x/bending-spoons
— Sep 10, 2026
Bending Spoons S.p.A. has agreed to acquire Miro in an all-cash deal valuing Miro at an enterprise value of $1.355 billion, which, with Miro’s net cash, implies about $1.79 billion in equity, with some shareholders reinvesting $295 million into BSP equity; closing is targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026 subject to regulatory approvals. The transaction, unanimously approved by both boards, will see Miro continue to operate independently until closing as BSP expands its portfolio through continued acquisitions and integration of such platforms.

Nicaragua approves Ortega-backed reform banning opposition
x/daniel-ortega
— Aug 31, 2026
Nicaragua's National Assembly, controlled by the Sandinista Front, unanimously approved a constitutional reform that bars opponents labeled as traitors to the homeland or coup plotters from running and extends the presidential term from six to seven years, potentially enabling repeated rule by Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo. The reform, which still requires a second approval in 2027 to take full effect, has drawn condemnation from the United States, European Union, and human-rights groups who warn it could end competitive elections, with Ortega signaling there will be no elections.
