Multinational retailer Walmart Inc.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) e-commerce businesses turned profitable for the first time in the U.S. and globally during the first quarter of the ongoing fiscal year despite looming tariff uncertainties.
What Happened: CEO Doug McMillon expressed optimism over the company&#8217;s e-commerce initiatives during the earnings call and highlighted that it&#8217;s not only serving its customers and members but also making their business more profitable with higher returns over time.
&#8220;We achieved eCommerce profitability, both in the U.S. as well as for the global enterprise in Q1 for the first time, an important milestone for our company,&#8221; he said.
Globally, Walmart&#8217;s e-commerce business grew by 22%, with each segment delivering growth of at least 20%.
The three segments of its e-commerce businesses encompassed growth from Walmart U.S., Walmart International, and its Sam&#8217;s Club U.S. businesses.
&#8220;We&#8217;re encouraged by the fact that eCommerce growth across all three segments continues to be strong, all three segments growing more than 20%,&#8221; added McMillon.
Meanwhile, while addressing the tariff issue, he thanked President Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent for the progress made recently. He hoped for a longer-term agreement with China amid the ongoing 90-day pause.
However, he added that &#8220;We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible. But given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced levels announced this week, we aren&#8217;t able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of narrow retail margins.&#8221;
&#8220;All of the tariffs create cost pressure for us, but the larger tariffs on China have the biggest impact,&#8221; explained McMillon.

It reported adjusted EPS of 61 cents, beating the consensus estimate of 58 cents.
Walmart anticipates second-quarter fiscal year 2026 sales to increase by 3.5% to 4.5% on a constant currency basis, projecting revenues between $173.67 billion and $175.35 billion. This range falls slightly below the consensus estimate of $175.21 billion.

Jim Cramer weighed in on the deepening crisis at one of America&#8217;s largest health insurers, which has lately found itself under intense scrutiny by the public, regulators, and the media. 
What Happened: On Thursday, Cramer commented on UnitedHealth Group Inc.'s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) mounting troubles, zeroing in on the company&#8217;s public denial of a Wall Street Journal report about a federal criminal probe, on his X account.
&#8220;UnitedHealth is denying the WSJ story about them,&#8221; Cramer posted, before calling it &#8220;crucial,&#8221; and adding that &#8220;if convicted of criminal Medicare fraud, well, I don&#8217;t know…&#8221; regarding the stock. The CNBC host&#8217;s remarks reflect the uncertainty now gripping the markets and investors as scrutiny over UnitedHealth intensifies.

According <a href="https://www.wsj.com/us-news/unitedhealth-medicare-fraud-investigation-df80667f">to</a> the WSJ report, the Justice Department's criminal healthcare fraud division has been investigating UnitedHealth since at least last summer. The probe reportedly centers on billing practices tied to its Medicare Advantage program.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Besides this, the company is facing a barrage of issues, with several other lawsuits from customers, investors, and regulators, the <a href="https://benzinga.com/content/45375716/stat-unitedhealth-stock-tumbles-as-ceo-resigns-2025-outlook-pulled">abrupt exit of its CEO</a> early this week, and a stock that has lost nearly half its value since April.
Why It Matters: The company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45426769/unitedhealth-stock-plunges-over-8-in-after-hours-trading-as-doj-criminal-probe-adds-to-turmoil-after-ceo-shake-up">pushed back against</a> the report when Benzinga reached out to them on Thursday. Saying that they have &#8220;not been notified of any criminal investigation,&#8221; and that they stand by &#8220;the integrity of our Medicare Advantage business,&#8221; while calling WSJ&#8217;s reporting as &#8220;deeply irresponsible.&#8221;
UnitedHealth Group has faced a string of negative catalysts over the past couple of months, starting with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/12/42316904/unitedhealthcare-ceo-brian-thompson-fatally-shot-outside-nyc-hotel">the assassination</a> of its subsidiary, UnitedHealthcare&#8217;s CEO, Brian Thompson, in December 2024. Since then, the company has faced lawsuits from investors, who claim the company hid the potential impact of this assassination.
Early this month, Cramer <a href="https://benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/05/45133450/jim-cramer-this-consumer-cyclical-stock-is-a-one-trick-pony">changed his stance</a> on the stock, saying that he would &#8220;indeed start a position&#8221; in the stock at $400 a share after being &#8220;very negative&#8221; on it. The stock has since dropped 31% in the preceding two weeks.
Price Action: Shares of UnitedHealth were down 10.93% on Thursday, despite the company dismissing claims of a federal criminal investigation. It is up 1.29% after hours.

Jim Cramer Reacts As UnitedHealth Denies  Report On Criminal Probe—'If Convicted of Criminal Medicare Fraud…'

Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) executive chairman, Michael Saylor, says the company, formerly known as MicroStrategy, could survive a brutal crypto winter, but its shareholders wouldn&#8217;t be too happy about it.
What Happened: In a new Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/video/4d1a1666-20d4-4930-ab80-eda742640f16">film</a> and subsequent interviews, Saylor warned that if Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) "fell 90 per cent and stayed there for four or five years, we would still be stable," yet equity investors "would suffer because they're levered."
The alert comes as MicroStrategy — already the world's largest corporate holder of the token at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45349057/strategy-buys-134b-in-bitcoin-at-99856-cites-155-btc-yield">568,840 BTC</a> worth about $59 billion — keeps piling on debt and preferred-stock financings to buy more.
Saylor's endgame is simple. "Whoever gets the most bitcoin wins. There is no other endgame," he told Yahoo Finance in a separate <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/michael-saylor-is-never-selling-microstrategys-bitcoin-100028211.html?guccounter=1&amp;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9mb3J0dW5lLmNvbS8&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAA0_cDmg_yzUnWkCMGRMws58uA4m5pNkrk4-fuSqVHXxJeAqApmq-qjKyHiettjO_4mfIipQjgHmdG2p97lFQnQfbvQQg0dLC4Tgwo-eU1W42llt5dsynyG1hJipd6xQTyFtZKKAI45R8vcaavU9Jl8y8caZOu2-ZCAa2-MKJf6W">sit-down</a>. To keep buying, MicroStrategy sold $580 million of dividend-paying <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/microstrategy-preferred-stock-yield-bb1b45ef">preferred shares</a> in January and another perpetual-preferred slug in March — cash it can deploy straight into crypto.
The balance sheet now holds just $60.3 million in cash against tens of billions in digital assets, its latest 10-Q shows. Former Bank of America ECM chief Craig Coben tells FT that Strategy&#8217;s focus on "new money" raises "questions about the sustainability" of the bet if prices crater.

Saylor shrugs at the skeptics, even <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/44044388/michael-saylor-says-sell-a-kidney-but-keep-the-bitcoin-but-mstr-is-down-28-since-he-appeared-on-the-cover-of-forbes">trolling them</a> on X: "Sell a kidney if you must, but keep the Bitcoin." But Saylor's own warning shows just how thin the ice could get if the next crypto winter proves deeper and longer than the last.

Why It Matters: Economist Peter Schiff, a fierce critic of all things Bitcoin, has consistently questioned Strategy's Bitcoin playbook, recently predicted &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45426766/peter-schiff-predicts-fireworks-says-michael-saylors-strategy-will-see-unrealized-loss-during-bitcoi">fireworks</a>&#8221; if Bitcoin were to drop in value. Schiff stated that a significant BTC slump could soon even push MSTR "into the red."
That said, JPMorgan analysts expect <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45444794/bitcoin-is-starting-to-outperform-gold-jpmorgan">continued Bitcoin upside</a> into late 2025, driven by sector-specific momentum and weakening gold sentiment. Major U.S. exchanges like Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini are expanding regulated crypto derivatives offerings to institutional investors, all adding to the crypto king&#8217;s momentum.
Price Action: Shares of MicroStrategy closed 4.73% lower at $397.03 on Thursday.

Michael Saylor Says Strategy Inc. Shareholders Could 'Suffer' If Bitcoin Plunges 90% For Half A Decade, But Reveals A Winning Endgame

&#8216;The Big Short&#8217; famed investor Michael Burry, who accurately predicted the 2008 housing market crash, has turned bearish on most equities while doubling his stake in cosmetics giant Estée Lauder Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EL#NYSE">EL</a>) during the first quarter, according to 13F regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday.
What Happened: Burry&#8217;s Scion Asset Management increased its position in Estée Lauder to 200,000 shares from 100,000 shares at the end of the fourth quarter, despite EL stock being down 13.94% this year. The move comes as the beauty company pursues its &#8220;Beauty Reimagined&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45179419/estee-lauders-beauty-gains-cant-offset-global-headwinds-says-analyst">recovery strategy amid global headwinds</a>.
EL stock closed at $63.67 on Thursday, down 0.69% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock rose 3.85% to $66.12, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
The 13F report revealed significant portfolio adjustments, including Scion taking a substantial bearish position on artificial intelligence leader NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) through 900,000 put options. NVIDIA shares have retreated from their January all-time high of $153.13 amid macroeconomic concerns and worries about tariff impacts.

Why It Matters: Burry also completely liquidated his positions in Chinese tech companies, including Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), Baidu Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>), JD.com Inc.

This exit coincides with President Donald Trump&#8216;s April announcement of hefty import tariffs targeting China, though both nations recently agreed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44946516/goldman-sachs-ceo-says-trumps-90-day-tariff-pause-increased-the-level-of-uncertainty-triggered-market-repricing">suspend reciprocal levies for 90 days</a>.
The hedge fund manager also exited healthcare positions in HCA Healthcare Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HCA#NYSE">HCA</a>), Oscar Health Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OSCR#NYSE">OSCR</a>), and Molina Healthcare Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MOH#NYSE">MOH</a>).
Analysts note that while Estée Lauder delivered <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45179419/estee-lauders-beauty-gains-cant-offset-global-headwinds-says-analyst">stronger-than-expected third quarter earnings</a> with improved margins and cost control, the company still faces challenges, particularly in Asia travel retail and a softening North American market.

'The Big Short' Fame Michael Burry Doubled Estée Lauder Stake Despite Slump, Bet Against Nvidia And Dumps China Stocks Amid Trade War Jitters In Q1

Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is reportedly expanding its research footprint in China with a new Shanghai-based R&amp;D center, signaling a strategic push to retain AI dominance in the region amid tightening U.S. export restrictions.
What Happened: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang met with Shanghai Mayor Gong Zheng last month to discuss plans for the new facility, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/c886a4c0-da75-4ea7-8230-6ffd18815fa4">reported</a> the Financial Times, citing two people with knowledge of the matter.
Nvidia is already leasing new office space in Shanghai to house current staff and accommodate the expansion.
While the company said that no GPU designs will be sent to China, the R&amp;D center will focus on optimizing existing products, verifying chip designs and exploring use cases like autonomous driving, the report noted.

"We are not sending any GPU designs to China to be modified to comply with export controls," Nvidia told the publication.
Why It's Important: The move underscores <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44963176/chinese-tech-firms-led-by-alibaba-hoard-nvidia-ai-chips-amid-us-sanctions">Nvidia's delicate balancing act</a>—maintaining a presence in one of its largest overseas markets while adhering to U.S. export controls.
China accounted for roughly 14% of Nvidia's revenue in 2023, or about $17 billion. Huang has said the market could be worth as much as $50 billion.
Huang previously warned that limiting access to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45243129/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-says-losing-access-to-chinas-potential-50-billion-ai-market-would-be-a-tremendous-loss">China's AI market could harm</a> not only Nvidia's business but also U.S. jobs and technological progress.
His remarks followed reports that Nvidia had notified major Chinese customers — including Alibaba Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), ByteDance and Tencent Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>) — that it is developing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45182565/nvidia-designing-new-ai-chips-for-alibaba-bytedance-tencent-after-warning-us-export-ban-on-h20-could-cost-the-company-55-billion-report">modified version of AI chips</a> to meet U.S. export restrictions.
Price Action: Nvidia shares slipped 0.096% to $134.70 in after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Nvidia currently holds a growth score of 95.06%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it stacks up against top tech firms like</a> AMD, Qualcomm, Alibaba and Tencent.

Editor&#8217;s Note: This article has been updated to reflect that Pershing Square converted its Nike stock into call options, maintaining exposure
Bill Ackman could have a new love for the automotive sector with a new investment made in the first quarter and an added position to a stake from the fourth quarter of 2024 that was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44878275/billionare-investor-bill-ackman-posts-hertz-investment-thesis-proposes-av-fleet-partnership-with-uber">revealed in April.</a>
Here's a look at Ackman's investment holdings in Pershing Square as of March 31.
First Quarter Changes: Ackman and Pershing Square unveiled a new stake in Uber Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) in the first quarter with a position of more than 30 million shares. The stake is now the largest holding the Pershing Square portfolio and comes with the investor making several recent moves to his investment strategy.
Ackman increased his stake in Hertz Global Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTZ#NASDAQ">HTZ</a>) in the first quarter with the <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1336528/000117266125002315/0001172661-25-002315-index.html">filing </a>showing an 18% increase.
Ackman's stake in Hertz was unveiled via a tweet and an updated SEC filing in April. A 12.7 million share purchase was originally kept from the fourth-quarter holdings document due to a request for confidentiality.
Here were the other increased stakes in the quarter:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Brookfield Corporation: +18%</li>
<li>Alphabet Inc Class A (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>): +11%</li>
</ul>
Pershing Square lowered its investments in the following stocks in the first quarter:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Hilton Worldwide Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HLT#NYSE">HLT</a>): -45%</li>
<li>Google Class C (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>): -16%</li>
<li>Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>): -13%</li>
<li>Canadian Pacific (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CP#NYSE">CP</a>): decreased by less than 1%</li>
</ul>
One notable move in the quarter was Pershing Square&#8217;s conversion of its 18.8 million Nike shares into over-the-counter call options, maintaining a similar economic exposure.

Ackman's Top Holdings: The newest 13F filing shows 11 stocks owned by Ackman and Pershing Square. Here are the current holdings and their percentage of the investment fund:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Uber: 19%</li>
<li>Brookfield: 18%</li>
<li>Restaurant Brands International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QSR#NYSE">QSR</a>): 13%</li>
<li>Howard Hughes Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HHH#NYSE">HHH</a>): 12%</li>
<li>Chipotle: 9.1%</li>
<li>Canadian Pacific: 8.7%</li>
<li>Alphabet Class C: 8.3%</li>
<li>Alphabet Class A: 5.8%</li>
<li>Hilton: 5.7%</li>
<li>Seaport Entertainment Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEG#NYSE">SEG</a>): 0.9%</li>
<li>Hertz: 0.5%</li>
</ul>
The latest 13F filing comes as Ackman is trying to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45401638/howard-hughes-rises-nearly-3-in-pre-market-as-bill-ackman-exits-from-universal-music-groups-board-to-prioritize-new-investments">buy control of </a>Howard Hughes and turn it into a diversified holding company to copy the conglomerate style of legendary investor Warren Buffett.

$DOGE

Bitcoin Rises While Ethereum, Dogecoin Slip — 'Market Isn't Going To Peak In The Next 6 Months,' Says Popular Analyst

Options activities show a sudden burst in bearish sentiment in the markets, particularly among large-cap tech stocks, following $33 million worth of put options being purchased.
What Happened: On Thursday, popular newsletter The Kobeissi Letter shared a chart on X, showing rising put option volumes among the &#8220;Magnificent 7&#8221; stocks, which comprise high-performing and influential U.S.-listed equities.
According to the X post, put volumes started to surge around 2 p.m. ET, ultimately reaching $33 million in total purchases before the closing bell. It marked the first time this week that bearish contracts outpaced bullish calls across the group.

&#8220;Options activity continues to be very telling,&#8221; the post says, highlighting how the late-day rotation into puts could reflect increased caution after a strong year-to-date run for most of the Magnificent 7, which have a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/12/42378468/if-you-like-big-tech-youll-love-this-etf-that-lets-you-invest-in-microsoft-nvidia-and-appl">combined market cap</a> of over $16.3 trillion.

Why It Matters: These stocks have added $3.57 to their market caps since <a href="https://benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45414023/magnificent-seven-add-36-trillion-since-april-lows-is-this-rally-just-beginning">their April lows</a>, with $1.2 trillion in gains coming within just two days of the trade de-escalations with China early this week. 
The group witnessed steep pullbacks following President Donald Trump&#8217;s Liberation Day tariffs, owing to their global scale and operations. Even after the pause was announced, the <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44916598/tariff-pause-fizzles-mag-7-stocks-slide-back-to-pre-pause-lows">stocks slipped back</a> to their pre-pause lows last month, as turbulent market conditions and uncertainties continued to persist.
While most stocks in this group still remain in the red year-to-date, they&#8217;ve recovered significantly over the past week, with the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#BATS">MAGS</a>), which tracks this grouping, rallying 21.90% over the past month.
The rising put option volumes could be in response to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45435170/jim-cramer-says-this-will-hurt-apple-president-trump-making-it-tough">fresh set of uncertainties</a> surrounding trade and tariffs by the current U.S. Administration. For instance, on Thursday, it was revealed that Trump is pressuring Apple CEO Tim Cook to stop iPhone production in India and bring manufacturing back to the United States instead.

스트레티지(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) 회장 마이클 세일러는 기업들에게 이더리움(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>)와 솔라나(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)를 비트코인(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)처럼 활용하는 것을 경계하라며 "대재앙"으로 이어질 수 있다고 말했다.
무슨 일 있었나: 토요일에 방송된 더블록(TheBlock)과 인터뷰에서 마이클 세일러는 비트코인을 강철에 비유하고, 이더리움과 솔라나를 발사나무(balsa wood)와 점토 벽돌(clay brick)에 비유했다. 그는 이더리움과 솔라나를 활용하면 압박에 의해 휘어질 수 있다고 경고했다.
비트코인을 지지하는 마이클 세일러는 이더리움과 솔라나는 상품이 아니라 토큰이라고 했다. "그래서 나는 모든 사람에게 토큰이나 소유 자산을 활용하지 말라고 경고하고 싶다.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
The &#39;MicroStrategy playbook&#39; for other crypto assets?

&mdash; The Block (@TheBlock__) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheBlock__/status/1914335944578338830?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 21, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
"활용 전략이 먹히는 이유는 내가 강철(비트코인)을 사용하고 있기 때문이다. 나는 올바른 재료로 하고 있다. 실제로 휘어지지 않는 제품이다. 비트코인은 휘어지지 않는 암호화폐 자산이다.&#8221;
반대로 FTX 토큰(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ftt/usd">FTT</a>)이나 테라 클래식(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">LUNC</a>) 같은 재료로 동일한 일을 하거나 자신이 좋아하는 토큰을 고르는 것은 &#8220;대재앙&#8221;으로 이어질 수 있다고 주장하면서 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/11/29691585/why-ftxs-collapse-is-the-crypto-equivalent-of-the-2008-lehman-brothers-crisis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2022년 암호화폐 시장을 뒤흔든 두 번의 폭락</a>을 예로 들었다.
왜 중요한가: 마이클 세일러의 조심스러운 조언은 기업들이 투자 도구로 비트코인 이외의 암호화폐를 점점 더 많이 탐색하고 있는 시점에 나왔다.
유펙시(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPXI#NASDAQ">UPXI</a>)는 월요일 증권 매입 계약을 통해 약 1억 달러의 자금을 조달하여 솔라나 재무부를 구축하는 등<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44902345/upexi-raises-100-million-to-expand-crypto-ventures-stock-soars" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 암호화폐 벤처를 확장한다</a>고 발표했다.
이에 앞서 지난달에는 바이오넥서스 진 랩(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BGLC#NASDAQ">BGLC</a>)이 나스닥 기업 최초로 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44159709/bionexus-shares-surge-after-company-claims-to-be-the-first-on-nasdaq-with-an-ethereum-focused-treasury-strategy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">이더리움을 준비자산으로 채택한다</a>고 발표했다.
반면에 세일러의 전략은 비트코인에 집중적으로 투자해 왔으며, <a href="https://bitcointreasuries.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">bitcointreasuries.com</a>에 따르면 스트레티지는 471억 9천만 달러에 달하는 534,741 BTC를 비축하고 있다.
가격 움직임: <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noopener">벤징가 프로 데이터</a>에 따르면 글을 쓰는 시점에 비트코인은 지난 24시간 동안 1.13% 상승한 88,226.94달러에 거래되고 있다.
한편, 스트레티지는 월요일 정규 세션에서 0.18% 상승한 317.76달러로 마감한 후 애프터마켓에서 0.23% 상승했다.
