According to Jin10, Canadian Prime Minister Carney's plan to build artificial intelligence infrastructure is facing local resistance, with communities opposing the expansion of server facilities. Ontario's Oakville and Alberta's Rocky View County have paused data center projects for one year, and Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew has also rejected a data center construction plan near Winnipeg. Residents said large data centers consume a lot of electricity, are noisy, and may push up power prices. The Carney government said data center construction would help strengthen Canada's digital sovereignty and on Thursday released a framework requiring projects to create long-term local benefits, reduce environmental impact, and avoid passing electricity costs on to residents. Amazon, Meta, and Anthropic have signed related principles. Canada currently has five operating large data centers, with another 159 projects announced or under construction.

Crypto’s August rally is testing corporate conviction across the digital asset market, with Bitcoin miners regaining momentum, Strategy and Strive adding more BTC to their treasuries, Bitmine moving closer to its Ether target and 21 major financial institutions advancing a stablecoin plan. The moves highlight how companies are responding differently to the latest recovery, with some increasing direct crypto exposure while others build payment-focused digital dollar products. According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin’s August rally lifted mining stocks sharply and renewed investor interest in companies with direct exposure to BTC, even as AI-linked infrastructure names showed mixed performance. BlocksBridge Consulting said Bitcoin’s roughly 23% rally in late August outpaced most AI-related stocks, while several miners with heavier AI and high-performance computing exposure were flat or lower. The newsletter attributed the move to expanded US Treasury liquidity-supporting buybacks, renewed regulatory optimism after a White House crypto meeting and a short squeeze that liquidated more than $1.6 billion in positions. The report also noted that the sector still faces risks tied to the high cost of building AI data-center capacity. Strive and Strategy also increased their Bitcoin holdings in the final week of August. Strive bought 1,800 BTC for approximately $143 million between Aug. 24 and Aug. 28, bringing its total to 23,156 BTC and making it the fifth-largest publicly traded corporate Bitcoin holder. The company said it paid an average of $79,431 per BTC, including fees and expenses, after purchasing 1,110 BTC the prior week at an average price of $73,409. Strategy resumed buying as well, acquiring 4,603 BTC at an average price of $80,318 and lifting its holdings above 845,000 BTC after four sales since May. The purchases came as the broader digital asset market recovered beginning Aug. 19, following the US Treasury’s announcement that it planned to double certain long-term bond buybacks. In traditional finance, a consortium of 21 major institutions, including Bank of America, Goldman Sachs and Citi, plans to create a new company to develop and issue stablecoins. The group intends to launch a US dollar-denominated stablecoin in the first half of 2027, then expand to other G7 currencies, starting with a euro offering. The stablecoin is aimed at wholesale, institutional and retail use for cross-border payments and digital asset settlement. The venture builds on an initiative announced last October by 10 banks exploring a 1:1 reserve-backed digital money model on public blockchains. The consortium now spans North America, Europe, East Asia, the Middle East and Africa, and says it plans to comply with both the US GENIUS Act and the EU’s MiCA regulation. Bitmine is also continuing its Ether accumulation, extending its buying streak to 65 consecutive weeks after adding 53,501 ETH last week. The purchase brought its holdings to more than 5.9 million ETH, giving it 4.9% of Ethereum’s 120.7 million circulating supply and putting it close to its stated 5% goal. Bitmine chairman Tom Lee said Ether, Bitcoin and Solana have been the three best-performing major assets since June 30, with ETH leading the gains. He said the performance could encourage institutions to add to their crypto holdings. Despite the accumulation, Bitmine is sitting on roughly $5.1 billion in unrealized losses on its Ether holdings, according to DropsTab data, reflecting buying through the downturn that began in late 2022.

Oxford lecturer Stefano Gogioso argued that portable long-term quantum memory will be the key hardware for quantum money and could also undermine Bitcoin (BTC). According to BeInCrypto, Gogioso said fault-tolerant quantum computers would require quantum memory, and that the same machine capable of attacking Bitcoin signatures could also power a new digital store of value. He added that quantum money remains theoretical because current lab systems keep quantum states alive only for seconds, while usable memory would need months or longer.

Micro1, an artificial intelligence startup, is trying to win control of a large trove of Spirit Aviation Holdings Inc.’s business records from Google LLC, according to Bloomberg. The effort centers on data tied to Spirit Aviation Holdings.

Catcher Predict monitoring showed sharp volatility in the Polymarket submarket for the U.S. Open ATP match between Alexander Bublik and Tommy Paul. According to ChainCatcher, the probability of the “over” option on first-set total games above 8.5 fell from 80.5% one hour earlier to 50%, a 30.5% swing.

Post-quantum infrastructure company QuFi Network has launched a verification platform designed to protect digital assets against future quantum computing threats without requiring changes to existing blockchain settlement networks. The platform separates verification from settlement, using a decentralized network of nodes to validate transactions with post-quantum cryptography before they are settled on existing blockchain networks. According to Cointelegraph, QuFi also launched uBTC, a proof-of-concept that applies the verification system to Bitcoin (BTC) and is currently operating on Bitcoin Testnet4. The uBTC system verifies BTC collateral and generates cryptographic proofs governing how value moves between settlement environments, while redemptions ultimately settle as standard Bitcoin transactions. The platform uses three post-quantum cryptographic standards — ML-DSA-65, SLH-DSA and ML-KEM-1024 — for digital signatures and secure key exchange. QuFi said the external verification layer is intended to avoid the added storage, bandwidth and computing demands that can come with adopting larger post-quantum signatures directly on individual blockchains. The launch comes amid a series of recent efforts to prepare blockchain networks for potential quantum computing threats. In August, StarkWare tested a quantum-resistant Bitcoin transaction on mainnet without requiring a fork. However, the transaction took hours of computation and cost roughly $150 to $200, and its nonstandard format required direct submission to a miner. The same month, banks and regulators across Europe, the Middle East and Asia joined a pilot testing post-quantum wallets and onchain transfers using ML-DSA-65, one of the same cryptographic standards incorporated into QuFi’s platform. Meanwhile, the Ethereum Foundation dropped the Poseidon hash function from its planned post-quantum architecture in favor of established alternatives such as SHA or BLAKE. Bitcoin developers are also exploring protocol-level defenses. In August, Blockstream researchers published a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal for SHRINCS, an experimental post-quantum signature scheme designed to reduce the size and performance costs associated with quantum-resistant signatures. The approach comes with trade-offs. SHRINCS uses stateful signatures to reduce their size, requiring wallets to track previously used signing keys. The scheme remains in an early stage without a completed security proof, and its design adds complexity and potential user failure modes.

According to Wallstreetcn, AI startup micro1 Inc. will pay $12.5 million for Spirit Aviation Inc.'s business records, including Microsoft team materials, emails, customer chats, operating data, and other internal information, after Spirit's advisers had nearly agreed to Google’s $10 million offer.

According to Wallstreetcn, U.S. Energy Secretary Wright said energy is the key driver for improving the situation in Venezuela, and that he was honored to witness the signing of multiple energy agreements that will replace past conflict with current and future economic and trade ties.
