Strive CEO Matt Cole stated in an interview with Bitcoin Magazine that its benchmark scenario expects Bitcoin to achieve approximately 50% annualized returns by 2030. He presented a macro argument consisting of three parts, involving the U.S. dollar, long-term Treasury yields, and Bitcoin re-emerging as the "fastest horse" against gold.Matt Cole believes that when the Federal Reserve and the Treasury finally intervene to suppress long-term rates, the U.S. dollar will become the release valve, and scarce assets will surge significantly, allowing Bitcoin to once again play its role as the fastest asset against gold. The interview was hosted by Grace Remington and Sean Hagan and was published on September 15, 2026.

Swiss Bitcoin hardware wallet manufacturer BitBox announced that any BitBox hardware wallet user can create a Lightning Network hot wallet within the mobile BitBoxApp, allowing them to recharge directly from on-chain balances and pay invoices without switching between multiple apps, wallets, or third-party services. This Lightning wallet is derived from the user's existing BitBox backup, eliminating the need to record new mnemonic phrases, while the two wallets remain independent.The Lightning Network side operates as a hot wallet, aimed at small and everyday payment scenarios such as coffee, invoices, and quick transfers, while long-term savings are still managed by the hardware device. Within the BitBoxApp, users can scan and pay Lightning invoices, send and receive Bitcoin, obtain a dedicated Lightning address, recharge from the on-chain wallet, and transfer funds back again.This feature is built on the Breez SDK, making BitBox one of Breez's over 100 integrated partners. It is supported by Spark, allowing users to operate without running nodes, opening channels, or managing liquidity, with funds always kept under the user's control. Breez launched the developer app Glow in August to help developers understand how Lightning wallets operate and build their own products.

David Bailey, CEO and Chairman of Nakamoto Holdings, stated during a discussion hosted by investment bank TD Cowen that artificial intelligence could become the next engine driving Bitcoin adoption. He believes that the barriers to Bitcoin adoption have always been the interface rather than the asset itself; wallets, addresses, private keys, and the overall onboarding process have deterred mainstream users over the past decade, while AI-driven tools can abstract away this complexity, making it easier for ordinary individuals and institutions to use Bitcoin.TD Cowen analyst Lance Vitanza described this viewpoint as speculative but worth noting, suggesting that it shifts the adoption discussion away from traditional topics such as monetary policy, regulation, and institutional capital inflows. Bailey also mentioned that institutional adoption of Bitcoin is just beginning, with the changes brought about by spot ETFs, corporate treasury programs, and sovereign-level interest in the past year exceeding the total of the previous decade, and the opportunities ahead remain far greater than what has already been captured.When asked whether Bitcoin is reshaping traditional finance, Bailey firmly believes the answer is yes, as institutions, governments, and publicly traded companies are participating on a large scale, but the underlying properties of Bitcoin have not changed as a result. Nakamoto positions itself as a comprehensive Bitcoin platform covering media, conferences, education, asset management, consulting, and reserve business, and TD Cowen has given Nakamoto Holdings (NASDAQ: NAKA) a buy rating.
