Bitcoin miners face widening AI financing costs as lenders scrutinize deals

Bitcoin mining companies expanding into artificial intelligence and high-performance computing face sharply different borrowing costs as lenders scrutinize large-scale data center projects, adding to the industrys growing financing challenges.　　According to the latest Miner Weekly newsletter from BlocksBridge Consulting, securing major AI customers has only been part of the challenge for miners. Companies must also raise billions of dollars to purchase computing equipment, build facilities and secure the power infrastructure needed to fulfill their contracts.　　“[B]ig lenders have become more selective about data center loans and decisions increasingly depend on the customer, the contract and the path to completion,” BlocksBridge said.　　IREN, which has expanded from Bitcoin mining into AI infrastructure, illustrates the differences in financing costs. The company secured a $3.65 billion GPU financing package in June at a blended interest rate of 6%, followed by a separate $2.4 billion financing arrangement in August at a fixed rate of 9%. The two agreements cover different projects, so theyre not directly comparable, but they show how borrowing costs can vary even within the same company.　　Financing arrangements can also carry costs beyond interest payments. In a separate transaction involving Cipher Digital, Google agreed to backstop $1.4 billion in lease obligations in exchange for warrants

Eclair merges fixes for Lightning flaws that could burn Bitcoin in fees

Eclair, ACINQs Lightning node software, has merged two repairs for gaps that could make a node lose Bitcoin through excessive mining fees during channel funding and splicing. One limits a peers fee-bump demands when Eclair contributes funds; the other checks transactions from a compromised Bitcoin backend while Eclair retains the signing keys.　　The repairs merged into the projects master branch on Oct. 2 and Oct. 5. As of Oct. 12, its release page still listed Septembers v0.14.3 as latest. The two October fixes postdate that packaged release.　　Bitcoin Optechs Oct. 9 newsletter highlighted both changes as closing protection gaps during dual funding and splicing.　　Related Asset Bitcoin BTC · $82,457.16 24-hour change: down 1.71%　　The first repair, PR #3388, concerns peer-initiated replace-by-fee, or RBF, attempts during a dual-funded channel opening or a splice that adjusts a channels funding. A peer could request a replacement transaction with a higher fee rate. Eclair kept its wallet contribution and paid for its inputs at that rate, without an upper bound or fee budget on this path.　　That let a malicious peer impose an arbitrary mining fee rate on the contributing node while contributing nothing itself. The loss would be paid as fees to miners rather than transferred directly

XRP Ledgers Payment Engine Had a Counterfeiting Bug Hiding Since 2015

In briefXRP Ledger maintainers disclosed and patched a critical payment-engine overflow bug, reported via bug bounty in September, that could have let an attacker create counterfeit XRP.The flaw sat unnoticed since 2015 because no normal payment triggers it, and the ledgers “no XRP created” safety check used the same broken arithmetic.There is no evidence the bug was ever exploited, XRP Ledger devs say.　　Developers behind the XRP Ledger have disclosed and fixed a critical vulnerability that, left unaddressed, could have let an attacker conjure XRP out of thin air, a flaw that sat dormant in the networks code for roughly a decade.　　In a disclosure published Friday, the ledgers maintainers said a researcher reported the bug through the XRPL bug bounty program in September. The issue was an integer overflow in the payment engine, the part of the software that processes payments.　　Myriad: Where does XRP go next？ Click to make your prediction.　　When a single payment consumed hundreds of specially crafted offers from the order book, the sum of what the buyer owed exceeded the maximum value the system could store and “wrapped around” to a tiny number.

Claude AI Predicts BTC as ETF Outflows Hit $681 Million

Spot Bitcoin ETFs shed $681.10 million last week, the heaviest weekly outflow in three months. Claude AI predicts BTC holds its recovery structure anyway, because that figure was produced by two sessions rather than a trend.　　The week was violent in the middle and quiet at both ends. Bitcoin was rejected at $87,000 on Monday, then slid to a two-week low of $80,400 by Thursday evening. It recovered from there and closed the week back above $83,000.　　BTC trades at $83,790, effectively flat on the day, with a market cap of $1.68 trillion. The token is down just 1.9% over seven days, a mild figure for a week that produced the largest fund outflows since June. This mismatch is the starting point. Price absorbed almost $700 million of selling and gave up less than 2%.　　Bitcoin ETFs Flow sosovalue　　Join Coinspeakers $1,000 Prize Drop on BybitTwo Sessions Account for the Entire Weekly Outflow Figure　　Bitcoin closed the week above $83k, so bulls remain in control and the burden of proof remains on the bears.　　In my experience, DCAing in the 2nd half of midterm years is the correct approach. It worked in 2018/2022, hopefully it works in 2026. https://t.co/uKANYty2Do pic.twitter.com/xnmF0dRMxd　　— Benjamin Cowen (@benjamincowen) October 12, 2026　　Break

Bitcoin Price Defies $681M ETF Outflow as Oil Trades Above $100

Bitcoin is holding above $80,000 even as Brent crude trades above $100 amid renewed Middle East tensions. The resilience is notable, but roughly $681 million of weekly U.S. spot bitcoin ETF outflows leaves institutional demand as the key test for the next move.　　Key TakeawaysBitcoin held above $80K as Brent topped $100, despite $681M in weekly ETF outflows.Strategy added 250 BTC, lifting its holdings to 848,250 BTC as corporate demand continued.The key test is whether bitcoin can hold support if institutional ETF selling persists.　　Bitcoin Holds Firm as Oil Shock Tests Institutional Demand　　Bitcoin is refusing to break even as two familiar pressure points return at once: surging oil prices and weaker institutional flows.　　Bitcoins price has remained above the $80,000 area while Brent crude trades at $107 a barrel amid renewed Middle East tensions. That relative stability stands out because higher energy prices can revive inflation fears, complicate monetary policy and pressure risk assets.　　Yet the crypto market is not receiving much help from ETFs. U.S. spot bitcoin funds recorded roughly $681 million in weekly net outflows, raising the question of how long bitcoins price resilience can continue without fresh institutional buying.　　Bitcoin Shrugs Off the Oil Shock　　Bitget Wallet research analyst Lacie Zhang sees bitcoins

Frances tax proposal would tax Bitcoin-to-USDC swaps before investors cash out

Frances proposed crypto tax changes would make a move from Bitcoin or Ether into certain stablecoins a taxable disposal, even if the investor never withdraws cash.　　Related Asset Bitcoin #1 BTC · $82,641.91 24-hour change: down 0.48% Loading price history… 24H Down 0.48% 7D Down 3.37% 30D Up 6.71%　　The National Assemblys Finance Committee adopted amendment I-CF1826 on Oct. 7, adding that proposed exception to a broader overhaul of how private crypto gains are calculated. The provision would apply to disposals and exchanges from Jan. 1, 2027 if enacted.　　For an investor selling Bitcoin exposure into USDC, the consequence would be a change in the tax timing of a risk-reduction trade. A gain could become reportable while the proceeds remain in a crypto wallet or exchange account. But the proposal also changes the cost deducted from those proceeds, and gives older holdings a transition choice.　　Related Asset USDC USDC · Stablecoin　　Under French tax authority guidance, covered crypto-to-crypto exchanges without a cash balancing payment receive tax deferral. Converting into fiat or using crypto to obtain other goods or services can already be taxable under the private-disposal regime, subject to its applicable exemption.　　CF1826 would remove the exchange deferral when the investor receives e-money tokens as defined
