Summary · why it matters

Dan Loeb's Third Point increased its reported Hut 8 Corp. stake to 1,315,000 common shares at June 30 from 869,563 at March 31 and disclosed a new position of $3.5 million principal amount of Riot Platforms notes valued at approximately $7.03 million, according to consecutive SEC filings. The two positions are not matching equity stakes: Third Point holds Hut 8 common shares but Riot debt, so buying the two common stocks would not reproduce the disclosed exposure. Hut 8's August 4 update reported 949 megawatts of contracted IT capacity, approximately $26.6 billion of expected aggregate base-term contract value and $7.5 billion of project financing secured, figures that describe a development opportunity rather than revenue already earned. Riot's June-quarter data-center revenue was $23.2 million, comprising $4.9 million of operating lease revenue and $18.3 million of tenant fit-out services, and the company has delivered the first 25 megawatts to AMD while adding a 191-megawatt lease with a frontier AI lab with phased delivery expected in December 2027 and June 2028. August 14 short interest represented 12.22% of Hut 8's float and 14.47% of Riot's, and the filings do not establish recent trades or Loeb's reasons for owning either security.

Bitcoin Tops $81,000 as Short Squeeze Offsets Rate and Regulatory Pressure

Bitcoin surged above $81,000 on Saturday as a wave of short liquidations and renewed spot demand helped the cryptocurrency rebound from losses triggered by higher interest rates and a setback for U.S. crypto legislation. Bitcoin climbed as high as $81,702 on Sept. 18 after trading near $76,400 a day earlier, marking its first move above $80,000 since Sept. 7, and was trading at $81,309.4 as of 22:50 ET, up 5.62% for the day. The rebound followed a difficult week in which the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points and the Bank of Japan followed with a quarter-point increase to 1.25%, its highest policy rate in 31 years, while U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded about $159 million of inflows on Sept. 17. A sharp short squeeze then accelerated Friday's rally, with roughly $192 million of leveraged crypto positions liquidated within one hour, including more than $183 million in shorts, of which Bitcoin shorts accounted for about $119 million. Regulatory uncertainty remains in focus after the U.S. Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act this week, though the CFTC has submitted a separate crypto market proposal to the White House Office of Management and Budget and the SEC introduced an innovation exemption giving qualifying platforms a five-year route to offer onchain trading in certain tokenized stocks without registering as securities exchanges.

Bitcoin's Bull Market Is Cooling, Watch US Demand Slowdown and Altcoin Selling Pressure

In a weekly report published on September 16, CryptoQuant assessed the current Bitcoin market as a "cooling bull market." After its recent rally, Bitcoin entered a range of $76,000 to $82,000 and is now trading near the lower end of that band, while its bullish score index fell from 80 during the uptrend to 60. Weakness in US investor demand is also clear: the Coinbase Premium has slipped back into negative territory as Bitcoin corrects from around $80,000, and a recovery in spot demand is seen as essential for a sustained advance. Ethereum exchange inflows surged in late August and around September 10, briefly reaching 1.6 million to 1.7 million ETH, while altcoin exchange inflow transactions hit 56,000 on September 8, the highest level in about nine months. Bitcoin exchange inflows, by contrast, have been calm; they briefly rose to about 53,000 BTC when prices climbed to $82,000 but have since declined, indicating that large-scale selling is not continuing. The key price level ahead is around $70,000, where the 200-day moving average sits; a break below that would bring $62,000 to $65,000 into focus as the next major support.
