Samson Mow, CEO of Bitcoin technology company JAN3, recently proposed in a podcast to fork the Bitcoin Core code to resolve the community split caused by the current OP_RETURN policy dispute. Mow proposed a solution to the current developer "incentive misalignment" problem, suggesting creating a fork based on the current version and maintaining the new software through an anonymous developer funding model. Mow believes this is the best course of action because it is very difficult to promote changes under the current structure. He particularly emphasized that the new fork needs to establish a more complete governance charter to prevent developers from participating in the project due to their personal reputation.

Hong Kong crypto investment company Animoca Brands is planning to go public in New York. Co-founder Yat Siu said the Trump administration's loose regulation of crypto assets provides a "unique opportunity" to enter the world's largest capital market. Animoca was previously valued at nearly $6 billion, with an investment portfolio that includes companies such as OpenSea, Kraken and Consensys. Yat Siu said the company had not considered going public in the United States last year, but now "the U.S. market has become unmissable." Animoca said it is considering a variety of equity structures and the listing announcement "may be released soon."

Dell has formally rejected a shareholder proposal that would have added Bitcoin to its treasury. In a May 9 response letter, Dell said proposals that "dig into complex matters that prevent shareholders from making informed decisions and thus improperly micromanage the company" could be excluded. The proposal's statement of support exposed the proposer's attempt to micromanage management's discretion in managing the company's cash and structuring its investments, arguing that Dell should consider replacing some of its cash and bonds with assets that can outperform inflation, such as Bitcoin. But staff have previously pointed out that stipulating the form of a company's investments would improperly limit management's discretion in ordinary business matters. Whether it requires investment in cryptocurrency assets or divests such assets, the proposal improperly limits management and the board's autonomy in managing the company.
