An investor who shorted Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>)&nbsp;with massive leverage is now&nbsp;sitting on tens of millions in unrealized profit&nbsp;as the market plunged following President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariff announcement.
What Happened: The trader took a 50x leverage bet on ETH&#8217;s decline on Monday, according to on-chain tracker Lookonchain. 
As the second-largest cryptocurrency fell after Trump confirmed plans to impose tariffs on key trade partners like Canada, Mexico, and China, the trader&#8217;s unrealized gains rocketed up to a whopping $81 million. As of this writing, the trader had already begun closing part of the short positions to secure profits.

Interestingly, this development follows a 50x long trade by a whale on Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum, turning a $4 million investment into a $200 million position. The trader closed their position shortly before Trump announced a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44068814/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-rally-on-trumps-strategic-crypto-reserve-announcement-cardano-xrp-solana-skyrocket-analyst-says-btcs-new-ath-possible-later-in-the-month" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">cryptocurrency reserve</a>, resulting in a profit of over $6 million.

Benzinga Note:&nbsp;Leverage trading allows cryptocurrency traders to open larger positions using borrowed capital. While it can potentially amplify profits, it also significantly increases the risk of substantial losses due to the volatile nature of the cryptocurrencies.
Why It Matters: The timing of these trades has sparked speculation of possible insider trading. Panos, an X user, wondered if the long-leveraged trade before the cryptocurrency reserve-fueled rally and the bearish bets before the tariff-induced dump were coincidental or deliberate.

Tencent Holdings' (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>) Yuanbao AI chatbot has surpassed DeepSeek as the most downloaded iPhone app in China.
What Happened: Tencent integrated its in-house Hunyuan AI technology with DeepSeek's R1 reasoning model, boosting the chatbot's appeal and helping it claim the No. 1 spot on China's iPhone app rankings this week, according <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-04/tencent-s-ai-bot-passes-deepseek-as-china-s-favorite-on-iphones">to</a> a report by Bloomberg.
DeepSeek had dominated downloads for over a month. Three of the top five free apps in China are now AI-powered chatbots, with ByteDance's Doubao also ranking among them.

Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) has announced that it has not sold any shares or bought additional Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) in the week from Feb. 24 to March 2, 2025. The company has also declared a quarterly cash dividend on its preferred stock.
What Happened: According to an SEC filing dated March 3, Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) and its subsidiaries currently hold around 499,096 Bitcoins, which were bought for a total of about $33.1 billion. This averages to roughly $66,357 per Bitcoin, including fees and expenses.
The company announced a quarterly cash dividend for its 8.00% Series A perpetual preferred stock, trading under the ticker symbol STRK on The Nasdaq Global Select Market. The dividend, nearly $1.24 per share, will be paid on March 31, to shareholders who are recorded as of the close of business on March 15.
Furthermore, Michael Saylor, co-founder and executive chairman of Strategy, predicted during an interview with CNBC on Monday that the market cap of Bitcoin would surge to $200 trillion. &#8220;Right now we're about $2 trillion in Bitcoin. It's going to $20 trillion, then it's going to $200 trillion, then it's growing 20% a year. And that capital is coming from overseas. It's coming from China, from Russia, from Europe, from Africa, from Asia,&#8221; stated Saylor.

Why It Matters: On Monday, Strategy&#8217;s shares saw a 12.6% rise <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44073346/mstr-stock-up-nearly-13-in-monday-pre-market-whats-going-on">in the pre-market </a>trading session, following a surge in Bitcoin&#8217;s value. This surge was triggered by President Donald Trump&#8216;s announcement of a U.S. strategic cryptocurrency reserve, wherein the President declared his preference for Bitcoin and Ethereum. The stock also surged after Saylor announced in a post on X that the company&#8217;s Bitcoin investments generated $2.6 billion in profits during the first two months of 2025.
Saylor hailed Trump&#8217;s plan as "a more liberal economic policy," and emphasized that a well-organized digital asset policy would foster economic growth and encourage innovation. 
Despite the pre-market rise, the stock ended 1.77% lower to close at 250.92 on Monday, as per <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">BenzingaPro</a>.

Bearish investor sentiment as measured by the American Association of Individual Investors reached a high of 60.6%, just before the S&amp;P 500 experienced its worst day of 2025 and second-worst March trading day ever on Monday.
What Happened: As highlighted by Ryan Detrick, the chief market strategist at Carson Research <a href="https://www.carsongroup.com/insights/blog/why-we-expect-some-green-in-march">in</a> his latest note, the bearish sentiment rose more than 60%, for the week ended Feb. 26. This was the seventh highest time in history since the poll was started in 1987.
Additionally, the 60.6% bearish reading was the highest in 30 months since September 2022 and is the third-highest reading over the last 10 years, as highlighted by LPL Financial in their <a href="https://www.lpl.com/research/blog/investor-sentiment-hits-extremely-bearish-levels.html">note</a>.
Detrick observed the historical data and suggested a potential contrarian buying opportunity. He noted that, on average, stocks have risen approximately 28% in the year following periods when bearish sentiment exceeded 60%.
Expanding the analysis to include all instances where bearish sentiment surpassed 55% in the AAII survey, he found consistently strong returns over the subsequent year. However, he cautioned that exceptions exist, highlighting the spike in fear observed in early 2008, which was followed by significantly lower returns a year later.
"Assuming we aren't heading into another financial crisis (we don't think we are), the other times we saw this was quite bullish for investors willing to stay strong and not panic sell. The S&amp;P 500 was up a median of nearly 13% six months later and 18% a year later," he stated.

Why It Matters: The survey data showed that only 19.4% of investors were bullish, whereas 20% had a neutral market sentiment. According to AAII, the bullish sentiment was unusually low and below its historical average of 37.5% for the seventh time in nine weeks.
Contrary to the AAII Sentiment Indicator, which indicates most investors remain bearish on the short-term outlook for stocks, respondents of the BofA survey remain cautiously optimistic, noted George Smith, portfolio strategist at LPL Financial.
"Given that the AAII Sentiment Indicator's bull-bear spread is bearish and respondents of the BofA survey have conflicting views on the likelihood of a global recession and the valuation of U.S. equities, the consensus on markets appears to be relatively neutral," said Smith.
Price Action: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, fell on Monday. The SPY declined 1.75% to $583.77, and the QQQ dropped 2.19% to $497.05, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.

S&P 500 Selloff Spikes Investor Pessimism: Bearish Sentiment Hits 30-Month High, But This Expert Recommends Investors To 'Stay Strong And Not Panic Sell'

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) sold 7,326 electric vehicles in February in the U.S., marking a growth of 15% from the corresponding period last year, thanks to a jump in sales of its Mustang Mach-E SUV and its E-Transit electric vans which offset a drop in sales of its F-150 Lightning truck.
What Happened: Ford currently sells only three pure electric vehicles in the U.S. 
While Mustang Mach-E sales jumped 13% year-on-year, E-Transit sales rose 111%, offsetting a 15% drop in F-150 Lightning truck sales. 
The Mach-E SUV, a rival to Tesla Inc&#8217;s best-selling Model Y SUV, was the best-selling electric vehicle from Ford last month.

While a few weeks of tariffs will be manageable, prolonged tariffs will have a huge impact on the auto industry and mean higher prices for customers, he said.
Farley also called for &#8220;comprehensive&#8221; tariffs that impact Asian automakers including Hyundai, Kia, and Toyota who import their vehicles into the U.S. from countries like Japan or South Korea. 
"…if we're going to have a tariff policy…it better be comprehensive for our industry. We can't just cherry pick one place or the other because this is a bonanza for our import competitors," he added.

Ford's Mustang Mach-E Leads Company's US EV Sales In Feb But Trump Tariffs Threaten Future

In light of potential tariff threats from President Donald Trump, Pfizer Inc.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) CEO Albert Bourla has suggested the possibility of shifting the company&#8217;s overseas manufacturing to its U.S. facilities.
What Happened: At the TD Cowen healthcare conference, Bourla indicated that Pfizer, which already boasts an extensive U.S. manufacturing network, could relocate production to its domestic plants to avoid any potential tariffs, reported Reuters on Monday.
His remarks come as the pharmaceutical industry braces for a possible 25% tariff on imported goods. &#8220;We&nbsp;have the capabilities here (in&nbsp;the U.S.) and the manufacturing&nbsp;sites are operating in good&nbsp;capacity right now. If something&nbsp;happens, we will try to&nbsp;mitigate it by transferring from&nbsp;manufacturing sites outside to the&nbsp;manufacturing sites here,&#8221; Bourla said.
Pfizer has 10 manufacturing facilities and two distribution centers in the United States.

Why It Matters: This development follows a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43906811/trump-reportedly-warns-big-pharma-move-manufacturing-to-us-or-face-tariffs">warning</a>&nbsp;from Trump to pharmaceutical companies in February. During a confidential meeting, the President urged drug companies to expedite the transfer of their overseas production to the U.S. or face the possibility of tariffs.
Among the attendees of this meeting were the CEOs of Eli Lilly &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>), Merck &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>), and Pfizer, along with the head of the industry's largest lobbying group. The executives aimed to convince Trump to support measures targeting middlemen blamed for increasing out-of-pocket costs and to limit a law allowing the federal government to negotiate specific drug prices.
Though the Trump administration has hinted at possible exemptions to reciprocal tariffs for certain sectors, including pharmaceuticals, a final decision is yet to be made.
While many see reshoring as a potential solution to avoid tariffs, it may not be pragmatic. Independent healthcare analyst Joshua P. Cohen wrote in Forbes, &#8220;..this takes time and is logistically complex.&#8221; He stated that generic products might call for volume purchase guarantees, and a public-private partnership may be required to boost infrastructure and regulatory compliance. &#8220;Whether the Trump administration is prepared to co-invest in a long-term strategy remains to be seen,&#8221; says Cohen.

Why It Matters: The catalyst for Monday&#8217;s selloff was Trump&#8217;s announcement of 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, plus an additional 20% tariff on Chinese goods. The Kobeissi Letter noted these increases would raise the U.S. average effective tariff to approximately 20%, levels not seen <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/03/44098232/markets-tank-after-trump-confirms-more-tariffs-heres-what-wall-street-is-saying">since the Great Depression</a>.
Market strategist Tom Lee of Fundstrat suggested this week could mark the bottom for stocks in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44072005/tom-lee-sees-stocks-potentially-hitting-first-half-lows-this-week-bad-news-has-gotten-priced-in">first half of 2025</a>, noting &#8220;a lot of bad news has gotten priced in&#8221; and that retail sentiment has reached bearish levels comparable to fall 2022.
Wall Street remains divided on the tariffs&#8217; impact, with Peter Schiff warning of domestic economic harm while others like Anthony Pompliano pointed to Taiwan Semiconductor&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) $100 billion U.S. investment announcement as evidence tariffs might boost <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/03/44098232/markets-tank-after-trump-confirms-more-tariffs-heres-what-wall-street-is-saying">domestic manufacturing</a>.
