The dilution trap where Bitcoin holdings rise while shareholder value stalls

Buying shares in a Bitcoin treasury company gives ownership in a business that holds Bitcoin, and management decides how to pay for the coins and when to buy or sell them.  Related Asset Bitcoin #1 BTC · $77,290.19 24-hour change: down 0.22% 24H Down 0.22% 7D Down 3.04% 30D Up 21.38%  The company also has bills to pay and may owe money to lenders, so the shares value depends on those decisions and Bitcoins price.  Frances Capital B is a Bitcoin treasury company that makes that relationship easy to see. Between Aug. 17 and Sept. 7, its treasury Bitcoin holdings increased from 3,145 BTC to 3,521 BTC, roughly 12%.  However, Bitcoin per share barely moved under the companys calculation, which includes some shares that could be created in the future. More Bitcoin came into the business alongside more claims to ownership.  That result explains why the method of paying for Bitcoin belongs at the center of any assessment of a treasury stock.  Selling new shares raises cash, but existing shareholders then own a smaller percentage of the company. Borrowing preserves their percentage for the moment while adding a repayment obligation. Either can work well on favorable terms, but both affect the investments value.  Capital B is listed

Wall Street is building tokenized deposits to lock in customer balances

Imagine your company has enough money to pay a supplier, but the money is in its Singapore account and the bill must be paid from New York. If the transfer between those accounts has to wait until Monday, having enough cash overall doesnt solve the immediate problem.  Businesses work around this by moving money early or keeping extra cash in accounts where they might need it. Both tie up money that could be used elsewhere, and sometimes a company even borrows in one country while its own cash is available in another.  Banks want to make those transfers easier. On Sept. 5, DBS and Citis New York office completed a dollar payment between Singapore and the US in minutes, according to DBSs announcement. To achieve that, they used tokenized deposits, a way of recording bank deposits as digital tokens, through SWIFTs digital ledger.  The announcement describes the payment route, and the banks still havent disclosed the amount or established that every customer can use it. But it gives them a concrete example of the service they want to sell: moving company money across borders when customers need it, including on weekends.  Banks are doing this because its potentially a very lucrative deal. Companies that

UK crypto firms get five-month window to seek FCA approval

UK crypto firms have been given a five-month application window, from Sep. 30 to Feb. 28, to seek Financial Conduct Authority approval before a new regulatory regime is expected to take effect in October 2027.  The Financial Times published a letter from Zumo founder and CEO Nick Jones, who said the application window gives firms a route into a UK market that some financial institutions had previously considered “too difficult.” In his view, uncertainty over regulation and the risks posed by business partners had held institutions back, even where they understood digital assets and wanted to offer related products.  The FCAs published timetable puts an exact date on the next step: applications open on Sep. 30, 2026, close on Feb. 28, 2027, and the new regime is expected to begin on Oct. 25, 2027. The regulator opened a pre-application support service in July to help firms prepare before they file.  UK crypto firms must apply for new permissions  Under the incoming rules, a firm carrying out regulated crypto activities will need FCA authorisation or a change to its existing permissions. The FCA says its current crypto oversight has focused mainly on anti-money-laundering registration and financial promotions; the 2027 framework will bring more activities into

BIS warns AI could cut banks patching window to minutes

Advanced AI has cut the time banks may have to repair software flaws from weeks to minutes, according to a new Bank for International Settlements paper that calls for faster security decisions and patching.  The Bank for International Settlements paper, published on Sep. 9 by its Financial Stability Institute, says banks need to shorten the time between finding a weakness, approving a fix, and installing it. Its authors identify AI systems that can find vulnerabilities and turn them into working attacks as the main change facing financial firms.  “The window between vulnerability discovery and exploitation has narrowed from weeks to minutes,” the authors wrote. The paper does not say every flaw can be exploited that quickly. It argues that regular security reviews and fixed maintenance schedules may leave firms exposed when an attack can be prepared before the next planned repair.  BIS says faster attacks require faster bank decisions  According to the paper, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority has found that firms are struggling to respond as quickly as vulnerabilities are being discovered. The Institute of International Finance has urged firms to install urgent fixes outside normal maintenance periods, even when doing so requires planned downtime.  Separate voluntary guidance from the U.K.s Cross Market Operational
