Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk slammed Governor Tim Walz (D-Minn.) during an interview, accusing him of being a "cr&#x2A;&#x2A;p" for <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44451467/tim-walz-backtracks-on-tesla-stock-jab-i-was-making-a-joke-after-kevin-olearys-criticism">mocking his EV company's</a> stock price decline.
What Happened: Appearing on the special report with Bret Baier, Musk referenced an event held by Walz in Wisconsin on March 18, where the governor joked about Tesla's sliding stock.&nbsp;
"On the iPhone, they've got that little stock app. I added Tesla to it to give me a little boost during the day," Walz quipped, adding, "$225 and dropping," as the crowd laughed.
Musk didn't take the joke lightly. "I mean, you have Tim Walz, who's a huge j&#x2A;&#x2A;k, you know, running around on stage with the Tesla stock price, where the stock price had gone in half," Musk said.

Why It's Important: The Tesla chief's comments come as his electric vehicle company has seen its stock plunge over 30.51% year-to-date amid waning demand for EVs, pricing pressures, and questions over a reported <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44410602/elon-musks-tesla-faces-1-4-billion-discrepancy-in-capital-expenditure-report">$1.4 billion gap in capital expenditures</a>.
Walz has also commented on the backlash he received after mocking Tesla stock, saying, "I have to be careful about being a smart&#x2A;&#x2A;s. I was making a joke. These people have no sense of humor."
Previously, Kevin O'Leary criticized Walz, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44429717/kevin-oleary-blasts-tim-walzs-dig-at-tesla-stock-hes-mocking-a-company-his-own-pension-fund-invests-in">calling his remarks "beyond stu&#x2A;&#x2A;d,"</a> noting that Minnesota's State Board of Investment owns about 1.6 million Tesla shares through its retirement fund.
"What's the matter with that guy? He doesn't check the well-being of his own constituents? What a bozo," O'Leary said.
Walz, who was former Vice President Kamala Harris's running mate in the 2024 presidential race, has been an outspoken critic of both Musk and the Donald Trump administration, where the Tesla CEO currently leads the Department of Government Efficiency.
Price Action: Tesla&#8217;s stock fell 3.51% during Friday&#8217;s regular trading session, closing at $263.55, and slipped another 1.34% in after-hours trading to $260.02. Over the past year, the stock has climbed 50.41%, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Elon Musk Blasts Minnesota Governor Tim Walz Over Tesla Stock Mockery, Says It's 'Evil' To Celebrate Others' Losses

A former executive at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) said Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) is too far behind to catch up—and should focus on mature process chips instead of trying to rival the world's top chip foundry.
What Happened: At a book launch event in Taiwan earlier this week, Chiang Shang-Yi, TSMC's former co-chief operating officer, delivered a blunt assessment of Intel's current position in the chip industry, <a href="https://udn.com/news/story/7240/8637258">reported</a> China's United Daily News.
Chiang, who played a critical role in building TSMC into a global semiconductor powerhouse, said Intel was once the "king" of the industry—but is now a "nobody."
He warned that Intel's efforts to compete with TSMC in advanced chip manufacturing, such as the 2-nanometer node, are futile, and urged the company to consider acquiring or merging with companies that specialize in mature manufacturing processes.

"Intel should merge with a mature process chipmaker," he said, without naming specific targets.
However, he alluded to two potential candidates that industry watchers believe could be Taiwan's United Microelectronics Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UMC#NYSE">UMC</a>) or U.S.-based GlobalFoundries Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GFS#NASDAQ">GFS</a>), both of which produce chips using older, more stable technologies at scale.

Earlier, it was reported that Intel&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44532855/intels-superfluid-cooling-tech-possibly-suitable-for-nvidias-gb300-chips-says-expert-amid-intcs-efforts-to-secure-commitments-for-foundry-services">SuperFluid cooling technology</a> is gaining attention for its potential application in Nvidia&#8217;s AI servers.
Price Action: Intel&#8217;s shares closed at $22.71 on Friday, reflecting a 3.85% decline. In after-hours trading, the stock dipped an additional 0.44%. Year to date, Intel has risen 12.31%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Retirement should be a time of financial peace, not stress; yet, for many soon-to-be retirees, the transition from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40147003/rich-dad-poor-dad-author-robert-kiyosaki-sees-wealth-accumulation-in-market-declines-markets-are-cra">wealth accumulation</a> to income generation can be challenging.
The pressure to restructure the portfolio, ensuring it generates sufficient <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44461718/high-income-earner-with-3000-monthly-to-invest-faces-big-decision-i-definitely-want-to-diversify-beyond-ai-and-dividends">income</a> to live comfortably, is immense, more so when market volatility looms. For those with low-risk tolerance, the task is even more daunting because the wrong move could mean returning to work or cutting back on living expenses drastically.

A Redditor has shared in a post that he&#8217;s faced with this exact challenge. With just eight months until retirement, the investor, a 62-year-old, has $400,000 to invest and is looking for maximal monthly dividend income with minimal risk.
Although this income won&#8217;t be his primary retirement funding but extra lifestyle cash to supplement his pension, the pressure to restructure his allocations wisely is immense for the poster.
&#8220;I&#8217;m in an odd spot due to exiting a business as a founder. My retirement scenario gets better every year. If I ever need extra cash, it will be in the first 5 years. I have a low-risk tolerance. Or, God forbid, I would need to go back to work if it crashed! It looks like we are in a dip now, obviously a high rate environment. Would this qualify as a better time to buy?&#8221; the investor wrote.

Go For Higher-Yielding Income Plays
Several Redditors suggested business development companies and covered-call ETFs since they deliver around 8% to 11% yields if the investor can handle a bit of risk.
&#8220;High-quality [business development companies] like [Ares Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/arcc#NASDAQ">ARCC</a>)​], [Blue Owl Capital Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/obdc#NYSE">OBDC</a>)], [Golub Capital BDC (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbdc#NASDAQ">GBDC</a>)], [Blackstone Secured Lending Fund (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bxsl#NYSE">BXSL</a>)], [Main Street Capital Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/main#NYSE">MAIN</a>)], [Capital Southwest Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cswc#NASDAQ">CSWC</a>)], [Fidus Investment Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fdus#NASDAQ">FDUS</a>)]. Average 9% yield,&#8221; a user recommended.
&#8220;[Business development companies] are a solid income-producing asset. This person doesn&#8217;t have decades to wait for growth. They need the money now as they are about to retire and growth was presumably the focus for the past few decades,&#8221; an advocate for business development companies wrote.
A Redditor shared in the comments that he&#8217;s been retired for 15 years and has the biggest part of his portfolio in high-yield business development companies.
&#8220;I&#8217;m 78 and have been retired for 15 years. I&#8217;m fortunate that social security and pensions cover my living expenses. The majority of my portfolio is high-yield [business development companies], [closed-end funds], and [real estate investment trusts]. The average yield is a tad over 10%. In 2022, the total value dropped but less than the DOW or S&amp;P. The dividends kept on coming without missing a beat. High risk they say, high rewards I say. It allows me to spend winters in Florida and yearly overseas vacations. I have zero regrets,&#8221; the retiree said.

62-Year-Old With $400K And 8 Months To Retire Faces Huge Dilemma – 'How Would You Invest $400K?' Redditors Debate Best Low-Risk Moves

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43303778/bill-gates-says-this-book-on-ai-will-change-every-industry-predicts-millions-of-jobs-will-vanish-by-2030">Bill Gates</a> once expressed a deep concern about Microsoft&#8217;s future (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) when he stepped down as CEO in 2000. He worried the company might lose its famed standard of excellence and that the chance to guide it back might one day be missed.&nbsp;
Even as he moved toward focusing on his philanthropic work, those early misgivings lingered in his mind. Despite the anxiety, Microsoft has charted an impressive course over the years.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Leadership That Transformed a Giant</h2>
Gates' fears eventually proved unnecessary. Steve Ballmer, who steered the company from 2000 until 2014, pushed Microsoft to unprecedented heights, setting the stage for the current era under Satya Nadella. He has been at the helm since 2014.
A look at the numbers reveals the scale of the transformation. According to <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/money/ask/microsoft-market-cap-historical">Statmuse</a>, Microsoft&#8217;s market capitalization reached $3.1 trillion on Dec. 31. Moreover, <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/investor/reports/ar24/index.html?utm_">Microsoft's annual reports</a> show that the company pulled in over $245 billion in annual revenue for fiscal 2024, a 16% jump from the previous year.
These milestones paint a picture of a company that met and exceeded early expectations. Gates hasn&#8217;t entirely stepped away. In a <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/bill-gates-interview-5-things-e11c3fa2">Wall Street Journal interview</a> on Jan. 26, he said, "I love doing product reviews, and [Satya Nadella] brings me in to do that." He added that while that's only 15% of his time, it helps him stay up to date, particularly in artificial intelligence, where Microsoft has made major moves.&nbsp;
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
This ongoing involvement allows him to harness the company&#8217;s vast resources to support the philanthropic foundation he co-founded with his ex-wife, Melinda French Gates. Though he left the CEO chair in 2000 and the board in 2020, his role as an advisor remains influential in shaping the company&#8217;s future.
Adding a dose of counterbalance to the success story, some industry experts see potential challenges ahead. Gil Luria, senior analyst at D.A. Davidson, said that Microsoft&#8217;s hefty investment in artificial intelligence—an $80 billion initiative scheduled for 2025—coupled with economic uncertainties, could pose risks, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/microsofts-costs-focus-fears-rise-over-slow-payoff-ai-2024-07-29">Reuters</a> reported.

According to<a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/microsoft-has-been-the-worst-big-tech-stock-lately-heres-why-it-may-become-the-best-c0e5794e"> MarketWatch</a>, Luria's Neutral rating with a $425 target reflects the idea that while Microsoft&#8217;s track record is impressive, the optimal moment for investors might still be ahead.
On Jan. 29, Microsoft's stock fell 4.5% in after-hours trading after the company forecast slower growth in its Azure cloud computing division and faced concerns over rising AI-related expenditures, according to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/microsoft-beats-quarterly-revenue-estimates-2025-01-29/">Reuters</a>.&nbsp;
The company's capital expenditures reached $22.6 billion, exceeding analyst expectations and raising questions about near-term financial returns. Additionally, growing competition from lower-cost AI models developed by Chinese firms has fueled concerns about Microsoft's ability to monetize its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43903135/ais-19-9-trillion-impact-could-create-the-first-trillionaire-but-mark-cuban-says-it-wont-be-musk-or-bezos">AI</a> investments effectively.

Traders with this signal closely watch for sustained momentum in Lillys stock price, interpreting this event as a bullish sign.
Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

Wall Street stumbled Friday as investors hustled to reevaluate their expectations with a hotter-than-anticipated inflation report and growing worries about imminent trade tariffs. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs tracking the broad indexes</a> S&amp;P500 and Nasdaq 100, like SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), The iShares Core S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVV#NYSE">IVV</a>) and the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), suffered losses as traders processed the most recent inflation reading and an alarming consumer sentiment report.
Inflation Halts Advancements Toward Rate Reduction
The Fed&#8217;s favored measure of inflation, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price gauge, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44535109/feds-favorite-inflation-gauge-rises-more-than-expected-in-february-casting-doubt-on-near-term-rate-cuts">rose 2.5% from the prior year, as expected</a>. Yet the core PCE that is watched most closely, adjusting for fidgety food and energy prices, gained 2.8%, beating expectations of 2.7% and its hottest level in more than a year.
LPL Financial chief economist Jeffrey Roach added that the increase in the core PCE print highlights <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44542821/inflation-will-accelerate-in-coming-months-if-april-2-tariffs-take-effect-economist-warns">lingering inflationary pressure</a>. He cited the rising savings rate, which hit 4.6%, as a sign that consumers are increasingly conservative about the outlook of the economy.
Comerica Bank&#8217;s chief economist, Bill Adams, seconded these fears, calling for a deceleration in consumer spending to weigh on real GDP growth in the first quarter of 2025.

Market Sell-Off: SPY, IVV And QQQ Take The Brunt
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/inflation">latest inflation figures</a> fueled a widespread sell-off on Wall Street on Friday, as all three major indexes lost heavily. S&amp;P 500 lost 2%, with the Nasdaq 100 losing 2.6%. Consequently, the SPY, an ETF that follows the S&amp;P 500, lost 2%, with QQQ, which follows the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100, losing 2.6% on Friday. IVV, another major ETF tracking the S&amp;P 500, also slumped 2%.
Tech stocks were hammered, with all of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44542620/inflation-fears-spark-risk-off-sentiment-as-magnificent-7-drop-whats-driving-markets-friday">Magnificent Seven trading in the red</a>. Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) led the decline, dropping 4.3% and 4.9%, respectively. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), one of the highest holdings in SPY, wiped out its previous day&#8217;s gain, falling 3.4%.
Outlook: Volatility On The Horizon For SPY And QQQ
As inflation remained stickier than expected and the Federal Reserve increasingly under pressure to maintain higher rates, volatility in SPY and QQQ can be expected to continue. The slowdown in consumer spending, coupled with higher inflation and trade uncertainties, has created a vulnerable setup for the equity markets.
Though steady real disposable income growth could be a short-term buffer, as analyst Roach cautioned, any deceleration in pay growth would present an even bigger threat to the overall economy. Investors now look to the Federal Reserve&#8217;s next steps and the next steps in tariffs for more guidance in this uncharted economic climate.

Sticky Inflation Weighs On Markets — SPY, QQQ, Tech Stocks Take A Hit

In the current session, the stock is trading at $35.75, after a 0.22% increase. Over the past month, CenterPoint Energy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNP#NYSE">CNP</a>) stock increased by 5.44%, and in the past year, by 27.55%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743199227_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>CenterPoint Energy P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 69.68 in the Multi-Utilities industry, CenterPoint Energy Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 22.58. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743199227_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Charlie Javice Found Guilty Of Defrauding JPMorgan Chase&nbsp;</h2>
Charlie Javice was convicted on Friday of defrauding JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) in its $175 million acquisition of the student<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43794325/jp-morgans-acquisition-of-student-loan-start-up-falls-out-founder-in-court-for-alleged-fraud-ceo-jamie-dimon-calls-it-a-huge-mistake"> finance startup Frank.&nbsp;</a>
According to a Bloomberg<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-28/charlie-javice-convicted-of-defrauding-jpmorgan-in-startup-deal"> report</a>, a Manhattan federal jury determined that the 32-year-old entrepreneur falsified user data to inflate Frank's customer base from fewer than 300,000 to over 4.25 million, misleading the bank into the acquisition.
The jury reached its decision after roughly six hours of deliberation. Javice now faces a potential maximum sentence of 30 years for bank fraud, though legal experts anticipate a lesser term. Sentencing will occur at a later date.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Philadelphia Man Sentenced To 15 ½ Years In Prison For Investment Fraud Scheme</h2>
Joseph LaForte, a Philadelphia businessman, <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/operator-fraudulent-investment-vehicle-sentenced-over-15-years-prison-securities-fraud-tax">was sentenced</a> to 15 and a half years in prison on Thursday for orchestrating a massive investment fraud scheme through Par Funding while evading millions in taxes. 
As CEO of Complete Business Solutions Group (operating as Par Funding), he defrauded investors of $404 million through a racketeering conspiracy involving securities and wire fraud. The scheme promised investors returns of 12% to 44% on merchant cash advance notes while diverting funds through sham contracts.
LaForte's tax crimes included hiding $20 million in Par Funding income through shell entities, failing to report $9 million in kickbacks and paying employees under the table to avoid employment taxes which resulted in $8 million in federal tax losses.&nbsp;
He also falsified residency to dodge $1.6 million in Pennsylvania state taxes. His brother James, Par Funding's &#8220;enforcer,&#8221; received an 11 and a half year sentence on March 13 for related crimes, including assaulting a court-appointed receiver's attorney.
The case was prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania following investigations by the IRS, FBI, and FDIC. LaForte forfeited assets including a private jet and was ordered to pay $314 million in restitution

비트코인(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)은 도널드 트럼프의 대통령 취임식을 앞두고 지난 일요일(19일) 자정(동부표준시) 109,000달러를 돌파하며 사상 최고치를 경신했다.
무슨 일 있었나: 세계 최대 암호화폐인 비트코인은 잠시 109,000달러를 터치하며 이전 기록인 108,135달러를 경신했다. 그러나 사상 최고치를 유지하지 못하고 이 기사를 쓰는 현재 107,000달러대로 되돌아갔다.
이번 급등은 더 광범위한 시장 랠리를 촉발하여 이더리움(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>)과 XRP(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) 같은 대형 암호화폐의 상승으로 이어졌다.
왜 중요한가: 기록적인 비트코인 급등은 선거 운동 기간 동안 암호화폐 업계의 대의를 옹호했던 트럼프의 대통령 취임식을 몇 시간 앞두고 나왔다.
트럼프 당선인이 암호화폐를 국가 우선순위로 지정하는 등 디지털 자산 산업 확대를 위한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43047039/trump-planning-to-declare-cryptocurrency-as-national-priority-increase-engagement-with-industry-report">몇 가지 조치를 발표할 것이라는 보도</a>가 나오면서 시장은 낙관론으로 가득 찼다.
또한 이번 랠리로 비트코인은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43078226/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-plunge-as-trumps-official-memecoin-loses-way-analyst-underlines-importance-of-btcs-weekly-close-above-this-resistance-level">일요일 저녁</a> 트럼프의 공식 밈 코인인 OFFICIAL TRUMP가 급락한 이후 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43078226/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-plunge-as-trumps-official-memecoin-loses-way-analyst-underlines-importance-of-btcs-weekly-close-above-this-resistance-level">발생한 손실을 만회했다</a>.
가격 움직임: <a href=""https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.."">벤징가 프로 데이터에</a> 따르면 이 글을 쓰는 시점에서 비트코인은 지난 24시간 동안 3.25% 상승한 107,955.61달러에 거래되고 있다.

최근 증권거래위원회(SEC)에 제출된 13F 공시에 따르면, 글로벌 투자은행들이 암호화폐 관련 상장지수펀드(ETF)와 비트코인 대리 종목인 마이크로스트레티지에 대해 상당한 지분을 보유하고 있다는 사실이 밝혀졌다.
<h3>JP모건 체이스</h3>
시가총액 기준 세계 최대 은행인 JP모건 체이스는 9월 30일 마감 분기에 비트코인과 이더리움 ETF에 상당한 투자를 했다.
JP모건은 iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) 387주를 13,982달러에 매입했는데, 이는 지난 분기에 모두 매도한 후 다시 매입한 것이다. 또한 Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund(BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FBTC#BATS">FBTC</a>)에도 자금을 재할당해 213주를 11,877달러에 매입했다.
전반적으로 JP모건의 비트코인 ETF 노출액은 거의 65,000달러에 달했다.
그리고 JP모건은 처음으로 이더리움 ETF에 진입하면서 Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETHE#NYSE">ETHE</a>)와 그 미니 버전인 Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETH#NYSE">ETH</a>)에 상당한 투자를 했다. 두 펀드에 대한 총 투자액은 30,700달러였다.
암호화폐 노출을 늘리려는 시도 속에서 JP모건은 마이크로스트레티지 포트폴리오를 12.5% 증가시켜 660,693주로 늘렸고, 이는 1억 1,139만 달러에 달한다.
<h3>골드만삭스</h3>
또 다른 월가 거대 은행인 골드만삭스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>)는 지난주 13F 서류를 제출했다.
골드만삭스는 여러 비트코인 ETF에 7억 1천만 달러를 투자했으며 IBIT 펀드 1,270만 주를 보유하고 있고 이는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40410418/goldman-sachs-makes-blockbuster-debut-adds-over-400m-in-bitcoin-etf-position-in-q2-as-morg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">4억 6,100만 달러에 해당</a>한다고 공개했다.
이러한 투자로 골드만삭스는 IBIT 펀드의 제2대 주주가 되었으며, 현재 세계 최대 비트코인 투자펀드인 IBIT의 자산은 428억 9,000만 달러에 달한다.
한편, 골드만삭스는 2,516만 달러 규모의 이더리움 ETF를 보유하고 있으며, 이는 Grayscale의 Mini Trust(ETH)와 Fidelity의 이더리움 펀드(BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FETH#BATS">FETH</a>)에 분산되어 있다.
흥미롭게도, 골드만삭스는 3분기에 약 534,894주의 마이크로스트레티지 주식을 매각하여 보유 비중을 1억 4,044만 달러로 줄였다.
<h3>모건 스탠리</h3>
모건스탠리(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>)는 지난 분기에 비트코인 ETF 포트폴리오 규모를 2억 3,300만 달러에서 1억 8,339만 달러로 줄였다.
이러한 자금 유출은 주식 449,802주의 IBIT 펀드 주식을 매도한 데 따른 것이었다.
또한 모건스탠리는 이더리움 ETF에 투자했는데 주로 iShares Ethereum Trust ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETHA#NASDAQ">ETHA</a>)를 통한 투자였다.
한편, 마이크로스트레티지 보유량은 22.6% 증가한 9,595,008주로 16억 1,100만 달러에 달했다.
