Bitcoin Solaris Unveils Hybrid Consensus Architecture Ahead of Nova App Mining Launch
TALLINN, Estonia, May 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitcoin Solaris is officially unveiling its advanced hybrid consensus architecture, purpose-built to support fast, decentralized applications with user-integrated mining and sub-2-second finality. This system will serve as the backbone for the upcoming launch of the Nova App, which enables everyday users to mine BTC-S tokens using their smartphones.
The new consensus framework reflects Bitcoin Solaris' commitment to creating a scalable, secure, and participatory blockchain — one that aligns developer needs with real-world user access.
Multi-Layer Consensus: Designed for Scale and Security
Bitcoin Solaris operates on a dual-layer blockchain, each with a specific consensus mechanism optimized for its function:
This hybrid approach removes bottlenecks seen in single-mechanism blockchains, allowing Bitcoin Solaris to scale without compromising user experience or decentralization.
Smartphone-Powered Mining via the Nova App
As part of the broader rollout, Bitcoin Solaris will soon activate mobile-native mining via the Nova App. This novel mechanism enables users to mine BTC-S tokens by allocating idle CPU and storage on their smartphones — with no need for specialized hardware, staking, or infrastructure setup.
Through this system, users directly contribute to network finality and block confirmation by participating in time-aligned consensus activities, earning daily BTC-S rewards while reinforcing network health.
There are no slashing risks, bonding periods, or validator elections. The process is transparent, secure, and auditable — bringing true accessibility to blockchain participation.
Independent Audits Completed
Prior to deployment, Bitcoin Solaris underwent a comprehensive set of third-party audits and verifications to ensure technical reliability:
These verifications establish a robust foundation for developers and users entering the ecosystem during this critical rollout phase.
To better understand how Bitcoin Solaris's hybrid approach differs from single-mechanism chains like Algorand, Crypto Nitro explores the architecture, consensus assignments, and real-world benefits of multi-layer finality in a recent technical review.
Presale Phase 3 Now Open
The BTC-S token follows a fixed-supply, halving-based emission model with a hard cap of 21 million tokens. There is no staking-based inflation — tokens are distributed solely through presale and user mining via the Nova App.
Presale Phase 3 is currently live, offering BTC-S tokens at 3 USDT each. Only 4.2 million tokens (20% of total supply) are allocated for presale access. The price will rise to 4 USDT in the upcoming Phase 4. Participants in this phase gain early access before mobile mining and centralized exchange listings begin.
With its hybrid consensus architecture and mobile-first mining experience, Bitcoin Solaris is building a network for real-world adoption. As the Nova App activation approaches, both users and developers can now secure early access to a high-performance, decentralized future.

Why the ‘TACO' Trade Is Tempting Investors Amid US-China Talks
On May 30, US President Donald Trump accused his Chinese counterpart, President Xi Jinping, of breaking a trade truce that brought down tariffs from extreme highs in early May. Investors saw the writing on the wall: tariffs would spike again, hurting the economy. Stocks fell more than 1%. But later the same day, Trump said he'd have a conversation with Xi, and optimism – and stock prices – were restored. When the call finally happened on June 5, the S&P 500 Index again briefly surged. The early months of Trump's second term have been marked by this pattern: The president threatens to impose sky-high tariffs and stocks tumble, then he relents and markets recover. Wall Street has learned to capitalize on this by buying into the S&P 500 when it first drops, anticipating the president will backtrack on tariffs and send markets higher.

Americans have pumped 401(k) holdings to record levels — and been rewarded for their patience
Despite stock market jitters, Americans stayed the course with their retirement savings, and their grit through a period of intense volatility has paid off. While retirement savers saw a drop in average 401(k), 403(b), and IRA balances due to market volatility, they continued to contribute to their retirement accounts at record rates. The average 401(k) savings rate hit a record 14.3% in the first quarter of 2025, according to Fidelity's latest retirement analysis of 17.3 million IRA accounts as of March 31, 2025. That number combines both employee and employer contributions and marks the highest collective savings rate ever tracked by the asset manager. The employee contribution rate was 9.5%, and the employer contribution rate was 4.8%. The 14.3% savings rate is the closest it's ever been to Fidelity's recommended savings rate of 15%. As markets gyrated amid trade war tensions earlier this year, it would be understandable to see many investors pause contributions or even pull money out of the market. Indeed, some retail investors did pull out and increase their allocations to cash. However, with tariff volatility now in the rear-view, staying invested has proven to be the best move. Since the end of March, the S&P 500 is up more than 6%, and the benchmark index is up 1.7% year-to-date. Those who stopped investing in response to market volatility would have missed out on the S&P 500's best May in 35 years. A chart from Fidelity shows outcomes for a starting balance of $100,000 invested in 70% stocks and the rest in bonds and cash between January 2022 and December 2024. Fidelity In this scenario, the worst-performing strategy was to move to cash in July 2022, after the market dropped 20%, and stop contributing. The best-performing strategy was to stay the course and maintain the same asset mix, with annual contributions of $10,000. Even if you moved to cash and continued to contribute, the end result would still be worse than if you had remained invested. Stocks have historically experienced three downturns of 5% a year, one correction of 10% a year, and one 15% decline every three years, so drops in the market are common.

Jim Chanos Sees Big Short in Saylor's Strategy, But Others Aren't So Sure
(Bloomberg) -- Buy Bitcoin, short Michael Saylor's Strategy. That's the latest call from legendary short-seller Jim Chanos, who sees the arbitrage play as a no-brainer. Others aren't so sure. ICE Moves to DNA-Test Families Targeted for Deportation with New Contract Next Stop: Rancho Cucamonga! The Global Struggle to Build Safer Cars US Housing Agency Vulnerable to Fraud After DOGE Cuts, Documents Warn NYC Residents Want Safer Streets, Cheaper Housing, Survey Says The trade has long been on the radar of Wall Street hedge funds, drawn to the premium Strategy's shares enjoy relative to the value of the company's Bitcoin holdings — a gap that topped 200% last year. The discrepancy stems from Saylor's self-styled Bitcoin treasury strategy, through which he has tapped capital markets to buy more and more of the world's biggest cryptocurrency, in turn attracting billions of dollars from retail investors. In the eyes of many arbitrage specialists, the yawning spread is unsustainable — in fact, it's already begun to narrow, but they see further opportunity to profit. 'I haven't seen an arbitrage like this in this size in years, years and years,' Chanos said during a recent interview on the Risk and Return podcast, referencing the trade he disclosed on CNBC in early May. It's one of a series of sophisticated trading strategies around the complex capital structure of Saylor's firm, formerly known as MicroStrategy, and the growing ecosystem of crypto investment vehicles. Some market players see parallels to the once-popular 'widow-maker' pair trade involving Bitcoin and the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, but with fewer constraints. There are still risks involved, though. Chanos, known for his prescient bet against Enron Corp. 20 years ago, emphasized that his current favored trade isn't a wager against Bitcoin or Strategy, but rather a mirror of Saylor's own playbook: selling equity and raising capital to buy more digital assets. The core opportunity, he said, lies in the divergence between Strategy's market price and the company's Bitcoin-adjusted book value. 'The fact of the matter is, this is a Bitcoin holding company,' Chanos said on the podcast explaining the premium dislocation. Buying Strategy shares at their current price of around $400, he said, is effectively equivalent to buying Bitcoin at about two times its value — 'paying around $220,000 for Bitcoin that trades at $110,000. But the company is doing everything it can to close that spread, which is great — there's a catalyst.' A growing number of copycats have also started pursuing similar crypto-treasury strategies, further shifting supply-demand dynamics, Chanos added on the podcast. The investor didn't respond to a request for comment, nor did representatives for Strategy. On a basic level, the premium as measured by Strategy's market capitalization relative to its Bitcoin holding value stands at 70%, according to Bloomberg calculations. Taken a step further — adding in other dilutive securities the company has employed in its massive capital raising in the last year and removing the value of Strategy's legacy software business — and investors are paying a premium for the stock that's nearly double the value of the firm's Bitcoin holdings. If Bitcoin rises but Strategy's premium compresses — or if share dilution outpaces gains— Chanos' trade would turn a profit. Yet like any arbitrage, the spread may widen before it narrows, as seen in the GBTC trade around 2021. Premium Warranted? Some analysts and retail believers argue that a substantial premium in Saylor's firm is warranted, placing it in a unique category. First of all, Strategy offers investors exposure to a zero-fee Bitcoin vehicle, offering an edge over comparable exchange-traded funds. What's more, the company demonstrated an ability to use leverage to grow Bitcoin per share over time, an added value for investors buying the stock instead of the ETFs or underlying crypto, according to TD Cowen analyst Lance Vitanza, who believes Strategy's Bitcoin per share will increase by 26% this year. 'I expect MSTR will trade around its recent historical premium, either side of 100%, for the foreseeable future,' he said, referring to Strategy's ticker. Timing — when to enter and exit the wager— remains a key variable around returns, given the spread's ongoing volatility. In March 2024, Kerrisdale Capital Management promoted a similar pair trade in a letter titled 'Know When to HODL, Know When to FODL,' in a nod to crypto lingo. The firm still stands by its thesis, but 'I don't have the trade on now,' said founder Sahm Adrangi. 'When we put out the report, the premium was much higher and it made sense at that point. Is it going to zero? I don't really know,' he said, declining to specify when the firm closed the position. To Chanos and other fans of the trade, Strategy's ample market capitalization — now over $100 billion — and deep float make it relatively easy to maintain the short leg. For hedge funds, new borrows are being priced at a fee of 0.3 percentage point, according to data from S3 Partners. This helps to keep the cost of carry manageable while waiting for the spread to narrow. The inexpensive terms are likely to persist, given the stock's roughly 250 million free floating shares, and that only 11% is currently sold short, said Sam Pierson, director of research at the firm. But that doesn't eliminate the risk that the borrowing dynamics could change — potentially becoming more expensive and less stable, especially for individual investors, said Victor Haghani, chief investment officer of Elm Wealth and founding partner of Long Term Capital Management. There's a lot of demand for borrowing shares related to convertible arbitrage wagers and leveraged short ETFs, he added. Another source of uncertainty is the potential for an unexpected corporate event, such as a merger that might shift the company's fundamental business, complicating premium estimates and muddying the existing trade. 'Say if all of a sudden Strategy is part of something that is twice as big — then when you try to look at the valuation relative to the Bitcoin it holds, you can't really say that much anymore because now there's a business with revenues,' Haghani said. Still, he is confident of the spread's long-term convergence. 'My expectation is that in four or five years at the longest, the premium will be zero or even negative,'he said. 'I think this is a good trade, a good one possibly for hedge funds, but it's not one I'd want to put on in my personal account for the risks involved and my disadvantaged position relative to hedge funds in running the trade.' --With assistance from Tom Contiliano.
