24 Hour Tug Of War – Stocktwits Data In Action 🥊

Our data is insanely powerful because it’s unique. It’s unique because it’s proprietary to our platform and filled with over a decade and a half of users like you posting about what you love investing in.

And trolling. Lot’s and lot’s of trolling.

Our data has power because it can’t be copied.

It was built here, inside Stocktwits, over more than 15 years of real investors saying what they believe, what they’re watching, what they’re buying, what they’re avoiding, and what they care.

And trolling. Lot’s and lot’s of trolling.

It’s proprietary. It’s behavioral. It’s alive.

And eventually, with the Stocktwits MCP, that data becomes even more useful. You’ll be able to build with it, query it, chart it, and visualize it in real time.

• Who’s bullish.

• Who’s bearish.

• When sentiment flips.

• Where conviction is building.

• Which assets are gaining attention before price moves.

The future of market data will be about what traders said and believed before it traded.

And that means you’ll eventually be able to create and visualize things like who is bullish and who is bearish throughout the day:

CleanSpark Became a ‘Data Center Developer.’ It Still Mines 614 Bitcoin A Month 🤔

$CLSK ( ▼ 7.62% ) ’s June update ran under a new byline. For years the header read “America’s Bitcoin Miner®,” trademark and all. The July release calls it a “market-leading data center developer.”

Same outfit, same quarter-million machines in Georgia, same 50 EH/s.

Under that title, in June, the data center developer mined 614 $BTC ( ▼ 0.47% ).

It Still Mines

Click to enlarge.

Every dollar CleanSpark booked last quarter came from mining. Not most of it. All of it. AI data center revenue as of the Q2 print was zero – uncontracted, future-tense. The lead hyperscale tenant at the 250 MW Sandersville site is “progressing through engineering and commercial negotiations,” which is management-speak for not signed.

• 614 BTC mined in June, 3,724 year to date through June 30.

• 50 EH/s, pinned there since June 2025. They hit the target, stopped adding machines, and production has slid since – same iron, fewer coins, difficulty taking its cut.

• Around 20 BTC a day out of roughly 225,000 machines.

‘Data center’ Borrows Cheaper Than ‘Miner’

So why drop a trademarked identity you spent years building? Money is cheaper for a data center than for a Bitcoin miner.

A miner is crypto beta with extra steps – revenue is BTC price times your slice of hashrate, minus power. Equity holders treat you like a leveraged Bitcoin ETF that depreciates ASICs on the side, and lenders price volatile collateral into every basis point.

A data center developer with a signed hyperscaler lease is a different animal – contracted cash flow, an investment-grade tenant, the infrastructure multiple Equinix and Digital Realty carry. Same substations, same buildings, different comp sheet.

This isn’t me spitballing. Well, this is also me spitballing. On the Q2 call, CFO Gary Vecchiarelli sold the turn as exactly that – it opens the door to “access to capital at much lower costs than we have seen.” The finance chief, naming cheap money as the prize.

And the financing already zoomed up in front. CleanSpark placed $1.15 billion of zero-coupon convertible notes in November. Zero percent. You don’t sell billion-dollar paper at a 0% coupon as America’s Bitcoin Miner in a soft crypto tape. You sell it as a data center developer sitting on 1.8 GW of contracted power and a five-gigawatt pipeline.

None of it is signed. Citizens opened with an Outperform and a $27 target, the stock ran up near 50% at its peak, then gave most of it back – near $12 to $13 against a $21 midpoint. The AI data center trades like a Bitcoin miner again, because that’s what the income statement still says it is.

614 in June, a touch under May, difficulty grinding in the background. Whatever CleanSpark prints on the next header, there are 225,000 machines in Georgia that never saw the rebrand. Still. Just. Mining.

Speaking Of Mining, Galaxy Turned A Bitcoin Mine Into A $1 Billion CoreWeave Lease 💵

Since we were just on crypto outfits reinventing themselves as AI landlords – here’s one that closed the deal instead of teasing it.

$GLXY ( ▼ 2.64% ) says Phase I of its Helios campus in West Texas is live. 133 MW of critical IT load, 200 MW gross, delivered to $CRWV ( ▼ 3.39% ) on schedule, with rent commencing in Q2. The site used to mine Bitcoin. Now it rents power to an AI cloud company on a 15-year lease.

That’s the part CleanSpark can’t chart yet. Galaxy has a signed hyperscaler and a running meter, not a press release about negotiations. Across Phases I through III, CoreWeave has committed to 526 MW – the full 800 MW gross approved at Helios – on leases Galaxy expects to throw off more than $1 billion in average annual revenue. Two five-year extensions baked in.

The campus keeps growing. 2,200-plus acres, approved capacity up to 1.63 GW, a path to 3.6 GW if the power shows up.

Arbitrum’s Bull Case Is Boring. Good 👍️

Some of you wanted some more details into the whole Robinhood Chain and Arbitrum shindig. Well here you go:

For those who don’t know, $HOOD ( ▼ 3.96% ) Chain went live on July 1, 2026 as a dedicated $ARB ( ▼ 3.07% ) chain settling to $ETH ( ▼ 1.28% ) , using ETH as gas. There’s more to Robinhood Chain, but we’ll leave that alone for now, because the focus is on the ETH Layer 2, Arbitrum.

So What Does ARB Get Out Of This?

In a nutshell, ArbitrumDAO is trying to monetize plumbing. Robinhood Chain gives the DAO an enterprise-chain revenue line through the Arbitrum Expansion Program. Chains outside Arbitrum One pay 10% of protocol net revenue, with 8% to the DAO treasury and 2% to the Arbitrum Developer Guild. Basically infrastructure licensing.

Also, there’s a couple proposals out there that make ARB even more of a chain to take a look at.

Fast Feed is the first proposal. It proposes a paid, authenticated data stream for Arbitrum One, giving subscribers earlier visibility into ordered transaction flow and metadata after the sequencer has already fixed ordering.

The proposed split sends 97% of subscription revenue to ArbitrumDAO and 3% to the Developer Guild. That benefits ARB by turning sequencer-adjacent data into a paid product instead of letting the value leak to the fastest private infrastructure operators.

And the second proposal is the winding down of (I forgot this thing existed) Arbitrum Gaming Ventures (AGV). The proposal would stop new forward investment activity, sunset the grant program, and return roughly 143.7 million ARB from the original 225 million ARB allocation to the DAO treasury.

Existing portfolio positions would still be managed, but new capital stops wandering into a consumer and gaming mandate the DAO no longer prioritizes. For ARB, that means less treasury bleed, more capital returned, and a better capital discipline story.

Put together, this is Arbitrum’s boring bull case: enterprise licensing, paid data products, and treasury repair. It does not automatically mean ARB tokenholders get cash flow tomorrow. Important. Annoying. True. But it does give ARB something governance tokens usually lack: a cleaner path from usage to DAO revenue, and from DAO spending to – GASP – accountability.

Something Useful?! VAT Refunds, Automated 🤯

Every so often there is an update or press release that describes something that would genuinely help someone, and BillsOnChain is one of them.

$HBAR ( ▼ 2.62% ) ’s Hashgraph Group and String Metaverse put the platform live on Hedera Monday. What does it do? Its scans a physical bill, gets written to a ledger nobody can go back and edit, and lets VAT refunds and tax reclaims process themselves.

The company says it’s onboarded 31,000 users, scanned more than 830,000 bills, and 430,000 NFTs minted since go-live, each one a verifiable record of a transaction that used to live in a shoebox.

Real invoices, real throughput, real enterprise use riding on Hedera’s low-latency rails. No new token, no speculative tokenomics. Utility that compounds every time someone photographs a receipt.

The market backs the direction too. Blockchain B2B payments are projected to grow from $22.2 billion in 2025 to $1.86 trillion by 2034. Aggressive, sure. But invoice financing and fraud reduction are problems businesses will pay to solve.

Well. This would be useful.

BonkDAO Got Robbed By Its Own Rulebook 🤦

Call it a hack if you want. It wasn’t.

Twitter tweet

$BONK ( ▼ 7.33% ) ’s BonkDAO’s treasury lost about $20 million in BONK – roughly 4.4 trillion tokens – after someone passed a governance proposal on $SOL ( ▼ 3.59% ) ’s Realms platform.

No smart contract broke, no key got stolen. The attacker just bought the vote.

The math should worry every token-weighted DAO. Proposal BIP #76 sat live for six days. Quorum was 1% of supply. Somebody spent around $4.4 million on Bybit and Binance to grab exactly that much, then voted yes to themselves.

Seven wallets participated. More than 18,000 members didn’t. The thing cleared its threshold by a whisker – 882.38 billion BONK against an 879.95 billion floor – and passed with 99.9% approval.

Then they dumped the BONK they’d bought and kept the treasury. Roughly an hour, entry to exit.

BonkDAO notified law enforcement. Of what, exactly, nobody can say. The attacker read the rules and followed them. BONK’s down about 9%. Upbit paused deposits.
