Index

A crypto Index provides a way for investors to gain diversified exposure to a specific basket of digital assets through a single tokenized product. These indices often track specific sectors, such as DeFi, DePIN, or RWA, and are automatically rebalanced via smart contracts. In 2026, AI-managed thematic indices have become the gold standard for passive investing, allowing users to track the "blue chips" of the Web3 economy without manual portfolio management. This tag covers index methodology, rebalancing frequency, and the benefits of diversified crypto baskets.

Japanese Firm Metaplanet Plans $1.2B Share Sale to Buy More Bitcoin

The post Japanese Firm Metaplanet Plans $1.2B Share Sale to Buy More Bitcoin appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The post Japanese Firm Metaplanet Plans $1.2B Share Sale to Buy More Bitcoin appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Japanese investment firm Metaplanet is doubling down on its Bitcoin-first strategy, announcing its bold plans to raise $1.2 billion through an international share sale. Out of this, a significant $835 million will be used to purchase more Bitcoin to strengthen its position in the digital asset space. This move signals Metaplanet’s growing confidence in Bitcoin and its strategy to strengthen its position in the digital asset space. Metaplanet Plan To Raise $1.2 Billion In a recent tweet, Metaplanet announced that it will issue up to 555 million new shares, which could increase its total stock count from 722 million to approximately $1.27 billion.

(@Metaplanet_JP) August 27, 2025 However, the majority of the funds, about ¥123.818 billion ($837 million) will be used to purchase more Bitcoin between September and October 2025. The remaining ¥6.516 billion ($44 million) is set aside for Bitcoin-related financial operations, giving the company flexibility to manage its growing crypto portfolio. Beyond Buying Bitcoin Not all of the raised funds will go directly into Bitcoin. Roughly $440 million will support the company’s “Bitcoin Income Business,” which earns money by selling covered call options on its BTC holdings. Why Bitcoin? Metaplanet’s leadership has been clear about its motivation. With Japan’s yen weakening and inflationary pressures growing, the company sees Bitcoin as a hedge and a long-term store of value.  The firm also believes the strategy will enhance shareholder value over time, aligning…

JLL Bid Intensity Index, gauge of CRE transaction volume, improves in July

After a pullback in commercial real estate activity earlier this year due to broad economic uncertainty, there are new signs that activity is on the move again.  Capital is increasing and “bidder dynamics” are stabilizing, according to JLL’s global Bid Intensity Index, which saw improvement in July — its first since December.  The index measures bidding activity in order to give a real-time view of liquidity and competitiveness in private real estate capital markets. That, in turn, is an indicator for future capital flows across investment sales transactions. It is composed of three sub-indices:  Bid-Ask Spread: Final winning bid vs. the asking price Bids per Deal: Average number of bids per deal Bid Variability: Pricing variability of final bids The stabilization in bidding dynamics comes as property sector performance fundamentals are holding up and asset valuations have generally held firm so far this year, despite weaker investor sentiment, according to the report. “With no shortage of liquidity, institutional investors are returning to the market with more capital sources and a renewed appetite for real estate,” said Ben Breslau, chief research officer at JLL. “While further recovery is expected to be gradual after moderating earlier this year, borrowing costs and real estate values in most markets have stabilized, so we expect momentum to pick up through the second half of the year.” Get Property Play directly to your inbox CNBC’s Property Play with Diana Olick covers new…

US-Based Healthcare Company Takes Action to Purchase Billions of Dollars in Bitcoin! Here Are the Details

US-Based Healthcare Company Takes Action to Purchase Billions of Dollars in Bitcoin! Here Are the Details

The post US-Based Healthcare Company Takes Action to Purchase Billions of Dollars in Bitcoin! Here Are the Details appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Nasdaq-listed healthcare services company KindlyMD announced plans to issue up to $5 billion in stock to expand its Bitcoin-focused strategy. Nasdaq Company KindlyMD Aims to Grow Its Bitcoin Treasury with $5 Billion in Shares The company will sell its shares gradually through the at-the-market (ATM) method, as part of its registration application submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The company’s statement stated that the proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, but its top priority is to expand its Bitcoin treasury. Shares will be offered at market prices through brokers such as TD Securities, Cantor Fitzgerald, and B. Riley Securities. KindlyMD’s move follows its recent merger with Bitcoin-focused Nakamoto Holdings, which saw the firm make its first major crypto move by purchasing 5,744 BTC. Industry analysts note that KindlyMD’s strategy follows the institutional Bitcoin treasury model pioneered by MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor. It’s reported that many companies currently hold Bitcoin and Ethereum in their reserves, and they’re also beginning to focus on altcoins like Solana, BNB, and XRP. According to Google Finance data, KindlyMD (NAKA) shares closed down 12% at $8.07 on Tuesday, while the price of Bitcoin rose 1.40% in the last 24 hours to $112,370. This move by the company is considered a new indicator of Wall Street’s deepening interest in crypto assets. *This is not investment advice.

Like it or not, Jim Chanos’ MSTR short trade was a winner

Like it or not, Jim Chanos’ MSTR short trade was a winner

The post Like it or not, Jim Chanos’ MSTR short trade was a winner appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Although they’d hate to admit it, even Michael Saylor’s biggest fans would agree that Jim Chanos’ bearish Strategy (MSTR) trade this year has been exceptionally profitable. Chanos sold shares short and fully hedged that short-sale with a long bitcoin (BTC) position. In other words, rather than betting against MSTR’s overvaluation on an absolute basis, he merely prepared for its premium relative to its BTC holdings to collapse. It has. On May 14 at the 2025 New York Sohn Investment Conference, Chanos explained that he’d been building his short position in Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) since its 2.5x mNAV in November 2024. On numerous podcasts and interviews over the past few months, he’s reiterated that his overall cost basis is above 2x mNAV. That’s a terrific cost basis for someone betting a low-single digit percentage of his fund on the price of MSTR declining. As of today, MSTR’s basic mNAV has declined to 1.42x, and its newly-introduced enterprise value mNAV is 1.63x. The acronym mNAV refers to the multiple of Strategy’s market capitalization to its colloquial net asset value (NAV). Even though companies don’t have a NAV, technically speaking, crypto investors colloquially refer to a company’s crypto holdings as its NAV. Strategy’s NAV is approximately $70 billion. Needless to say, Chanos’ trade has been very profitable. Any shares he sold short at 2.5x mNAV are worth at least 34% more today below 1.64x. For a fund manager benchmarking to the returns of the S&P 500 Index since November 1, 2024, that 34% gain outperforms his benchmark by an impressive 2,100 basis points. Even shares sold short at 2x mNAV have outperformed the S&P by at least 500 basis points. Buying something for $1, selling it for $2.50 Of course, Chanos’ two-pronged trade involves margin costs and management fees, so he’s paid out…

Comparing Six Deep Learning Feature Extractors for CBIR Tasks

Comparing Six Deep Learning Feature Extractors for CBIR Tasks

This article evaluates six deep-learning feature extractors for content-based image retrieval (CBIR), spanning both self-supervised and supervised approaches. It analyzes DINOv1, DINOv2, and DreamSim as ImageNet-pretrained self-supervised models, and contrasts them with SwinTransformer and two ResNet50 variants—one trained on RadImageNet and another on fractal geometry renderings. By extending earlier studies, the comparison highlights how backbone choice, training data, and pretraining strategies impact performance across medical and synthetic imaging tasks.
