Travala2026-10-22 12:01:23Travala launches AVA buyback multiplier, with total repurchases reaching up to 4x member rewardsBlockchain travel platform Travala has introduced an AVA Buyback Multiplier tied to the amount of monthly AVA cashback distributed to AVA Smart members. Under the mechanism, Travala adjusts its matching buyback ratio based on reward thresholds. If monthly member rewards reach $100,000, $150,000, $200,000, and $250,000, Travala’s matching multiplier rises to 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x, and 3x, respectively. At the top tier, the combined repurchase amount from the foundation and Travala can reach as much as 4x the member reward amount. If rewards stay below $100,000, Travala’s matching buyback remains at 1x. The company said the foundation repurchases the AVA distributed to members in the previous month, while Travala conducts an additional buyback based on the applicable multiplier. Tokens acquired through the program are permanently locked in the AVA Strategic Reserve multisig wallet and will not be sold or transferred. As of the announcement, the AVA Foundation had cumulatively repurchased 5,423,181 AVA, while the strategic reserve held 598,458.78 AVA after the two most recent matching buybacks.100
Capital B2026-10-16 02:57:09Capital B posts €69.5 million first-half net loss on Bitcoin impairmentBitcoin treasury company Capital B reported its results for the first half of 2026, showing revenue of €5.846 million, up 3.5% year over year, and a net loss of about €69.5 million, compared with a net loss of roughly €1.9 million in the same period last year. The company said the loss was mainly driven by an additional Bitcoin impairment charge of about €67.5 million, calculated using the BTC price as of June 30, and that the charge had no cash impact. As of Sept. 30, Capital B held 3,538 BTC in its strategic reserve, up 25.3% from January. The total acquisition cost of that reserve was €310.6 million, or an average of €87,805 per BTC. The company also confirmed that its strategic reserve remained at 3,538 BTC as of Oct. 15. In addition, it held 61 BTC for operations, which were excluded from strategic reserve metrics. Capital B said it announced about €27.5 million in financing during the first half, followed by another roughly €31.7 million in financing from the end of the half through the date of the announcement. As of Sept. 30, available cash stood at €4.6 million, rising to about €9.1 million when operational BTC was included.510

Bitcoin2026-09-27 06:17:27Capital B CEO says Bitcoin is the only asset the U.S. government does not want to sellCapital B CEO Alexandre Laizet said in an interview at BTCPrague that the company plans to keep buying Bitcoin in the fastest and most value-accretive way possible, then hold it for the long term. He said financial institutions and companies around the world are accelerating their adoption of Bitcoin, and added that the U.S. government has designated the Bitcoin held in its strategic reserve as an asset that will not be sold. Laizet also argued that because most global capital can only gain exposure through securities markets, listed companies are in a position to expand their Bitcoin holdings through equity and debt financing. In his view, that gives public companies a route to take part in the development of digital capital markets. The interview remarks were shared in a Techub News item and reposted by @WuBlockchain.570
Travala2026-09-25 12:36:28Travala sets up permanent AVA reserve and doubles monthly buybacksCrypto travel platform Travala said it has created a permanent strategic reserve for its native token, AVA, and will match the AVA Foundation’s existing monthly open-market buyback program, doubling the total amount purchased each month. In the first cycle, the two sides bought about 739,800 AVA combined. Travala said the tokens placed in its reserve will be held permanently and will not be sold or transferred. The update was cited by Techub News, with Bitcoinist named as the source in the brief. The announcement centers on two points: a standing reserve structure for AVA and a larger recurring buyback commitment through matched monthly purchases.600
Bitcoin2026-09-21 03:35:32House committee advances Bitcoin reserve bill with proposed 20-year holding ruleThe U.S. House Financial Services Committee on Sept. 16 approved an amended version of H.R. 8957, the Reserve Modernization Act, by a 28-21 vote. The bill would place a U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve and a broader digital asset reserve program into federal law. Under the proposal, any Bitcoin lawfully held by the federal government and not designated for another statutory purpose would have to be retained for at least 20 years from the date the law takes effect. During that period, the government would be barred from selling, exchanging, auctioning, pledging, or otherwise disposing of those holdings. The measure has not yet become law and still needs approval from both the House and the Senate, followed by President Donald Trump’s signature. The bill also directs the Treasury Department to establish the reserve within 180 days of enactment and publish an annual proof-of-reserve report covering holdings, transactions, and private key control. In addition, the Treasury and Commerce departments would study lawful, budget-neutral ways to increase Bitcoin holdings, though the provision does not authorize direct purchases.600
Cronos Labs2026-09-19 04:32:19Cronos Labs proposes using all product revenue to buy back and burn CROCronos Labs has opened a governance proposal on GitHub that would direct 100% of product revenue from Ult and Cronos Launch to buying back CRO on the open market and burning the tokens. The plan calls for monthly on-chain buybacks and burns, with every transaction hash made public to create a direct link between product revenue, CRO repurchases, and supply reduction. The proposal would replace an earlier revenue allocation model under the previously approved “New CRO Era” plan, which had split product revenue across staking yield, growth and user acquisition, buybacks and burns, and R&D and operations. Under the new proposal, operating, infrastructure, and growth costs would instead be covered by existing funds. Cronos Labs also said it plans to use its strategic reserve to support future Cronos POS staking rewards as CRO inflation emissions decline under the prior framework. The proposal says current reward parameters would be maintained, while staking methods, lock-up periods, and the reward structure would stay unchanged. The measure is still in the discussion stage and would later move to an on-chain governance vote. Voting would last 14 days, with a quorum of 33.4% of staked CRO and approval requiring more than 50% of non-abstaining votes.1150
