TREE NEWS reports: CoinShares France managing director Benoît Pellevoizin said restrictions on new data center construction following the U.S. midterm elections could raise the value of existing bitcoin mining infrastructure, with companies holding paying AI tenants benefiting most. Public resistance tied to power prices, water consumption and Big Tech influence is raising barriers to new facilities, while existing mines already hold power contracts and grid connections.

TREE NEWS reports: Bitcoin could drop toward $65,000 if losses in AI and semiconductor stocks trigger broader portfolio liquidations, Hilbert Group CIO Russell Thompson warned. A break below the key trendline support at $71,900 would put $65,000 in focus, with limited technical support near the $70,000 psychological level. Bitcoin traded near $74,200, while spot bitcoin ETFs saw about $1.2 billion in net outflows last week and options demand for downside protection rose. Thompson expects the eventual rotation out of AI and tech stocks to support a crypto recovery.

TREE NEWS update: Strive Chief Investment Officer Ben Werkman said Bitcoin treasury companies rely on three main financing tools: equity issuance, credit instruments such as preferred stock and bonds, and share buybacks. They typically issue common stock to fund BTC purchases when the share price trades above the value of their Bitcoin holdings, and can use preferred stock or debt to avoid diluting existing shareholders. Werkman said buybacks can lift per-share value when shares are undervalued or the company holds excess cash, and that balancing all three approaches can enhance long-term shareholder value.
