Bitcoin miner HIVE Digital Technologies missed the Aug. 10 deadline for its quarter-ended-June 30 Form 10-Q even as preliminary revenue climbed to approximately $79 million. In an Aug. 11 late-filing notice, the firm said the delay relates exclusively to the accounting and disclosures for contested Swedish value-added tax assessments, and that it expects to file within the Rule 12b-25 extension period. HIVE said recent developments in the Swedish proceedings increased the probability that it would record a noncash accrual. It needs more time to decide the accounting amount and finish the related financial statements and disclosures. Until that amount is…

Canton Network solves a problem that has kept most banks off public blockchains: it lets multiple institutions record and settle the same transaction on shared infrastructure while each party sees only the portion of that transaction it is actually involved in. This is called sub-transaction privacy, and it is the core reason banks such as JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and DTCC now run live workflows on Canton instead of a private, closed-off ledger. What Is Sub-Transaction Privacy? On a public blockchain like Ethereum, every node stores every transaction. That works for open finance but fails for banks, which cannot let competitors…

Strategy said it held 840,447 $BTC as of Aug. 9 and has begun treating its Bitcoin reserve as a source of balance-sheet flexibility. Michael Saylor said Strategy sold $108 million in Bitcoin and $653 million in MSTR shares to increase its dollar reserve by $650 million, and repurchased $109 million of STRC, its variable-rate preferred stock. The timing aligns the three moves without proving that each dollar from the Bitcoin sale directly funded the repurchase. Strategy is also willing to convert a small portion of its $BTC into liquidity while supporting a capital structure whose dividends and interest are measured…

Galaxy Digital (NASDAQ: GLXY) and TeraWulf (NASDAQ: WULF), two pure play Bitcoin miners to have made the AI pivot, saw contrasting fortunes as both firms turned in their respective scorecards for the second quarter of 2026 on August 5. Both firms’ relatively nascent AI data center businesses did a lot of the heavy lifting in the Q2 results, which were released before markets opened Wednesday. TeraWulf’s profits set it up for a pre-market run while Galaxy’s loss set off a slide that has grown to almost 7%. How did markets react to Galaxy’s Q2 earnings report? Investors were not impressed…

The BitMart withdrawal deadline for users covered by its U.S. rules is Aug. 8 at 23:59 UTC, an earlier regional cutoff than the exchange’s Aug. 26 global trading halt.

They may also need to convert or withdraw assets that are not supported by their intended destination.…

Ukraine’s reconstruction may create a limited but practical role for Bitcoin mining within its damaged electricity system. Rather than directly financing rebuilding, mining could instead act as a flexible buyer for electricity that cannot yet reach homes, businesses, or industrial users. In that context, the Bitcoin Policy Institute argues that miners could operate near power plants, consume stranded electricity, and reduce or halt usage when demand rises elsewhere. Such flexibility could be particularly relevant during reconstruction, given the scale of Ukraine’s energy damage and broader rebuilding needs. Bitcoin Mining’s Role in Ukraine’s $588 Billion Rebuild The World Bank, European Commission,…

Hashdex will stop trading its DEFI Bitcoin ETF after the Aug. 17 close, giving investors a final window to exit before the fund is liquidated. According to an SEC filing, investors who remain after trading ends will receive cash from the liquidation of its Bitcoin holdings by Aug. 28.

Hashdex data showed DEFI held about $8.7 million in assets and 134.95 $BTC on Aug. 11, down from $11.77 million and 180.26 $BTC…
