Almost the entire Bond 2 capacity came through stBTC. That's a pretty clear sign that liquidity and staking don't have to compete; they can work together. Curious to see what Bond 3 brings. 🟧

Second-Largest Bitcoin Miner Riot Sells 10,599 BTC in Q3, Holdings Drop Nearly 79% from End of June Riot Platforms, the second-largest publicly listed Bitcoin mining company, sold 10,599 Bitcoin in the third quarter, reducing its holdings from 11,380 at the end of June to 2,418 at the end of September, a decline of nearly 79%.

The company reported third-quarter revenue of $181 million, up 1% year-over-year, with net income of $4.03 million, compared with $104 million in the same period last year. Bitcoin mining revenue was $116 million, down about 28% year-over-year. Riot also signed a 15-year data center lease agreement with an unnamed leading AI lab for 910 MW of IT capacity, with an initial contract value of approximately $28 billion. The company has now contracted a total of 1,151 MW of data center capacity, with long-term contract revenue of about $38 billion.

🚨 BLOCK ADDED MORE BITCOIN 👀 $XYZ added 120 BTC in Q3, bringing its stash to 9,237 BTC. The twist: Bitcoin ecosystem gross profit fell 50%, while overall gross profit grew 22%. Two very different stories inside one company. #Bitcoin #Earnings

🗞️ BitGo has launched Bitcoin staking on the Stacks network. Through this new service, institutional custody customers who meet eligibility criteria can earn rewards in BTC while continuing to hold their Bitcoin assets with BitGo Bank & Trust. #BitGo #Stacks #Bitcoin $BTC #staking #Crypto

📈 Block Inc., the financial technology company founded by Jack Dorsey, recorded a net profit of $566 million in the third quarter of 2026, surpassing the $462 million net profit recorded during the same period last year. Following this performance, Block raised its gross profit outlook for 2026 to $12.63 billion. Meanwhile, the company’s gross profit from the Bitcoin ecosystem declined by 50% year-over-year to $52 million, due to reduced fees on Cash App. #JackDorsey #Block #Bitcoin #CashApp

⚖️ Block reaches a deferred prosecution agreement with the DOJ, delaying a money laundering charge for three years. The agreement is not an acquittal: Block must meet specific conditions to avoid criminal prosecution. Cash App paid $40 million in New York and committed $80 million to address AML deficiencies. Bitcoin remains under scrutiny.

Staking gives token holders another way to participate in a blockchain ecosystem beyond simply holding an asset. For $BTT holders, BTTC provides a staking opportunity that connects token participation with the wider BitTorrent blockchain ecosystem. The latest weekly update highlights an increase in the available staking APY, showing continued activity around $BTT staking on BTTC. But the broader significance of staking goes beyond the reward figure. It gives holders another way to engage with the ecosystem and participate in its staking infrastructure rather than limiting their involvement to market activity. This is an important part of building token utility. A blockchain ecosystem becomes more engaging when its native assets have practical roles across different areas of network activity. As BitTorrent continues developing its blockchain ecosystem, staking remains one of the ways $BTT connects holders with BTTC. The opportunity to participate adds another dimension to the relationship between the token and the network supporting it. @BitTorrent @trondao @justinsuntron #TRONEcoStar
