Daily Monitoring Combined Report — 2026-05-12
Action Priorities
🔴 High priority / today’s catalysts
- MARA released its Q1 2026 shareholder letter today; the Starwood partnership is moving into execution and ~90% of non-hosted capacity is being evaluated for AI/IT hosting, but no AI tenant signing was reported.
- CleanSpark released FY2026 Q2 results today; revenue, power contracts, and approved ERCOT capacity provide the strongest hard data in the miner/HPC narrative.
- Core Scientific added a Pecos expansion path toward 1.5 GW, supported by recent $3.3B financing for data-center development.
- Bitcoin Knots 29.3 shipped with RDTS/BIP-110 support, moving RDTS from PR debate into runnable software and escalating the OP_RETURN/spam dispute.
🟡 Watch / may evolve
- Strategy bought another 535 BTC, opened STRC proxy voting, and has a retail investor Q&A scheduled for May 13.
- The stakefish Cosmos voting issue still appears on the first search results page with no public response; f2pool sentiment remains mainly positive around Stratum V2.
- SpiderPool was called out for 5 large OP_RETURN events in 7 days, with accelerating frequency.
- Tom Lee’s activity today was almost entirely Bitmine/ETH promotion; watch whether this becomes a sustained theme.
🟢 Lower priority / no urgent action
- Bitdeer’s Q1 call is due May 14; current updates are mainly events and earnings preview.
- Riot has been quiet for 7 days; Bitmain has been quiet for 14+ days.
- Lido, Jito, and ether.fi had product/governance updates but no urgent action item.
