Today’s crypto news to know
Wall Street firms scale back MicroStrategy exposure
Fresh filings show major US asset managers cut their exposure to Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) (formerly MicroStrategy) through the third quarter, reducing positions by more than US$5 billion as the stock’s premium to its Bitcoin holdings continued to compress.
The company’s mNAV multiple has fallen close to parity as the market reassesses how much extra value investors are willing to assign to a Bitcoin-heavy corporate balance sheet. Pressure intensified after JPMorgan warned clients that MSCI is weighing whether companies with more than half of their assets in crypto should remain eligible for major equity indexes.
Index exclusion would not affect operations, Strategy chairman Michael Saylor said, but it has accelerated debate about the long-term viability of the digital-asset-treasury model.
Filings indicate that investment firms like BlackRock, Vanguard, and Capital International all pared their holdings, even as Bitcoin remained relatively stable earlier in the quarter.
Analysts say institutional investors could continue reducing exposure to corporate BTC proxies if volatility persists, as Bitcoin now faces one of its sharpest drawdowns since 2022.
JPMorgan hit by backlash After new debanking allegations
JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) is facing an uproar from Bitcoin advocates after Strike CEO Jack Mallers disclosed that the bank abruptly closed his personal accounts in September without explanation.
According to a report by the The Street, the news came just days after a JPMorgan research note highlighted MSCI’s proposal to exclude companies holding more than 50 percent. of their assets in crypto from its flagship indexes.
The move was widely interpreted as targeting Bitcoin-treasury firms such as Strategy. Crypto advocates quickly labeled the developments a revival of “Operation Chokepoint 2.0,” arguing that major banks and regulators are again restricting access to financial services for digital-asset firms and their executives.
The controversy has prompted calls across Bitcoin forums and social media for a coordinated boycott of JPMorgan, echoing earlier grievances about sudden account closures dating back to 2017.
Michael Burry debuts newsletter after Scion shutdown
Michael Burry, best known for his prescient bet against the US housing market in 2008, has launched a paid Substack newsletter soon after closing his hedge fund, Scion Asset Management.
In his introductory post, Burry emphasized that the move does not mark retirement but rather a shift toward writing without the regulatory constraints that accompany professional money management.
Priced at US$39 per month, the newsletter quickly drew more than 21,000 subscribers. Early essays revisit his trading history during the dot-com era and outline why he views today’s AI-driven boom as a supply-glutted bubble primed for correction.
With Scion now closed, Burry says the newsletter will become his primary outlet for analysis as he continues to track what he views as speculative excess building across technology markets.
