PANews reported on October 9th that Kerrisdale Capital, a prominent short-selling firm, announced it has shorted Bitmine, the Ethereum treasury reserve company. The firm believes the DAT (Digital Asset Treasury) model has become mediocre, with the market flooded with copycat projects, resulting in a collapse in premiums and a loss of the ability to increase ETH per share by issuing shares above net asset value. Companies pursuing this "crypto-asset treasury strategy" originally planned to raise over $100 billion, but the scarcity that underpinned the high premiums has been shattered. Today, many of these companies' shares are trading near or below net asset value, stalling their self-circulating mechanism and beginning to collapse. MSTR, one of the earliest DATs, has seen its premium decline from 2-2.5 times its net asset value to approximately 1.4 times. BMNR's premium has also continued to decline, with expectations of parity with or even lower than its net asset value. Currently, BMNR's MNAV is approximately 1.4 times, leaving over 40% room for further decline.PANews reported on October 9th that Kerrisdale Capital, a prominent short-selling firm, announced it has shorted Bitmine, the Ethereum treasury reserve company.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models
The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
