Joe Rogan has become one of the world's most successful podcasters in recent years, with influential figures like tech mogul Elon Musk, boxing legend Mike Tyson, renowned whistleblower Edward Snowden, and President-elect Donald Trump appearing on his &#8220;The Joe Rogan Experience&#8221; show.&nbsp;
But aside from a plethora of topics he enjoys discussing, Rogan has also exhibited significant interest in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), the world's largest cryptocurrency, and even holds some in his portfolio.&nbsp;
What happened: Way back in April 2024, Rogan publicly shared details of his Bitcoin address.&nbsp;
Looking up the address on <a href="https://mempool.space/address/13hc7PPVya2afSweLWKLSPZVtUnavW5sSK">mempool</a>—a site that tracks Bitcoin transactions and block movements 24&#215;7—revealed a balance of 5.243 BTCs, translating to $502,011 at current market prices.&nbsp;
The fascinating bit was that Rogan hasn&#8217;t spent any Bitcoin in over a decade. Exactly 10 years ago, the value of his stash was $1,645, reflecting a mammoth 30417.4% upside.
Analysis of the balance history revealed a gradual increase in holdings beginning in late April, around the time he went public with his address.
By December of the same year, the balance had risen to 5, after which it began to plateau. Since then, it stabilized around the 5.24 level.&nbsp;

While HODLing for such long periods could imply Rogan's conviction on Bitcoin's potential, other observers had different explanations.&nbsp;
Bitcoin technologist Jameson Lopp said in a February X post, "How much you wanna bet he lost the key?"
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Joe&#39;s got 5 coins sitting in an address that was never spent from after a decade.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Another user, Daniel Brr, urged Rogan to hand over the Bitcoins to charity if the amount isn't too significant for him.
"Seems like he just forgot people gave him BTC at that address and doesn&#8217;t care either way, so I think it would be better to give it to charity than eventually losing track of it," Brr added.

Why It Matters: While Rogan may be unmindful of his Bitcoin stash, his faith in the apex cryptocurrency hasn't shaken.&nbsp;&nbsp;
In an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast with OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman, Rogan <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/10/35139978/joe-rogan-tells-sam-altman-that-bitcoin-can-become-a-universal-viable-currency-admits-cbdc">called Bitcoin the "real fascinating cryptocurrency</a>" and one with the most likelihood of becoming a "universal viable currency."

At that time, the digital asset traded at $123. The rest, as they say, is history.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $95,524.55, up 2.77% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;

Century Therapeutics Stages Highest Single Day Move In 11 Months As Casdin Capital Bumps Its Stake To 5.4%

In a tragic incident early Wednesday, a&nbsp;Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Cybertruck crashed in Piedmont, California, resulting in three fatalities and one serious injury. The vehicle reportedly ignited after the crash, prompting a rapid response from local authorities.
What Happened: The accident occurred around 3:10 a.m. as the occupants were returning from an event, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/tesla-cybertruck-piedmont-california-5d5b82dfffe7db70a2b1c3d4863e3d69">reported</a> the Associated Press,
Piedmont Police Chief&nbsp;Jeremy Bowers&nbsp;suggested that excessive speed might have been&nbsp;a factor in the single-vehicle&nbsp;crash. A fellow attendee, traveling separately, managed to rescue the surviving victim from the burning vehicle.
The identities of the victims have not been disclosed to protect family privacy. Despite police officers&#8217; extinguishers being ineffective, the fire department managed to extinguish the blaze quickly.
Piedmont Fire Chief Dave Brannigan noted that the rapid extinguishing indicated the Cybertruck&#8217;s lithium-ion battery likely did not catch fire, describing it as a typical car fire.
Tesla did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment.

Despite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/41934708/tesla-recalls-over-2400-cybertrucks-in-us">recent recalls of the Cybertruck</a>, Chief Bowers stated there was no evidence of mechanical failure causing the accident. The Cybertruck&nbsp;has been recalled six times&nbsp;over the past year for various safety issues, including a recent recall on November 5 due to an electric inverter fault.
Why It Matters: This incident is the latest in a series of accidents involving Tesla vehicles.
In March,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37473383/tesla-ceo-elon-musks-pins-cybertruck-accident-at-iconic-beverly-hills-hotel-to-the-steel-behemoths-s">a Cybertruck crashed</a>&nbsp;into the entrance of The Beverly Hills Hotel, with&nbsp;CEO Elon Musk&nbsp;attributing the accident to the vehicle&#8217;s sports car-like agility.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41398764/nhtsa-opens-probe-into-2-4m-tesla-vehicles-after-reports-of-4-crashes-with-fsd-involved">has opened an investigation</a>&nbsp;into nearly 2.4 million Tesla vehicles following reports of crashes involving the full self-driving system.

Tesla Cybertruck Crash In California Claims 3 Lives, Leaves 1 Seriously Injured

Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) is confronting a federal investigation that could reshape the technology industry&#8217;s competitive landscape, with regulators examining the company&#8217;s potentially anticompetitive practices in cloud computing and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41986592/microsoft-cloud-is-reportedly-ftc-lina-khans-next-target-investigation-centered-around-alleged-anticompetitive-behavior">artificial intelligence markets</a>.
What Happened: The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has initiated a broad investigative effort focusing on Microsoft&#8217;s licensing strategies and market conduct, particularly within its Azure cloud service ecosystem. Reuters report, which cited sources, reveals that the probe extends beyond traditional technological assessments, delving into intricate questions about market power and consumer choice.
The probe, approved by FTC Chair Lina Khan <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41986592/microsoft-cloud-is-reportedly-ftc-lina-khans-next-target-investigation-centered-around-alleged-anticompetitive-behavior">before her anticipated departure</a>, centers on allegations that Microsoft is exploiting its market power to restrict customer mobility between cloud platforms.
Tech industry observers note the investigation represents a significant moment for Microsoft, traditionally viewed as more collaborative compared to other Big Tech entities. 
Microsoft did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.
The investigation emerges against a backdrop of intensifying regulatory <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42086154/apple-to-argue-for-dismissal-of-doj-antitrust-case-over-alleged-us-smartphone-market-domination">scrutiny of Big Tech companies</a>.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) have faced similar antitrust challenges, Microsoft has traditionally navigated these waters with greater apparent ease.

What Happened: Regulatory challenges are emerging across multiple technological fronts, with NetChoice and other industry groups highlighting potential barriers that might prevent customers from seamlessly transitioning between cloud platforms. 
The timing of the probe adds complexity, occurring during a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41948486/biden-pledges-smooth-transition-to-trump-in-white-house-meeting">potential presidential transition</a> that could dramatically alter enforcement priorities. 
Price Action: Microsoft stock closed at $422.99 on Wednesday, down 1.17% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock dipped further 0.24%.

Lina Khan-Headed FTC Approves Probe Into Microsoft's Cloud And AI Practices Amid Antitrust Scrutiny: Report

Elon Musk's X, formerly Twitter, has filed an objection to the pending bankruptcy sale of Alex Jones&#8217;s Infowars accounts to the satirical news outlet The Onion.
What Happened: The objection was submitted on Monday as part of Jones's bankruptcy proceedings, over his false claims regarding the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
His assets, including Infowars, are being sold off in the wake of a defamation lawsuit filed by the families of Sandy Hook victims, which led to a $1.5 billion verdict against him.
Musk's platform argued that its terms of service prevent the sale or transfer of Jones's X accounts without the company&#8217;s approval.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42156013/bluesky-adds-millions-of-users-as-elon-musks-social-media-platform-faces-exodus-post-trump-win-here-are-a-few-starter-packs-to-help-you-get-going-on-latest-x-rival?itm_source=parsely-api">Bluesky Adds Millions Of Users As Elon Musk&#8217;s X Faces Exodus Post Trump Victory: Here Are A Few Starter Packs To Help You Level Up On The Platform</a>
While X does not oppose the sale of Infowars&#8217; content, it insists that it retains ownership of the accounts, which it says are not part of Jones&#8217;s assets in bankruptcy proceedings.&nbsp;
The bankruptcy judge is considering whether to approve the trustee&#8217;s selection of The Onion as the winning bidder for Infowars assets.
The Onion&#8217;s bid of $1.75 million in cash was chosen over First United American Companies (FUAC)&#8217;s $3.5 million offer, as it benefits Jones&#8217;s other creditors more.&nbsp;
FUAC has objected, alleging improper collusion. A hearing is set for next month to address the sale.
This development was first <a href="https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5012284-elon-musk-x-alex-jones-infowars-sale-the-onion/">reported</a> by The Hill.
Subscribe to the <a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a> to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Why It Matters: The objection from X comes amid a series of challenges for the platform. Earlier this month, it was reported that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41698648/elon-musks-x-reportedly-hit-with-new-wave-of-layoffs-engineering-department-faces-major-cuts-amid-un">X faced another wave of layoffs</a>, particularly impacting its engineering department.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41872302/taylor-swift-fans-abandon-elon-musks-x-for-bluesky-how-trumps-election-victory-triggered-swifties-uprising">X has seen a shift in its user base</a>, with Taylor Swift fans reportedly migrating to Bluesky following Musk&#8217;s support for President-elect Donald Trump.
Despite these challenges, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/11/42022443/ibm-disney-and-other-large-advertisers-return-to-elon-musks-x-after-a-year-long-boycott-we-super-appreciate">major advertisers</a> like IBM and Disney have returned to X after a year-long boycott, signaling a potential recovery in brand trust.

Elon Musk's xAI Plans To 'Make Games Great Again' With AI-Driven Game Studio — Can His Vision Reshape A Gaming Industry Dominated By Large Corporations?

The cryptocurrency market embarked on a bullish run in 2024, with several coins netting exponential returns to their holders.
Meme coins, influenced by adorable characters and animals, have been at the forefront of this rally, with many of them soaring over 1000% since the beginning of the year.
What happened: Cat-themed cryptocurrency Popcat has been the best-performing cryptocurrency in 2024, exploding an eye-popping 16151% year-to-date.&nbsp;
The Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based token entered the $1 billion club riding on the rally, the only feline-themed digital asset to hit such a milestone.

Next on the list was Peanut the Squirrel, a meme coin inspired by the late animal of the same name, which has exploded to a $1 billion capitalization in less than a month from its launch.
PNUT has surged over 2000%, becoming one of the fastest entrants to the $1 billion club.

Dogs, Cats And Frogs — Crypto's Wildest Winners In 2024: The Unexpected Tokens Turning Pocket Change Into Fortunes

Prominent investment analyst Gary Black of The Future Fund LLC has sparked a market discussion with a recent analysis comparing Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), highlighting critical differences in their earnings trajectory and valuation metrics.
What Happened: In a post on X, Black explained why Nvidia remains the fund&#8217;s top position while Tesla ranks fifth, focusing on the divergent paths of earnings estimates for both companies. He pointed out that Wall Street continues to raise earnings estimates for Nvidia while simultaneously reducing estimates for Tesla.
The analysis centers on the price-to-earnings-growth ratio, a key metric for investors. Black noted that Nvidia currently trades at 1.6x PEG, with a calendar year 2025 price-to-earnings ratio of 32x and a projected long-term earnings growth of 20%. 
In contrast, Tesla stands at 3.2x PEG, with a calendar year 2025 price-to-earnings ratio of 102x and a projected long-term earnings growth of 32%.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/understanding-peg-ratio">price-to-earnings-growth ratio</a> is a key valuation metric that helps investors understand a stock&#8217;s true value by comparing its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio to its expected earnings growth rate.
A lower PEG ratio, typically below 1.0, suggests a stock may be undervalued, indicating the company&#8217;s stock price is relatively cheap compared to its potential future earnings growth.

Why It Matters: These metrics underscore the fund&#8217;s investment strategy, which Black has consistently defended as disciplined and data-driven. His recent posts have emphasized the importance of professional investment principles, particularly the strategy of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42156674/gary-black-defends-tesla-trim-at-351-no-one-ever-went-broke-by-taking-profits-amid-stocks-150-surge-since-april">buying low and selling high</a>.
The Future Fund&#8217;s performance demonstrates this approach, with the Future Fund Active ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FFND#NYSE">FFND</a>) delivering a 28.30% year-to-date return that outpaces the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>).

The market performance further illustrates the point: while Tesla has seen a 34% year-to-date gain, Nvidia has surged 180.96%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Nvidia Crushes Tesla In Stock Gains — Gary Black Explains Why The AI Chipmaker Occupies The No. 1 Position In Future Fund's Portfolio

Ethereum's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) handsome rally on Wednesday infused life in its cheaper alternatives, causing them to outperform the marquee asset.
What happened: Ethereum Name Service soared over 45% to become the cryptocurrency market's biggest gainer in the last 24 hours.&nbsp;
The rally catapulted the token to price levels last seen in Jan. 2022, while its market capitalization hit $1 billion after nearly five months.&nbsp;
ENS saw a 520% jump in trading volumes, implying a sharp jump in buying pressure.

Ethereum Classic also racked up double-digit gains to hit a six-month high. Its trading volume more than doubled to $1.18 billion in the last 24 hours. 
The gains in these lesser-known coins follow<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42228090/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-surge-as-traders-raise-risk-appetite-ahead-of-thanksgiving-analyst-says-eth-could-jump-to-highs-not-seen-since-late-2021"> Ethereum's sharp upswing</a>, which caused the second-largest cryptocurrency to spike nearly 8%.

ENS and ETC are fundamentally different from Ethereum, but many retail investors see them as cheaper alternatives.&nbsp;
In the past too, positive news around Ethereum, such as the approval of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39897831/why-are-ethereum-classic-and-ethereum-name-service-shooting-up-on-spot-eth-approval-day">spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs)</a>, resulted in steeper hikes for these cheaper plays.
Ethereum Classic was created as a hard fork of the original Ethereum chain back in 2016 over disagreements within the community following a hack. The new chain inherited the name Ethereum as we know it, while the original one functions as Ethereum Classic.
ENS, on the other hand, is a token associated with Ethereum Name Service, a decentralized naming system that converts complex, machine-readable names to ones easily understandable by humans.

Ethereum Rally Gets Overshadowed By Searing Gains In Cheaper Plays: Why Are ENS And ETC Soaring Today?

Influential cryptocurrency analyst&nbsp;Willy Woo&nbsp;shared his perspective on the potential liquidation risk of&nbsp;MicroStrategy Incorporated&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), a firm whose aggressive Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) acquisition strategy has sparked significant interest lately.
What Happened:&nbsp;On Wednesday, Woo took to X to state that the primary risk lies in the company&#8217;s convertible debt offerings.
He said that if the buyers of the convertible debt&nbsp;do not convert to shares&nbsp;before maturity, MicroStrategy would be forced to sell Bitcoin to repay the debt holders.
Woo argued that this scenario would occur if MicroStrategy&#8217;s stock didn&#8217;t increase by roughly 40% within the next 5-7 years.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

The analyst also underlined several other risks of varying degrees. 
He argued that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42179537/rumble-bets-on-bitcoin-with-new-treasury-strategy-ceo-calls-it-an-excellent-addition">other corporations replicating MicroStrategy&#8217;s playbook</a> could result in reducing its net asset value (NAV) premium—the ratio of the firm&#8217;s market value to its Bitcoin holdings value.
Furthermore, risks such as the SEC acting to limit future Bitcoin purchases and the U.S. government nationalizing and confiscating the asset were raised.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;For the curious, a convertible note is a hybrid instrument that can be exchanged for equity in the company at a later date. The conversion feature of these notes eventually<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42186167/michael-saylors-microstrategy-convertible-notes-to-buy-bitcoin-offer-no-interest-so-why-are-investors-rushing-to-buy-them"> helps the debt holders</a> to participate in the equity upside on conversion.
The Michael Saylor-led firm has been issuing these bonds at 0% interest,&nbsp;using the proceeds to fund its future Bitcoin purchases. 
Woo&#8217;s comments followed renowned investment adviser <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42156261/are-microstrategys-shares-worth-only-105-investment-adviser-gary-black-weighs-in">Gary Black&#8217;s aspersions </a>on the valuation of MicroStrategy. 
Black estimated that MicroStrategy's&nbsp;shares should be worth about&nbsp;$105/share, a figure 73% lower than its current trading price.
Price Action: Over the past month, MicroStrategy&#8217;s stock has surged 58.94%, outperforming even the famed "Magnificent 7" group of companies. The stock popped 9.94% to $388.84 during Wednesday&#8217;s regular session.

What Happened: Bitcoin began to surge in the early morning hours, reaching an intraday peak of $97,357. The rally reversed the corrective action that halted the leading cryptocurrency&#8217;s march to $100,000.
Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, outshone its senior partner with nearly 10% gains over the last 24 hours. The uptick boosted its weekly returns to 17%, compared to Bitcoin&#8217;s 1.34%.
Over $261 million were liquidated in the past 24 hours, with downside bets accounting for $182 million in losses.
Speculative interest rose as Open Interest, or the money locked in unsettled derivatives contracts, increased 14.62% for Ethereum, and 2.95% for Bitcoin.
The number of traders taking long positions for Bitcoin surged against those taking downside bets, according to the Long/Shorts Ratio.
The "Extreme Greed" sentiment strengthened from 75 to 77 over the last 24 hours, according to the reading of the Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Surge As Traders Raise Risk Appetite Ahead Of Thanksgiving: Analyst Sets Mid-Term Price Target For ETH At $6K

OpenAI enables employees to sell up to $1.5 billion worth of shares in a tender offer led by SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>). 
What Happened: The transaction, set to close by Dec 24, allows SoftBank to deepen its stake in the AI leader while offering liquidity to current and former employees, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/26/openai-gets-1point5-billion-investment-from-softbank-in-tender-offer.html">reported</a> CNBC, citing people familiar with the matter.
The deal, priced at $210 per share, aligns with OpenAI&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41149788/openai-valuation-soars-to-157b-in-latest-funding-round">recent $157 billion valuation</a>. SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son drove the move, following a $500 million investment in OpenAI's last funding round. This marks another step in Son's aggressive AI strategy, with SoftBank's Vision Fund 2 also backing startups like Glean and Perplexity.
OpenAI, backed by $13 billion in funding from investors including Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), has emphasized the importance of such tender offers amid a dormant IPO market. 
This initiative reflects the company&#8217;s commitment to employee satisfaction and continued capital-raising to sustain its growth in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41312615/investors-pour-billions-into-openai-whats-driving-this-unprecedented-surge-in-funding">competitive generative AI market</a>.
SoftBank and OpenAI did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

SoftBank Secures Bigger OpenAI Stake With $1.5B Employee Share Buyout: Report

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), reportedly met with President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday.
What Happened: The meeting took place at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, but specific details remain undisclosed, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/11/27/us/trump-news?smid=url-share#981f2720-c62f-5720-873f-81e07a6c31c8">reported</a> the New York Times, citing two people briefed on the meeting.
Earlier this year, Trump had threatened legal action against Zuckerberg if elected. He has also accused the Meta CEO of plotting against him while appearing friendly during visits to the Oval Office.

However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40785288/did-mark-zuckerberg-really-say-no-way-i-can-vote-for-a-democrat-in-this-election-to-trump">Zuckerberg praised his resilience</a> following an assassination attempt in July. Later, Trump said that Zuckerberg expressed support for him over Democrats, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40785288/did-mark-zuckerberg-really-say-no-way-i-can-vote-for-a-democrat-in-this-election-to-trump">statement Meta denied</a>.
The Meta CEO is not alone in visiting Mar-a-Lago. Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/41866189/elon-musk-joined-trumps-call-with-zelenskyy">supported Trump&#8217;s campaign</a>, also spent time at the resort following the election. 
Meta did not immediately respond to Benzinga&#8217;s request for comments.
Why It Matters: Historically, Zuckerberg and Trump have met multiple times, including a reported secret dinner with billionaire Peter Thiel in 2019.
Facebook had suspended Trump&#8217;s account after the Capitol insurrection. Meta reinstated his accounts in 2023.
Following Trump's election victory, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41796344/tim-cook-mark-zuckerberg-and-jeff-bezos-congratulate-trump-whats-next-for-the-tech-giants">Zuckerberg congratulated him</a> while expressing optimism about future collaborations. Meta's share price soared on Nov. 7, 2024, reaching $591.70, two days after Election Day.
Price Action: Meta&#8217;s stock declined by 0.76% on Wednesday, ending the day at $569.20, but edged up by 0.11% in after-hours trading. Year-to-date, Meta shares have climbed 64.37%, significantly outpacing the Nasdaq 100 index&#8217;s 25.39% gain over the same period, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Mark Zuckerberg And Trump Reportedly Met At Mar-A-Lago

On Wednesday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made some notable trades. The most prominent among these were in Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>), and Block Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SQ#NYSE">SQ</a>).
The Amazon Trade
Ark Invest bought 82,735 shares in Amazon.com Inc. through ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>) and ARK Space Exploration &amp; Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKX#BATS">ARKX</a>). This move comes in the wake of Amazon&#8217;s recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42176396/amazon-anthropic">$8 billion investment</a> in artificial intelligence research and development company, Anthropic. As part of the investment, Anthropic named Amazon Web Services as its primary training partner and cloud provider. The investment is expected to be mutually beneficial. Based on the closing price of $205.74, the value of the trade is approximately $17.02 million.
The AMD Trade
Ark Invest also purchased 127,363 shares of Advanced Micro Devices Inc. through ARKK and ARKX. Despite the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42193158/amds-downward-spiral-is-a-reversal-on-the-horizon-or-just-a-blip">recent struggles</a>, Ark Invest seems to see potential in the tech giant. The value of the trade, calculated from the closing price of $136.24, is approximately $17.35 million. AMD stock at $142.68 faces bearish momentum, trading below key moving averages. A slight bullish signal from the 8-day SMA contrasts with weak RSI and MACD indicators. Market share gains offer hope, but sustainability remains uncertain.
The Palantir Trade
Ark Invest sold 100,804 shares of Palantir Technologies Inc. through ARKK. Despite the sale, it&#8217;s worth noting that Wedbush analyst Dan Ives <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42179988/dan-ives-defends-75-palantir-target-amid-ai-revolution-and-revenue-surge-haters-will-continue-to-hate">recently reaffirmed</a> his $75 price target on Palantir, citing strong growth potential amid the AI revolution. The value of the trade, based on the closing price of $66.05, is approximately $6.66 million.
The SQ Trade

Ark Invest sold shares of Block Inc., formerly known as Square Inc. The value of the trade, calculated from the closing price of $88.78, is approximately $9.82 million. Ark invested in the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)-focused firm through ARKK. Ark Invest shared Bitcoin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42122886/cathie-woods-3-8-million-bitcoin-vision-met-with-doubt-83-say-not-by-2030">price targets</a> for 2030, ranging from $258,500 (bear case) to $3.8 million (bull case), based on corporate adoption. A Benzinga poll revealed only 17% believe the $3.8 million target is achievable by 2030, with many seeing it as unlikely or delayed. Wood emphasized regulatory clarity and institutional demand as key drivers for Bitcoin&#8217;s future growth.

Cathie Wood Buys Amazon, AMD Stock — Trims Palantir, Block Holdings Amid AI And Bitcoin Euphoria

BlackRock Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>), the world's largest asset manager with $11.5 trillion in assets, is finalizing a deal to acquire HPS Investment Partners, a prominent private credit firm managing nearly $150 billion.
What Happened: The acquisition, expected to be announced after Thanksgiving, the Financial Times reported citing four people familiar with the matter, could be valued at around $12 billion, surpassing HPS's earlier estimated IPO valuation of $10 billion.
Founded by former Goldman Sachs executive Scott Kapnick, HPS has grown into a major player in private credit, benefiting from traditional banks retreating due to stricter post-crisis regulations.
This move aligns with BlackRock's strategy to expand its alternative assets business, a high-fee segment gaining prominence. The firm recently completed a $12.5 billion deal for Global Infrastructure Partners and agreed to acquire Preqin for £2.55 billion.
If finalized, this acquisition will position BlackRock ahead of competitors like Ares and Blackstone in the burgeoning private credit market. Neither BlackRock nor HPS has commented on the

BlackRock Set To Acquire Private Credit Manager HPS For $12B: Report

Soundhound AI (SOUN) has been soaring lately with news of voice AI integration, but a recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/short-sellers/24/11/42165886/how-is-the-market-feeling-about-soundhound-ai?adt_ei=%7b%7bemail%7d%7d">Benzinga article</a> on highlights the steep rise in short interest – a whopping 24% of all regular shares are shorted and this would take more than three days of normal trading volume to cover.
This means that SOUN is a target for a short squeeze. Why? Because short sellers will have to buy the stock to cover their positions, and this will push prices even higher. So, how might we position for upside here with the limited risk?
Why, the butterfly trade, of course!
Trade structure – the long call butterfly trade
The long call butterfly is a combination of a long call spread, and a short call spread where the short strikes are shared. Here's the trade:
<ul>
<li>Buy to open 1 SOUN 17 Jan 8 calls</li>
<li>Sell to open 2 SOUN 17 Jan 12 calls</li>
<li>Buy to open 1 SOUN 17 Jan 15 calls</li>
</ul>
[<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/checkout/black-friday-24/?utm_source=WebRD-1128">Black Friday Week: Save 60% on Benzinga Pro—The Market's Ultimate Trading Suite</a>]
The total cost of this spread is currently 0.46 at this writing and it is also the maximum risk in the position. There is one caveat here – the distance between the strikes will make this a winning trade even if the stock moves well above $15. Here's why:
In a standard long butterfly spread, the distance between the middles strikes and the outer strikes are the same. This means that if the stock moves dramatically higher when holding the long call butterfly, the entire position would be a loss if held into the expiration date.
This butterfly, however is different.
The spread between the 8 and 12 strikes is $4, while the spread between the 12 and 15 strikes is $3 &#8211; leaving an extra $1 to collect even if prices expand north.
The total potential profit if the price of the stock does not breach $12 would be calculated this way: $12-8 = $4 (distance between the strikes) minus how much we paid for it 0.46 = $3.54 less commissions.
Potentially 600%!
That said, if the prices stay steady, this option position will gradually erode to zero, so manage your risk according to that understanding.
Trade Management
SOUN's relative resistance zone is right around $7.80 (where it sits now) The relative support is near $4.20.
The strategy result provides only two choices to exit the trade:
<ol>
<li>To sell the call butterfly when it is performing at your target parameters. I like the 200%-300% profit range.</li>
<li>To sell the call butterfly when it hits the short strike or hits the loss threshold that is desirable for you. Again, I like the 50% stop here.</li>

The Mexican President has reportedly agreed to halt migration through Mexico into the United States, effectively securing the Southern Border. The leaders also discussed strategies to curb the massive drug inflow into the U.S. and the country&#8217;s consumption of these drugs.
Trump said, &#8220;She has agreed to stop Migration through Mexico, and into the United States, effectively closing our Southern Border. We also talked about what can be done to stop the massive drug inflow into the United States, and also, U.S. consumption of these drugs. It was a very productive conversation!&#8221;
Trump lauded this agreement as a significant step towards halting the &#8220;illegal invasion&#8221; of the U.S. and expressed his gratitude towards Sheinbaum.
He said, &#8220;Mexico will stop people from going to our Southern Border, effective immediately.&#8221;

Trump had described the situation at the borders as an &#8220;invasion&#8221; and linked it to rising crime and drug levels.

She stated that &#8220;neither threats nor tariffs&#8221; would solve the migration or drug abuse issues in the U.S.
The proposed tariffs had also escalated trade tensions between the U.S. and Mexico, causing the Mexican peso to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42219612/usmexico-trade-tensions-escalate-as-mexican-peso-hits-august-2022-lows-why-is-auto-industry-most-at-risk">weaken significantly</a>.
