Liquid2026-10-27 20:45:58Liquid reserve gap narrows to 600 BTC after test transferLiquid Reserve’s funding shortfall has narrowed to 600 BTC after a test transfer, according to the latest update cited by The Defiant. Samson Mow said the remaining funds are expected to arrive in the coming days, pointing to continued progress in the reserve recovery process. The update indicates that the gap has not yet been fully closed, but the outstanding amount is now limited to 600 BTC. The report also said the federation’s recovery plan sets a clear condition before direct peg-outs can restart. Full backing must be restored first. Until that requirement is met, direct peg-outs will not resume under the plan described in the update. The latest transfer was presented as a test, while the remaining balance is still pending.20
Bitcoin2026-10-21 13:43:51Samson Mow says MSTR and Bitcoin treasury firms are massively undervaluedBitcoin Magazine has published a video segment featuring JAN3 CEO Samson Mow, who argued that many Bitcoin treasury companies are trading well below what he sees as their value, with Strategy (MSTR) standing out in particular. In the discussion, Mow described treasury firms as Bitcoin’s buyer of last resort because they keep accumulating regardless of market conditions, a pattern he said can create a self-reinforcing cycle over time. He also said the best moment to launch a Bitcoin treasury company or a Bitcoin bond is when Bitcoin’s price is low, and added that sovereign interest in Bitcoin is feeding a global race for a finite asset. The episode covered a wider set of topics as well, including whether Bitcoin’s four-year cycle is over, what could spark the next major rally, why AI companies may adopt Bitcoin strategies, why nation-state adoption has slowed, how Aqua Wallet users find Bitcoin through stablecoins, the idea of saving in Bitcoin while spending in stablecoins, and whether quantum computing poses a real threat to the network.

Liquid2026-09-15 12:36:17Samson Mow says Blockstream may offer a bounty if remaining Liquid funds are returnedBitcoin News said in a post on X that Samson Mow commented on the handling of stolen funds tied to Liquid. According to Mow, Blockstream has refused to pay a ransom, though he did not rule out the possibility of offering a bounty if the hacker returns the remaining stolen assets. Mow said the funds belong to Liquid users, which means Blockstream cannot negotiate over that money. He added that any bounty, if offered, would need to be structured as a separate and reasonable arrangement rather than as part of ransom talks. The remarks frame Blockstream’s position as a refusal to negotiate directly over user-owned assets while leaving open a distinct path tied to the return of the remaining funds.1170
Samson Mow2026-09-10 12:48:50Samson Mow warns alleged Liquid attacker, says all user assets must be returned in fullSamson Mow warned the alleged attacker involved in the Liquid incident, saying the person may have left more traces than expected, according to monitoring cited by Bitcoin News. Mow said 「正义之网广泛且无法逃脱,不会放过任何人。」, which translates to a warning that justice is wide-reaching and inescapable. He also challenged the attacker’s reported demand to return bitcoin in exchange for a bounty, questioning whether it was wise to publicly admit taking bitcoin and then ask for a reward. Mow added that roughly $5 billion in Liquid-related assets, including L-BTC, Tether and real-world assets, belong to their respective issuers and holders, so they should not be used as the basis for calculating any bounty. He said that regardless of whatever else may be negotiated, all user assets must be returned in full.1180
