According to Quit monitoring, the Payment Processor V2 (PPV2) vulnerability attack is still ongoing. Even if users are not affected by the incident, as long as the relevant authorization has not been revoked, assets may still be at risk, and it is recommended to revoke the authorization immediately.About 1 hour ago, a certain address lost 0.15246 WETH in the next block after accepting a quote and receiving funds. The attacker paid 99% of it as a tip to Titan Builder, keeping only about 0.0015 ETH, which is almost impossible to recover through front-running. Quit suggests that OpenSea should check whether there are still risk authorizations before users accept quotes and require users to revoke them first; when transferring NFTs, it should also check whether the receiving address has relevant authorizations left.

Founder of Strategy, Michael Saylor, stated in a post that Bitcoin is digital capital, MSTR is digital equity, and STRC is digital credit.The company's corporate strategy is to create two complementary products from Bitcoin capital: MSTR provides leveraged Bitcoin exposure and holds ownership of a growing digital credit business; STRC aims to reduce volatility, compress duration, and provide dollar returns. Creating digital credit requires active management of the entire balance sheet, including Bitcoin, dollars, debt, preferred stock, and common stock, involving multiple decisions regarding capital, liquidity, priority, dividend rates, payment frequency, and investor terms.The company's goal is to create the highest quality digital credit products: supported by financial resilience, disciplined capital allocation, and a more stable investor experience to provide attractive dollar returns. Dividends are visible outputs, but the quality of the underlying system is the core work.The company engineers products by managing capital, debt, and liquidity. Investors seeking Bitcoin price exposure can directly hold BTC or spot Bitcoin funds; meanwhile, MSTR investors buy equity in a company that simultaneously seeks Bitcoin leveraged exposure and digital credit business growth, accepting amplified volatility and downside risk. STRC investors pursue a different experience: dollar returns, reduced price volatility, and shorter duration characteristics, relying on the company's capital strength, priority debt position, dollar liquidity, and active management to achieve this.The two are interconnected—capital structure directs more volatility and return potential of Bitcoin towards common stock, thereby providing credit investors with more stable income claims. The company manages the balance sheet uniformly, creating leveraged exposure for equity investors and dampened exposure for credit investors, both relying on the company's strength and execution quality.To achieve this goal, Strategy continuously manages various levels of the capital structure, including issuing and repurchasing STRC, distinguishing between payment reserves and allocated cash, adjusting dividend rates, optimizing security terms, and seeking shorter durations and longer payment runways.The company emphasizes that digital credit is a discipline that requires continuous practice: stripping volatility, compressing duration, and extracting returns from Bitcoin capital. Bitcoin itself does not pay interest, and Strategy pays dividends through security terms. The ultimate goal is to build stronger digital credit and create greater long-term value for MSTR shareholders, reinforcing the quality of capital and equity value.
