2 hours ago

December 19th — According to the Financial Times (FT), Northern Data, the AI data center firm linked to Tether, has sold its Bitcoin mining arm Peak Mining to entities controlled by Tether co-founders Giancarlo Devasini and CEO Paolo Ardoino (including Highland Group Mining and 2750418 Alberta ULC) for up to $200 million. Days after that transaction was announced, Rumble — the conservative social media platform backed by Tether’s parent company (which holds nearly 50% of Northern Data’s shares) — agreed to acquire Northern Data for approximately $767 million. Earlier this year, Northern Data was hit with a surprise EU investigation over allegations of large-scale tax fraud; the company denied the claims and stated it was cooperating with the probe.

**December 19 – Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda told an afternoon monetary policy press conference today that Japan’s economy is showing mild weakness but remains in a modest recovery. The BOJ will keep raising its policy rate if the economy and prices improve as expected.** **The latest hike pushes Japan’s benchmark interest rate from 0.50% to 0.75% — the highest level since 1995, ending the country’s 30-year era of ultra-low rates. Kuroda noted the 30-year short-term rate high has no special meaning, adding the BOJ will closely track the latest rate change’s impact.** **For future moves, Kuroda said the pace of monetary adjustment depends on economic, price and financial outlooks. There’s still a gap from the lower end of the neutral interest rate range, and the BOJ hasn’t seen the strong tightening effect seen in prior hikes.
