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.

Part 2/3 — Competitors + Sentiment

f2pool competitors

stakefish competitors

Sentiment

f2pool

Positive — Stratum V2 WG membership remains the main topic. X search results are almost entirely about f2pool joining AntPool, Foundry, SpiderPool, and others in the Stratum V2 Working Group. Media framed it as seven major pools representing 75% of hashrate backing a decentralization upgrade. Sources: Coin Knowledge https://x.com/coinknowledge1/status/2054000989078970505; Stratum V2 follow-up https://x.com/StratumV2/status/2053904546615709831. No f2pool lawsuit / hack / scam / switch-from-f2pool negative content found.

stakefish

Neutral / watch — Cosmos voting incident still visible. Apr 24 criticism by POSTHUMAN_DVS and Cosmos Ecosystem said stakefish voted YES on Cosmos Hub proposal #1030, which the community identified as a scam proposal, and urged NoWithVeto. https://x.com/POSTHUMAN_DVS/status/2047425039939834224 stakefish has not publicly responded; latest stakefish post remains Apr 23 Multi-Chain Staking API/SDK. https://x.com/stakefish/status/2047050042607902770 No new stakefish SEC / down / scam negatives found.

OP_RETURN / spam monitoring

Summary: Bitcoin Knots 29.3 made RDTS/BIP-110 runnable software; the CSAM narrative continues; SpiderPool remains named in large OP_RETURN monitoring; BIP-110 supporters are using game-theory framing to argue adoption is the lower-risk path.


Part 3/3 — Key Companies

Public mining companies

Mining-company main line: CleanSpark has the strongest hard data today; MARA moved Starwood into execution but still has no AI tenant; Core Scientific is pushing dual 1.5 GW campuses with financing; Hut 8 keeps leading the AI-data-center narrative; Bitdeer awaits May 14 earnings; Riot and Bitmain remain quiet.
