Blockstream co-founder Adam Back commented on the controversy within the Bitcoin community regarding BIP 110, stating that he understands and sympathizes with the concerns of those supporting BIP 110, who hate spam transactions and want to protect the network. However, the proposal is essentially an act of "trying to monitor others," which would erode Bitcoin's decentralization, security, and neutrality, fundamentally conflicting with the spirit of Bitcoin.In response, Michael Saylor retweeted and stated, "There are 110 things more dangerous to Bitcoin than spam. BIP 110 turns the spam controversy into a consensus change, which will invalidate some currently valid transactions that have paid fees. This precedent is the real danger, and we should focus our energy on the truly important threats."Previously, David Bailey, chairman of the Bitcoin Treasury Company Nakamoto and chairman of Bitcoin Magazine, stated that the failure of the so-called "BIP-110" long-standing controversy constitutes an "extreme benefit" for Bitcoin and believes this further validates the network's resistance to attacks and splits.

OpenAI stated that it expects this news may leak, so it chose to proactively disclose it.

The announcement also stated that the statement is issued under Section 135 of the revised Securities Act of 1933, does not constitute an offer to sell securities, nor does it constitute a solicitation of an offer to purchase any securities.

Strategy CEO Phong Le posted on platform X that Strategy has been continuously increasing its Bitcoin reserves over the long term and raising its Bitcoin holdings per share. Other statements are just rumors.

SpaceX disclosed in its latest S-1 filing that it holds approximately 18,712 bitcoins, with a current market value of about $1.4 billion, significantly higher than previous market expectations, with a cost of about $661 million. This bitcoin holding has become an important component of SpaceX's balance sheet, accounting for about 1.8% of total assets, making it one of the major corporate bitcoin holders, second only to a few institutions.The more critical issue lies in the financial volatility risk brought about by accounting treatment. Analysts say that measuring bitcoin at fair value will cause its price fluctuations to be directly reflected in the financial reports each quarter, potentially leading to significant profit volatility unrelated to core business (rocket launches, satellite business), creating significant "accounting noise." Market participants believe that this mechanism may make it more difficult for investors to assess SpaceX's true operational performance, with the bitcoin holding potentially evolving from a "strategic reserve asset" to a key variable affecting the stability of financial reports.
