As of September 20, 2026, its total Ethereum holdings reached 5,983,940, accounting for approximately 4.9% of the total Ethereum supply.Currently, the total value of the cryptocurrencies, cash, and other investment assets held by BitMine is approximately $17.1 billion, which includes $714 million in cash and securities, 212 Bitcoin, $180 million in equity assets from Beast Industries, and a $105 million investment in Eightco Holdings (ORBS). Additionally, the amount of Ethereum it has staked remains at 5,067,309 (85% of total holdings), valued at approximately $13.6 billion, with a current annualized staking yield of about $357 million.Furthermore, BitMine Chairman Tom Lee stated in the company's weekly report that the crypto bull market began in late June 2026, driven by factors including the rotation of funds from AI stocks to crypto assets, the continued strengthening of crypto fundamentals centered around tokenization and AI, and the four-year cycle hitting bottom. So far in the third quarter, ETH has outperformed the S&P 500 by over 6,519 basis points, making it the best macro asset globally.Lee believes that ETH's significant outperformance in the third quarter is a prelude to a stronger upward trend in the fourth quarter; due to institutions being underweight in crypto assets influenced by the performance of AI stocks in the first half of 2026, a significant increase in allocation is expected in the fourth quarter, which may bring additional upside to the gains since June 30. Additionally, Lee will deliver a keynote speech at the Korea Blockchain Week (KBW) on September 30.

A family in the northern French town of Vendin-le-Vieil was invaded and taken hostage by four masked men early Sunday morning. According to BFMTV, the suspects entered the house around 4 AM, binding the couple and their two children with tape, and held them for over three hours.

The 12-year-old daughter was struck in the face with a car key during the incident, and the victims are in a state of shock; they have been sent for forensic examination and are receiving support from the victims' assistance association. The case has been filed under organized gang kidnapping and extortion and is being jointly investigated by the regional judicial police and the French Cybercrime Office.France is the country most severely affected by such "ransom attacks" globally. Records from the national prosecutor's office for organized crime show that over 70 kidnapping and illegal detention incidents related to cryptocurrency have occurred in the first eight months of 2026, with 88 people already prosecuted in earlier crackdowns this year.

Chainalysis reported that global ransom attacks in 2026 resulted in approximately 30 million dollars in losses, while CertiK stated that losses over six months reached 124 million dollars, a 12-fold increase.

The Bank of Korea (BOK) has launched the first 24-hour Korean won settlement network pilot, aimed at allowing foreign investors to settle won transactions outside of normal banking hours in South Korea. The central bank announced on Monday that its international wire transfer network has begun trial operations with four domestic banks: KB Kookmin Bank, Woori Bank, Hana Bank, and Shinhan Bank. Full operations are expected to start in January 2027, at which point participation will expand to other institutions and foreign banks.The network operates 24 hours a day on weekdays, excluding weekends and public holidays. Foreign investors can settle won transactions during their domestic business hours by registering a Foreign Institution (RFI-K) account for won services, without the need to open an account directly with a South Korean financial institution. The Bank of Korea stated that the network is expected to enhance the international status of the won by improving foreign investors' access to won settlement infrastructure.In addition, the Bank of Korea is also experimenting with tokenized settlement infrastructure through the Agorá project led by the Bank for International Settlements, which completed a cross-border payment trial using tokenized central bank reserves and commercial bank deposits, including the won, in July. The Bank of Korea is simultaneously advancing the Hangang project, a blockchain-based pilot that utilizes wholesale central bank digital currency to settle tokenized commercial bank deposits.

The U.S. House Financial Services Committee passed the amended H.R. 8957, the U.S. Reserve Modernization Act, with a vote of 28 to 21, aiming to incorporate the U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve and digital asset reserve program into federal law. The bill proposes that Bitcoin legally held by the federal government and without other statutory purposes must be held for at least 20 years from the effective date of the bill, during which it cannot be sold, exchanged, auctioned, pledged, or disposed of in any other way.The bill still needs to be passed by the House, the Senate, and signed by Trump. The bill also requires the Treasury Department to establish relevant reserves within 180 days of its enactment and to publish an annual reserve certification report covering holdings, transactions, and private key control. The Treasury Department and the Department of Commerce will study legal and budget-neutral ways to increase Bitcoin holdings, but this provision does not authorize direct purchases.

Mustafa Suleyman, head of AI at Microsoft, stated in a CNN program that concerns about China's progress in the AI field should not be used as a reason to oppose setting safeguards for this rapidly developing technology. He said, "I believe we should not use China as a shield to avoid advancing our own AI safety work."This statement contrasts with President Trump's call for essentially unrestricted development of AI. The Microsoft AI team released a declaration last Tuesday, aiming to ensure that humanity always maintains control over the AI systems developed by the company. Suleyman pointed out that regulation should not be seen as a bad thing, but rather as a means to establish common norms and standards to enhance safety; regulation does not necessarily slow us down. The report was published on September 21, Beijing time, according to Bloomberg.
