Joe Raedle/Getty Images News Michael Saylor may have signaled that Strategy ( MSTR ) is preparing to resume its bitcoin accumulation following last week's unexpected BTC sale. On Sunday, Strategy's executive chairman shared the company's bitcoin acquisition tracker on X, accompanied by the message: "A good time to add more dots." Michael Saylor X Investors have historically viewed such posts as a hint that the company is planning another bitcoin purchase, though no official announcement has been made. Any acquisition would likely be disclosed on Monday. Strategy CEO Phong Le added to the speculation by responding to Saylor's post, reiterating the company's long-term commitment to bitcoin. "Our corporate @Strategy is to increase net Bitcoin and Bitcoin per share over time," Le wrote. "Rumors otherwise are just rumors." Shortly afterward, Saylor posted another cryptic message on X consisting only of the number "32?" — an apparent reference to Strategy's sale of 32 bitcoin last week. Michael Saylor X The comments come after Strategy raised eyebrows last week by revealing it had sold 32 bitcoin, valued at approximately $2.5M. While the amount represents only a tiny fraction of the company's more than 843,000-BTC holdings, it marked Strategy's first bitcoin sale since 2022 and prompted questions about whether the firm could become a seller after years of consistently adding to its position. Some investors speculated that additional bitcoin sales could be used to fund dividend obligations or strengthen liquidity if market conditions worsen. Those concerns intensified after bitcoin fell below $60,000 on Friday, reaching its lowest level since October 2024. Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) traded at $62.96K at press time. Meanwhile, Strategy also drew attention from investors after regulatory filings released Friday showed planned insider stock sales totaling about $15M. CEO Phong Le disclosed plans to sell roughly $11.1M worth of shares, while CFO Andrew Kang filed to sell approximatel...

winhorse/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images Investment Thesis I assign Nintendo ( NTDOY ) ( NTDOF ) ( NTDO:CA ) a buy rating because I believe the market is currently underestimating the company's ability to both monetize and expand their current ecosystem of 129 million annual playing users. Investors have focused on the company's conservative fiscal guidance, decreasing hardware growth, and rising component costs, while management is instead focused on increasing engagement with their software, digital sales, online services, and even expanding the monetization of their broader IP. The Switch 2 has already proven its demand, nearing sales of 20 million units during its first fiscal year on the market, while the company's software momentum and continuously expanding first and third-party lineups provide additional catalysts for future earnings growth. Despite these improving fundamentals, the company continues to trade near the lower end of their five-year historical trailing twelve-month EV to EBITDA range following a significant multiple compression. In sum, I believe Nintendo currently offers an attractive risk-reward opportunity for any investor willing to look beyond near-term global headwinds and focus instead on the company's long-term strategy for ecosystem growth. Earnings Recap Nintendo reported a fiscal year that exceeded all expectations, mainly due, of course, to the sales of the Nintendo Switch 2. Revenue nearly doubled, up an impressive 98.6% YoY, to ¥2.31 trillion. The company's net profit was also up 52.1% YoY to ¥424 billion. During its first fiscal year out on the market, the Switch 2 sold an impressive 19.86 million units; this not only exceeded the company's original expectations, but the console also made history by being Nintendo's strongest and fastest-selling hardware launch in history. Consolidated Financial Highlights (Nintendo FY Ended March 2026 Financial Results Explanatory Material) Meanwhile, the company's software sales were also ex...

Google's New CAPTCHA Plans Will Create A Two-Tier Internet Only Accessible To Those With 'Approved' Devices Authored by Dr R P via The Daily Sceptic , Never mind Fancy Bear , or the NSO Group , the biggest threat to the open internet today is from the Big Tech corporations on which it has come to depend. For what else are we to conclude given that Google appears to be working on a system to lock large parts of the internet behind a new form of CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) designed not to tell apart humans from bots, but instead to make an un-person of anyone who doesn't own an 'approved' Android or Apple device. Google's reCAPTCHA service is used by a wide variety of websites , many of them independent of Google in every other regard, to limit incoming traffic or data entered into contact forms. It is intended to prevent automated software from accessing these resources and using them to send spam messages or flood websites with denial of service attacks. You have probably encountered it when told to identify all the bicycles in a grid of images. Under the auspices of its Cloud Fraud Defence programme, Google is introducing a new form of CAPTCHA for which the way to 'prove' one is a human is to be in possession of a Google-approved device. Reclaim the Net's original reporting focused on the threat to deGoogled phones, meaning phones running Android-like operating systems which have Google's - often unwelcome - proprietary features removed, such as GrapheneOS or LineageOS. However , just as the dull name of 'age verification' serves as a cloak beneath which schemes to end all truly personal computing can be smuggled, the danger here could be much broader than the technically focused headline implies. As the sources discussing this are relatively few, it is hard to ascertain exactly what has already been rolled out and what is still in the conceptual stages. But it appears that the new style of CAPTCHA threatens ...
