first_img Bank of New York Mellon increased its stake in Strive by 28%, raising its holdings to 6.97 million USD

According to Bitcoin Magazine, as disclosed in the 13F filing submitted on November 5, Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon) increased its holdings in Bitcoin treasury company Strive (ASST) by 28% in the third quarter, bringing the total to 237,100 shares, valued at $6.97 million based on the price as of September 30.Compared to the 185,556 shares disclosed on June 30, this increase of 51,544 shares had a market value of approximately $2.02 million at that time. The increase in market value was mainly due to the stock price: the implied ASST price in the two filings rose from $10.91 on June 30 to $29.41 on September 30, resulting in a more than doubling of the disclosed market value alongside a 28% increase in the number of shares held.The 13F is a snapshot at a point in time rather than a trading record. Bank of New York Mellon submitted a consolidated report covering group-level holdings, so Strive's position may include client, fund, and discretionary accounts, rather than a single proprietary bet, and the bank may have adjusted its holdings after September 30.As of September 30, the bank's assets under custody and administration amounted to $63.4 trillion, with managed assets totaling $2.2 trillion. In the same report, its Bitcoin-related positions also included 1,056,230 shares of Strategy (MSTR), valued at $161.7 million, and 162,072 shares of BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), valued at $7.67 million, the latter nearly doubling from 85,282 shares as of June 30.According to regulations, institutions with investment decision-making authority over securities exceeding $100 million must disclose their holdings within 45 days after the end of the quarter, with this quarter's window extending to November 16 due to November 14 falling on a Saturday.JPMorgan submitted its third-quarter 13F this Thursday, while Wells Fargo, Millennium Management, and Schonfeld Strategic Advisors had not yet appeared in the SEC's EDGAR system as of Thursday morning.Among the disclosed banks, Barclays reported holding 3,942,900 shares of IBIT, valued at $186.7 million, an increase of 48% from 2,658,147 shares three months ago, in a filing on November 6; Citigroup reported holding 521,144 shares of IBIT, valued at $24.7 million, in a filing on November 4, and added 1,636,387 shares of Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), valued at $118.9 million. Strive itself increased its holdings by 29 Bitcoins in the week ending November 6, bringing its total holdings to 43,153 Bitcoins.

first_img BNY has partnered with Figment to support staking on its digital asset custody platform

According to The Block, banking giant BNY will adopt the validator infrastructure of staking service provider Figment to support its staking business. Eligible institutional clients can stake assets within the platform through BNY's existing digital asset custody services.Figment stated that BNY's staking clients include asset management companies, ETF issuers, corporations, and wealth management institutions. Qualified clients can earn staking rewards on supported assets on the platform. A Figment spokesperson told The Block that ETH will be supported initially, followed by an expansion to SOL, although no specific launch date has been announced.Ralf Roth, head of BNY's digital asset custody, stated that as institutional participation in staking increases, the focus is shifting from whether staking can be accessed to how staking is delivered. Providing staking services in a trusted custody framework with Figment allows institutions to have more confidence in their participation methods and meets their standards for security, oversight, and accountability.Josh Deems, head of revenue at Figment, stated that Figment is bringing its validator infrastructure and staking experience to BNY's digital asset custody platform, providing institutional clients with another way to participate in staking within existing platforms and service processes.BNY launched its digital asset custody services in October 2022, initially accepting Bitcoin and Ethereum from a limited number of clients. Last month, BNY expanded its custody agreement with Ripple to cover XRP and RLUSD, and plans to allow BNY clients to mint and redeem RLUSD through the bank.Coinbase Prime integrated Figment's Ethereum staking services in early 2024, and when the two announced an expansion to networks such as Solana, Cardano, and Sui in October 2025, they stated that the partnership had facilitated over $2 billion in asset staking. Figment claims it has provided staking services to over 1,500 institutions, including asset management companies, custodians, exchanges, and wallets.

Tether Gold completed an audit by the Big Four accounting firms, with reserve gold valued at 2.246 billion USD

Tether announced that KPMG U.S. has completed an independent audit of the financial statements of TG Commodities, the issuer of Tether Gold (XAU₮), as of December 31, 2025, and issued an unqualified opinion. The audit shows that XAU₮ is fully backed by physical gold. This is the second stablecoin under Tether to complete an audit by one of the Big Four accounting firms, following Tether International, the issuer of USDT, in August of this year.During the audit, KPMG conducted a physical count and verification of each gold bar backing XAU₮, rather than relying solely on confirmations from custodians. As of December 31, 2025, TG Commodities holds 520,089.350 ounces of pure gold, valued at $2.246 billion, corresponding to the issued 520,089.300 XAU₮.The gold is stored in Swiss vaults and meets the London Good Delivery standards, with ownership belonging to the token holders, where each token corresponds to an indivisible ownership of specific gold bars. The company also hires an independent third party to conduct quarterly sampling tests of the gold bars.CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that XAU₮ is expected to become the first true competitor in the gold ETF market, as gold can be settled instantly, with lower custody costs and higher transparency. CFO Simon McWilliams mentioned that auditing the largest and most complex USDT and XAU₮ is paving the way for a comprehensive audit of the entire company.
