🇫🇷 CAPITAL B CONFIRMS 376 BTC PURCHASE

The Bitcoin treasury expansion we covered last week is now complete.

French-listed Capital B has confirmed the acquisition of 376 BTC for €25.3 million.

The purchase increases its Bitcoin treasury from:
3,145 BTC → 3,521 BTC

Capital B says the newly acquired coins were bought at an average price of €67,182 per BTC.

Its total Bitcoin treasury has now cost approximately €309.4M to build.

Last week, the 376 BTC acquisition was only a potential use of newly raised capital.

Today, the company officially confirmed the Bitcoin is acquired.

📅 BITCOIN’S NEXT MACRO TESTS ARE ALREADY ON THE CALENDAR

Friday’s U.S. jobs report changed the macro setup.
The economy added 162,000 jobs in August versus just 56,000 expected, strengthening the case for tighter monetary policy.

Now attention moves to inflation.

Key dates:
📊 Sept. 10 — U.S. Producer Price Index
🔥 Sept. 11 — U.S. Consumer Price Index
🏦 Sept. 15–16 — Federal Reserve meeting

For Bitcoin, the logic is straightforward:
Hotter inflation strengthens the argument for higher rates.
Softer inflation reduces that pressure.

After last week’s strong employment surprise, these inflation readings have become especially important for BTC and broader risk markets.

🏦 STRIVE LINES UP ANOTHER 1,100+ BTC BUY

Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin treasury company Strive is preparing to acquire more than 1,100 BTC today, according to CEO Matt Cole.

Strive entered September holding 23,156 BTC after adding 1,800 BTC during the final week of August.

The new purchase is expected to be funded through sales of its SATA preferred stock rather than new debt.

If completed as announced, Strive’s treasury would move above 24,000 BTC.

The bigger story: corporate Bitcoin accumulation is continuing even after BTC’s sharp rebound from its summer lows.

🐋 600 BTC FROM 2010 MOVES AFTER 16 YEARS

One of Bitcoin’s earliest miners has moved 600 BTC that had remained untouched since March 2010.

The coins came from 12 separate mining rewards of 50 BTC each — back when Bitcoin’s block subsidy was 50 BTC and the network was still largely mined with CPUs.

All 600 BTC were moved into newer Bitcoin addresses.

Importantly, the available on-chain evidence does NOT show the coins being sent to a known exchange.

FACT:
600 BTC from 2010 moved.

INTERPRETATION:
That does not prove the holder intends to sell.

A rare glimpse of Bitcoin supply that had been dormant since before BTC even had an established market price.

⛏ BITCOIN MINING DIFFICULTY RISES AGAIN

Bitcoin’s mining difficulty increased 1.31% at the latest adjustment, reaching 127.45 trillion.

It was the network’s eighth upward difficulty adjustment of 2026.

The adjustment happened automatically at block 965,664 after miners produced the previous 2,016 blocks slightly faster than Bitcoin’s 10-minute target.

Why it matters:

Higher difficulty means miners collectively have to perform more computational work to find the next block.

It is not a price prediction — but it is a useful measure of how much mining competition and computing power Bitcoin’s network is absorbing.

The protocol adjusted exactly as designed.
