🚨 OP_RETURN / Spam Monitoring

9. @CunyRenaud (Renaud Cuny)

10. @LukeDashjr (Luke Dashjr)

  • Post (Apr 30): Shared Linux critical vulnerability CVE-2026-31431 (CopyFail) — 732-byte Python script can root all Linux distros since 2017; called it "irresponsibly disclosed" https://x.com/LukeDashjr/status/2049633915787198677
  • Post (Apr 28): Bitcoin node count at 7,464; "only 8% of bitcoiners want Bitcoin to succeed?"; continued criticism of Core gaslighting https://x.com/LukeDashjr/status/2049018524316684460
  • No new OP_RETURN-specific posts in past 48h; current focus on node security and Linux infrastructure
  • Activity: Medium

11. @peterktodd (Peter Todd)

12. @GrassFedBitcoin (Mechanic #BIP-110)

OP_RETURN Summary

  • Spam share at new high: CunyRenaud Newsletter #23 data shows non-financial data in Bitcoin block space has reached 45% (3-year avg 30%); fee market and miners cannot solve this organically
  • Bitcoin Core "CAPTURE" investigation: hodlonaut series part 2 "The Lever" amplified by both CunyRenaud and GrassFedBitcoin; anti-Core governance narrative escalating
  • Node security: Bitcoin node count at 7,464; Core pre-v30 lost 6K nodes in one month (55K→49K); Knots may be the migration target
  • Linux infrastructure: CVE-2026-31431 (CopyFail) affects all Linux distros since 2017; mining pools and node operators should prioritize patching

Daily Report Part 3/3 — Key Companies 2026-05-01

🏢 Mining Public Companies

Bitdeer (BTDR)

  • NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano Omni debuts on Bitdeer AI Model Studio: Open multimodal inference model (video/audio/image/text); AI Cloud product line extending from compute rental to model services https://x.com/Bitdeer/status/2049706771472941423
  • BTC2026 wrap-up: SealMiner A4 series attracted significant attention with live mining performance and quiet design https://x.com/Bitdeer/status/2049748147967082613
  • ACJR crypto journalism award title sponsor: Ceremony May 7 in Miami https://x.com/Bitdeer/status/2049435466768748631
  • Pinned: SealMiner A4 Series (Apr 7); flagship A4 Ultra Hydro 900 TH/s @ 9.45 J/TH
  • Note: AI Cloud has substantive product update (Nemotron 3 Nano Omni), but no new mining/financial announcements; BTC holdings remain at 0

Marathon (MARA)

  • Today's headline — Long Ridge Energy & Power acquisition: Signed acquisition agreement for 505 MW CCGT natural gas combined cycle power plant + 1,600 acres of contiguous land in one of the world's largest AI/data center infrastructure markets; provides MARA ~600 gross MW of AI and critical IT capacity (PJM grid). Investor call today at 8:00am ET https://x.com/MARA/status/2049806832290676823
  • CFO framing — "Electrons are the new oil": Salman Khan on the acquisition — "Own energy, everything else follows"; 505 MW plant + controlled infrastructure is the core logic https://x.com/theRealSalKhan/status/2049818693790843164
  • Investor presentation released: Project Leopard transaction details deck now live https://x.com/MARA/status/2049835071788703830

Riot (RIOT)

CleanSpark (CLSK)

Hut 8 (HUT)

  • Today's highlight — $3.25B investment-grade notes formally closed: River Bend becomes the first single-sponsor data center project financed through the investment-grade construction bond market; establishes a pioneering financing model for data center development https://x.com/Hut8Corp/status/2049978937397158317
  • Financing structure: Fully amortizing notes maturing 2042 (16 years); financing 245 MW turnkey data center construction at River Bend; investment-grade rating is extremely rare among miners https://x.com/Hut8Corp/status/2049108992983486619

Core Scientific (CORZ)

Bitmain

Group focus: MARA's Long Ridge Energy & Power acquisition (505 MW plant + 1,600 acres) is today's biggest mining event — direct access to ~600 MW AI capacity on PJM grid, CFO framing: "electrons are the new oil." Hut 8's $3.25B investment-grade notes formally closed, forming an AI data center financing duopoly with Core Scientific's $3.3B notes (combined ~$6.6B). Bitdeer has an AI Cloud product update (Nemotron 3) but no mining-side moves. CleanSpark CEO pursuing policy route. Riot's 59-day silence remains anomalous.

💼 Strategy / Saylor

Strategy (@Strategy)

Michael Saylor (@saylor)

  • Today — STRC 11.50% dividend: Simultaneous Stretch 11.50% announcement https://x.com/saylor/status/2050002330343407887
  • Repost — Peter McCormack podcast: "Human capital is being demonetized" — a billion robots will compete for jobs, most people won't adapt, you have 10 years https://x.com/PeterMcCormack/status/2049911670848229460
  • Repost — Mason's 12 key takeaways: Based on Saylor's McCormack Show appearance — USD depreciates 7% annually, AI disrupting white-collar jobs https://x.com/MasonFoard/status/2049988839628829108
  • Pinned (Apr 4): "Bitcoin has won. The four-year cycle is dead. Price is now driven by capital flows."
  • Overall tone: STRC dividend stable + semi-monthly vote advancing; narrative shifting from credit product ecosystem to "human capital demonetization" macro framework

📈 Fundstrat / Tom Lee

Tom Lee (@fundstrat)

  • Today's view — "Tech stocks are not a bubble": Agrees with analyst Ren — current Mag 4 P/E ratios (META 16x, GOOGL 17x, AMZN 24x, MSFT 25x) far below dot-com bubble peaks (Microsoft 73x, Cisco 200x+, Yahoo 800x) https://x.com/fundstrat/status/2049962516768227507
  • Repost — Eightco/ORBS + MrBeast TIME 100: MrBeast named to TIME 100; ORBS holds ~7% of his Beast Industries (under Eightco); corporate crypto allocation expanding https://x.com/Iamhuman_ORBS/status/2049946830327202185
  • Pinned (Apr 16): S&P 500 ATH; leaders = crypto ($ETH $BTC $BMNR) + MAG7/software
  • Note: No new independent original analysis; primarily expressing "tech valuations are reasonable" stance via curated reposts

Action Items Summary

Combining Part 1 + Part 2 + Part 3:

🔴 Urgent

  1. CVE-2026-31431 (CopyFail) Linux vulnerability — 732-byte Python script can root all Linux distros since 2017. Mining pool and node servers must immediately audit and apply patches.
  2. SSV ETH-denominated payment migration — SSV top-up window closing soon; sole path is migration to ETH payments. Must immediately confirm stakefish-side SSV operator node payment status and migration plan.
  3. stakefish Cosmos proposal #1030 voting controversy — Community continues pressuring for a NoWithVeto change; stakefish still has not publicly responded. A PR response strategy is needed urgently to prevent further reputational damage.

🟡 Important

  1. MARA acquires Long Ridge Energy 505 MW plant — Mining AI infrastructure arms race in full escalation (MARA 600 MW + Hut 8 245 MW + Core Scientific 1.5 GW). f2pool needs to assess potential shifts in major client hashrate allocation.
  2. 30-year Treasury yield touches 5% again — Unprecedented debt-servicing pressure at $36T+; rate-cut cycle officially over. Impacts BTC medium-to-long-term valuation framework and mining financing costs.
  3. Kiln shutting down Story (IP) validator — Deadline 5/31. stakefish can proactively engage Story ecosystem delegators to capture migration flow.
  4. Bitcoin block space non-financial data reaches 45% — Up from 30% 3-year average, trend accelerating. Fee market cannot self-correct; directly impacts f2pool transaction fee revenue structure and filtering strategy.
  5. Riot 59-day social media silence — Zero BTC2026 activity; only miner with extended anomaly. May signal internal changes or strategic pivot; warrants continued monitoring.

🟢 Positive

  1. Japan JPX to launch BTC/Crypto ETF — World's 4th-largest economy opening to BTC, further expanding institutional capital entry points.
  2. cSSV Genesis Boost launched — $75K SSV reward pool, 30-day duration. stakefish can leverage this to boost SSV node operation yields.
  3. f2pool NAT distribution drives wallet address growth to 35K+ — Positive community feedback; MARA also observed mining KAS on f2pool, boosting brand recognition.
  4. Lido distributed 4,666 ETH (~$10.5M) in staking rewards last week — stETH ecosystem operating healthily.
  5. LDK Server officially released — Lightning infrastructure maturity improves; non-developers can now use LDK directly.
  6. Solana Research Institute publishes institutional guide — Jito and Figment as founding members; institutional participation in Solana ecosystem accelerating.
