    Strategy leaves preferred STRC dividend at 12% as price still below par

    Strategy’s preferred STRC shares ended July below their $100 par value, and the August dividend will remain at 12%, with no increase from July, which had already seen a dividend hike to 12% after a poor performance in June. The shares closed at $89.46 on Friday, up 5.42% for the month, and continued to trade significantly below par. Strategy’s executive chairman, Michael Saylor, indicated that management’s goal is for STRC to trade at $99-$100 over time, but did not specify when this might happen. The company has built a cash reserve of $3.75 billion to support preferred dividends and has been repurchasing its preferred shares at a discount while they remain below $100.

    BNB Chain pursues legal action after ex-employee’s memecoin launch

    BNB Chain announced it is pursuing legal action after a former employee allegedly used unauthorized access to a wallet created for a tutorial to launch a memecoin called Asteroid Shiba (ASTEROID), which the company did not endorse. Lookonchain reported that the individual deployed the token using four wallets, acquiring a significant portion of the supply and later selling most of the tokens for approximately $638,000 in BNB. BNB Chain clarified that it did not create, approve, or control the token or the wallet involved. Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao characterized the ex-employee as "basically a scammer" and warned users to remain cautious.

    Coldcard Hack Expands as Bitcoin Losses Reach $88.6M

    The suspected Coldcard hack has led to a surge in small Bitcoin transfers, reaching 39,600 BTC in a day, the highest since November 2022, according to CryptoQuant. The ongoing incident has resulted in estimated losses of about 1,367 BTC ($88.6 million) across 4,585 addresses, with researchers identifying new victims and urging affected users to move their funds. The event has reignited debates over the safety of Bitcoin self-custody, with some experts arguing that self-custody has a built-in reaction time and that most Bitcoin remains protected. Meanwhile, others compare the risks of self-custody with the safety and convenience offered by Bitcoin ETFs, suggesting the incident reflects issues with a specific wallet provider rather than self-custody as a whole.

    Onchain, in court: What happened in crypto legal news this week

    The legal developments in cryptocurrency this week include a motion filed by Michelle Bond, wife of former FTX executive Ryan Salame, to exclude evidence related to Salame’s guilty plea, arguing it has minimal probative value and could cause unfair prejudice. A separate case involves George Santos, a former Congressman, who was ordered by the CFTC to pay over $35,000 for trading prediction market contracts on Kalshi based on material misrepresentations about his whereabouts, and he is barred from trading on prediction markets for three years. Additionally, US soldier Gannon Ken Van Dyke faces charges for allegedly using insider information in betting on Polymarket during a military operation involving Venezuela’s President Maduro; his legal team has filed a motion to dismiss parts of the indictment, citing ambiguity in the legal classification of event contracts. These cases highlight ongoing legal proceedings related to crypto and prediction markets, with potential implications for regulation and enforcement.

    Minnesota crypto ATM ban goes into effect after reported $1M losses

    Minnesota's law banning virtual currency kiosks took effect on Saturday, following the signing of bill SF 3868 by Governor Tim Walz in May. The law prohibits all crypto ATM operators from installing, operating, maintaining, or making accessible any virtual currency kiosks in the state, requiring existing machines to be deactivated by Saturday and removed by December 31. Officials reported that residents, predominantly senior citizens, lost approximately $1 million to crypto scam schemes associated with these kiosks from 2023 to 2025, with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center reporting over $151 million in losses related to digital assets in 2025. The measures are part of broader efforts in the US to address fraud related to digital assets and crypto kiosks.

    Crypto PAC pours another $1M into Michigan House race

    An affiliate of the Protect Progress PAC, funded largely by contributions from Ripple Labs and Coinbase, has spent over $2 million on ads supporting Michigan Representative Shri Thanedar in the state's 13th congressional district primary race. The PAC's spending, which includes approximately $884,240 to support Thanedar and more than $150,000 to oppose his Democratic challenger Donavan McKinney, has effectively doubled in the past week, according to FEC filings. Thanedar has previously supported crypto-related legislation, including the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act, and co-sponsored the Promoting Innovation in Blockchain Development Act. The PAC's spending is part of a broader effort by Fairshake and its affiliates to influence election outcomes in favor of crypto industry-aligned policies, with reports indicating they have spent over $82 million from the roughly $189 million spent by crypto companies in the 2026 election cycle.
