The movement that could redefine how economics and politics are reported has just happened. Kalshi, the regulated “prediction markets” platform where you legally bet on real events, closed an exclusive agreement with CNBC. This alliance makes Kalshi an official provider of probabilistic data and brings an information model based on probabilities and real money to television.

📖Over the past few months, Kalshi had gained ground after obtaining regulatory approval and capturing growing volumes, especially linked to macro and electoral events. But it had never achieved a window to the traditional public.
Now, thanks to CNBC, millions of households will have access to percentages and probabilities about inflation, Fed decisions, wars, elections and legislative changes.
The interesting thing is that CNBC will not only use the data: it will integrate it into television segments, in digital analyzes and in economic narratives. This occurs just when traditional media does not know how to compete with social networks, sports betting and quantitative content.
Kalshi brings a cold, hard fact, with money behind it, and CNBC turns it into a massive conversation. In practice, Kalshi becomes the first probabilistic source legitimized by an institutional means.
The magnitude of the agreement sets a precedent. With CNBC taking this data, the incentive for other platforms, media or even banks to act similarly is immense.
What once seemed like a parallel industry is now presented as an official economic indicator. And, although there are no public figures yet on future volume, Kalshi could skyrocket its user numbers at rates never seen before, driven by television visibility and the 2026 electoral narrative.

Topic Opinion:
For a long time, economic narratives were based on opinions and surveys. Today, probabilistic data is integrated where real money is at stake, something much more honest and reliable. I see this step as the definitive institutionalization of predictive markets.
💬 Do you think predictive markets will replace traditional surveys?

Microstrategy, a company famous for its massive Bitcoin buying strategy, has further solidified its position by adding 2,138 BTC worth $209 million to its digital asset holdings, bringing its total ownership to 446,400 BTC – equivalent to $41 billion at current prices.

1. Continuous Bitcoin Buying Chain: No Stopping

This is the 8th consecutive week of executing large-scale Bitcoin purchases. The average price the company paid for each BTC in its latest purchase is $97,837, demonstrating commitment to a long-term strategy.

Today's BTC price and market Momemtom

#Bitcoin price traded around $93,000 on Monday after Strategy disclosed it acquired 8,178 BTC for approximately $835.6 million over the past week, its largest buy since mid-summer.
According to an #SEC filing and a Michael Saylor post on X, the purchases were made at an average price of $102,171 per bitcoin. The company now holds 649,870 BTC acquired for roughly $48.37 billion at an average cost of $74,433 per coin. Strategy said its bitcoin yield has reached 27.8% year-to-date.
At the time of the announcement, Bitcoin was trading near $94,000 and Strategy’s stock ($MSTR) was trading down 2% at $195.86 in premarket trading. 
The #acquisition was funded primarily through preferred stock issuance. The company raised about $715 million earlier this month through its new euro-denominated preferred series, STRE (“Steam”), which expanded its high-yield offerings to European investors.
It also generated another $131.4 million from sales of its STRC (“Stretch”) preferred shares, according to Monday’s filing.
The move marks a return to large-scale accumulation by Strategy. Strategy’s recent bitcoin purchases had been smaller and more incremental amid a sharp drop in the company’s stock price. 
MSTR shares have fallen roughly 56% over the past four months, reducing the firm’s ability to issue common stock without diluting existing shareholders. 

At Monday’s ~$199 share price, Strategy’s enterprise value now sits only slightly above the value of its bitcoin reserves.
Bitcoin traded at $94,500 Monday morning, little changed from Friday. The latest purchase suggests Michael Saylor is doubling down on the firm’s bitcoin-as-treasury model despite the recent market decline. 
Strategy’s ‘zoom out’ fundamentals 
Bitcoin has dropped nearly 30% from its early-October highs, challenging assumptions that increased institutional participation and regulatory clarity would stabilize prices.
Strategy has increasingly turned to preferred stock as its mNAV premium compressed. Last week, the company closed a €620 million ($716.8 million) euro-denominated perpetual preferred offering, doubling its original size. The 10% Series A “Stream” preferred raised $703.9 million in net proceeds after fees.
Michael Saylor moved quickly last Friday to shut down rumors that Strategy was selling its bitcoin holdings, calling the reports “false” and reaffirming that the company is aggressively buying.
In an interview with #USStocksForecast2026 #CNBC the Executive Chairman said, “We are buying bitcoin,” adding that Strategy is “accelerating [its] purchases” and will disclose new activity on Monday. He hinted that investors may be “pleasantly surprised” by what the company has done in recent days.
Saylor dismissed concerns that outflows from company wallets signaled liquidation, emphasizing that “there is no truth to this rumor.” He urged investors to “zoom out,” arguing that the company remains fundamentally strong despite volatility. He said Strategy has built a “strong base of support” and expressed confidence in the firm’s positioning.
Saylor also stressed that Strategy’s balance sheet is “pretty stable” and only lightly leveraged, with no near-term debt pressure. He reiterated his belief that bitcoin is “always a good investment” for those with a multi-year horizon, contrasting long-term “digital capital” accumulation with short-term trading strategies.
Earlier this year, Saylor outlined a plan to build a trillion-dollar Bitcoin-backed balance sheet and eventually issue over-collateralized credit products.

a conversation with Bitcoin Magazine, Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor outlined an ambitious “endgame”: amassing a trillion-dollar bitcoin balance sheet and using it to help reinvent global credit.
Saylor said the goal is to reach $1 trillion in BTC and compound it 20–30% annually, leveraging Bitcoin’s long-term appreciation. At a scale of that magnitude, he believes Strategy — and similar future treasury firms — could use their holdings to issue bitcoin-backed credit with yields far better than those in the fiat system.
Over the weekend, Bitcoin was trading below $92,000 at times, according to Bitcoin Magazine Pro data.
