A recent essay from Satoshi Pacioli Accounting draws on Abraham Maslow’s human-centered management theories to challenge traditional top-down approaches to workplace motivation. The piece argues that disengagement often stems less from laziness than from unmet psychological needs. “What a man can be, he must be,” Maslow wrote, framing self-actualization as a central driver of growth. The article outlines five principles: employees seek growth that extends into work; they crave responsibility; belonging and esteem fuel motivation; self-actualization emerges through creative, challenging tasks; and transcendence arises when work ties to a larger mission. This guidance suggests leaders should decentralize responsibility, connect individual contributions to shared purpose, and view autonomy as a motivator rather than a threat. For Bitcoin-focused organizations, the author notes, the industry’s transformative mission offers fertile ground for aligning work with deeper human aspirations.

The Trump administration is pressing Taiwan to shift half of its semiconductor production to the United States, tying the move to security guarantees against a potential Chinese invasion. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told NewsNation that with 95 percent of chips for smartphones, cars, and defense technology currently made in Taiwan, “if you can’t make your own chips, how can you defend yourself?” He described the plan to boost US output from 2 to 40 percent as “herculean,” conceding that “everybody tells me it’s impossible.” Analysts, including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, have warned supply chain independence could take decades, not years. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company has pledged $100 billion for US plants but keeps its most advanced nodes at home. Washington envisions workforce training and partial reliance on Taiwan, though the strategy risks undermining Taiwan’s “silicon shield” of international protection.

Federal agents raided a bitcoin mining facility in Pyote, Texas on Monday, detaining more than a dozen staff linked to Bitmain-affiliated ADW Tech, a certified Antminer repair center. According to Blockspace, the operation involved ICE, FBI, HSI, Texas DPS, and CBP, with helicopters and armed personnel on site. Sources said ICE focused on Chinese nationals working at the repair shop, several of whom allegedly lacked valid visas. While nearby operations like Genesis Digital Assets’ 195 MW site were unaffected, the incident highlights mounting federal scrutiny of bitcoin mining tied to Chinese firms. The raid follows months of ASIC import seizures by Customs and Border Protection, ostensibly tied to investigations of Bitmain-linked chipmaker Sophgo for potential sanctions violations. The crackdown suggests the Trump administration is embedding bitcoin mining into broader national security and industrial policy debates, intensifying risks for foreign-linked operators.

The Securities and Exchange Commission suspended trading of QMMM Holdings after the company’s share price surged more than 2,000% in September following its decision to buy digital assets. The Hong Kong-based digital advertising firm announced a $100 million digital asset treasury earlier this month, pushing shares to $119.40 before the halt. In a statement, the SEC cited “potential manipulation” linked to social media promotions that appeared designed to artificially inflate trading volume. Decrypt reported that the suspension will last until October 10 while the regulator investigates. The move reflects growing regulatory scrutiny of firms pivoting to digital asset treasuries, a trend that has triggered sudden spikes in stock prices. The Wall Street Journal noted that the SEC and FINRA have contacted over 200 companies in recent months over suspicious trading ahead of similar announcements, signaling tougher oversight of corporate Bitcoin adoption.
