Svmuu News: NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang engaged in a wide-ranging and in-depth discussion with AXIOS co-founder Mike Allen on the current state of artificial intelligence. Huang noted that although the chip industry has long been subject to cycles of boom and bust, “this time is different.”Even considering the chip industry’s historically highly cyclical fluctuations (as shown in the figure), the current boom still has room to grow.
When asked whether the industry is on the verge of a downturn, Huang replied, “No, that won’t happen for some time.This time is different because it is not demand-driven.” Huang Renxun further explained that the current AI boom is not driven by consumer demand, which has long been the industry’s primary driver. The current AI boom is industry-driven, meaning that the core technology of computers is undergoing a transformation.We need to establish an entirely new layer of infrastructure on a global scale. We already have energy, the internet, roads, and railways; now we need to build an “intelligence layer”—that is, an additional layer of infrastructure on top of these foundations. And this layer of infrastructure relies on chips. I believe our semiconductor industry may need to be five to ten times larger than it is now… The industry is currently too small.Everything is in extreme short supply because this is not a cyclical issue, nor is it driven by consumer demand; rather, it stems from fundamental, infrastructure-related factors. Consequently, the entire industry is facing shortages. I believe we must scale up this industry several-fold. (Jin Shi)

Svmuu News: The AI Standards and Innovation Center, under the U.S. Department of Commerce, in collaboration with the UK’s AI Safety Institute, conducted tests on the Kimi K3’s cyberattack capabilities and emphasized that “the U.S. remains in the lead.”
However, the validity of this assessment is disputed due to limitations in the scope of testing. Because of constraints in the hosting environment, Kimi K3 participated in only a portion of the tests; its overall cyber capabilities were estimated primarily based on 41 exploit benchmarks, whereas other models underwent more comprehensive testing, resulting in a wider margin of error for Kimi K3’s results.
In the exploit testing, Kimi K3 scored approximately 32%, higher than GLM-5.2’s 24%, but lower than the average of about 76% achieved by leading U.S. models. In simulated attack chain tests, Kimi K3 completed an average of 17 out of 32 steps in an attack chain and successfully breached the network once out of 10 attempts, while leading U.S. models completed an average of 28.5 steps.
The report notes that Kimi K3 has demonstrated a certain degree of autonomous attack capability, and its security safeguards did not prevent the model from developing vulnerabilities or executing attacks. However, the report also emphasizes that the scope of the testing was limited.

Svmuu News: With the sharp correction in the price of Bitcoin, publicly traded companies that had heavily stockpiled BTC are now facing multiple challenges, including falling stock prices, debt pressures, and a deteriorating financing environment. Some companies have begun selling Bitcoin to repay debts or are even shifting their focus to artificial intelligence (AI) data center operations.
Strategy was the first to introduce the “Digital Asset Treasury (DAT)” model, using financing and borrowing to continuously purchase Bitcoin, prompting a number of publicly traded companies to follow suit.However, as the price of BTC has retreated from the high of approximately $126,000 reached in October 2025—a cumulative decline of about 50%—the stock prices of these companies have also plummeted, forcing them to reassess their Bitcoin hoarding strategies.
This week, shareholders of the London-listed company Satsuma Technology approved the liquidation of all 668 BTC and the return of capital, while also proceeding with delisting. Another London-listed company, The Smarter Web Company, sold 178 BTC to repay convertible debt.
Additionally, Sequans Communications has sold 1,025 BTC and will sell nearly 80% of its remaining holdings to repay convertible bonds. The company stated it will not continue purchasing "Bitcoin" in the future and plans to sell its remaining approximately 658 BTC.
Since its SPAC listing in May 2025, Nakamoto’s stock price has fallen by approximately 99% in total. The company recently sold about 284 BTC, raising approximately $20 million for working capital.Of the company’s remaining approximately 5,342 BTC, nearly 70% has been used as collateral for Kraken loans, leading market observers to believe it faces potential risk events.
Meanwhile, Bitcoins mining firms have also begun adjusting their strategies. Companies such as Bitdeer Technologies and MARA Holdings are selling portions of their BTC holdings to repurchase shares, repay debt, and redirect energy resources and computing power infrastructure toward AI data center operations.
Other companies selling BTC include Empery Digital and others. Data shows that Strategy has recently sold approximately 3,620 BTC and authorized further asset sales to maintain its U.S. dollar reserves.
However, Strategy remains the world’s largest publicly traded holder of Bitcoin, with a position exceeding 840,000 BTC. The company’s CEO, Michael Saylor, stated that it may sell a portion of its Bitcoin holdings in the future to pay dividends, but this does not mean the company is exiting its investment in Bitcoin.
In addition to asset adjustments, changes have also occurred in the management and capital operations of some Bitcoin treasury companies. Jack Mallers has stepped down as CEO; Adam Back’s Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR) also failed to complete its proposed merger due to deteriorating market conditions.
Analysts believe that as financing costs rise and BTC price volatility intensifies, the “borrow to buy” treasury model is undergoing a shakeup, with some companies shifting from simply hoarding Bitcoin to AI infrastructure and business transformations that generate stronger cash flow. (CoinDesk)
