Robinhood added $25 million in bitcoin to its corporate assets, while US federal wallets moved another 12,267.02 BTC. Justin Drake urged holders to prepare for bunker mode over AI risks to cryptography, and Ray Dalio warned the US could face a debt crisis within three years.
Robinhood is adding bitcoin to its corporate balance sheet, extending its exposure beyond the crypto services it offers customers. The $25 million purchase is not a market-moving amount, according to Bitcoin News editors. They argue, though, that it could revive the story of companies putting BTC on their books.
US government wallets keep moving bitcoin
Federal wallets moved another 12,267.02 BTC worth approximately $1.01 billion on Thursday. That followed two days of bitcoin transfers totaling $770 million.
The purpose is unclear. Bitcoin News editors say the moves could reflect basic security practices, preparation for Q day, or a possible sale. Bulls may also wonder whether the transfers prepare for a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, on which official word is still pending.
Drake urges bunker mode as AI threat divides experts
Blockchain researcher Justin Drake is urging crypto holders to prepare for bunker mode, warning that AI-driven mathematical discoveries could threaten widely used cryptography. Crypto experts disagree over the threat to Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Bitcoin News editors call Drake's warning probably premature. Moving assets on-chain ahead of Q Day, they argue, adds attack surface and raises the chance of error, though they call the underlying point legitimate.
Wealthy investors and a debt warning
A survey of wealthy investors found digital assets, especially bitcoin, were the most common pick for the best long-term performer. Between 65% and 86% of respondents cited currency debasement as a reason to hold Bitcoin.
Separately, Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio told Bloomberg on Oct. 6 that the U.S. could face a debt crisis within three years as interest payments crowd out the rest of the federal budget.
