James Howells, who is pursuing a legal battle to retrieve his $775 million Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) fortune, now wants to buy the landfill site where the stash has been allegedly dumped.
What happened: Howells said the option is "very much on the table," <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj3eg3n11gvo">according </a>to a BBC report on Sunday.&nbsp;
&#8220;I would be potentially interested in purchasing the landfill site,&#8221; he was quoted as saying, a day after reports emerged that Newport City Council was planning to close the site.
Howells sought permission from the authorities to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41308908/man-who-accidentally-threw-hard-drive-containing-8-000-bitcoins-worth-half-a-billion-dolla">excavate the site</a> to recover a discarded hard drive containing 8,000 BTC, but the court denied the plea, citing environmental concerns with excavation.
The Wales-based software engineer was surprised by the decision to close the site soon after arguing against its excavation.
The Newport City Council didn't immediately return Benzinga's request for comment on this matter.

Why It Matters: The unfortunate incident <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42232028/remember-james-howells-who-lost-his-hard-drive-with-8000-bitcoins-now-worth-760m-his-ex-girlfriend-reveals-it-was-she-who-threw-it-away">dates back to 2013</a>, when Howells' ex-girlfriend unintentionally put a hard drive containing 8,000 BTC in the trash.
When he lost the legal bid to excavate the site, Howells even turned toward Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43019699/man-who-accidentally-threw-away-bitcoin-worth-800-million-looks-to-trump-for-help-i-am-appealing-to-him">for help</a>, possibly influenced by the U.S. president's pro-cryptocurrency stance.
The 8,000 Bitcoins would be worth $872.91 million at the all-time high price of $109.114 and $775.84 million at the prevailing market price of $96,980.84.

McDonald&#8217;s Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) is set to debut its first-ever meal collaboration with a female athlete on Monday, featuring basketball champion Angel Reese, just as the company prepares to release its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants/25/02/43567615/mcdonalds-chart-is-smiling-ahead-of-q4-earnings-is-this-the-big-mac-moment">fourth-quarter earnings report</a> on Monday.
What Happened: The Angel Reese Special, which includes a BBQ Bacon Quarter Pounder with new Bold BBQ Sauce, World Famous Fries, and a choice of drink, marks a strategic expansion of McDonald&#8217;s sports-focused marketing initiatives. 
The collaboration was announced by Jennifer Healan, McDonald&#8217;s Vice President of Marketing, Brand, Content &amp; Culture, who emphasized the company&#8217;s commitment to strengthening its connection with basketball fans.
&#8220;McDonald&#8217;s has always been a big part of my life, from grabbing a McChicken Sandwich as a kid to being named a McDonald&#8217;s All-American in 2020,&#8221; Reese stated in the announcement. 
The meal will be available through McDonald&#8217;s mobile app, in restaurants, and drive-thrus at participating U.S. locations.

Why It Matters: The launch represents a significant marketing shift for McDonald&#8217;s, building upon its 40-year history with basketball through the McDonald&#8217;s All-American Games. The timing coincides with the company&#8217;s efforts to maintain momentum in 2025, following a modest year-to-date stock performance of +0.61% as of Friday.
Investors will be watching Monday&#8217;s earnings report closely to assess how such marketing initiatives, alongside other strategic moves, may impact the company&#8217;s financial performance. 
Price Action: McDonald&#8217;s shares closed at $294.30 on Friday, showing a slight decline of 0.02% for the day but maintaining a 1.68% gain over the past year, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

A Cybertruck reportedly crashed into a curb and a light post while Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) full self-driving (FSD) driver assistance technology was deployed.
What Happened: The accident was flagged by Jonathan Challinger, a Florida-based software engineer.
&#8220;Soooooo my Tesla Cybertruck crashed into a curb and then a light post on v13.2.4,&#8221; Challinger wrote on social media platform X on Sunday while terming FSD &#8220;the best passive safety in the world.&#8221;
The software engineer alleged that the vehicle did not attempt to slow down or turn off the lane until it hit the curb.
&#8220;Big fail on my part, obviously. Don&#8217;t make the same mistake I did. Pay attention. It can happen. I follow Tesla and FSD pretty closely and haven&#8217;t heard of any accident on V13 at all before this happened. It is easy to get complacent now &#8211; don&#8217;t,&#8221; Challinger said while adding that he only was looking to inform Tesla of the occurrence and has dashcam footage of the accident.

Why It Matters: U.S. auto safety regulator National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) flagged concerns about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41867551/tesla-faces-nhtsa-scrutiny-over-social-media-promotion-of-fsd-technology-that-shows-disengaged-driver-behavior">Tesla&#8217;s projection of FSD</a> on social media platform X in a letter to the EV giant last year.
Tesla's FSD technology is a driver assistance technology that requires active driver supervision. While vehicle owner manuals and YouTube videos clarify that the technology does not make the vehicle autonomous, Tesla's X account has reported or endorsed postings that "exhibit disengaged driver behavior," the auto safety regulator wrote in a letter to Tesla.
"We believe that Tesla&#8217;s postings conflict with its stated messaging that the driver is to maintain continued control over the dynamic driving task. We similarly observe that these postings may encourage viewers to see FSD-Supervised as a Chauffer or &#8220;Robotaxi&#8221; rather than a partial automation / driver assist system that requires persistent attention and intermittent intervention by the driver," the regulator said while requesting the EV giant to revisit its communications.
In October, the NHTSA also opened an investigation into<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" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 2.4 million Tesla vehicles</a> following reports of four crashes in which FSD was engaged.
The regulator then said that it had identified four crash reports in which a Tesla experienced a crash after entering an area of &#8220;reduced roadway visibility&#8221; with FSD engaged.&nbsp;The reduced visibility, the regulator said, was caused by sun glare, fog, or airborne dust.
In one of the crashes, the vehicle struck and killed a pedestrian, the regulator added.

The cryptocurrency market recouped a significant portion of its valuation last week, with many top coins registering double-digit gains.
What happened: TAO, the native token of the decentralized artificial intelligence platform Bittensor, led the market with 30% gains in the last week.&nbsp;
The cryptocurrency has gained momentum after Barry Silbert, head of cryptocurrency conglomerate Digital Currency Group, voiced optimism for decentralized AI in a letter to shareholders.

On Sunday, Kendrick Lamar took over the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43583058/super-bowl-ads-go-all-in-on-ai-stars-and-8m-price-tags-elon-musk-shared-this-advert-with-his-followers">Super Bowl 2025</a> Halftime Show with a high-energy set, surprise guests, and the long-awaited live debut of the diss track "Not Like Us."&nbsp;
What Happened: Lamar's 13-minute set at the Caesars Superdome was packed with back-to-back hits from GNX and classics like HUMBLE and DNA.
The energy spiked when Solána Imani Rowe, known professionally as SZA joined him for their 2024 track "Luther" and "All the Stars." Record producer and DJ Mustard hyped up the crowd with "TV Off," while Serena Williams made a surprise cameo showing off her dancing skills.

Samuel L. Jackson, draped in a tailcoat and top hat, played the role of Uncle Sam and added dramatic interjections between songs. The biggest moment came when Lamar teased "Not Like Us" twice before finally dropping the viral diss track.
Why It Matters: After the show, Williams posted on X, formerly Twiter, "Super Bowl halftime show babyyyyyyyyy," later adding, "Let's go Super Bowl halftime??! I died a little!"

This halftime show also underscored the growing presence of hip-hop at the Super Bowl, following past performances by Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, and Rihanna. However, many people on X expressed their disappointment with this year's halftime show.

Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl Halftime Show Teases Diss Track 'Not Like Us' Before Delivering The Ultimate Mic Drop Moment—Samuel L. Jackson, Serena Williams, And SZA Join The Spectacle

The Philadelphia Eagles&#8217; 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs at Super Bowl LIX marked not just a shift in NFL power dynamics but also represented another test of the event&#8217;s advertising and viewership supremacy, as industry observers await official audience numbers.
What Happened: Last month, Brian Steinberg of Variety.com noted that Nielsen&#8216;s Big Data + Panel now officially measures total audiences. Super Bowl LVIII drew 123.7 million viewers, ranking as the second most-watched television program in U.S. history after the 1969 moon landing. Even with a 10% boost to 136.7 million, that&#8217;s still far from the U.S. population of 335 million, <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/changes-to-nielsens-out-of-home-measurements-could-result-in-biggest-super-bowl-tv-audience-ever">according</a> to NBC Sports.
This year&#8217;s broadcast strategy included a streaming component through Fox&#8217;s Tubi platform. The Spanish-language rights were shared between Fox Deportes and Telemundo in an arrangement <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/05/38742147/foxs-growth-prospects-competitive-valuation-stand-out-against-disney-paramount-analyst-sees">aimed at maximizing reach</a>.
The event maintained its celebrity appeal, with notable attendees including Taylor Swift and President Donald Trump, who made history as the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl.

Why It Matters: Fox Sports sold out its premium advertising inventory months before the game, with some spots commanding $8 million for 30 seconds, according to Fox Sports Executive Vice President Mark Evans. The high-stakes advertising playground attracted major tech companies and traditional brands alike, with artificial intelligence <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43583058/super-bowl-ads-go-all-in-on-ai-stars-and-8m-price-tags-elon-musk-shared-this-advert-with-his-followers">emerging as a dominant theme</a>.
Notable advertisers included Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Google, which faced scrutiny for claims in its Gemini AI ad, Salesforce Inc.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) with a star-studded spot featuring Chris Pratt and Chris Hemsworth. In a significant return to Super Bowl advertising, Nike Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) broke its 27-year hiatus with a women-empowerment-themed commercial.

Eagles Fly Over Chiefs 40-22 As Super Bowl LIX Tests Potential 137 Million Viewership For Fox

Controversial rapper&nbsp;Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, denied intentions to launch his own meme coin on Saturday, stating that he only focuses on things he is &#8220;knowledgeable&#8221; about.
What Happened:&nbsp;The famous hip-hop artist took to X to express his disdain for the growing trend of celebrity-endorsed cryptocurrencies. 
&#8220;M not doing a coin.&nbsp;I make products. I only&nbsp;do things I am passionate&nbsp;and knowledgeable about. I&#8217;m too&nbsp;rich to do anything else. Coins prey on the&nbsp;fans with hype,&#8221; Ye said.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<a href="https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1888184202371494304" title="https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1888184202371494304">https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1888184202371494304</a>
</div>

He further revealed that he was offered $2 million to &#8220;scam&#8221; his community, an offer he promptly declined.

</figure>
Ye&#8217;s remarks triggered a 77% collapse in the value of an unrelated meme coin, Kanye West (YE), <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/">according</a> to CoinMarketCap. Note that the coin had very thin liquidity as of this writing, with no trading happening on mainstream cryptocurrency exchanges.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;Ye&#8217;s remarks come in the wake of several celebrity meme coin launches in recent weeks, the most prominent being Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>), launched by President Donald Trump, and Official Melania (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">MELANIA</a>) by the First Lady.
The coins have accumulated tens of billions in combined market valuation, with speculations that the first couple&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43118779/trump-memecoin-regains-momentum-rallies-22-as-the-president-calls-billions-earned-through-the-venture-as-peanuts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">may benefit directly</a>&nbsp;from the gains. 
Top cryptocurrency voices like Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) creator Vitalik Buterin have long argued against such projects, stating that they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43182670/amid-trump-token-frenzy-ethereums-vitalik-buterin-warns-of-unlimited-political-bribery-via-memecoins">just benefit celebrities and early adopters</a>.
This was not the first time Ye has voiced his disapproval of the digital asset trend.

Kanye West Won't Jump Aboard Meme Coin Bandwagon Despite A '$2 Million Offer': 'Coins Prey On The Fans With Hype'

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is reportedly ramping up its recruitment efforts for its home robotics division.
What Happened: In his latest weekly "Power On" newsletter, Bloomberg columnist Mark Gurman said that the company has posted several job listings for robotics specialists over the past few weeks.
"As a member of the team, you'll have the opportunity to work with a small team of highly skilled engineers and scientists to bring new experiences to Apple products," the tech giant stated.

Apple&#8217;s robotics development is handled by two teams: the Home Labs hardware engineering group and Kevin Lynch's AI special projects team.
They are focused on a tabletop robot and, in the future, possibly a humanoid model, Gurman said.
The company is still in the early stages of researching mobile robots, both humanoid and non-humanoid. However, the tabletop robot is expected to debut by 2027.

Apple Ramping Up Hiring For Home Robotics Team, Says Top Analyst: What's Brewing?

Tubi is offering a free live stream of Super Bowl LIX, but if you&#8217;re trying to cast it to your TV using Chromecast (Google Cast), it&#8217;s reportedly not working as expected.
What Happened: At first, it was thought Google's Chromecast service was down because they couldn't cast the Super Bowl from the Tubi app.
However, Chromecast from Alphabet Inc.'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, itself is working fine—this issue is due to how Tubi has set up its Super Bowl stream, <a href="https://9to5google.com/2025/02/09/chromecast-tubi-not-down-super-bowl-lix/">reported</a> 9To5Google.

Why Isn&#8217;t It Working On Chromecast
Tubi&#8217;s app usually lets you cast most of its content to a TV using Chromecast from the "Stream" tab. However, for the Super Bowl, Tubi made it available only through a special button on the app's homepage.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
This button doesn't allow casting, so when you try to watch the game, it stays on your phone instead of appearing on your TV, the report noted.
Users on X, formerly Twitter, complained about glitching issues. When Tubi&#8217;s official handle asked which devices are they using, some people replied saying Apple TV and Samsung TV, one frustrated user said, &#8220;every device I own.&#8221;

To another user, who shared a video of showing their screen stuck, Tubi said the issue could be linked to the device&#8217;s color format settings.

Michael Saylor, co-founder of the newly branded Strategy Inc.

What Happened: Saylor posted a chart that tracks the&nbsp;company&#8217;s Bitcoin purchases on X. 
&#8220;Death to the blue lines.&nbsp;Long live the green dots,&#8221; the influential CEO of Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, wrote.

The latest post possibly signaled the resumption of the Bitcoin-buying streak.

Michael Saylor Declares 'Death To Blue Lines, Long Live Green Dots:' Is Strategy's BTC Purchase Streak About To Resume?

A prominent Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) investor and CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management, Ross Gerber, voiced strong criticism of Tesla&#8217;s Full Self-Driving system, particularly its performance on the Cybertruck, amid the company&#8217;s push toward autonomous driving capabilities.
What Happened: Gerber reported multiple disengagements over 40 miles while testing FSD version 13.2.6 on the Cybertruck, describing the system as &#8220;not usable&#8221; and noting it &#8220;hugs the lane on the left too far over.&#8221; 
He directly compared Tesla&#8217;s technology to Alphabet Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Waymo, stating that Tesla&#8217;s FSD is &#8220;not even in the same league as Waymo at this point.&#8221;
Gerber&#8217;s comments sparked debate within the Tesla community, with some users reporting contrasting experiences. One user cited 1,800 miles of driving with only one safety-critical disengagement.

Why It Matters: The criticism comes at a crucial time for Tesla&#8217;s autonomous driving ambitions. CEO Elon Musk recently predicted that Tesla&#8217;s FSD would surpass human driving safety by the second quarter of 2025. However, Tesla researcher Troy Teslike has raised concerns about the company&#8217;s approach, suggesting Tesla is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/02/43576866/tesla-researcher-says-ev-giant-is-skipping-a-step-to-driverless-operations-it-took-waymo-three-years">attempting to skip crucial development steps</a> that competitors like Waymo spent years perfecting.
Goldman Sachs analyst Mark Delaney, while acknowledging &#8220;meaningful improvement&#8221; with FSD version 13, maintains a cautious stance with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/43036902/tesla-stock-valuation-analyst-flags-long-term-growth-opportunities-robotaxis-fsd">Neutral rating and $345 price target on Tesla stock</a>. Delaney projects limited initial revenue from robotaxi operations, forecasting approximately $115 million by 2027 based on a fleet of 1,500 vehicles.
Tesla&#8217;s autonomous driving initiatives face ongoing regulatory scrutiny, with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently opening <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42894743/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-says-fsd-will-be-safer-than-human-drivers-in-q2-2025">investigations into 2.6 million</a> Tesla vehicles equipped with FSD technology following safety concerns and reported incidents.

Tesla Investor Ross Gerber Slams FSD On Cybertruck As 'Not Usable,' Says It's 'Not Even In The Same League As Waymo'

A new trend has emerged among Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) Watch users, who are now wearing the device on their ankles.
What Happened: Fitness enthusiasts like Ana Espinal have adopted this practice to improve heart rate monitoring, especially for those with smaller wrists, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/08/style/apple-watch-ankles.html">reported</a> the New York Times.
Others, such as Shaniece Gale, a medical assistant from Ontario, have embraced this method for practical reasons. After giving birth, Gale found it challenging to track her steps while pushing a stroller.
By wearing the watch on her ankle, she could accurately monitor her activity without tiring her arms, the report noted.

Despite the benefits, the trend has led to misunderstandings. Espinal recounted an incident at the gym where someone mistook her ankle-worn watch for an ankle monitor.
Apple notes in support materials that key Watch features are designed and tested for wrist use only. The watch, for instance, uses LED lights and semiconductors to measure blood flow through the wrist.
Apple did not immediately respond to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"> Benzinga's</a> request for comments.

Why It Matters: The trend of wearing Apple Watches on ankles comes at a time when the company is facing increased competition in the wearables market.
Last year it was reported that Chinese tech giants like Huawei Technologies are making significant strides, with a 20% surge in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42570544/apple-watch-is-getting-a-run-for-its-money-as-chinese-tech-giants-led-by-huawei-lead-20-growth-in-global-wrist-worn-device-market">global wrist-worn device</a> market.
Apple&#8217;s <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43355688/apple-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-iphone-sales-slip-installed-base-climbs-to-all-time-high-our-best-quarter-ever">first-quarter earnings</a> showed revenue of $124.3 billion, exceeding analyst estimates of $124.13 billion. Revenue from Wearables, Home, and Accessories reached $11.75 billion, slightly lower than last year&#8217;s $11.95 billion.
Price Action: Apple&#8217;s stock fell 2.40% on Friday, closing at $227.63. After hours, it edged down 0.17% to $227.25, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Apple Watch Users Are Strapping Them To Their Ankles — Here's Why Its Leaving Some People Bewildered

Editor&#8217;s Note: This story has been updated to reflect the latest developments in Super Bowl LIX.
The&nbsp;Philadelphia Eagles&nbsp;emerged victorious at Super Bowl LIX, defeating defending champions&nbsp;&nbsp;Kansas City Chiefs,&nbsp;by 40-22. The result defied a pre-match forecast by President&nbsp;Donald Trump, who picked the Chiefs to emerge victorious for a third consecutive Super Bowl victory. Interestingly, bettors on the cryptocurrency market&nbsp;Polymarket&nbsp;had placed high odds in favor of an Eagles victory.
The Chiefs are the reigning champions, looking for their third consecutive Super Bowl victory.
What Happened: Trump, who became the first U.S. president to attend a Super Bowl event, also leaned in favor of a Chiefs victory.
"I have to go with Kansas City," Trump said in an interview with Fox News. "It&#8217;s going to be just a great game."

</figure>
Quite interestingly, cryptocurrency bettors differed from Trump's opinion.&nbsp;
Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">POL</a>)-based prediction platform Polymarket projected an <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/superbowl-champion-2025/will-the-saints-win-super-bowl-2025?tid=1739150996190">overwhelming </a>93% odds of an Eagles victory as of this writing.&nbsp;
Notably, over a billion dollars were wagered on the outcome, making it one of the most hotly watched events by punters.

That said, even bettors on the federally regulated Kalshi also leaned in favor of an Eagles victory.
Super Bowl LIX is set to deliver an electrifying rematch between the two giants. At halftime,&nbsp;the Eagles were dominating the Chiefs with a scoreline of 24-0.
