&#8220;With over three decades of experience in event planning, audio, and visual production, Idealize brings a wealth of industry knowledge and experience that aligns seamlessly with our core operations.

Earlier in May, Harrison Global had announced a business alliance with M-NEXT Holdings to leverage affiliated talent growth and drive store foot traffic. These moves are part of the company&#8217;s broader strategy to drive growth and innovation in its business.
On July 16, Harrison Global had announced an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/wiim/25/07/46404290/bloomz-shares-are-trading-higher-after-the-company-announced-it-is-partnering-with-hypercommunity-to">investment and strategic partnership</a> with Myth Korea.

The recent announcements of partnerships and planned acquisitions have been positively received by the market, as evidenced by the surge in the company&#8217;s stock value. These developments are indicative of the company&#8217;s growth and its efforts to strengthen its position in the market.

Hunter Biden is on a media blitz, aiming at Democrats he blames for his father's political collapse exactly one year after former president Joe Biden ended his re‑election bid, an anniversary that fell Monday.
What Happened: In the debut <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVqiWu1fLdg">episode</a> of "At Our Table," a new podcast hosted by former Democratic National Committee chair Jaime Harrison, the younger Biden said the party "lost the last election because we did not remain loyal to the leader of the party," accusing Democrats of squandering the advantages of incumbency and "an incredibly successful administration."
He rejected talk of a health cover‑up, insisting the &#8220;ability to keep a secret in Washington is zero."
Days later, he unleashed a three‑hour, profanity‑laced tirade on YouTuber Andrew Callaghan's "Channel 5" <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBbkt2vYC4M">program</a>, naming senior Biden adviser Anita Dunn, strategists David Axelrod and James Carville, CNN anchor Jake Tapper, the "Pod Save America" hosts and actor George Clooney among those who stepped on his father.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46535742/ex-trump-advisor-judy-shelton-slams-federal-reserves-900-billion-losses-says-violates-the-norms-to-have-a-fed-chair-who-cant-be-fired">Ex-Trump Advisor Judy Shelton Slams Federal Reserve&#8217;s $900 Billion Losses, Says &#8216;Violates The Norms&#8217; To Have A Fed Chair Who Can&#8217;t Be Fired</a>
He dismissed Clooney as "a brand" and Carville as someone who "hasn't run a race in 40 years," while claiming Axelrod's lone success was "because of Barack Obama."
Hunter also alleged campaign aides gave Biden the sleep aid Ambien before the disastrous June 2024 debate against Donald Trump, leaving the 81‑year‑old looking "like a deer in the headlights." Tapper, whose book on Biden's decline became a bestseller, was derided as having "the smallest audience on cable news."
Why It Matters: The outbursts come as some Democrats try to move past 2024's defeat. Party veterans note Biden's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39540268/trump-attacks-biden-defends-in-high-stakes-no-audience-debate-president-appears-to-freeze-and-fumble?">debate stumbles</a> , moderated by Tapper and Dana Bash, ignited calls for him to step aside, pressure that culminated in his July 21 withdrawal.
Biden later pardoned his son for tax and gun convictions, a move <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42330042/nancy-pelosi-stands-with-biden-on-hunter-pardon-i-support-the-president">defended by House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi</a> but criticized by activists who say similar clemency should <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42346107/critics-urge-biden-to-free-non-violent-pot-offenders-after-pardoning-son">extend to others</a>. Hunter Biden's scorched‑earth tour risks reopening those wounds.

Hunter Biden Blames Father Joe's Re-Election Loss On Democrats That Chose Not To 'Remain Loyal,' Rejects Health Cover Up Suggestions

Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) has raised its price target for Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stock as the investment bank is confident in Elon Musk's FSD ambitions.
Check out the current price of <a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/tsla">TSLA stock here</a>.
What Happened: In a new investor note released by the bank on Monday, BofA analysts stated that the EV giant faced more challenges compared to companies like General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>).
"Tesla is the most challenged among the three OEMs given disappointing deliveries, IRA incentives phasing out, and tariffs," analysts said before adding that the tariff exposure isn't "insignificant."
The analysts also said that the company's sales in the fourth quarter could be affected by the lack of IRA or Inflation Reduction Act incentives ($7,500 EV credit).
However, the analysts also said that the company's Robotaxi operations in Austin inspired confidence "on the promise to deliver unsupervised FSD by the end of 2025," and updated the Tesla price target to $341 from $305, an over 11% increase.
Why It Matters: The news comes as Piper Sandler analyst Alex Potter also hailed Tesla's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46536292/trumps-new-zev-credit-regulations-arent-as-bad-for-elon-musk-says-piper-sandler-tesla-will-still-book-around-3-billion">Robotaxi operations</a> as well as the company's plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46361254/elon-musks-robotaxi-push-expands-to-phoenix-as-tesla-seeks-arizona-approval">expand the service</a> into Phoenix and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46337340/elon-musk-says-tesla-will-expand-robotaxi-services-to-san-francisco-bay-area-in-a-month-or-two">San Francisco Bay Area</a>.
Tesla's FSD, however, could face increased scrutiny after President Donald Trump's NHTSA nominee, Jonathan Morrison, called for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46434613/elon-musks-tesla-could-face-stricter-oversight-as-trumps-nhtsa-pick-targets-autonomous-driving-cannot-sit-back">tougher oversight</a> on autonomous driving in the U.S.
Elsewhere, Tesla recently announced the company's Model 3 sedan had reached the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46512836/elon-musks-tesla-announces-3-million-model-3-units-sold-worldwide">3 million worldwide sales</a> milestone, despite the company's U.S. sales <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46436501/ev-prices-drop-2-8-in-june-as-incentives-surge-amid-tumbling-tesla-sales">dropping 12.6% YoY</a> in Q2 2025, according to data.

Bank Of America Sees 11% Upside For Tesla Stock Despite EV Credit Phase-Out, Tariff Risks: 'Promise To Deliver Unsupervised FSD'

Editor&#8217;s Note: This story has been updated to include comments from an Anthropic spokesperson.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei reportedly told employees that the company would seek funding from Middle-Eastern states despite ethical concerns, arguing that staying competitive in the global AI race requires access to massive capital, even if it empowers authoritarian regimes.
What Happened: Amodei told staff via Slack that the artificial intelligence startup backed by Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google would pursue <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45462404/trump-unveils-over-200-billion-worth-of-deals-with-uae-including-major-etihad-airways-commitment">investment from the United Arab Emirates</a> and Qatar, reversing its previous stance against accepting funds from authoritarian nations, <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/anthropic-dario-amodei-gulf-state-leaked-memo/">reported</a> Wired.
"Unfortunately, I think ‘No bad person should ever benefit from our success' is a pretty difficult principle to run a business on," Amodei wrote, acknowledging that such investments would likely enrich "dictators."
He admitted the move could appear hypocritical but framed it as necessary to remain on the AI frontier: "Without it, it is substantially harder to stay on the frontier."

Amodei cited the scale of available capital in the Middle East—upwards of $100 billion—as a driving force behind the decision. He said Anthropic aims to pursue "narrowly scoped, purely financial investment" to avoid granting foreign investors leverage.
An Anthropic spokesperson told the publication, "We believe fundamentally in sharing the benefits of AI and serve the Middle East and regions around the world commercially, in line with our Usage Policy."
An Anthropic spokesperson told <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a> in an emailed statement, &#8220;We believe fundamentally in sharing the benefits of AI and serve the Middle East and regions around the world commercially, in line with our Usage Policy.&#8221; Why It's Important: Anthropic's decision mirrors moves by ChatGPT-parent OpenAI, which has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45612410/fact-check-no-openais-chatgpt-plus-isnt-free-for-all-uae-residents">partnered with a UAE state-backed firm</a> to build data infrastructure abroad.
In 2024, Anthropic had rejected Saudi funding over national security concerns.
In May earlier this year, President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45496491/trumps-uae-deal-lands-4-billion-aluminum-hub-in-oklahoma">visited the United Arab Emirates</a> and Saudi Arabia during a four-day tour centered on boosting economic ties.
He was accompanied by a group of prominent tech figures — including Elon Musk, Sam Altman and Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang — for a meeting with Saudi Arabia's crown prince.
Notably, Anthropic's executives were not in attendance.
Earlier this year, Nvidia criticized AI startup <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45160136/nvidia-blasts-anthropic-for-backing-stricter-chip-bans-on-china-focus-on-innovation-than-tell-tall-tales">Anthropic for supporting</a> stricter U.S. export controls on AI chips to China. The clash followed Anthropic&#8217;s blog post describing bizarre smuggling attempts involving chips hidden in fake baby bumps and lobster shipments.

Elon Musk&#8217;s Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Diner &amp; Drive-In has finally opened to the public, drawing a crowd of enthusiastic Tesla fans.
What Happened: The long-awaited Tesla Diner &amp; Drive-In, located in Hollywood, Los Angeles, opened its doors on Monday, as reported <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/tesla-diner-los-angeles-opens-elon-musk-fans-cybertrucks-rcna220093">by</a> NBC News.

The diner, doubling as a drive-in movie theater, is a retro-futuristic space packed with Tesla innovations—including the humanoid robot Optimus—and branded merchandise, such as Cybertruck-inspired food containers.
Built on the former site of a Shakey's Pizza, the diner features a menu curated by chef Eric Greenspan, offering classic diner fare alongside themed creations, such as the "Tesla Burger" with "Electric Sauce."
Prices range from $4 for fries to $15 for biscuits and red gravy.

Despite uncertainty around the opening time, Musk's most devoted fans waited for almost 10 hours before finally gaining entry at 4:20 p.m.
For instance, YouTuber Everyday Chris, known for his Tesla and EV content, arrived with his wife Janice at 5:30 a.m. Despite the long wait and lack of updates, he and others noticed staff going in and occasionally caught the scent of food being cooked inside.
There were others also who took to X and shared their experiences.

Why It Matters: The opening of the Tesla Diner &amp; Drive-In marks the realization of Musk&#8217;s years-long ambition to establish a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/07/46505352/elon-musks-hitchhikers-galaxy-meets-buc-ees-drive-in-restaurant-nears-completion-will-tesla-accept-dogecoin">Tesla restaurant in Los Angeles</a>, a project that has been in the works for several years.
In 2023, Tesla secured a permit for the diner and supercharger station in Los Angeles, and the project has been in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/34037776/teslas-diner-supercharger-concept-in-la-gets-green-signal-5-years-after-musk-first-touted-idea">works for several years</a>.
Musk, whose net worth exceeded $400 billion in 2024, was once a close ally of President Donald Trump before their relationship soured publicly.
His leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency—and its broad, controversial budget cuts—sparked a drop in Tesla's stock and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45661836/tesla-stock-gains-215-after-hours-as-elon-musk-ends-doge-government-role">eroded his public support</a>.

Tesla Superfans Camp Out Overnight As Elon Musk Unveils Retro-Futuristic Diner With Robot Waiters, Cybertruck Food Trays And Drive-In Vibes

Globavend Holdings Limited (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GVH#NASDAQ">GVH</a>) stock experienced a surge in <a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/GVH:NASDAQ?sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwivkYmDv8-OAxXUUGcHHRzaMsEQ3ecFegQIShAb">after-hours trading</a>. The company&#8217;s stock price rose by 37.99% to $9.88.
Check out&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GVH">how GVH stock is trading here</a>.
What Happened: The surge in stock price follows the company&#8217;s recent announcement of a 1-for-200 reverse stock split. This decision was made by the company&#8217;s board of directors and approved by the majority of its shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting held on April 28. The reverse stock split will be effective from July 21.

As a result of the reverse stock split, the number of outstanding shares of the Australia-based e-commerce logistics company will be reduced from approximately 253 million to approximately 1.27 million. The reverse stock split will not affect any rights or preferences of the company's shares. The par value of the ordinary shares will be proportionally increased from $0.001 to $0.20.
Why It Matters: The recent movement in Globavend ‘s stock appears to be driven by a combination of factors. In June, GVH expanded its e-commerce logistics presence through a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/46163438/globavend-expands-e-commerce-logistics-presence-through-strategic-alliance-with-leading-beauty-retai">strategic alliance with beauty retailer </a>Strawberrynet. Earlier in the month, Litchfield Hills initiated coverage on GVH with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/07/46356710/litchfield-hills-initiates-coverage-on-globavend-holdings-with-buy-rating-announces-price-target-of">buy rating and a price target of $0.4</a>, contributing to the surge in stock value.&nbsp;
The recent surge in GVH&#8217;s stock value is a significant development for the company, especially considering the recent reverse stock split and trading halt (on Monday, at approximately 3:00 p.m. ET). The rebound in stock value suggests that investors may be regaining confidence in the company&#8217;s future prospects.
Despite the recent fluctuations, Globavend‘s stock value is still a long way off from its year range high of $366.00, indicating that there may still be room for further growth.
Price Action: GVH surged 1.99% to close at $7.16 on July 21, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GVH">Benzinga Pro</a> data.

Stock Split

Globavend Holdings Rallies 37.99% in After-Hours Trading Following Reverse Stock Split

Economist&nbsp;Peter Schiff&nbsp;suggested Monday that Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) holders should consider selling their holdings and buying Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) instead.
What Happened: Schiff took to X to comment on the current state of the cryptocurrency market. 
&#8220;Ether is back near the upper end of its trading range again. If you own any, this is a great time to sell,&#8221; he advised his followers.

When curious observers asked him about favoring Bitcoin over Ethereum, he replied, &#8220;I would not buy Ether myself, but I think Ether is in a bear market in terms of Bitcoin, and I think it just had a bear market rally.&#8221; 
Schiff noted that leaving ETH for Bitcoin &#8220;makes sense&#8221; to succeed in the current cryptocurrency market.

Schiff said that he doesn&#8217;t consider Bitcoin &#8220;better&#8221; than Ethereum, but believes the second-largest cryptocurrency has &#8220;more acknowledged competition&#8221; for its use case narrative.

Sell Ethereum Now? Peter Schiff Says 'Great Time' To Do So, Explains Why Investors Should Buy Bitcoin With Proceeds Instead

Piper Sandler analyst Alex Potter says President Donald Trump's new regulations over ZEV credits aren't "as bad as you think" for Elon Musk and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).
Check out the current price of <a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/tsla">TSLA stock here</a>
What Happened: In a new investor note released on Monday, Potter said the EV giant "received ~$3.5B in &#8216;free money&#8217; last year, representing roughly 100% of FY24 free cash flow," before adding that Trump's new ZEV regulation has people worried about possible threats to the Tesla revenue stream.
"In short, we think the answer is no, at least not in 2025," the analyst said. However, Potter did concede that the Trump administration's recent commitment to rescind EV incentives could have an impact in the future.
"Tesla will still book around $3B in credits this year, followed by $2.3B in 2026," the analyst said before reiterating a $400 Price Target for Tesla, an upside of over 20%.
The note also hailed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46511765/elon-musk-says-teslas-self-driving-tech-is-about-to-get-major-boost-from-austin-robotaxi-upgrades-step-change-improvement">Robotaxi operations</a> in Austin as well as the company's efforts to expand into other territories as a positive sign. "In our view, these favorable FSD-related developments are likely to overshadow any/all negative commentary arising from lower 2025/2026 estimates," the note said.
Why It Matters: The news comes as Trump's new regulations and the relaxation of CAFE or Corporate Average Fuel Economy norms <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46258669/tesla-made-2-76-billion-from-zev-credits-in-2024-in-us-but-trumps-tax-bill-just-killed-this-revenue-stream">could cast doubt</a> over the company's ZEV revenue.
Tesla isn't the only company that risks losing the lucrative ZEV credit revenue, as Rivian Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) could lose a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46385263/tesla-rival-rivian-could-lose-a-major-revenue-stream-due-to-a">$325 million stream of cash</a> influx into the company following Trump's new regulations.
The company also plans to expand the serviceable areas of its Robotaxi, with documents showing the EV giant's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46361254/elon-musks-robotaxi-push-expands-to-phoenix-as-tesla-seeks-arizona-approval">plans to enter Phoenix</a>, as well as Musk stating that the Robotaxi could be available in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46337340/elon-musk-says-tesla-will-expand-robotaxi-services-to-san-francisco-bay-area-in-a-month-or-two">San Francisco Bay Area</a> pending regulatory approval.
The administration has taken other steps to curb EV incentives, like axing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46289556/trumps-tax-bill-axes-the-7500-ev-credit-heres-how-you-can-still-claim-it">$7,500 EV credit</a>, which will end on September 30, 2025. Elsewhere, the president has also indicated that he could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45919154/trump-says-he-may-hike-auto-tariffs-again-to-boost-domestic-production-the-higher-you-go-they-build-a-plant-here">hike auto tariffs again</a> in a bid to boost domestic production.

Trump's New ZEV Credit Regulations Aren't 'As Bad' For Elon Musk, Says Piper Sandler: 'Tesla Will Still Book Around $3 Billion…'

University of Michigan economist and former Obama White House advisor Betsey Stevenson issued a stark warning about the consequences of ending the Federal Reserve's independence.
What Happened: On Monday, in a post on X, Stevenson suggested that mortgage rates could rise significantly if the markets lose faith in the central bank&#8217;s ability to manage inflation. 
&#8220;End the independence of the Fed and get higher mortgage rates,&#8221; she said, while adding that &#8220;how high?&#8221; depends on whoever is better at predicting higher inflation rates, and this can be banks, investors, or borrowers.

Stevenson said this while quoting a post by Bloomberg columnist Matthew Yglesias, who expressed similar concerns that ousting Fed Chair Jerome Powell, in favor of &#8220;a lackey,&#8221; would not bring down mortgage rates. &#8220;The whole thing seems based on false premises to me,&#8221; he says.

Opendoor, Verizon, Gamestop, Alphabet And Trump Media: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

One in four Gen Z workers wishes they had skipped college or picked a higher‑paying major, and only about a third are happy with the choices they made, a new ResumeGenius poll, carried out this month, finds.
What Happened: The online survey of 1,000 full‑time Gen Z employees shows 23% regret going to college, 22% would pivot to fields like tech or finance, and just 32% say they'd change nothing about their education.
Career coaches say that shift reflects a market where degrees no longer guarantee jobs. "Many older generations had the luxury of living in a market where their college degree was practically a get-a-job-free card after graduation," said Kolby Goodman of Employed By Graduation, <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/07/20/gen-z-regrets-going-to-college/">speaking</a> to Fortune.
A separate Tallo report highlights the unease. Nearly two‑thirds of young adults aren't yet in their intended career, and one in four can't find work in the field they trained for. With entry‑level roles shrinking and AI reshaping tasks, "there's a lot more uncertainty and lack of guarantees," Goodman added.

Cost is a prime driver of regret. The Education Data Initiative <a href="https://educationdata.org/average-cost-of-college">pegs</a> the average annual price of attending a four‑year college at $38,270, which is more than double what parents paid at the turn of the century. As bills climb, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45412478/4-3-million-gen-z-are-struggling-to-find-direction-in-a-tough-job-market-handshake-executive-says-gen-z-faces-a-particularly-uncertain-job-market">more than 4 million</a> Gen Zers remain unemployed or underemployed and blame their degrees for their predicament.
Why It Matters: Parents are responding. 70% of teens now say their families support alternatives such as apprenticeships or trade school, according to a recent American Student Assistance <a href="https://www.asa.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Teens-Next-Steps-Research-Paper.pdf">poll</a>.
Even so, some majors still pay. The ResumeGenius study notes that STEM and health graduates report the highest satisfaction, while arts and humanities majors log the most regret. With tuition soaring and job security shaky, career counselors urge students to weigh earnings potential, debt loads and non‑degree options before signing a promissory note.

Degrees No Longer 'Get‑A‑Job‑Free' Cards, Shows Survey — Gen Z Has College Regrets, Here's Why

Cryptocurrency-based prediction platform is re-entering the U.S. market after acquiring a CFTC-regulated derivatives exchange, CEO Shayne Coplan said on Monday.
What Happened: Coplan announced via x that Polymarket has purchased the holding company of QCEX, a licensed derivatives exchange and clearinghouse for $112 million.

Opendoor Rallies 8.10% In After-Hours Trading — Why Is The Stock Trending Tonight?

U.S. tech giants Mark Zuckerberg-led Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Elon Musk's X, formerly Twitter and Microsoft Corporation's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) LinkedIn are reportedly fighting back against a tax case in Italy that could reshape how digital services are taxed across the European Union.
What Happened: Meta, X and LinkedIn have filed an appeal against a landmark value-added taxes demand issued by Italian authorities, reported Reuters on Monday, citing four sources with direct knowledge of the matter.
Italian authorities argue that free access to social media platforms in exchange for users&#8217; personal data constitutes a taxable transaction under VAT laws. This marks the first time Italy has moved beyond settlement talks with tech companies and into formal litigation.
Italy is seeking €887.6 million ($1.03 billion) from Meta, €12.5 million from X and about €140 million from LinkedIn.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46400815/meta-commits-hundreds-of-billions-to-build-massive-ai-clusters-in-race-for-superintelligence">Meta Commits &#8216;Hundreds Of Billions&#8217; To Build Massive AI Clusters In Race For Superintelligence</a>
Meta pushed back, telling the publication it has "cooperated fully with the authorities" but "strongly disagrees with the idea that providing access to online platforms to users should be subject to VAT." LinkedIn said it had "nothing to share at this time."
Why It's Important: The case could impact a wide range of businesses beyond social media—from airlines to supermarkets—that offer free services in exchange for data or cookie consent, the report said.
Italy plans to seek advisory guidance from the European Commission's VAT Committee in November, with a formal opinion expected by spring 2026.
If Italy's interpretation is upheld, the legal precedent could transform how digital services are taxed throughout the 27-nation EU.
The case has gained added significance amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46388874/eu-prepares-24-5b-in-tariffs-as-trump-threatens-30-import-tax-on-mexico-europe">broader trade tensions</a> between the EU and the U.S. under President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration.
According to Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings, META demonstrates consistent upward momentum over short, medium and long-term periods. While the company&#8217;s growth indicators are strong, its value rating is relatively lower. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-4/#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Additional performance details can be found here</a>.

Mark Zuckerberg's Meta And Elon Musk's X Fight Back Against Efforts By Italy To Tax Free Access To Social Media In Exchange For Users' Personal Data

Ark Invest, led by Cathie Wood, made significant trades on Monday. Notably, the firm increased its stake in Bitmine Immersion Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMNR#NYSE">BMNR</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) while reducing its holdings in Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) and Block Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XYZ#NYSE">XYZ</a>). These trades reflect Ark&#8217;s strategic adjustments amid evolving market conditions.
The Bitmine Immersion Trade: Ark Invest made a substantial investment in Bitmine Immersion through Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#BATS">ARKF</a>), ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>), and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#BATS">ARKW</a>). This move comes after Bitmine&#8217;s Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) holdings surpassed $1 billion recently, following a $250 million private placement. Ark&#8217;s acquisition of over 4.4 million shares highlights its confidence in Bitmine&#8217;s strategic pivot to an Ethereum treasury strategy. The total value of this purchase amounts to approximately $174.9 million, based on the latest closing price of $39.57. In the last 30 days, BMNR stock has shot up a whopping 799.3%. The stock has been on a tear after Peter Thiel's Founders Fund Growth II Management <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46432615/bitmine-immersion-technologies-stock-surges-after-hours-whats-going-on">disclosed a 9.1% stake</a> in the company.
The Coinbase Trade: Ark Invest reduced its position in Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) on July 21, selling shares across ARKF, ARKK, and ARKW. This decision follows Coinbase&#8217;s recent surge to a new 52-week high, driven by a bullish analyst revision and positive legislative developments. Analyst Chris Brendler from Rosenblatt recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46473148/coinbase-global-stock-hit-a-new-52-week-high-today-whats-going-on">raised his price target</a> for Coinbase to $470, reflecting increased confidence in the company&#8217;s market position. Ark&#8217;s sale of 218,986 shares is valued at approximately $90.6 million, based on the latest closing price of $413.63.
The Block Trade: On the same day, Ark Invest also decreased its stake in Block Inc. (XYZ) within its ARKF ETF. Block&#8217;s shares have been on the rise, gaining 15.5% over the last 5 days as the Jack Dorsey-led company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46511361/jack-dorseys-block-with-over-1-billion-in-bitcoin-holdings-set-to-join-sp-500-shares-pop-8-in-overnight-trading">prepares to join the S&amp;P 500</a>. Over the last 24-hours, the stock has moved up 7.22%. This move underscores Block&#8217;s growing influence in the fintech space, bolstered by its significant Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) holdings. Ark&#8217;s sale of 90,061 shares is valued at approximately $70.3 million, based on the $78.08 closing price.
The AMD Trade: Ark Invest showed confidence in the chipmaker by purchasing shares for its ARKF and ARKW ETFs. Investment expert Jim Cramer recently endorsed AMD, highlighting its positive trajectory amid a volatile tech sector. Ark&#8217;s acquisition of 32,846 shares is valued at approximately $5.16 million, based on the $157 closing price.
