Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) has reportedly finalized a sweeping plan to reclassify 105 cryptocurrencies — including bitcoin — as financial products under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, marking one of the country’s most significant regulatory shifts since the Mt. Gox era.

According to outlet Asahi, the move would subject these 105 assets to the same disclosure, reporting, and market surveillance standards used in Japan’s traditional securities markets. 

Exchanges listing the assets would have to publish detailed information on each token, including whether it has an issuer, the underlying blockchain architecture, and the level of price…

Michael Saylor’s company Strategy (MSTR) has shocked crypto markets with a major return to large-scale bitcoin accumulation. The firm purchased 8,178 BTC last week for $835.6 million, paying an average of $102,171 per coin. This marks the company’s biggest buy in months after a long stretch of smaller, incremental additions.
Most of the purchase was powered by Strategy’s newly issued preferred offering, STRE, known as Steam, which drew strong interest from European investors and raised roughly $715 million earlier this month. An additional $131.4 million came from its STRC, or Stretch, preferred series, according to a Monday filing.
Strategy now holds 649,870 BTC worth $48.37 billion at an average cost of $74,433 each. The company had avoided large common-share offerings recently due to a steep 56% drop in its stock price over the past four months. This latest move signals renewed confidence from Saylor’s team and brings fresh momentum to the pro-crypto narrative.

When it comes to pensions and retirement, we have a clear pensions adequacy issue in much of the world given that the population is living longer and many individuals have inadequate savings for a comfortable retirement. Bitcoin fixes this – in part – by offering a form of savings which can’t be debased and should hold its value into the long term. Lowering our collective time preference as a society also wouldn’t hurt, as we’d prioritise our later years more than we do so at present.

It’s sometimes remarked though that Bitcoin doesn’t solve all the problems in the world, only half of them, and there is one huge aspect Bitcoin cannot help with in terms of retirement…

Harvard University is making headlines after dramatically boosting its Bitcoin exposure through spot ETFs, signaling growing confidence in digital assets. New SEC filings show the university now holds over 6.8 million shares of BlackRock’s IBIT, worth about $442.8 million, marking a sharp 257% jump from the previous quarter. The move positions Harvard among the largest institutional holders of Bitcoin ETFs and reflects a strong vote of confidence in crypto’s long-term potential.

Harvard also expanded its alternative-asset strategy by nearly doubling its gold holdings through the GLD ETF, now valued at $235 million. Market analysts see these parallel investments as a strategic hedge amid ongoing monetary policy uncertainty. The shift is especially notable for an endowment long known for its conservative approach and carries weight due to Harvard’s global influence in institutional finance.

Bitcoin ETFs continue to attract massive inflows, with BlackRock’s IBIT leading the sector and surpassing $19.4 billion in assets. Other institutions, including Brown University, are following suit, underscoring accelerating adoption of crypto across traditional finance.
