Ganesarajah, who officially joins the board on June 30, brings deep experience in digital asset management and institutional crypto strategy. A former senior executive at Morgan Stanley, Citi, and Credit Suisse, he has advised hedge funds overseeing more than $1 billion in AUM and currently leads The BE Company, a clean energy and AI infrastructure firm operating across the UK, US, and Canada.
Bluebird plans to appoint a new CEO by July 2025 to lead its hybrid strategy of combining physical gold mining with digital asset investments, a UK-first approach the company is branding as
“physical gold + digital gold.”
Ganesarajah stated,
“Bluebird has hard assets, public market access, and a clean slate. My goal is to help grow this company into a £1 billion enterprise in the upcoming cycle.”
Interim CEO Aidan Bishop welcomed the move, saying the funding marks a strategic turning point:
“The Bitcoin acquisition is just the beginning. We’re still early in this cycle, and we’re positioning Bluebird to capture significant upside as digital gold gains momentum.”
Meanwhile, in a sign of rising institutional interest in blockchain, JPMorgan Chase has filed a new service mark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), signalling its intent to deepen involvement in digital assets and blockchain infrastructure, further underscoring the accelerating convergence of traditional finance and crypto innovation.

AI Capital Expenditure Faces a Dilemma: Accelerating Puts Pressure on Cash Flow, Slowing Down Undermines the Growth Narrative
Nomura Securities believes that the AI investment narrative is mired in an internal contradiction: if hyperscale cloud providers accelerate capital expenditures, their free cash flow will continue to be drained, raising doubts about the sustainability of financing; if they slow down, it would indicate a loss of confidence in AI demand and profitability expectations. Both paths lead to sell-offs. The crowded long positions accumulated during the AI agent boom in September have triggered large-scale stop-losses under negative catalysts, spreading to US Treasury bonds, exchange rates, and commodity markets, resulting in systemic deleveraging.
Amazon (AMZN.US) CEO: AWS cloud computing capacity is fully booked until 2027, and a large amount of capacity has already been committed by customers for 2028

AI trading collapse: Will Anthropic postpone its "Super IPO"? The "scheduled listing date" in mid-November is approaching.
The time window is extremely tight—according to SEC regulations, the S-1 filing must be submitted by next week at the latest, and prediction markets estimate the probability of a listing within the year at around 80%. The sell-off in the AI sector has cast a shadow over the listing prospects, and the previous plan to go public in September has already fallen through. Several market participants say that Anthropic may face pressure to delay its listing, but some analysts point out that the company's urgent need for capital may drive it to stick to the original plan.
