    The Republican-controlled Congress on Wednesday could pass a sweeping budget package that would fulfill many of President Donald Trump’s priorities. It has already passed the Senate and needs to be approved again by the House of Representatives before Trump can sign it into law.

    Here is a summary of the major elements of the package, with cost and savings estimates by the Congressional Budget Office or the Joint Committee on Taxation when available.

    CBO estimates the bill would add $3.3 trillion to the $36.2-trillion debt over 10 years, reduce revenues by $4.5 trillion and cut spending by $1.2 trillion. The number of people without health insurance would increase by 10.9 million over that period due to changes to programs such as Medicaid.

  • MIL-OSI NGOs: China: Authorities must end interference in Tibetan religious practices as Dalai Lama announces succession plan

    Source: Amnesty International –

    Responding to the Dalai Lama outlining the process for his spiritual succession ahead of his 90th birthday, amid longstanding efforts by Chinese authorities to control the reincarnation of Tibetan Buddhist leaders, Amnesty International’s China Director Sarah Brooks said:

    “The Chinese authorities’ ongoing efforts to control the selection of the next Dalai Lama are a direct assault on the right to freedom of religion or belief. Tibetan Buddhists, like all faith communities, must be able to choose their spiritual leaders without coercion or interference by the authorities.

    “The Chinese authorities have a long history of systematically suppressing religious freedom and tightening control over Tibetan Buddhism. For example, in 1995 the authorities forcibly disappeared Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, the boy recognized by the Dalai Lama as the Panchen Lama; Beijing has yet to properly explain his fate and whereabouts.

    “This climate of secrecy, coupled with the imposition of numerous state-appointed religious figures within Tibetan Buddhism, highlights a concerning pattern of state control over religion in China.

    “The Chinese authorities must immediately end political interference in Tibetan religious practices and cease using religious succession as a tool for control and coercion. Authorities must uphold the right of everyone to freedom of religion or belief. They must also immediately allow independent access to Gedhun Choekyi Nyima and take steps to end 30 years of impunity for his disappearance.”

  • MIL-OSI NGOs: Amnesty International UK urges Government to use the opportunity provided by the Timms Review to establish an independent social security commission

    Source: Amnesty International –

    In response to the Government’s welfare bill passing its second reading in Parliament tonight, Jen Clark, Amnesty International UK’s Economic, Social and Cultural Rights Lead, said

    “The legislative process surrounding this welfare bill has been incredibly harmful to disabled people who depend on social security. It is disappointing that the bill advanced despite the dedicated efforts of campaigners and supportive MPs to abolish it. The rushed timeline restricts proper scrutiny of its remaining elements, particularly those that discriminate against individuals with fluctuating conditions, falling short of international standards.

    “While we are cautiously relieved that some of the most harmful aspects of the bill, specifically the changes to PIP, have been paused, the overwhelming lack of public support for these changes is undeniable. Recent polling by Savanta, commissioned by Amnesty, shows that 75% of respondents believe that removing PIP from people in need is cruel. Although the Government’s concession on this issue is welcome, serious questions still need to be addressed.

    “We are waiting for key details about the Timms review, which must not serve as a smokescreen to evade accountability or scrutiny through statutory consultation. This review presents a vital opportunity to realign social security with its fundamental purpose: ensuring that no one has to live in poverty

    “Amnesty International calls on the UK government to establish a Social Security Commission with statutory powers, drawing inspiration from the Beveridge Report and past Royal Commissions. This Commission should carry out an independent inquiry into the UK social security system, driving comprehensive reform to ensure that all individuals have an adequate standard of living grounded in dignity and human rights.”

    Rick Burgess Greater Manchester Coalition of Disabled People added, “Kier Starmer has marked his first year in parliament by betraying disabled people. Our lives have been traded through a shambolic, farcical parliamentary process. They have won a small battle but we’ll keep fighting. There’s no peace because there’s no justice.”

    Headline: DG Okonjo-Iweala underscores importance of partnerships to support LDCs

    Co-organized by Djibouti, Finland and the Executive Secretariat of the Enhanced Integrated Framework (EIF), the event focused on strengthening international partnerships in support of LDC trade and investment priorities. The vision for EIF Phase Three – the next stage of this Aid for Trade programme exclusively dedicated to LDCs – was also presented. Several countries announced new funding commitments to this new phase of the EIF.
    Several donors pledged new contributions to the EIF Trust Fund, providing strong momentum for Phase Three, which is set to begin in October 2025. Sweden announced a contribution of SEK 75 million (approx. CHF 6.3 million), Denmark DKK 20 million (approx. CHF 2.5 million), Norway NOK 12 million (approx. CHF 0.9 million), France EUR 300,000, (approx. CHF 0.3 million) and Liechtenstein CHF 50,000, building on Finland’s earlier pledge of EUR 2.5 million (approx. CHF 2.3 million) and a GBP 400,000 (approx. CHF 0.4 million) contribution from the United Kingdom to EIF Phase Three. These pledges will help ensure a solid start to the next phase of EIF support, which is designed to deliver catalytic and transformative impact for LDCs through trade.
    In her opening remarks, DG Okonjo-Iweala highlighted the growing gap between development needs and available resources, emphasizing the ongoing relevance of the EIF in helping LDCs benefit from trade. She noted that the partnership has “gone from strength to strength,” supporting USD 1 billion in LDC exports and enabling hundreds of thousands of small farmers and entrepreneurs to improve their livelihoods.
    She also shared the story of Sittina Farate Ibrahima from Comoros, whose biocosmetics business was developed with EIF support. “Today, 80% of her products are exported to Europe. This is what Aid for Trade to LDCs is all about.”
    Looking ahead, the Director-General welcomed the shared ambition behind EIF Phase Three and its USD 200 million funding target. “`We hope we can count on all the partners in bringing this vision to life, she said, noting that the event would serve as “a springboard for a high-level launch of the next phase of the EIF partnership at the 14th Ministerial Conference.”
    The event brought together ministers from Djibouti, Finland and Guinea, along with senior representatives from other least-developed and donor countries, including Sweden, Denmark, France, Germany, Norway, Liechtenstein and the United Arab Emirates. UNCTAD Secretary-General Rebeca Grynspan delivered closing remarks, alongside representatives from other international organizations and other development partners. Discussions focused on priorities for EIF Phase Three, which will run up to 2031.
    “From the perspective of the WTO LDC Group, EIF Phase Three comes at a critical time,” said H.E. Ilyas Moussa Dawaleh, Minister of Economy and Finance of Djibouti. “What we need is a mechanism that catalyses our efforts, brings innovation to respond to our evolving trade and investment priorities, supports stronger institutions, and helps unlock new partnerships. We see in the vision for EIF Phase Three a foundation to move towards precisely that. For many of our countries, including my own, the EIF has not only been a financial and technical partner. It has also been a catalyst for inclusive economic transformation.”
    “Finland is a longstanding supporter of multilateral efforts to strengthen the trade capacities of least-developed countries,” said H.E. Ville Tavio, Minister for Foreign Trade and Development of Finland. “We believe in the transformative power of trade as, when matched with targeted support and strong local ownership, it can unlock lasting development impact. The EIF has consistently proven to be a trusted and effective partner for LDCs. As it enters a new phase, we see an opportunity to deepen its reach and amplify its role in advancing inclusive and sustainable growth. Finland is proud to contribute to this next chapter.”
    A follow-up pledging and partnership event is scheduled for September 2025 on the margins of the WTO Public Forum in Geneva.
    EIF Phase Three aims to mobilize at least USD 200 million to help LDCs strengthen trade capacities, expand exports, and harness trade for inclusive, sustainable development.

  • MIL-OSI Banking: Senate Bill Delivers Win for Gulf of America Energy

    Source: National Ocean Industries Association – NOIA

    Headline: Senate Bill Delivers Win for Gulf of America Energy

    For Immediate Release: Tuesday, July 1, 2025NOIA .org
    Senate Bill Delivers Win for Gulf of America Energy,But Tax Changes Threaten U.S. Offshore Supply Chain
    Washington, D.C. – National Ocean Industries Association (NOIA) President Erik Milito issued the following statement after the Senate passed its version of the reconciliation package, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA):
    “The OBBBA represents decisive, long-overdue action to restore certainty and opportunity in the Gulf of America. It delivers leasing stability, finally ending years of policy whiplash and reaffirming the Gulf’s critical role in advancing American energy dominance, economic growth, and national security.
    “Mandated Gulf of America lease sales are absolutely essential. They give companies, whether family-run service shops or global manufacturers, the predictability needed to invest, hire, and build. When lease schedules vanish, so do jobs, capital, and energy security, with consequences felt far beyond the Gulf Coast.
    “Energy security is national security. Producing energy at home reduces reliance on foreign adversaries and projects American strength. The Gulf of America’s vast oil and gas reserves are essential to our strategic and economic stability. Just as importantly, Gulf energy helps keep costs down for working families, making life more affordable nationwide.
    “But the lessons of leasing certainty must be applied more broadly. While we appreciate the Senate’s efforts to improve the bill, particularly the refinements to key energy tax provisions, the changes still pose real challenges for continued investment in offshore wind. These provisions, though adjusted, remain material and would adversely affect long-term planning and capital deployment in offshore wind projects.
    “Without broader tax stability, including for offshore wind, the very supply chains that support American shipbuilding, ports, domestic manufacturing, and industrial jobs are at risk. Energy tax credits are proven drivers of private investment, creating thousands of shovel-ready jobs. When companies can count on a predictable tax framework, they can commit capital, grow their workforce, and build out the supply chains that power our energy future.
    “Across the Gulf Coast, oil and gas supply chain companies have already invested billions and made long-term strategic decisions. Offshore wind has allowed them to diversify, grow, and increase their competitiveness. They are now leading efforts to establish the U.S. as a global leader in offshore wind.
    “China is far ahead in the global competition. Stability in the tax code keeps private investment flowing here in the U.S., and that’s how we maintain our competitive edge in a global, high-stakes energy market.
    “Congress now has a real opportunity to prioritize deep and durable permitting reform. Reforms that last beyond a single administration are urgently needed to streamline project timelines, reduce regulatory bottlenecks, and enable responsible development across all forms of offshore energy: oil, gas, wind, and beyond. We need a system that empowers companies to innovate, respond to market needs, and lead the way in growing our energy future.”

  • MIL-OSI: Rivalry Reports Full-Year 2024 Results as Strategic Turnaround Takes Hold, Operating Loss Narrows, and Efficiency Improves

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TORONTO, July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rivalry Corp. (the “Company” or “Rivalry”) (TSXV: RVLY), an internationally regulated sports betting and media company, announces its financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

    While Rivalry’s 2024 financials reflect only the earliest signals of its company-wide restructuring, the foundational work – most of which began in the second half of 2024 – is now beginning to show results in 2025. The Company narrowed its net loss, reduced operating expenses by 17%, and entered the new year leaner, more focused, and closer to breakeven.

    “We made hard decisions last year – rebuilding the product, cutting costs, and refining our approach to players – and those changes are beginning to show signs of positive impact,” said Steven Salz, Co-Founder and CEO of Rivalry. “The latter half of 2024 set the stage, and we’re encouraged by the progress seen so far in 2025.”

    FY2024 Highlights

    • Net revenue of $13.6 million, compared to $16.2 million in 2023.
    • Operating expenses decreased 17% to $32.2 million, down from $38.8 million.
    • Net loss of $22.4 million, compared to $23.8 million.
    • Deferred revenue of $4.1 million related to pre-sales of Rivalry’s on-platform crypto token.
    • Year-end cash of $2.7 million, with materially lower run-rate operating expenses entering 20251.

    Organizational Rebuild & Operating Leverage

    Rivalry spent the latter part of 2024 and into Q1 2025 executing a comprehensive overhaul across its cost base, product, player strategy, and operational structure. With most changes now implemented, early signs of progress are emerging. Highlights include:

    • Lean operating model, with breakeven net revenue now approximately $600,000 USD/month, down from over $2 million USD/month a year ago. Further reductions to operating costs are planned in Q3 2025 to lower the breakeven point even more.
    • Restructured VIP program and onboarding, improving retention and monetization from high-value players.
    • Expanded casino product, improving baseline stability through missions, races, and progression-based systems.
    • Platform upgrades enhancing site speed, responsiveness, and conversion.
    • Crypto-native infrastructure overhaul, including a rebuilt cashier, improved user experience (“UX”), and token-ready architecture to support long-term on-chain growth.

    These efforts have driven early improvements across the Company’s core key performance indicators in 2025:

    • Net revenue per active user and wagers per user at record levels (excluding customary outliers).
    • Deposit growth in nearly every month from November 2024 through June 2025, despite minimal marketing spend.
    • Monthly new first-time depositors (FTDs) up approximately 40% since January 2025 on flat monthly spend. Average payback on cohorts acquired during this period was approximately 1.5 months, highlighting improved customer acquisition efficiency.

    2025 Momentum and Execution

    In the first half of 2025, Rivalry continued executing against its strategic turnaround, with a focus on increasing player value, tightening operational efficiency, and accelerating near-term revenue drivers. Key initiatives included:

    • Loyalty Program v2: Building on the success of the end-2024 launch, the next iteration of Rivalry’s on-site loyalty program is in development, designed to deepen progression, improve engagement, and anchor major campaigns throughout Q3 2025.
    • New Promo Engine: Launching this summer, the rebuilt system introduces immediate-match deposit offers and new promo types, integrated directly into onboarding and reactivation flows to lift first time deposits and retention.
    • Customer Relationship Management (“CRM”) and Always-On Optimization: Active performance reviews of core flows, geo-targeted reactivation campaigns, and structural upgrades to improve output across the customer lifecycle.
    • VIP & High-Value-Player Activity: Fully structured outreach live across geos, with segmentation, high-touch CRM, and LTV-based targeting to reactivate high-value-players.
    • Cashier & Site Speed: Continued improvements to platform speed, including faster load times, and reduced friction in cashier UX.
    • Ongoing UX Improvements: Consistent updates across the site aimed at visual polish, design coherence, and front-end responsiveness to deliver a cleaner, more reliable user experience.

    These initiatives have laid a foundation entering the second half of 2025. The focus now is on maintaining momentum, tightening execution, and scaling revenue through improved player economics and operational leverage.

    Strategic Review

    The Company’s previously announced evaluation of strategic alternatives remains ongoing. Rivalry continues to explore a range of potential outcomes aimed at maximizing shareholder value. There is no assurance regarding the timing or results of this review.

    Outlook

    While the 2024 annual results capture only the early innings of Rivalry’s strategic transformation, the changes made throughout the year have meaningfully repositioned the Company. With a leaner cost structure, stronger product, and increasing revenue efficiency, Rivalry is entering the second half of 2025 with sharper operational discipline and renewed focus.

    Additional updates will be provided alongside the release of the Company’s financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which are expected to be released on or prior to July 14, 2025.

    Unsecured Loan

    The Company also announces that it has secured a US$475,000 principal amount senior unsecured loan from its existing senior lender, maturing on September 30, 2025, with an interest rate of 10% per annum (the “Loan”). The Loan reinforces the Company’s senior lender’s support for the Company’s ongoing strategic review process and provides the Company with additional flexibility to continue pursuing its strategic initiatives to maximize long-term stakeholder value.

    Update Regarding Management Cease Trade Order

    The Company is providing this update on the status of a management cease trade order granted on May 1, 2025 (the “MCTO“) by its principal regulator, the Ontario Securities Commission (the “OSC“), under National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders (“NP 12-203“). On May 2, 2025, the Company announced that there would be a delay in the filing of its annual financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis and related CEO and CFO certificates for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (collectively, the “Annual Filings”), as required under applicable Canadian securities laws (the “Default Announcement“). On June 18, 2025 the Company further announced that it expects to file its unaudited financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and related certifications (collectively, the “Q1 Filings“) on or prior to July 14, 2025. Although the Annual Filings have now been filed, the OSC has advised the Company that the MCTO will remain in place until the Q1 Filings have been completed.

    The Company advises that: (i) there have been no material changes to the information contained in the Default Announcement; (ii) it intends to continue to comply with the alternative information guidelines of NP 12-203; and (iii) except as previously disclosed, there are no subsequent specified defaults (actual or anticipated) within the meaning of NP 12-203.

    The MCTO will remain in effect until the Company is no longer in default with respect to its filing requirements and the OSC lifts the cease trade order.

  • MIL-OSI: Everything Blockchain Inc. Eyes Historic First: Tokenizing OTC Stock After Robinhood’s Market-Defining Shift

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Jacksonville, July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Everything Blockchain Inc. (OTC: EBZT), a public company focused on owning and staking the world’s fastest-growing crypto networks, announced today that it is actively preparing to tokenize its stock upon completion of its pending capital raise scheduled for early-to-mid July. This groundbreaking move would position EBZT as the first U.S. OTC-listed company to bring its equity fully on-chain, following in the footsteps of major industry players like Robinhood Markets, Superstate, and xStockFi.

    Market Validation from Industry Giants

    On June 30th, Robinhood unveiled its own stock tokenization rollout at its inaugural crypto keynote in France, enabling European investors to trade tokenized versions of major U.S. equities such as Apple and NVIDIA, 24/7, via blockchain rails. EBZT’s proposed strategy aligns with this broader market evolution and builds upon it with a historic first for OTC markets.

    “We see tokenization as not just a technology upgrade, but as a core shift in how public companies interact with shareholders, access capital, and create transparency,” said Steven Maik, CTO of Everything Blockchain.

    “Robinhood’s move validates what we’ve been planning for months,” added Arthur Rozenberg, CEO of Everything Blockchain. “As the first OTC company to take this step, we’re pioneering a new frontier for retail investors and opening entirely new possibilities for how public companies can operate on blockchain infrastructure.”

    Industry Momentum Confirms Historic Opportunity

    EBZT is evaluating strategic opportunities within the tokenization ecosystem and intends to explore potential collaboration frameworks with leading platforms including Superstate and xStockFi as it develops its on-chain infrastructure.

    Massive Market Projections

    • $24 Trillion Market: HSBC forecasts tokenized assets could reach 10% of global GDP by 2027
    • $3.3 Trillion Crypto Market: Current cryptocurrency market capitalization continues growing
    • Retail Demand: Infrastructure requirements accelerating as retail investors seek 24/7 access

    EBZT’s plan to become the first OTC company to tokenize its equity while building a public blockchain treasury positions the company at the center of this global financial transformation.

    Backed by Strategic Crypto Treasury Plan

    Tokenization is just one part of EBZT’s board-approved strategy. The company also plans to build a diversified crypto treasury, focused on owning and staking five of the fastest-growing blockchain networks:

    • Solana (SOL) – high-speed DeFi and NFT platform
    • XRP (Ripple) – global payments and settlement
    • Hyperliquid (HYPE) – emerging decentralized exchange
    • Bittensor (TAO) – decentralized AI protocol
    • Sui (SUI) – next-gen smart contract platform

    The goal is to build a blockchain-native treasury that generates income from validator rewards and protocol incentives. Execution will begin once funding is secured.

    Historic Market Leadership

    As traditional financial markets increasingly embrace blockchain technology, EBZT’s dual strategy of being the first OTC tokenization and crypto treasury development creates unprecedented value drivers:

    Historic First-Mover Advantage

    • Pioneer Status: The first OTC company to fully tokenize equity
    • Uncharted Territory: Opening entirely new market category for retail investors
    • Market Leadership: Setting the standard for OTC blockchain integration

    Strategic Value Drivers

    • Diversified Exposure: Direct ownership of leading blockchain networks focused on Solana’s ecosystem
    • Operational Innovation: Enhanced shareholder experience through cutting-edge technology
    • Market Validation: Strategy aligned with major institutional players but first in OTC space

    Retail Investor Benefits

    • Access to Innovation: First opportunity to own tokenized OTC equity
    • Crypto Exposure: Diversified blockchain treasury provides crypto market exposure through Solana-focused strategy
    • 24/7 Flexibility: Trade on your schedule, not market hours

    The convergence of these trends positions EBZT to capture massive value from the broader transformation of global financial infrastructure while giving retail investors unprecedented access to both tokenized equity and crypto treasury exposure powered by Solana’s high-performance blockchain.

  • MIL-OSI: Hut 8 Secures Five-Year Capacity Contracts with IESO for 310 MW of Power Generation Assets

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    MIAMI, July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hut 8 Corp. (Nasdaq | TSX: HUT) (“Hut 8” or the “Company”), an energy infrastructure platform integrating power, digital infrastructure, and compute at scale to fuel next-generation, energy-intensive use cases such as Bitcoin mining and high-performance computing, today announced that each of its four natural gas-fired power plants in Ontario (collectively, the “Portfolio”) has been awarded a five-year capacity contract with the Ontario Independent Electricity System Operator (“IESO”). The Portfolio is owned and operated by Far North Power Corp. (“Far North”), an entity formed by Hut 8 and Macquarie Equipment Finance Ltd. (“Macquarie”), a subsidiary of Macquarie Group Limited, a global financial services group.

    The contracts were awarded to Far North following successful bids submitted into the competitive IESO Medium-Term 2 (“MT2”) capacity auction and will commence on May 1, 2026. The contracted assets total 310 MW of nameplate capacity across four sites: Iroquois Falls, Kingston, Kapuskasing, and North Bay. The contracts include a weighted average capacity payment of approximately CAD $530 per MW-business day in Year 1 with partial inflation indexation that allows for potential increases over time.

    “Securing these contracts is a testament to the commercial and regulatory fluency of our power-native team,” said Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8. “It reflects our proactive approach to portfolio management and our focus on identifying value-accretive opportunities to maximize returns on our Power assets.”

    “This milestone for Far North is affirmation of the business and our relationship with Hut 8,” said Joshua Stevens, Managing Director in Macquarie Group’s Commodities and Global Markets business. “These contracts position the Far North power plants in Ontario for long-term relevance in a capacity-constrained power market, demonstrating the value we strive to bring as a capital provider.”

    Transaction Highlights

    • Creditworthy Offtaker: Government-backed counterparty rated AA3 (Positive) by Moody’s
    • Cash Flow Stabilization: Transition from short-term seasonal capacity agreements to fixed five-year contracts enhances revenue certainty and reduces earnings volatility
    • Upside Potential: Additional cash flow potential through energy sales into the Ontario market, where IESO projects 75% electricity demand growth by 2050 and a capacity shortfall of up to 5.8 GW by 2030, supporting increased reliance on existing dispatchable assets

    About Hut 8 

    Hut 8 Corp. is an energy infrastructure platform integrating power, digital infrastructure, and compute at scale to fuel next-generation, energy-intensive use cases such as Bitcoin mining and high-performance computing.

  • MIL-OSI: DVO Real Estate’s David Valger Decodes Multifamily Sector Opportunities On Navatar’s A-Game Podcast: Trump Tariffs, Macroeconomic Trends, Valuations, Salesforce CRM, AI

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NEW YORK and LONDON, July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The newest episode of Navatar A-Game features an insightful conversation with David Valger, President of DVO Real Estate, who shares why now may be one of the most attractive times to invest in multifamily real estate—despite uncertainty in the market.

    Hosted by Alok Misra, CEO of Navatar, the episode dives deep into macroeconomic trends, political risk, capital allocation, and how emerging technologies like AI are influencing deal-making and portfolio management in real estate.

    “We are in a historically low spot of valuation,” said Valger. “Cap rates are up, net operating income is down, and capital has been on pause. If you can make a deal work today without betting on cap rate compression or rent growth—you preserve the optionality to outperform when the cycle turns.”

    Key themes explored in the episode include:

    Supply-Demand Imbalance Sets the Stage for Rent Growth

    Valger points out that while multifamily has faced a temporary glut of new supply in high-growth markets, development starts have plummeted due to interest rate hikes and material costs. As a result, the U.S. may face a multifamily unit shortfall of 800,000 to 1 million units over the next 3–5 years, fueling long-term rent growth.

    “Demand is rising. Single-family homes are increasingly unaffordable. If supply stalls, as we expect, rents will climb significantly—even if the Fed doesn’t lower rates immediately,” Valger noted.

    Dislocated Pricing Creates Opportunity for Disciplined Buyers

    As both net operating income (NOI) and cap rates have moved unfavorably, multifamily valuations have fallen. But for investors with dry powder and a long-term view, that creates a rare opportunity to acquire high-quality assets at a discount.

    “You don’t need to underwrite for a home run to end up hitting one,” Valger said. “If you buy right and manage well, the optionality for outperformance is baked in.”

    Tariffs & Trade Policy: Hidden Drivers of Development Economics

    The discussion tackles the Trump administration’s evolving tariff policy and its likely effect on construction materials and development. While some see tariffs as a risk, Valger believes they will raise the cost of entry for less experienced operators and developers—ultimately benefiting firms with strong operations and sourcing capabilities.

    “We’re already well-positioned on cost controls and sourcing. If tariffs raise the bar, it only strengthens the advantage for disciplined investors.”

    Technology & AI: Real Estate’s Next Competitive Edge

    Valger shares how DVO Real Estate is beginning to experiment with AI to improve investor communication and surface distressed opportunities faster.

    “AI can help us identify assets at risk, find signals in data, and make our time more impactful. That’s where the real promise lies.”

    Navatar: Enabling the Future of Private Market Deal-Making

    Throughout the episode, Alok Misra and Valger highlight how technology like Navatar empowers firms to manage deal flow, fundraising, and investor relationships with greater speed and insight—something especially critical in times of market dislocation.

    “We’re seeing a shift. Executives want more than just reporting—they want insights. Navatar is building for that future, bringing together CRM, AI, and deal intelligence in ways that real estate and private equity firms can finally act on,” said Misra.

  • MIL-OSI: Hyperscale Data Subsidiary Sentinum is Resuming Bitcoin Mining at Montana Facility

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LAS VEGAS, July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), a diversified holding company (“Hyperscale Data” or the “Company”), today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Sentinum, Inc. (“Sentinum”), has completed the reenergizing of approximately 10 megawatts of power at its Montana facility and is resuming Bitcoin mining operations. Sentinum expects to have approximately 50 S19j Pro Antminers (“Antminers”) in operation today, which will be increased to approximately 2,600 within the next week. Sentinum anticipates increasing operations to full capacity of approximately 3,200 Antminers by the end of July 2025.

    The resumption of Bitcoin mining operations in Montana follows months of strategic planning and execution by the Sentinum team and is aimed at improving profitability and capitalizing on underutilized power at Sentinum’s Montana site.

    “We are excited to announce the resumption of Bitcoin mining operations in Montana and are happy with the execution from the Sentinum team,” stated Will Horne, Chief Executive Officer of Hyperscale Data. “This year, the appreciation of Bitcoin has slightly outpaced the increase in the difficulty to mine Bitcoin. Bringing Bitcoin mining operations back online in Montana will help with Sentinum’s operational flexibility while increasing top line revenues and capitalizing on the recent appreciation in the price of Bitcoin.”

    For more information on Hyperscale Data and its subsidiaries, Hyperscale Data recommends that stockholders, investors and any other interested parties read Hyperscale Data’s public filings and press releases available under the Investor Relations section at hyperscaledata.com or available at www.sec.gov.

    About Hyperscale Data, Inc.

    Through its wholly owned subsidiary Sentinum, Hyperscale Data owns and operates a data center at which it mines digital assets and offers colocation and hosting services for the emerging artificial intelligence (“AI”) ecosystems and other industries. Hyperscale Data’s other wholly owned subsidiary, Ault Capital Group, Inc. (“ACG”), is a diversified holding company pursuing growth by acquiring undervalued businesses and disruptive technologies with a global impact.

    Hyperscale Data expects to divest itself of ACG on or about December 31, 2025 (the “Divestiture”). Upon the occurrence of the Divestiture, the Company would solely be an owner and operator of data centers to support high-performance computing services, though it may at that time continue to operate in the digital asset space as described in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Until the Divestiture occurs, the Company will continue to provide, through ACG and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries and strategic investments, mission-critical products that support a diverse range of industries, including an AI software platform, social gaming platform, equipment rental services, defense/aerospace, industrial, automotive, medical/biopharma and hotel operations. In addition, ACG is actively engaged in private credit and structured finance through a licensed lending subsidiary. Hyperscale Data’s headquarters are located at 11411 Southern Highlands Parkway, Suite 190, Las Vegas, NV 89141.

    On December 23, 2024, the Company issued one million (1,000,000) shares of a newly designated Series F Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”) to all common stockholders and holders of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis. The Divestiture will occur through the voluntary exchange of the Series F Preferred Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of ACG (collectively, the “ACG Shares”). The Company reminds its stockholders that only those holders of the Series F Preferred Stock who agree to surrender such shares, and do not properly withdraw such surrender, in the exchange offer through which the Divestiture will occur, will be entitled to receive the ACG Shares and consequently be stockholders of ACG upon the occurrence of the Divestiture.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: More than 700 dogs from city shelters have found homes since the beginning of the year

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Over the past six months, more than 700 dogs kept in 13 city shelters have found a new home. Most of the animals met their owners in the Southern (177 dogs), South-Eastern (174 dogs) and North-Eastern (151 dogs) administrative districts of the capital. This was reported on International Dog Day, which is annually celebrated on July 2 in some countries, by the Moscow City Services Complex.

    Love at first sight

    The timid dog Kapa arrived at the municipal shelter for homeless animals “Solntsevo” of the Western Administrative District last fall. In less than a year, her life changed dramatically. At the shelter, Kapa met her future owner and won her over at first sight.

    In a short time, Kapa mastered the elevator, the stairs and learned the walking regime. At home, the animal behaves perfectly, as befits a well-mannered dog. She has another friend – a cat.

    The perfect companion for hiking and river rafting

    Smiling Jenny, a dog from the municipal shelter of the South-West Administrative District, also went home.

    “My sweet Jennie, a favorite, a smart girl, a helper, has finally found owners and has been living as a house dog for three months. In all these years, the shelter had only once expressed interest in her, and that was unsuccessful. And then suddenly some guys showed up – without much experience, hesitant, but very fond of this dog. For a month and a half, they came every weekend, walked Jennie, fed her. At first, the dog did not make contact, did not want to walk, refused to eat. But the guys persistently came with treats. And the ice melted, Jennie warmed up to them, greeted them with joy, walked for a long time and with pleasure. Finally, she went home,” recalls volunteer guardian Yana Sviryakina.

    Jeni immediately accepted the rules of living in the apartment: the toilet is strictly outside, she does not damage things, she respects the cat. She rides in the car perfectly, walks on a leash, but is still a little afraid of large cars. And recently Jeni went on her first trip with rafting on the river.

    Become the master

    Currently, there are over 15,000 animals living in 13 city shelters. You can visit them without an appointment on working days. You must have a passport with you. All animals are socialized, healthy and vaccinated.

    In addition, you can meet a cheerful and friendly little tail at animal adoption exhibitions, which are regularly held in the capital.

    The next one will be held on Saturday, July 5, from 11:00 to 17:00 at the site next to the Museum of Moscow Municipal Economy at VDNKh. 25 dogs and cats fromcity shelters “Zelenograd” and “Zoorassvet” State Budgetary Institution “Dorinvest”.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: A residential complex will be built on the banks of the Skhodnya River as part of the KRT project to implement the renovation program

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Two areas in the Yuzhnoye Tushino and Pokrovskoe-Streshnevo districts will be reorganized under the integrated territorial development program (ITD). The corresponding draft resolution published on the mos.ru portal. This was reported by the Minister of the Moscow Government, Head of the Department of Urban Development Policy Vladislav Ovchinsky.

    The project for the integrated development of territories in the North-West Administrative District is aimed at implementing a renovation program.

    “The two sites subject to redevelopment, with a total area of 5.08 hectares, are located in different areas of the district – Yuzhnoye Tushino and Pokrovskoe-Streshnevo, but in close proximity to each other. They are separated by the Skhodnya River. A new residential complex will be built on its banks in accordance with the high standards of the renovation program. Its total area will be 130.6 thousand square meters, and the area of the apartments will be approximately 81 thousand square meters. Due to the placement of shops, cafes and other small and medium-sized businesses on the ground floors, about 500 jobs will also be created here,” said Vladislav Ovchinsky.

    The plots are located in Pokhodny and 2nd Tushinsky Proezd. The natural monument “Skhodnensky Ladle” is a 15-minute walk away. Volokolamsk Highway is nearby. The picturesque area will be further improved, including areas for walking and recreation, children’s and sports grounds. There are several schools, kindergartens and medical institutions near the future new buildings. The project is planned to be implemented within six years.

    Earlier, within the framework of the KRT project, it was also planned to construct a building for the college on this territory with an area of 33 thousand square meters. Later, the city decided to increase its area and build it within the framework of the Targeted Investment Program.

    According to the program of integrated development of territories, multifunctional city blocks are being created, where roads, comfortable housing and all necessary infrastructure are being designed on the site of former industrial zones and inefficiently used areas. Currently, 302 KRT projects with a total area of about 4.2 thousand hectares are at various stages of development and implementation in Moscow. This work is being carried out on behalf of Sergei Sobyanin.

    Renovation program approved in August 2017. It concerns about a million Muscovites and provides for the resettlement of 5,176 houses. Earlier, the Mayor of Moscow ordered to increase the pace of implementation of the program in twice.

    Moscow is one of the leaders among regions in terms of construction volumes. High rates of housing construction correspond to the goals and initiatives of the national project “Infrastructure for life”.

    Background

    As the 2030 Agenda enters the final stretch for implementation with only 17% of the SDGs on track, the escalating impact of disasters continues to jeopardize progress, and threatens to reverse hard-won development gains. From 2015 to 2023, direct economic loss worldwide has been reported to exceed US$ 1.1 trillion in total1, with an even higher toll in terms of human lives as well as economic, social and environmental impacts. Recent Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) and the 2025 Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), have highlighted both the obstacles and opportunities for a risk-informed approach to sustainable development.

    This side event will delve into the key takeaways from the Global Platform for DRR, revealing priorities for the effective implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. Using insights from the VNRs, the event will also explore practical ways to strengthen the coherence between sustainable development and disaster risk reduction.

    The discussion will focus on advancing next steps to strengthen national and international disaster risk reduction efforts in an evolving risk landscape. It will spotlight transformative actions and accelerated solutions, building on the main findings and calls to action from the Geneva Call for Disaster Risk Reduction and the 2025 ECOSOC High-Level Political Forum.

    On 3 July 2025, ENVI Members will vote on their opinion for the AFET/INTA-led report on the implementation of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, focusing on the Committee’s areas of competence

    The EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA), in force since 2021, governs post-Brexit relations in many policy areas, including on trade, energy, transport, fisheries, and climate and environmental cooperation. In March 2025, the European Commission published its 2023 implementation report, outlining progress and challenges. In areas under ENVI’s remit, the report notes continued cooperation on emissions trading and offshore renewable energy, and highlights UK legislative changes to its Emissions Trading Scheme, which the Commission continues to monitor. It also flags divergence in the UK’s chemicals policy (UK REACH) from EU REACH. Following this, the AFET and INTA committees launched its periodical own-initiative implementation report. ENVI is one of 11 committees authorised to contribute an opinion, providing input within its area of competence. ENVI Members tabled 245 amendments to the draft opinion, with nine compromise amendments negotiated ahead of the vote.

    On 7 July, Commissioner Roswall will present the 2025 Water Resilience Strategy to the ENVI Committee. The strategy supports the EU’s 2050 water vision outlined at the 2023 UN Water Conference and reflects the Commission’s prioritisation of water resilience. It is also a reaction to the European Parliament own-initiative report on the European Water Resilience Strategy put forward by the ENVI Committee in May this year. The strategy is built around three pillars: restoring and protecting the water cycle by implementing existing EU laws like the Water Framework Directive and Nature Restoration Regulation; building a water-smart economy by boosting sustainability and water efficiency, supported by an EU-wide goal to improve efficiency by 2030; and securing clean, affordable water and sanitation for all. The strategy aims to safeguard water as a fundamental resource across all sectors.

    On 7 July, ENVI and IMCO members will vote on the report revising circularity requirements for vehicle design and improving end-of-life vehicle management.

    During a joint ENVI-IMCO meeting, members will vote on the report on the proposal of revision of circularity requirements for vehicle design and on management of end-of-life vehicles. The proposal aims to improve approval, market surveillance, and end-of-life management of vehicles. In total, 1929 amendments were tabled to the Commission proposal. They cover various aspects, such as the scope of the regulation, recycled content targets (including plastic, steel, and aluminium), vehicle passports, circularity strategy, extended producer responsibility, and vehicle reparability. Amendments also focus on the export and collection of used vehicles, preventing unnecessary scrappage, and addressing “missing vehicles” in illegal circuits that are not properly recycled.

  • MIL-OSI Europe: Highlights – ENVI and AGRI Members to discuss draft report on biological control agents – Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety

    Source: European Parliament

    On 3 July 2025, ENVI and AGRI Members will consider a draft own-initiative report calling for faster registration and uptake of biological control agents, in light of a forthcoming Commission proposal

    In a joint discussion, Members of the ENVI and AGRI Committees will examine the draft report by co-rapporteurs Alexander Bernhuber (EPP, ENVI) and Anna Strolenberg (Greens/EFA, AGRI) on ensuring faster registration and uptake of biological control agents. The report responds to the Commission’s upcoming legislative proposal, expected in Q4 2025, to facilitate the market access of biopesticides, as announced in the Communication “A Vision for Agriculture and Food.” The co-rapporteurs call for a legal definition of biological control agents and a framework for their accelerated authorisation to enhance legal certainty, foster investment in sustainable alternatives and prevent market fragmentation. They stress the need for a fast-track procedure, financial support, and increased knowledge exchange and capacity-building regarding both approval processes and Integrated Pest Management. ENVI and AGRI Members will now submit amendments, with a vote foreseen in the October II plenary.

  • MIL-OSI Europe: Written question – Mass electoral complaints led by politicians from Poland’s ruling coalition – P-002571/2025

    Source: European Parliament

    Priority question for written answer  P-002571/2025
    to the Commission
    Rule 144
    Arkadiusz Mularczyk (ECR)

    The weeks following the Polish presidential election results have seen mass electoral complaints. Led by Roman Giertych, member of the Sejm whose supporters are called ‘Giertychówkis’, the complaints are aimed at sowing chaos and undermining the democratic election of our new head of state.

    Up to 90 % of the 50 000 complaints are faulty or duplicates, making them unlikely to be considered. Many of the people submitting complaints used Giertych’s PESEL identification number instead of their own. In addition, Michał Wawrykiewicz MEP created a template that was used to submit several thousand complaints.

    Prime Minister Donald Tusk also joined the campaign, suggesting that votes should be recounted despite the lack of any relevant precedence or legal basis.

    Taking the Commission’s self-proclaimed commitment to the rule of law and respect for independent democratic election processes in Member States into account:

    • 1.Is the Commission aware of the fact that the democratic election of the Polish President is being undermined by Poland’s ruling coalition, which oversaw the election process and monitored every polling station?
    • 2.Will the Commission call on politicians in Poland’s current ruling coalition, including Prime Minister Donald Tusk, to not undermine the democratic will of the people of Poland and to not destroy the country’s legal order?
    • 3.Is the Commission aware of MEP Wawrykiewicz’s role in the mass submission of electoral complaints, which seeks to undermine the results of the election, and does it not consider such action to be unethical?

  • MIL-OSI Europe: Highlights – ENVI Members to Vote on Amendments on Battery Due Diligence Delay Proposal – Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety

    Source: European Parliament

    On 3 July 2025, ENVI Members will vote on amendments to a Commission proposal delaying the application of new due diligence rules for battery materials, following the decision to apply the simplified procedure

    As part of the fourth Omnibus Simplification Package adopted on 21 May 2025, the Commission proposed to amend Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 to postpone the application of due diligence obligations concerning the sourcing, processing and trading of cobalt, natural graphite, lithium and nickel used in battery manufacturing. While these obligations are currently set to apply from 18 August 2025, the Commission proposes to delay their application by two years and the publication of implementing guidelines by 17 months, due to slower-than-expected designation of notified conformity assessment bodies. The aim is to give economic operators sufficient time to comply and ensure consistency with the timeline of the Corporate Sustainable Due Diligence Directive. On 4 June, coordinators agreed to apply the simplified procedure under Rule 52(2) to allow for a faster adoption of the proposal. As a result, ENVI Members will now vote on 22 amendments tabled, including two rejecting the proposal.

  • MIL-OSI Europe: Written question – Protection of the Sixena murals and EU cultural heritage safeguards – E-002541/2025

    Question for written answer  E-002541/2025
    to the Commission
    Rule 144
    Diana Riba i Giner (Verts/ALE)

    The European Union plays a supportive and complementary role in preserving and promoting Europe’s cultural heritage, as outlined in the European Framework for Action on Cultural Heritage[1]. This framework promotes evidence-based decision-making and urges Member States to protect fragile heritage from irreversible damage, including threats resulting from human actions.

    The case of the Romanesque murals from the Monastery of Sixena raises serious concerns. Severely damaged by fire during the Spanish Civil War, the murals were rescued and have since been preserved, studied, and permanently exhibited at the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya (MNAC). Experts warn that their forced relocation, following a court ruling, could cause irreparable harm. MNAC itself has declared the transfer technically unfeasible.

    • 1.In the light of the objectives and recommendations set out in the European Framework for Action on Cultural Heritage, does the Commission consider that the relocation of the Sixena murals, despite expert warnings, is consistent with the EU’s strategic approach to safeguarding fragile and endangered cultural heritage?
    • 2.Given that cultural heritage protection is also an EU responsibility under the Treaties, what tools or mechanisms can the Commission provide to help prevent actions that may lead to the destruction of irreplaceable assets, and will it engage with the competent authorities to ensure their protection?
