New York – October 07, 2026 -- Arch Lending Co-Founder and CRO Himanshu Sahay used three separate corporate Bitcoin events in September to press institutional holders on a single question: when liquidity is needed, should they sell Bitcoin or borrow against it.

Sahay lists four questions borrowers must ask before signing a term sheet

At the invite-only Bitcoin Corporate Day in London on September 22, Sahay told corporates, funds and financial institutions to demand answers on four points before accepting a Bitcoin-backed loan: who holds the collateral keys, whether the collateral can be rehypothecated or reused, what specifically triggers a liquidation and whether it is partial or total, and what happens to the Bitcoin if the lender fails. The panel reviewed how institutional Bitcoin-backed credit mechanics have shifted since 2022.

Louisville, Colo. – October 07, 2026 -- Ninety-two percent of organizations reported at least one AI-related incident or exposure in the past 12 months, according to a new JumpCloud study of 250 IT leaders in the U.S. and U.K. titled "Enterprise AI Access Is Outpacing Control." More than half of organizations now deploy AI agents capable of changing systems, permissions, or files, yet 59% of those using such agents do not apply the same governance rules used for human employees.

Identity integration lags as AI agents gain system access

Only 41% of organizations using AI agents have fully folded those agents into the identity and access management (IAM) policies governing human users, the study found. The remaining 59% operate without full integration, leaving a structural gap between how human and machine identities are controlled.
