BMO economist says AI stock sell-off could ease inflation pressure on the Fed

BMO Senior Economist Jennifer Lee said a decline in AI stocks could help the Federal Reserve in its fight against inflation by cooling investment tied to data center expansion. According to Lee, hyperscale cloud providers raised large amounts of financing to build data centers, a process that pushed interest rates higher and added to inflation pressure. If AI investment slows, that could reduce some of the burden on the Fed’s inflation campaign. For crypto markets, Lee said the AI-led sell-off cuts both ways. On one side, weaker sentiment around AI can weigh on digital assets through a broader drop in risk appetite. On the other, if interest rates move lower, Bitcoin and Ethereum may become relatively more attractive. The remarks were cited by Techub, which referenced BeInCrypto.

Metaplanet redeems ¥8 billion bond early and redirects the funds to Bitcoin purchases

Metaplanet said it used its own funds on Nov. 2 to fully redeem its 20th series of ordinary bonds issued to EVO FUND ahead of schedule. The principal amount was ¥8 billion, or about $50.64 million. The bond carried no interest and had originally been set to mature on April 23, 2027. After completing the early redemption, the Japanese Bitcoin treasury company said it would reallocate roughly ¥8 billion from the proceeds of its 27th series of stock acquisition rights, funds that had previously been earmarked for bond repayment, back to Bitcoin purchases. Following the change, the amount from that fundraising round designated for Bitcoin buying increased from about ¥25.422 billion, or roughly $161 million, to about ¥33.422 billion, or roughly $212 million. Another ¥3.714 billion, or about $23.51 million, remains allocated to its Bitcoin income business.

Powerchip Investment Holding files complaint over alleged NT$13.6 billion share-buying plan

Powerchip Innovation Investment Holding said on Nov. 2 that it had filed a complaint with the Taipei District Prosecutors Office over an alleged effort to gather minority shareholders and transfer their shares to an unidentified buyer without following tender offer rules. The company said the plan aimed to acquire a 20% stake at NT$50 per share, for a total value of more than NT$13.6 billion. According to the company, the organizers used LINE groups and Google Forms to solicit shareholders and sent out pre-stamped share purchase agreements, encouraging small investors to pool their holdings until they reached what was described as a threshold for influence over corporate control. Powerchip’s legal counsel said a large-scale purchase from an unspecified group of shareholders should have been reported and publicly disclosed as a tender offer, including the offer price, number of shares, and source of funds. The company also asked regulators to examine whether the money involved could be linked to money laundering or offshore capital. Powerchip is scheduled to hold an extraordinary shareholders meeting on Nov. 25 to elect seven directors and three supervisors, after founder Huang Chong-ren died on July 31.
