Strategy ($MSTR) faced pressure from falling estimates and has been identified as one of the worst-performing stocks on the Nasdaq-100 in 2026. The company, which holds 843,775 BTC as of July 28, has paused Bitcoin purchases for five weeks while accumulating $3.75 billion in cash. Executive chairman Michael Saylor stated on July 28 that "Bitcoin has won. Now it must survive victory," and argued that Bitcoin code changes represent attacks on "economic rights." Coinbase ($COIN) settled a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, with the agency agreeing to pay $150,000 and fix its record-retention policies after losing text messages between former Chair Gary Gensler and other officials. CEO Brian Armstrong outlined how AI and cryptocurrency could work together to enable autonomous transactions and warned the U.S. Senate that China is investing heavily in crypto infrastructure.
