The U.S. SEC sues two private equity funds: suspected of falsely selling Pre-IPO shares of OpenAI, SpaceX, etc., and misappropriating investor funds

According to Fortune, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed lawsuits against two private fund cases, accusing the relevant fund advisors of raising funds under the pretext of investing in popular tech companies like OpenAI and SpaceX before their IPOs, but allegedly providing false information to investors and misappropriating some of the funds.The SEC stated that Meyer Global Management and its head Owen Meyer are suspected of raising at least $18.5 million from nearly 100 investors to purchase shares of companies before their IPOs, but misappropriated at least $1.27 million, including using fund money for personal consumption, paying entertainment expenses, and personal investments. Among them, the SEC accused Meyer of establishing a fund for investing in shares of OpenAI and SpaceX, but some of the funds did not actually hold the relevant assets.In another case, the SEC and federal prosecutors accused Beyond Alpha Ventures heads Christopher Dinelli and Jacob Frankel of raising over $8.7 million from 35 investors and falsely promoting that the fund held shares in companies like SpaceX and xAI.The SEC stated that the two provided false investment reports, with some of the funds being used for options trading, film investments, and personal use. The SEC emphasized that the accused tech companies and their management have not been found to have engaged in misconduct. Regulatory agencies have been continuously monitoring investment products that promote "acquiring shares before popular private company IPOs" and have launched multiple enforcement actions against relevant private fund advisors.

Michael Saylor seeks to restart the Strategy financing engine: the proposal for daily dividends on preferred shares may pass

According to Bloomberg, Strategy's Executive Chairman Michael Saylor is seeking to adjust the dividend mechanism for the company's preferred shares, proposing to change the dividend payment from bi-monthly or quarterly to daily for billions of dollars in preferred stock. The annualized yield on the related securities can reach up to 12%, and Saylor stated that this move would help improve liquidity and market efficiency.Previously, Strategy primarily raised funds by selling common stock to purchase Bitcoin, but as the premium of common stock relative to its Bitcoin assets disappeared, the company shifted to issuing perpetual preferred shares that do not dilute the equity of common stock shareholders. Such securities have no fixed repayment date and can provide a new source of financing for Strategy. The company currently has over $14 billion in preferred shares outstanding. Although the company has repurchased over $1 billion of floating-rate preferred shares STRC, it has still been unable to issue new STRC since May.Analysts pointed out that increasing the frequency of dividend payments mainly reduces dividend-related volatility, cannot eliminate credit and Bitcoin price risks, and may not necessarily enhance market liquidity. The shareholder vote on the proposal will conclude on October 28. Given that Saylor is the main shareholder of Strategy, the proposal is expected to pass.

On September 29, Shayon Sengupta, a partner at the cryptocurrency investment firm Multicoin Capital, stated that Multicoin has invested in the decentralized bandwidth network Grass through its hedge fund and venture capital fund, referring to it as the reading layer of machine intelligence. Over the past 18 months, Grass has recruited contributors to share idle bandwidth through crypto incentives for querying and parsing the public internet, connecting data to the data pipeline of frontier labs.The article cites a report from Grass itself, stating that over 6 million contributors have received rewards denominated in USD, funded by the revenue generated directly from their contributions. Grass reported revenues of $17 million in 2025, with another $17 million recorded in the first half of 2026, with nearly all AI clients making repeat purchases. Grass claims the business is profitable and projects that revenue from training data alone will reach $75 million in 2026, with relevant figures coming from its call on July 7 to token holders and network participants.Sengupta wrote that Grass plans to launch a Contents API, allowing models to open and render public pages through residential networks, and plans to introduce a Search API along with web indexing. Grass has collected over 1 billion public internet videos, some of which are used with Multicoin portfolio company Inference.net for training video annotation models.
