Jiang Zhuoer, founder of Leibit Mining Pool, said on X that his trading is better suited to buying dips and selling tops. According to Odaily, he said his short positions near $2,525 for ETH and $82,050 for BTC were relatively accurate, but he could not continue adding leveraged long positions when the market fell to lows because his base holdings were fully in ETH spot. Jiang said he will consider using smaller-cap tokens for future dip-buying trades and will take positions of 5% to 10% each time. He cited BNC as an example, saying he bought near $4.5 on September 10, close to the low of that decline, and the price then continued to rise.

AMC CEO Adam Aron again criticized Robinhood's stock token business and raised questions for Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev and Chief Legal Officer Dan Gallagher. Foresight News posted on X (formerly Twitter). Aron said stock tokens run counter to the basic idea of stock ownership. He also questioned why Robinhood continues to promote stock tokens heavily on its U.S. website if it cannot offer the products to U.S. users. He further asked whether stock tokens could lead buyers to believe they have the same rights as actual shareholders, and whether Robinhood's 1:1 stock backing mechanism is valid if some of the underlying shares used to support the tokens are lent to short sellers. Aron also criticized Robinhood for conducting the business through a Jersey entity and said that while Robinhood may view stock tokens as innovation, he believes they would only bring the company shame.

Strategy has published a Bitcoin Investor Guide written by its team, with a revision date of September 7, 2026 and market data current as of September 4. According to ChainCatcher, the guide is aimed at professional investors, private investors, bankers, advisers, and capital allocators, and outlines Bitcoin's monetary properties, investment case, market structure, portfolio role, custody methods, and risks. The guide argues that Bitcoin is no longer only a speculative asset and is becoming a foundation for a new digital capital market. It describes Bitcoin as a scarce, open, global reserve asset whose long-term case rests on scarcity, open access, global liquidity, and independent verification, while potentially absorbing some of the monetary premium now attached to gold, real estate, stocks, bonds, and art. As of September 4, 2026, the guide cites Bitcoin at about $79,809, with the 200-week moving average at about $64,715, a premium of about 23.3%. It also lists a 1-year return of about -28.3%, a 10-year annualized return of about 62.8%, 30-day average trading volume of about $28.3 billion, open interest of about $96 billion, spot ETF holdings of about 1.27 million BTC, and network hash rate of about 935 EH/s. The document says Bitcoin has a maximum supply of 21 million coins, no issuer, no maturity date, and no contractual cash flow, with value driven mainly by scarcity and the monetary premium assigned by the market. It notes that institutional access improved significantly after the U.S. SEC approved spot Bitcoin ETPs in January 2024, while futures, options, and custody infrastructure continued to mature. The guide also warns that Bitcoin is highly volatile, carries no repayment promise, and can fall sharply; self-custody, third-party custody, ETPs, corporate securities, and derivatives each involve different legal, operational, and counterparty risks. It adds that transactions are irreversible and lost keys can cause permanent loss, and says Strategy's large Bitcoin holdings create an interest link to Bitcoin's price.
