Strategy’s biggest risk may not be a Bitcoin crash, but losing access to the capital markets that help it service $1.76 billion in annual obligations. Strategy’s Bitcoin treasury may be less vulnerable to a crypto market crash than to a prolonged loss of capital-market access, a risk that could threaten its ability to fund roughly $1.76 billion in annual obligations without selling Bitcoin, according to a recent analysis from Regime Intelligence.

The report noted that Strategy’s debt does not function like a conventional Bitcoin-backed margin loan, with no BTC-linked margin call that would fo... -

Hugging Face relies on open weight Chinese models to defend itself from rogue AI agents. But a lack of safety guardrails makes those models potentially dangerous too. “AI will probably most likely lead to the end of the world, but in the meantime, there’ll be great companies,” said OpenAI CEO Sam Altman back in 2015, roughly six months before OpenAI was founded. Seven years later, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei struck a similarly cautious note: Yet, both of those companies now sit at the forefront of that race. In July, we got a real-world glimpse of AI models going rogue during internal testing of GPT-5.6 Sol and an unreleased research model by OpenAI. Multiple AI agents escaped a restricted test environment to the wider internet and hacked the AI-centric GitHub equivalent Hugging Face in an attempt to cheat on the test. Read more -
