You gotta admit, the pure-play Bitcoin Treasury business seems like a lazy grift. There is zero benefit to stakeholders over self-hodl, risk adjusted. Any market premium to stack value is a fleeting arbitrage based on narrative, there's no long term play. Management / administration is rent seeking / offering zero stakeholder value, these companies should really be managed by bots for free. The stakeholders are surveilled and tax farmed at best, at worst they are going to get fractioned due to mismanagement of the coins.

Hello all, On Friday I got news that I am to be transferred to a new institution. I will no longer be an inmate at FPC Morgantown. I am a little disappointed because this is a nice place (for a prison) and my wife can visit easily. For security reasons they do not tell you where you are going but I am hopeful that it won't be too far from home. I was told to be ready to "pack out" on Monday or Tuesday - it is very likely I will be leaving on Wednesday - so I spent the weekend getting ready to leave. It is amazing how much stuff you accrue in such a short period of time, it has been nearly 6 months since I arrived here. I expect they will call me down to "R&D" (receiving and discharge) where they will inspect my belongings to make sure there is no contraband and I am not taking anything unauthorized and pack them away in a box or two that they will ship to my new institution. As for "shipping" me, it is very likely that I will be flown out to the central transit prison hub in Oklahoma before I am then flown onward to wherever they are putting me. Yes, Con-air is a real thing. Needless to say going through transit (Oklahoma) is a real nightmare. You can be stuck there from 1 day to several weeks, you're around all kinds of prisoners of all different security levels. No one looks forward to Oklahoma - myself included. There is the slightest possibility of avoiding the transit nightmare. On Friday after I got word I submitted a formal request (a "cop out" in BOP lingo) to the CMC (case manager coordinator) here at the institution. I requested that they allow me to perform what is called a 'transfer furlough' which means instead of the BOP spending upwards of $10,000 to fly me across the country several times my wife can come pick me up and drop me off at my new location at my own cost. Transfer furloughs are rare of course, but the CMC didn't reject it outright, he promised to take it up the chain of command and let me know. So while I am not expecting it, there is the slightest glimmer of possibility that they allow it. Considering that I have had no incident reports, that i self surrendered, that I had no issue on pre-trial supervision for nearly 2 years, etc, all makes a compelling case that I can be trusted to self transfer. So here is to hoping for the best. I will let you know where I will be once I know where I will be. All the best, Keonne

Today, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts @KHancock4TX announced the members of the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Advisory Committee, established under SB 21, which was signed into law in June 2025. We are proud to congratulate two TBC member companies whose representatives were appointed to the committee: @CormintInc , Inc., represented by Founder and CEO @jamesmcavity . Cormint is a leading Texas Bitcoin miner and one of the world's most efficient producers. Jamie brings deep expertise in Bitcoin mining, energy-optimized infrastructure, and Texas energy markets. Cormint's Fort Stockton facility consistently ranks among the most efficient mining operations in the world. @CleanSpark_Inc represented by President and CFO @GaryVec , CPA. CleanSpark is a TBC member company with an institutional-grade Digital Asset Management program that Gary built from the ground up. He brings more than 20 years of senior finance and public company leadership to this role. A bit of background on what this committee does: SB 21 established the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, a special fund outside the state treasury that authorizes the Comptroller to invest in Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and economic volatility. Texas was the first state to commit public funds to a dedicated Bitcoin holding structure. The five-member Advisory Committee advises the Comptroller on asset valuation, investment policy, and reserve management. It shapes how Texas approaches Bitcoin as a long-term state financial asset. Two of the three cryptocurrency expert seats on the committee went to representatives of TBC member companies. Congratulations to Cormint, CleanSpark, Jamie, and Gary. Texas is building its Bitcoin future, and our members are helping lead the way. Read the Acting Comptroller's full announcement: comptroller.texas.gov/about/…
