Everything you need to put InvestIn.News in a deck, an article, a partner page or a conference banner. Use it as supplied. If what you need is not here, ask rather than improvise - write to contact@investin.news.

The logo

Primary lockup with taglinePNG · for light backgrounds
Dark lockup with taglinePNG · for dark backgrounds
Mark onlyPNG · avatars, favicons, app icons

The lockup with the tagline is the default, and it is what runs in our own header and footer. Use the mark alone only where the name already appears next to it, or where the space is too small for the wordmark to be legible - a social avatar, a favicon, an app tile.

The tagline

How to Set It

Capital P on People, capital AI, no full stop. Set in Montserrat Bold with 0.18em letter-spacing, always in brand green - never inside the logo artwork itself.

In the stacked lockup it sits centred beneath the wordmark, separated by a hairline the width of the wordmark, at roughly a quarter of the wordmark’s height. Do not translate it, do not shorten it, and do not use it in place of the name.

The Rules

Leave clear space on all four sides equal to x, the height of the brain mark. Nothing sits inside it - no text, no rules, no other logos, no page edge.

Minimum, screen30px tallMinimum, print12mm tallMark alone24px tall

What not to do

Do not stretch, squash or rotate it. Scale proportionally, always.
Do not recolour it. There is one light version and one dark version.
Do not place it on a busy or mid-tone background. Use a solid field.
Do not add shadows, glows, outlines, bevels or gradients.
Do not rebuild the wordmark in type, and never put a space before News.
Do not lock the mark to another name, product or tagline.

What We Will Not Do With Paid Articles

RequestAnswerWhy
Remove the paid labelNoRequired by Google’s policies and by advertising law in most of our markets. It is also why readers trust the rest of the site.
Put a paid piece in the NewsDesk feedNoThe NewsDesk carries third-party journalism only. Mixing paid content in would put Google News inclusion at risk.
Guarantee a ranking or traffic figureNoNobody can honestly promise that. We report the actual numbers at 30 days instead.
Publish price predictions or guaranteed returnsNoFinancial promotion rules, and the fastest way to lose an AdSense account.
Sell a dofollow linkNoPaid links are marked rel="sponsored". Selling link equity is a manual-action risk for both of us.
Take a piece down after publicationSometimesLegal or factual problems, yes, quickly. Buyer’s remorse, no - but we will publish an update.

Header Banner

Above the fold
970 × 90

Sits directly under the price tape and above the first headline, so it is the first thing in the scroll on every page. One advertiser at a time - no rotation, no second slot competing with it.

Monthly impressions~1.9MViewability82%From$2,400 / mo

Footer Banner

End of page
970 × 90

Runs after the content and before the site footer. It reaches readers who finished a piece rather than bounced, which is why it converts better per impression even though it is seen less often.

Creative Specification

ItemWhat We Need From You
File typesStatic JPG, PNG or WebP, or an HTML5 bundle. Animated GIF accepted. No Flash, no video with sound, no auto-expanding units.
Weight150KB for static, 300KB for HTML5 including every asset. We do not compress on your behalf - a heavy creative slows the page and gets pulled.
ResolutionSupply at 2×, so 1940 × 180 for the 970 × 90. We downscale; we never upscale.
AnimationFifteen seconds maximum, three loops maximum, then rest on a readable end frame. Nothing flashing faster than 3Hz.
Safe areaKeep your logo and any legal text 12px inside every edge. The slot has a 14px corner radius and it clips.
Landing pageHTTPS, no interstitial, no forced app-store redirect, loads in under three seconds on 4G.
TrackingThird-party tags accepted from Google Ad Manager, Adform and Flashtalking. One impression pixel and one click tracker per creative.
Lead timeThree business days before launch. Mid-flight replacements go live within 24 hours at no charge.

How We Run the Slots

One Advertiser per Slot

No rotation and no programmatic backfill in a booked slot. You get the whole share of voice for the period you paid for, which is why the price is flat rather than a CPM.

Labelled, Always

Both slots carry an Advertisement label and an AD marker on the creative, and links are tagged rel="sponsored". We will not remove either, for the same reason we will not remove the paid label on an article.

Reported Honestly

A monthly report with served impressions, viewable impressions to the IAB standard, clicks and click-through rate. If a month underdelivers we extend the flight rather than invoice the shortfall.

What We Will Not Run

CategoryReason
Guaranteed returns, signal groups, hundred-times tokensFinancial promotion rules in our main markets, and the surest way to lose an AdSense account.
Presale or airdrop creatives with a wallet-connect landing pageThe pattern is used often enough by drainers that we treat the whole category as unsafe.
Countdown timers, fake close buttons, fake system alertsDeceptive creative. It gets the slot pulled with no refund.
Anything that mimics our own interfaceA reader must never mistake an advertisement for a headline. That is the entire point of the separation.
Unlicensed brokers, gambling in regulated markets, adult contentLicensing and policy exposure we are not willing to carry.

Profile

About

Keshav founded InvestIn.News and still covers mining economics, listed bitcoin treasuries and the plumbing underneath both. He spent eight years on commodities - power, gas and freight - before moving across, and most of his reporting still starts with a supply contract rather than a chart.

He works from Bengaluru and files in English. Tips about hashrate deals, power purchase agreements and anything filed in a footnote are welcome.

What Our Summary Says

  • As of 13 Sep 2026, futures put an 86.5% chance on a 25bp increase at the 15–16 September meeting.
  • It would be the first hike in three years, and the first with spot ETFs in the market.
  • Bitcoin gave back the golden-cross rally; perp funding turned negative on three venues.

Those three lines are everything we generate for an item on the stream. We do not reproduce the publisher’s text and we do not add reporting of our own here. For the detail and the sourcing, go to CoinDesk.

Inside the Treasury Companies Quietly Turning Into Miners

Four listed bitcoin holders added hashrate this quarter without announcing a strategy change. The filings show why, and what it does to the risk investors were originally sold.

KAKeshav Aggarwal·Markets desk 13 Sep 2026 · 9 min read

← Back to Originals

Key Takeaways

  • Four treasury companies bought or leased hashrate since June, disclosed only in footnotes.
  • Three give the same reason: turning an idle balance sheet into an operating one before a refinancing.
  • It changes the security. A holder trades at a premium to net asset value; a miner trades on margins.

The disclosure is easy to miss. On page 41 of a quarterly filing, one of the largest listed bitcoin holders records a ten-year power purchase agreement and an equipment lease for roughly 0.6 exahash. Nothing in the release mentions it. Three of its peers have made similar moves since June.

Why a holder starts mining

A treasury company’s problem is that its only line of business is holding. When the premium to net asset value compresses, the share price stops being a financing tool, and the convertible notes that funded the position come due anyway. Operating cashflow fixes that. Mining is the fastest operating business a holder can buy, because the input it needs most is the thing it already has.

Once you own the machines you are no longer a proxy for the asset. You are a manufacturer with one customer and one input price.

The risk nobody is pricing

Two of the four have hedged power but not difficulty. If network hashrate keeps growing at this year’s pace, the marginal machine on those contracts stops covering its own electricity somewhere near a 22% increase from here. None of the four disclose a difficulty sensitivity.

What to Watch Next

  • Whether the next quarterly moves these leases from footnotes into segment reporting.
  • Any change in how index providers classify the four companies.
  • The refinancing calendar. Three have notes maturing before the end of next year.

Who from our desk is there

  • Keshav Aggarwal, Markets desk · will be on site for the full run of the event.
  • Editors in the newsroom pick up filings from the floor and publish them the same day, labelled as event coverage.
  • We attend as press. We do not accept travel, tickets or speaking fees from organisers or sponsors.

Everything in this piece was heard in the room or checked against the organiser’s published agenda. Where a speaker corrected or walked back a claim later in the event, the later version is the one we report.

Sessions we are covering

  • Main-stage keynotes and any session where a listed company, issuer or regulator speaks on the record.
  • Treasury, custody and settlement tracks, where most of the claims that move a price get made.
  • Hallway and side-event conversations, reported only when the speaker agrees to be quoted or paraphrased.

How to read event coverage

Claims made on stage are reported as claims, with the speaker and session named. We check what we can against filings and on-chain data before publishing, and mark anything we could not verify. Announcements timed to the event are treated the same as any other press release: summarised, credited and linked, never republished.

The company says the service targets marketplaces and digital-goods sellers that hold euro balances but lack an EU entity. Pricing starts at 0.4% per settled transaction with no monthly minimum.

Availability

The service is live for existing customers and opens to new applicants in October. Merchants must complete standard onboarding checks. Company statements in this section are reproduced as supplied.

Editorial and AI Policy

How Aggregation Works

We ingest public RSS and API feeds. For each item we store the headline, publisher, publication time and link, then generate a two-sentence summary and a direction tag. We never store or display article bodies.

Where AI Is Used

Summaries, direction tags and topic classification are automated and labelled on every item. Editors spot-check a sample daily. Originals are written by named people and contain no AI-generated text; if that changes it will be disclosed on the article.

Corrections

If a summary misrepresents the source we fix it and note the change on the item. If a publisher updates or withdraws a story we follow within one business day. Write to contact@investin.news.

Ownership

InvestIn.News is published by BitWorld Media INC, a company registered in the United States. It is funded by advertising, paid placements and syndication. No exchange, token issuer or fund holds equity. Staff disclose holdings and may not trade an asset they have written about within 72 hours.

Using our feeds

Credit the Publisher

Wire items are our summary of somebody else’s reporting. The source and link fields name them. If you republish the item, credit them, not us.

Keep the Labels

The AI-summary and paid labels travel with every item. Stripping them is the one thing that will get an integration blocked.

Tell Us What Breaks

Malformed dates, a wrong category, a feed that stops moving — write to contact@investin.news and we fix it the same day.

Style Guide

Token names match the Figma variable names one for one. Two modes, identical keys. Nothing gets coloured by hand.

Brand - the only saturated colour on the site

brand-navy#18155C
brand-green#43AB3A

Navy belongs to the wordmark. It is not a text colour, not a button, not a background. That is the change from the first pass: when navy ran the whole page the logo stopped reading as a mark and became part of the furniture.

Type - Montserrat, one family, four weights

Rate-hike odds hit 86%
Stream headline · 19 / 700 / −2.4%
Summary · 13.5 / 400 / 1.5, clamped to two lines. If it needs three, the summary is wrong.
BTC 77,312 −1.24%
ETH  2,411 +0.42%

Montserrat sets wide, so display sizes come down a notch and tracking tightens to −3%. Figures use the tabular-numeral feature everywhere they sit in a column - the tape, the widgets and the assets table - so digits never jitter as prices update.

Logo

Two files, same artwork. The light file runs on paper and canvas; the dark file recolours the navy to near-white and lifts the green so the mark survives on a dark page. Minimum height 30px, clear space equal to the height of the brain mark on every side.

Images and avatars

Story Image Fallback

Most RSS feeds ship no image. When that happens the slot shows a brand gradient, the mark as a watermark and the source domain in a pill - never a grey box with a broken icon. Real images are 16:9 for the stream, 5:4 for the hero, minimum 1200px wide, and are cropped centre by default.

Avatar

KA

Monogram until a photograph exists, then the photograph drops into the same circle. Supply square, 400px minimum, face centred, on a plain background. The six gradient tints are assigned in order of joining and never reused for a new hire while the previous holder is on the page.

Widgets - four shapes cover every market panel

Gauge

A bounded index: Fear & Greed, altseason, dominance shift.

Trend

A single figure with a sparkline and one comparison period.

Every widget is the same box: a 12.5px label row, one large figure, supporting detail, then a footer of two or three comparisons on a hairline. Swapping the middle for a gauge, a sparkline, a dominance bar or a list is the only variation allowed - that is what keeps a wall of panels from turning into a dashboard nobody reads.

Source stack - the one component built for aggregation

Monograms are 28px, overlapped by 9px, ordered newest-last so the first filer sits on top. It tells a reader how big a story is before they read a word - the one thing an aggregator can show that a single publisher cannot.
