Over the weekend, billionaire investor Mark Cuban shared a list of unfiled <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/10/41234173/how-mark-cuban-turned-broadcast-com-into-5-7b-sale-we-were-the-youtube-of-our-day">patent ideas from</a> Broadcast.com's early days, indicating they could have changed the course of internet history.
What Happened: Taking to X, formerly Twitter, Cuban shared "Potential Broadcast.com Patent Applications," dated Jan. 4, 1999.
The list includes 13 patent ideas that were considered by Broadcast.com's intellectual property lawyers but never filed.
"Just found the old list of patents our IP lawyers for Broadcast.com were going to file but never got around to under Yahoo," Cuban wrote. "Not saying they all would have been granted, but if you ever need prior art in this area, here you go lol."

Among the unfiled patents were:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Geographic IP Identification — a method to pinpoint a device's location by analyzing internet packet routes.</li>
<li>Reverse Auction — where buyers post what they want and sellers compete by offering lower prices.</li>
<li>Streaming Authentication Systems — extending early user authentication methods for audio streams.</li>
<li>Telephony-Based Content Publication — converting voicemail messages into multimedia content online.</li>
</ul>
After someone noted that Broadcast.com now leads to a blank page, Cuban responded by saying, "I tried to buy it back," adding, "Still willing to if anyone there cares!"

Why It's Important: Broadcast.com began as AudioNet in September 1995, founded by Christopher Jaeb. Not long after, entrepreneur Cuban made a significant investment in the company.
The platform was a pioneer in streaming internet sports radio, enabling fans to tune in to live broadcasts of games from outside their local areas.
In 1998, amid the height of the dot-com boom, Cuban and his team took Broadcast.com public. On its debut day, the stock surged by 250%, pushing the company's valuation to around $1 billion and Cuban's personal stake to approximately $300 million.
Just nine months post-IPO, Yahoo! revealed plans to acquire Broadcast.com for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/21/04/20446634/this-day-in-market-history-mark-cuban-sells-broadcast-com-to-yahoo">$5.7 billion</a>. Cuban quickly sold off most of the Yahoo! shares he received from the deal, securing billionaire status by age 41.
In hindsight, selling to Yahoo! proved a smart move. When the dot-com bubble collapsed, Yahoo! shuttered Broadcast.com just three years later.
Adding another twist, Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>) acquired Yahoo! in 2017 for $4.5 billion, less than what Yahoo! had paid solely for Broadcast.com.

Mark Cuban Reveals Lost Broadcast.com Patents That Could've Shaped Tech's Future — Still Willing To Buy It Back, 'If Anyone There Cares'

Mastercard's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>) top product executive says shoppers are on the brink of abandoning web browsers for AI concierges that both discover and pay for goods.
What Happened: "We're convinced that we are on the eve of a paradigm shift in commerce," Mastercard&#8217;s Chief Product Officer Jorn Lambert told the Fortune Brainstorm Tech <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/05/11/online-shopping-ai-agents-fraud-mastercard-jorn-lambert/">crowd</a> last week.
Lambert said consumers already type "best running shoes" into ChatGPT instead of Google and then ask, "Once you've searched and discovered a product you want to buy, it's only natural that you then ask the AI agent to buy it on your behalf."
To keep that hand-off secure, Mastercard last week rolled out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/04/45075960/mastercard-bets-on-cross-border-payments-with-300-million-corpay-deal">Agent Pay</a>, an "agentic payments" program that registers trusted bots and wraps every transaction in cryptographic tokens.
The timing is strategic. Federal Trade Commission data show fraud losses tied to online shopping hit roughly $750 million in 2024, part of a record $12.5 billion in consumer swindles.

Lambert argues AI agents can out-sniff bogus sellers better than humans by scoring every shipment and credential in milliseconds, potentially flipping commerce's weakest link into its strongest shield.
Now, whether consumers trust a bot with their wallet remains to be seen, but the payments giant is betting that safer, friction-free clicks beat a checkout page every time.
Why It Matters: The Mastercard executive&#8217;s comments arrive on the back of OpenAI&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45058959/openai-launches-ad-free-shopping-search-in-chatgpt-heres-how-it-works">recent unveiling</a> of an upgrade to ChatGPT&#8217;s search functionality, enabling users to browse and shop for products directly within the chatbot.
The move comes as OpenAI <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42523020/chatgpt-search-goes-free-openai-challenges-googles-unbroken-search-dominance">seeks to challenge</a> 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>) dominance in search by offering a more user-centric alternative to Google&#8217;s ad-driven results.
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates also envisions a future where AI agents shake up the way users <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/05/32522731/youll-never-go-to-amazon-bill-gates-predicts-ai-agents-will-replace-search-and-shopping-websites">shop and search online</a>, rendering the likes of Amazon.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Google search obsolete.

Mastercard CFO Says Shoppers Ready To Abandon The Web Browser In Favor Of AI Agents: 'Paradigm Shift' Unfolding

Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and economist Peter Schiff have sharply criticized a reported $400 million gift of a Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) 747-8 jumbo jet from Qatar&#8217;s royal family to President Donald Trump.
What Happened: Summers questioned on X why universities face scrutiny for accepting Qatari research gifts while the president can receive such a lavish present. &#8220;This feels like banana-republic-level corruption. I hope the IRS [Internal Revenue Service] remembers that payments for services rendered represent taxable income,&#8221; Summers wrote Sunday.
Summers was referring to a federal investigation into whether U.S. universities—including Georgetown, Texas A&amp;M, Cornell, and Rutgers—properly disclosed over $250,000 in gifts or contracts from foreign sources like China, Qatar, Russia, and Saudi Arabia. The probe was <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/30/us/politics/universities-foreign-donations.html">reported</a> on by The New York Times
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

Can someone explain why this is ok but universities are crime committing if they take gifts for science research from Qatar? Can't know till we know all facts but this feels like…

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Schiff similarly criticized the arrangement, noting that &#8220;stock brokers can&#8217;t accept gifts worth over $100&#8221; while comparing the situation to monarchical privilege.
The Boeing-manufactured aircraft, described as a &#8220;flying palace,&#8221; will reportedly serve as Air Force One until Trump&#8217;s term ends, after which ownership will transfer to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation by January 2029.

Why It Matters: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the arrangement, stating the gift &#8220;complies with all applicable laws&#8221; and emphasizing the administration&#8217;s commitment to &#8220;full transparency.&#8221; Qatar&#8217;s media attaché confirmed the transfer is under consideration by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45338985/trump-reportedly-set-to-accept-flying-palace-from-qatar-white-house-says-lavish-gift-of-boeing-jumbo-jet-complies-with-all-applicable-laws">defense authorities in both countries</a>.
Trump defended the transaction on Truth Social, calling it &#8220;a very public and transparent transaction&#8221; that provides a temporary replacement for the aging 40-year-old Air Force One fleet while criticizing Democrats who &#8220;insist we pay, TOP DOLLAR, for the plane.&#8221;

Trump's $400 Million Boeing Jet Gift From Qatar Sparks Outcry From Larry Summers, Peter Schiff: 'Banana-Republic-Level Corruption'

Renowned investor Cathie Wood spotlighted an analyst&#8217;s views about the transformative potential of cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence in the financial services sector on Sunday.
What Happened: In an X post, Wood, the CEO of ARK Invest, recommended a podcast episode featuring Nikil Viswanathan, co-founder&nbsp;and CEO of web3 development&nbsp;platform Alchemy. 
In the podcast, Vishwanathan said, &#8220;Crypto&nbsp;is fundamentally the rails that&nbsp;AI is going to run&nbsp;on.&#8221; He explained the underlying gap that existed in how AI agents executing various services transact.
&#8220;AI cannot get a bank account. AI cannot walk into a branch. AI cannot have a cheque book,&#8221; Viswanathan added. He said that while individuals can give agents their own account, banks won&#8217;t allow the agents to use them.
&#8220;Even more than humans, crypto was made for AI,&#8221; he stated.

Spiker Helms, an X user, questioned why the agents cannot utilize credit cards for transactions. In response, a blockchain enthusiast using the alias look black talk white argued that an AI agent cannot fill out details such as first name, last name, and date of birth to obtain a credit card.
Why It Matters: Wood&#8217;s bullish stance on cryptocurrency and AI isn&#8217;t new. In a recent interview, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45319531/cathie-wood">she stated that AI</a> would &#8220;disrupt the traditional world order&#8221; and replace search engines like Google.

Cathie Wood Highlights Analyst's Take: 'More Than Humans, Crypto Was Made For AI'

Bhutan, the Himalayan kingdom known for its emphasis on Gross National Happiness, is strategically leveraging its abundant hydropower resources to fuel investments in green energy initiatives and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) mining, according to Ujjwal Deep Dahal, CEO of Druk Holdings and Investments, the nation&#8217;s sovereign wealth fund.
What Happened: Despite its modest size, with approximately $3 billion in assets under management compared to giants like Norway&#8217;s or Singapore&#8217;s Temasek (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMSKF#OTC">TMSKF</a>), DHI aims for efficiency and targeted growth, the Fortune <a href="https://fortune.com/asia/2025/05/11/bhutan-sovereign-wealth-fund-bitcoin-green-energy/">reported</a> on Sunday. 
Dahal, in a recent interview, emphasized that &#8220;size does not matter,&#8221; highlighting the fund&#8217;s focus on strategic investments to diversify Bhutan&#8217;s economy and attract foreign capital.
Hydropower forms the cornerstone of Bhutan&#8217;s ambitious plans. With 2.5 gigawatts of current capacity and an additional 3 gigawatts under construction, the country intends to become a hub for green energy technologies, including pump storage and hydrogen power. Dahal believes Bhutan&#8217;s unique position allows for rapid testing and deployment of these technologies, with the potential for global scaling.

Why It Matters: In a notable move, Bhutan has emerged as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44856786/bhutan-flexes-hydropower-for-bitcoin-mining-explores-sale-of-green-coins">significant holder of Bitcoin</a>, initiated through mining operations in 2019. Dahal contends that utilizing the nation&#8217;s green hydropower for crypto mining offsets carbon emissions associated with traditional mining methods. 
Dahal views Bitcoin as &#8220;a parallel to digital gold&#8221; and part of a broader strategy for alternative investments. Blockchain analytics platform Arkham estimates Bhutan&#8217;s Bitcoin holdings to be worth over $646 million as of April, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44856786/bhutan-flexes-hydropower-for-bitcoin-mining-explores-sale-of-green-coins">surpassing even El Salvador&#8217;s reserves</a>.
Bhutan is also developing the Gelephu Mindfulness City, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42892791/bhutans-special-administrative-region-announces-strategic-reserve-consisting-of-bitcoin-ethereum-bnb-coin-bhutan-is-open-to-other-cryptos-says-changpeng-cz-zhao">a special administrative region designed</a> to be an economic corridor connecting South and Southeast Asia. 
This zone aims to attract businesses in sectors like healthcare, technology, and green energy, fostering innovation and startup culture, according to Dahal. The city will also incorporate a strategic reserve of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), and Binance Coin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bnb/usd">BNB</a>), to bolster economic resilience.

Billionaire investor and the CEO of Pershing Square, Bill Ackman, flagged the contribution of various subsidies to the mounting U.S. debt and appreciated President Donald Trump for proposing an order to cut the drug prices, quoting his earlier suggestion.
What Happened: In an X post, Ackman highlighted that the U.S. has subsidized the world in trade, defense, drugs, and NGOs, contributing to the $37 trillion national debt.
However, he appreciated Trump, calling him the &#8220;first president in history to rectify the situation,&#8221; after he announced in a Truth Social post that he would be signing an executive order on Monday, cutting the drug prices in the U.S.

Ackman also shared his post dated March 8 and said, Trump &#8220;must have liked my idea,&#8221; where he penned his suggestions regarding the drug prices and pharma industry.
According to his old post, the best way to reduce drug prices in the U.S. was to make it illegal for drug companies to sell the same drugs abroad for lower prices.
&#8220;This will force a globally negotiated price that will be lower than the prices that U.S. consumers pay now and higher than what foreigners pay now,&#8221; he added.

Why It Matters: Trump, in a Truth Social post, said that he will sign an executive order on Monday at 9:00 a.m. ET, which will lead the prescription drug and pharmaceutical prices to drop by 30% to 80%.
&#8220;They will rise throughout the World in order to equalize and, for the first time in many years, bring FAIRNESS TO AMERICA! I will be instituting a MOST FAVORED NATION'S POLICY whereby the United States will pay the same price as the Nation that pays the lowest price anywhere in the World,&#8221; he added.
Trump also believes that healthcare costs in the U.S. will be reduced after this move, and it would save &#8220;trillions of dollars.&#8221;

OpenAI is reportedly in high-stakes negotiations with Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) to revise the terms of their multibillion-dollar partnership.
What Happened: A key sticking point of the negotiation is how much equity Microsoft will receive in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45213089/openai-reverses-course-as-sam-altman-says-nonprofit-will-remain-in-control-amid-elon-musks-lawsuit-and-investor-pushback">restructured OpenAI entity</a> in exchange for its more than $13 billion investment to date, reported the Financial Times, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/8d9e5149-7e4f-4886-a035-9d200204972a">citing</a> multiple sources.
Talks also involve revising an existing contract, signed when Microsoft first invested $1 billion in 2019, that governs access to OpenAI's intellectual property and outlines a revenue-sharing arrangement.

OpenAI's IPO Ambitions Hang In The Balance As Microsoft Negotiates Equity: Report

Investing legend Peter Lynch warned investors that "the sucker's going up is not a good reason" to buy a stock, chastising traders who chase high-flyers without understanding the businesses behind them.
What Happened: Lynch's caution, which came in a rare CNBC <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-6fv09KCDw">interview</a>, carries weight. He steered Fidelity's Magellan Fund to an average 29.2% annual return from 1977 to 1990, a run that more than doubled the S&amp;P 500 and turned $20 million into $14 billion. The Boston native also popularized the motto &#8220;invest in what you know,&#8221; reminding savers that only a handful of "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45338212/peter-lynchs-market-advice-if-you-have-lot-of-stocks-some-will-do-mediocre-some-will-do-okay-if-one-or-two-go-up-big-time-you-produce-a-fabulous-result">ten-baggers</a>" can offset inevitable losers.
In the April 2023 interview, Lynch lamented that many shoppers &#8220;are careful when they buy a refrigerator," yet will drop thousands on a tip heard &#8220;on the bus,&#8221; skipping even a cursory balance-sheet check. His fix requires a clear, fact-based thesis on why earnings, not momentum, should lift a stock.

He still hunts for companies "either in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44211455/peter-lynchs-evergreen-market-advice-if-you-cant-find-growth-companies-in-innings-three-through-five-look-at-turnarounds">turnaround mode</a> or poised to grow," singling out off-price retailer TJX, chip titan Nvidia, and earlier success stories Panera and Family Dollar as examples of the kind of "something different" narratives worth researching, though he stopped short of recommending any outright.
Even the maestro has regrets. &#8220;Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) was not that hard to understand. I mean, how dumb was I?&#8221; he admitted, adding that Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) became a &#8220;huge stock&#8221; after he passed. Still, Lynch insists his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44067613/peter-lynchs-four-step-stock-market-guide-buy-what-you-know-read-presentations-know-market-cycle-and-summ">1989 playbook</a> holds up: turn over more rocks than the crowd, stay patient, and never let a chart do the thinking.
Why It Matters: Lynch isn&#8217;t the only one who believes in truly understanding a business through and through before investing in it. Warren Buffett, for one, likes to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44067982/heres-how-warren-buffett-made-billions-from-an-industry-he-didnt-understand">pore over</a> annual reports like most people scroll social media.
Peter Lynch, like Buffett, also believes in locking in on prospects for the long run. In his book &#8216;Learn to Earn&#8217;, Lynch advocates for a twenty-year <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44780176/peter-lynchs-advice-for-successful-investors-stick-with-your-stocks-no-matter-what-ignore-so-called-smart-advice">investment horizon</a> as the ideal timeframe for stock market success. This span, he says, provides sufficient time to bounce back from market slumps and amass profits.
