Fintech firm Block, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XYZ#NYSE">XYZ</a>) launched a new dashboard Wednesday to help companies effectively manage their Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) holdings.
What Happened:&nbsp;The Jack Dorsey-founded company released an open-source toolkit to cater to the rapidly growing Bitcoin treasury management market. The tools, which include&nbsp;a corporate holdings dashboard&nbsp;and a BTC-to-USD real-time price quote API, will enable firms to monitor the dollar value of their stash in real time.
Block added that capabilities like time-stamped historical value lookup for quarter-end reporting are also being explored. The aim was to &#8220;lower the operational barriers&#8221; for firms looking to add Bitcoin to their books.

A director representing Harley-Davidson Inc.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOG#NYSE">HOG</a>) significant shareholder has resigned from the company&#8217;s board, leveling serious accusations against CEO Jochen Zeitz and other leaders amid ongoing financial challenges for the motorcycle manufacturer.
What Happened: Jared Dourdeville of New York investment firm H Partners, which holds 9.1% of Harley&#8217;s stock according to a 13D form filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, submitted his resignation in a <a href="https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0000793952/c1fc334a-2ec3-4dba-bc96-394c6851eda1.pdf">letter</a> dated Saturday. 
Before resigning, Dourdeville had called for the immediate resignation of Zeitz, who serves as both CEO and chairman, along with directors Sara Levinson and Tom Linebarger.
Dourdeville accused company leadership of decisions that damaged the iconic brand, citing &#8220;cultural depletion&#8221; from extensive white-collar work-from-home policies and the departure of many senior leaders. 
The company announced Tuesday that Zeitz plans to retire as CEO but will remain in the position until a successor is chosen.

Why It Matters: This leadership dispute comes amid challenging financial performance. In February, Harley reported a 34.7% revenue decline to $687.61 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, with global retail motorcycle sales falling 15%. CEO Zeitz cited &#8220;continued cyclical headwinds&#8221; and high interest rates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43502533/harley-davidson-q4-earnings-struggles-with-sales-drop-but-new-touring-models-boost-market-share">affecting consumer confidence</a>.
Harley&#8217;s newly launched touring models have also boosted its U.S. market share to 74.5% in the touring segment for fiscal 2024.
Harley-Davidson has a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HOG/analyst-ratings">consensus price target</a> of $35.18 from 11 analysts, with a high of $45 and a low of $26. The latest ratings from DA Davidson, Baird, and Citigroup average a $28.33 target, implying a 19.25% upside.
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound"><img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/10010550/Screenshot-2025-04-10-at-10.35.01%E2%80%AFAM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-865069" style="width:708px;height:auto" /></a></figure>
Harley-Davidson&#8217;s stock rose 13.74%, trading at $23.68 on Wednesday, after President Donald Trump announced a pause on wide-ranging tariffs. 
Harley-Davidson stock may lag on momentum, but it outperforms key rivals Polaris Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PII#NYSE">PII</a>) and its former electric division LiveWire Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVWR#NYSE">LVWR</a>), according to Benzinga Edge Stock Ranking. HOG also maintains a stronger valuation score. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Sign up to learn more</a>.

Harley-Davidson Boardroom Turmoil: Director Resigns, Demands CEO Jochen Zeitz Step Down Over 'Cultural Depletion' And Brand Decline

Nvidia Corporation's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) stock has dropped 17.34% year-to-date, but the company has now reportedly seen a reversal of <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43931074/chinese-tech-giants-like-tencent-alibaba-and-bytedance-rush-to-buy-nvidias-h20-ai-chips-as-deepseeks-low-cost-models-fuel-massive-demand-surge">planned export restrictions</a> on its H20 artificial intelligence chips.
What Happened: The Donald Trump administration had been considering a ban on the export of Nvidia's H20 AI chips to China, which would have been the most advanced AI processors legally available to Chinese companies.
These restrictions had been in the works for months and were expected to be implemented soon. However, after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang met with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate last week, the administration has reversed course, <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/04/09/nx-s1-5356480/nvidia-china-ai-h20-chips-trump">reported</a> NPR, citing two sources with knowledge of the plan.

Nvidia also committed to increasing its U.S. investments in AI data centers, the report said.
Why It Matters: Previously, it was reported that Chinese tech giants Tencent Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>), Alibaba Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), and ByteDance have <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43931074/chinese-tech-giants-like-tencent-alibaba-and-bytedance-rush-to-buy-nvidias-h20-ai-chips-as-deepseeks-low-cost-models-fuel-massive-demand-surge">ramped up their orders</a> for Nvidia&#8217;s H20 AI chips, fueled by soaring demand for computing power driven by the rise of DeepSeek&#8217;s affordable AI models.
These companies have reportedly ordered more than $16 billion worth of Nvidia&#8217;s H20 server chips during the first quarter of 2025.
Last month, it was reported that Nvidia faced challenges due to chip shortages and sanctions disrupting supply. Chinese server maker H3C warned of a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44519562/nvidia-faces-fresh-china-setback-as-chip-shortages-and-sanctions-disrupt-supply">potential Nvidia H20 chip crisis</a>, with inventories nearly depleted.
Chinese companies are actively seeking ways to lessen their dependence on Nvidia. In March, Qingcheng.AI unveiled "Chitu," a framework optimized for domestically produced chips.
Huawei Technologies has also made notable strides in developing its own AI chips, with <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44488569/chinas-huawei-reportedly-doubles-ai-chip-yields-to-40-now-nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-warns-that-the-chinese-tech-giant-is-the-most-formidable-competitor-despite-us-sanctions">Huang recognizing the company</a> as a serious competitor.
Still, China continues to play a vital role in Nvidia&#8217;s business. In 2024, the company earned $12 billion from the Chinese market—doubling Huawei's sales of its Ascend 910B AI chips.
Price Action: Nvidia shares jumped 18.72% on Wednesday but dipped 1.53% in after-hours trading, reaching $112.59 at the time of writing, per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Nvidia (NVDA) holds a strong growth rating of 94.83%. You can view the full comparison with other <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">companies by clicking here</a>.

China&#8217;s government issued dual warnings to citizens regarding U.S. travel on Wednesday, citing deteriorating bilateral relations as both <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44708618/china-retaliates-with-massive-84-tariff-hike-on-us-goods-amid-escalating-trade-war">nations exchange hefty tariffs on imports</a>. 
What Happened: The warnings came shortly after Beijing announced plans to raise reciprocal tariffs on American goods to 84% from 34%, responding to President Donald Trump&#8216;s recent tariff hikes on Chinese products.
&#8220;Due to the deterioration of Sino-US economic and trade relations and the domestic security situation in the United States, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism reminds Chinese tourists to fully assess the risks,&#8221; China&#8217;s tourism ministry stated in an <a href="https://www.mct.gov.cn/whzx/whyw/202504/t20250409_959294.htm">official</a> warning.
The escalating trade conflict intensified earlier this week when Trump implemented sweeping tariffs exceeding 100% on Chinese imports, which initially sent U.S. stock futures plunging.

China&#8217;s retaliatory measures extend beyond tariffs, with Beijing filing a complaint with the World Trade Organization, adding six American companies to its unreliable-entity list, and imposing export controls on 12 U.S. firms that prohibit Chinese <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44708618/china-retaliates-with-massive-84-tariff-hike-on-us-goods-amid-escalating-trade-war">suppliers from providing dual-use items</a>.

China Warns Citizens Over US Travel After Trump's Tariff Hike Triggers Retaliation, Cites 'Deteriorating' Relations And Rising Security Risks

President Donald Trump's surprise 90-day pause on his aggressive tariff plan, announced Wednesday via social media, sparked immediate reactions from major business and economic figures. Here&#8217;s what they said.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bill Ackman</h3>
Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, in a <a href="https://x.com/BillAckman/status/1910031061817647206">post</a> on X, wrote, "This was brilliantly executed by Donald Trump.&#8221; He had previously advocated for a pause "to enable negotiations to be completed without a major global economic disruption that will harm the most vulnerable companies and citizens of our country." 
Ackman <a href="https://x.com/BillAckman/status/1910037445384470611">added</a>, "The benefit of @realDonaldTrump's approach is that we now understand who are our preferred trading partners, and who the problems are," noting "China has shown themselves to be a bad actor." In a direct call to Beijing, he said, "Advice for China: Pick up the phone and call the President. He is a tough but fair negotiator." Ackman also observed, "The countries that showed up first and offered zero tariffs will now be rewarded with more business."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Ray Dalio</h3>
Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio <a href="https://x.com/RayDalio/status/1910166431053815819">stated</a> on X, "This is a great time for all involved to reconsider their approaches! … President Trump's decision to step back from a worse way and negotiate how to deal with these imbalances is a much better way." He added, "I hope and expect that he will do the same with the Chinese, which I believe includes negotiating a deal that appreciates the RMB against the dollar."

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Mark Cuban</h3>
On Bluesky, Mark Cuban re-posted economist Paulo dos Santos's <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/plbds.bsky.social/post/3lmf65km4ks2m">statement</a> calling Trump's tariffs "the Ivermectin of economic strategy." Before the pause was announced, Cuban <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social/post/3lmf7rp3ym22n">wrote</a>, "What some people aren't factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">David Sacks</h3>
PayPal and Yammer cofounder David Sacks <a href="https://x.com/DavidSacks/status/1910035952283857213">declared</a>, "They did everything they could to create a panic … They were rooting for Trump to fail even if it meant the market and economy crashed."

What happened: Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based Fartcoin spearheaded the rally, pumping over 40% in the last 24 hours. The token, with over $700 million in market capitalization, was also the biggest gainer in the entire cryptocurrency market.
With the latest increase, FARTCOIN&#8217;s monthly gains have increased to 221%, well above heavyweights of the space.

Dogecoin, Shiba Inu Power 10% After Trump Pauses Tariffs But This  Meme Coin Is The Real Winner Today

CNBC host Jim Cramer cheered President Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44725016/us-steel-stock-tumbles-as-trump-says-we-dont-want-to-see-it-go-to-japan">latest comments</a> on the long-pending acquisition of United States Steel Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>) by Nippon Steel Corporation (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NPSCY#OTC">NPSCY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NISTF#OTC">NISTF</a>)
Cramer took to X, stating that it was a &#8216;Smart move blocking Nippon Dumper Steel deal,&#8217; referring to the President&#8217;s statement that signaled his reluctance to give a go-ahead to the $15 billion deal.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Smart move blocking Nippon Dumper Steel deal
&mdash; Jim Cramer (@jimcramer) <a href="https://twitter.com/jimcramer/status/1910086508675281135?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 9, 2025</a></blockquote>

What Happened: During a press meeting at the Oval Office on Wednesday night, Trump emphasized the importance of United States Steel for American industry, referring to it as &#8220;a very special company,&#8221; before adding &#8220;we don&#8217;t want it to go to Japan or any other place,&#8221; casting fresh uncertainty on the future of this deal.
This comes just days after Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/04/44679320/us-steel-gains-16-as-trump-orders-review-of-nippon-steels-blocked-acquisition-amid-national-security-concerns">ordered another review</a> of the blocked acquisition when the Committee On Foreign Investment In The United States was given 45 days to submit its recommendations.

Why It Matters: The deal was blocked by the Biden Administration in January, citing national security issues, but Cramer&#8217;s opposition to it largely centers on the adverse impact it has on other U.S. steel companies, particularly the likes of Nucor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>), the largest steel-maker in the U.S, <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/jim-cramer-nucor-nue-sell-142005180.html">reported</a> Yahoo Finance via Insider Monkey
In his Wednesday X post, Cramer refers to the Japanese giant &#8220;Nippon Dumper Steel&#8221; calling out its serial steel dumping activities in the United States. Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-18/commerce-slaps-tariffs-on-nippon-steel-amid-anti-import-promise">reported</a> that the U.S. Department of Commerce imposed tariffs on the Japanese steel giant last year.
Price Action: Shares of US Steel plunged nearly 11% to $40.19 in after-hours trading, following a 2.5% gain to $45.14 during the regular session. Meanwhile, Nippon Steel has been rallying since Thursday morning in Tokyo, climbing over 5% at the time of writing.
According to Benzinga Edge, United States Steel stock is attractive in the short, medium, and long terms, with strong momentum and value scores. However, how does it compare with competitors Nucor and Steel Dynamics?

Cramer Praises Trump For Pushback On Nippon 'Dumper' Steel, Calls The Block A 'Smart Move'

Entities tied to President Donald Trump surged on Wednesday, boosting his personal fortune, after he announced a surprise 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs.
What happened: Trump Media and Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>) shares were up 5.23% in after-hours trading after closing 21.7% higher at $20.27 during Wednesday's regular trading session.
Similarly, the Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) meme coin traded at $8.08, up 7.51% in the last 24 hours.&nbsp; Entities affiliated with&nbsp;The Trump Organization&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43082005/market-to-seek-further-information-on-utilization-of-80-trump-token-supply-says-bernstein">control 80% of the coin's supply</a>.
Trump Media, the parent company of social media platform Truth Social, was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44608924/trump-media-technology-stock-drops-on-share-registration-will-president-trump-sell-his-stake">co-founded by Trump</a>, who maintains a 52.9% stake in the company, according to the 13D filing reported on Dec. 30, 2024.
The stake translated to a total of 114,750,000 shares held by Trump, equating to a market value of $2.32 billion as per Wednesday's closing price. This meant that Trump personally gained $410 million in today's rally.

Why It Matters: Notably, Trump transferred his entire <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42609228/trump-transfers-entire-djt-stake-to-revocable-trust-ahead-of-inauguration">Trump Media stake</a> to a trust controlled by his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., before his swearing-in.

Interestingly, Trump promised not to sell his stake in the company during a campaign speech.
It's worth pointing out that Trump <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44724530/trump-media-stock-soars-hours-after-president-says-its-a-great-time-to-buy-what-you-need-to-know">promoted DJT in a Truth Social post</a> Wednesday morning, shortly after the market opened, saying, "This is a great time to buy." The 90-day tariff announcement came three hours after his post.
