MicroStrategy (MSTR),a software developer that has become a corporate bitcoin (BTC) vault, plans to sell up to $500 million of stock to fund more purchases of the cryptocurrency.
A Friday filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission revealed the stock offering, which will be for “general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of bitcoin.”
"We may use the net proceeds from this offering to purchase additional Bitcoin," the company said in the filing.

"Future fluctuations in Bitcoin trading prices may result in our converting Bitcoin purchased with the net proceeds from this offering into cash with a value substantially below the net proceeds from this offering," the company said.

📣 Ethereum could face SEC scrutiny after The Merge.
Ethereum’s shift from proof of work to proof of stake may cause the Securities and Exchange Commission to take a closer look at regulating the cryptocurrency as a security, Chair Gary Gensler hinted on Thursday.
Gensler’s comments came hours after Ethereum’s big shift, known as The Merge, took place. The SEC chair mentioned the Howey test, a tool regulators use to determine whether an asset is a security, when he spoke with reporters after a Senate hearing.
“From the coin’s perspective…that’s another indicia that under the Howey test, the investing public is anticipating profits based on the efforts of others,” Gensler said, according to The Wall Street Journal. He noted he was not referring to a specific cryptocurrency.

BTC UPDATE:- BTC is trading and consolidating inside a huge triangle in the daily time frame. Holding the lower trendline support which is at around $18k level perfectly so far. As long as BTC holds this support we can expect a pump up to to above trendline of the triangle which is at around $21k level.
For a good upside rally, BTC needs to break and close above the upper trendline of this triangle. Meanwhile, any daily close below $18k level might create more panic in the market.
According to our experts opinion, there is no need to be panic until and unless BTC gives daily close below $18k level. We might see a good bullish rally in the month of October.

Bitcoin and Gold Contenders to Outperform as Fiat Currencies Devalue
According to Bloomberg Intelligence, the outlook for the rest of the decade favors assets such as Bitcoin and gold. Strategists compared the two to the rest of the commodity market as the end is in sight for the Federal Reserve’s aggressive tightening. Assets such as Bitcoin and gold could be the beneficiaries according to analysts.
A cost of living crisis means that all but the very wealthy have less money to spend on investments such as crypto or gold. However, when the world finally emerges from this recession, they could be the go-to investments. The more volatile BTC has lost 57% since the beginning of the year, but gold is also down 11% in the same period. Zooming out to a longer-term two-year picture shows that BTC is up 87% whereas gold has lost almost 13%. Another factor to consider is the current currency conundrum as fiat currencies lose their value.
