According to Fox News, U.S. President Donald Trump today confirmed the existence of secret communication channels between himself and officials of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Details of U.S.-Iran negotiations were exposed several days ago, revealing that the Trump administration had bypassed Iran’s official negotiators to engage with the IRGC. In mid-May this year, when U.S. negotiators attempted to reach an agreement with Iran to end hostilities, they encountered a critical problem: they could not verify whether the Iranian representatives at the negotiating table truly represented the highly influential IRGC. As a result, Trump administration officials took an unusual approach—bypassing Iran’s official negotiators to directly contact senior IRGC leaders. The U.S. selected Nechirvan Barzani, President of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, to oversee this secret channel, a choice based on his rare advantage of being trusted by both the U.S. and IRGC leadership. A key reason for the difficulties in U.S.-Iran negotiations is that Washington cannot determine who actually holds decision-making power in Iran.

Ultra-high-net-worth family offices from the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East have collectively accumulated a SpaceX stake worth approximately $3.8 billion. The largest single holding belongs to the family office of Nick Pritzker, heir to the Hyatt hotel empire, which held a SpaceX position valued at around $1.8 billion as of the end of June; the stake was established just weeks after SpaceX’s public listing. Two key trends are currently unfolding: First, family offices are reallocating capital from traditional allocations to actively position in long-cycle themes including rockets, satellites, and AI infrastructure. Second, SpaceX’s secondary market capital structure is expanding beyond its original PE/VC holders to a broader pool of ultra-high-net-worth and institutional investors. Against the backdrop of SpaceX’s share price facing post-listing volatility, lock-up period selling pressure, and a short squeeze, the large-scale positions built by family offices have provided new buying support for the market.

According to market data from BIT (bit.com), U.S. pre-market trading saw Bitcoin mining firm HIVE Digital jump 8.85%, with its stock priced at $2.93. HIVE Digital’s subsidiary BUZZ High Performance Computing (BUZZ HPC) announced the signing of a five-year GPU cloud services agreement, with a total contract value of roughly $350 million, translating to annual revenue of about $70 million. This marks HIVE’s second large GPU cluster deal in two months; upon completion, BUZZ HPC’s total annual revenue will hit approximately $180 million, including $35 million already realized and $145 million set to roll out gradually in the fourth quarter of 2026. The deployment will leverage NVIDIA’s reference architecture, building a dedicated cluster comprising 2,016 NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs, configured with GB300 NVL72 rack systems, Quantum-X800 InfiniBand networking, and VAST Data storage. The cluster is scheduled to launch later this year at Bell AI Fabric facilities in Merritt, British Columbia, which run on renewable hydroelectric power and closed-loop liquid cooling. The deployment requires around $185 million in capital expenditure. Once the cluster is delivered, HIVE forecasts daily revenue from its HPC/AI operations to reach roughly $500,000.
