Most Americans are steering clear of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and its cousins, judging the tokens a gamble too rich for their wallets, a new Gallup poll finds.
What Happened: Six in 10 adults say they will "never" buy cryptocurrency, the strongest rejection since the analytics firm began tracking the market in 2018.
The June <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/692777/cryptocurrency-limited-main-street-appeal.aspx">survey</a> of 2,017 adults shows only 4% plan to purchase digital coins "in the near future," while another 17% are intrigued but not ready to act, 6% remain unsure or unfamiliar.
Roughly 1 in 7 Americans, which amounts to 14% of the survey participants, already own cryptocurrency, about the same level reported last year but still well above the single-digit ownership in 2021.
Risk perception looms large. 85% of non‑owners call crypto either "very" or "somewhat" risky, dwarfing the 60% who attach those labels to the stock market.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46592191/elon-musks-tesla-sits-on-284-million-bitcoin-windfall-in-q2-refuses-to-cash-out">Elon Musk&#8217;s Tesla Sits On $284 Million Bitcoin Windfall In Q2, Refuses to Cash Out</a>
The aversion is sharpest among older investors. Just 12% of Americans 50‑plus hold tokens versus 25% of men aged 18‑49. Ownership also runs highest among upper‑income households, college graduates and political conservatives, each at 19%.
Familiarity is nearly universal, with only 5% stating that they have not heard of crypto, yet knowledge is still thin. As many as 60% concede they "don't know much" about the asset class.
Why It Matters: Skepticism persists despite a year of record inflows into crypto funds and Bitcoin's rise past $100,000, trends analysts attribute <a href="https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/institutional-investors-warm-crypto-demand-still-nascent-2025-07-17/">mainly to institutional hedging</a> rather than Main Street demand, according to Reuters. Even bankers at last winter's Reuters NEXT conference said they remain on the sidelines until regulation is clearer.
Notably, Bitcoin touched an all-time high of $123,091.61 last week. It is currently trading at 3.9% below that level at the time of writing at $117,995.27.
That wariness echoes a Pew Research Center finding last fall that 63% of U.S. adults <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/10/24/majority-of-americans-arent-confident-in-the-safety-and-reliability-of-cryptocurrency/">doubt</a> current ways to buy and trade digital coins are safe or reliable. A separate survey from April warned that recession fears are making retail investors even <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44611151/recession-fears-surge-what-consumers-and-cfos-expect-how-it-could-impact-bitcoin-and-the-crypto-market">more risk‑averse</a>, a headwind for crypto adoption.

Crypto A Gamble Too Rich For Americans? 60% Say 'Never' Despite Bitcoin's All-Time High Moves

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump signed a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46487059/trump-white-house-to-crack-down-on-woke-ai-with-executive-order-targeting-political-bias-in-government-contracted-chatbots-and-models-report">trio of executive orders</a> aimed at accelerating U.S. dominance in artificial intelligence by streamlining data center construction, promoting American AI exports and banning ideologically biased AI from federal contracts.
What Happened: At an AI summit hosted by the Hill &amp; Valley Forum and the "All-In" podcast, Trump announced the orders as part of his broader "AI Action Plan," <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/technology/5417006-trump-executive-orders-ai/">reported</a> The Hill.
"Under this administration, our innovation will be unmatched, and our capabilities will be unrivaled," Trump said during the event. "We will be unstoppable as a nation."
One order directs the Council on Environmental Quality to fast-track permitting for certain data centers by establishing new categorical exclusions for projects with minimal environmental impact.

It also prioritizes permitting reviews for qualifying AI infrastructure builds.
Another executive order calls for the creation of an American AI Exports Program to package and promote U.S. AI technology—including chips, models and applications—to international partners.
The third order bars federal agencies from using AI systems that are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37887895/ex-googlers-claim-gemini-ais-unacceptable-bias-is-direct-result-of-companys-woke-culture">not "truth seeking"</a> or that promote "ideological dogmas such as DEI." Trump said it ensures that government AI models "maintain ideological neutrality," the report added.
Earlier this year, the U.S. and U.K. chose not to sign a global AI safety declaration at the AI Action Summit in Paris, diverging from their past support for similar agreements.
While about 60 countries, including China, India and Germany, backed the non-binding pledge for "safe, secure, and trustworthy" AI, U.S. Vice President JD Vance criticized the proposal as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43646841/us-and-uk-did-not-sign-ai-safety-pact-at-paris-summitvice-president-jd-vance-says-excessive-regulation-could-kill-the-industry">overly cautious and potentially harmful</a> to innovation.
Why It's Important: Previously, it was reported that the executive orders are driven by Trump&#8217;s tech advisers, David Sacks and Sriram Krishnan, who aim to address perceived left-leaning bias in AI content, including politically sensitive outputs and portrayals of historical figures.
Last year, 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 Gemini model faced backlash for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37256429/gemini-ai-takes-a-timeout-google-halts-image-generation-after-historical-figure-controversy">creating racially diverse images</a>, like portraying George Washington as Black.
Elon Musk, who is currently at odds with President Trump, has also frequently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37763969/elon-musk-says-woke-ai-like-google-gemini-can-be-deadly-it-will-do-whatever-it-can-potentially-even">expressed distaste toward</a> &#8220;woke AI&#8221; models. He once stated, &#8220;If an AI is programmed to push for diversity at all costs, as Google Gemini was, then it will do whatever it can to cause that outcome, potentially even killing people.&#8221;
The tech mogul has also consistently described his AI venture, xAI&#8217;s Grok, as a &#8220;maximally truth-seeking&#8221; AI, built to provide uncensored information. However, Grok has also been accused of providing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45428241/elon-musks-grok-ai-got-asked-how-many-times-has-hbo-changed-its-name-leaves-user-stunned-with-racially-charged-response">racially charged responses</a>.

Trump Signs New Executive Orders To Fast-Track AI Dominance: 'We Will Be Unstoppable As A Nation'

Market commentator and popular media personality Jim Cramer&nbsp;advocated for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) as a hedge against the escalating U.S. national debt on Wednesday, adding that he is buying a lot himself.
What Happened: During a CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2025/07/23/watch-cnbcs-full-discussion-with-the-squawk-on-the-street-crew.html">segment</a>, Cramer expressed his concerns about the future of the U.S. economy amid a worsening debt crisis. He suggested that Bitcoin could serve as a hedge against this deficit. 
&#8220;I think people want to&nbsp;hold some as a hedge&nbsp;against $37 trillion debt. They&nbsp;want to own it&nbsp;for their kids,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And you&nbsp;know who else feels like&nbsp;that? Me. I&#8217;m&nbsp;worried about my kids. 
The "Mad Money" host revealed that he is buying &#8220;a lot&#8221; of Bitcoin and encouraged his fellow panelists to invest too.
When asked if the apex cryptocurrency would withstand financial crisis, Cramer responded emphatically, &#8220;Yes.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Cramer has been endorsing Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies for some time now. Earlier this year, he described Bitcoin as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43276613/jim-cramer-endorses-bitcoin-as-a-great-thing-but-guess-what-he-had-to-say-about-microstrategy">&#8220;great thing&#8221; to have in investment portfolios</a>.
Earlier this month, he predicted that JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46407556/jamie-dimon-will-go-all-in-on-crypto-says-jim-cramer-after-bitcoins-explosive-rally-id-like-to-pay-the-bookie">would abandon his skepticism</a> and &#8220;go all in on cryptocurrency.&#8221;
Interestingly, this is a dramatic departure from his earlier stance, in which he dismissed cryptocurrencies as a<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEHQguBMD0E"> &#8220;scam&#8221;</a> and warned investors to stay away from the asset class.
Cramer&#8217;s picks often move in the opposite direction, and he is perceived by many as an inverse indicator, a phenomenon so well known that it even inspired the creation of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/24/01/36793492/exclusive-inverse-cramer-etf-shuts-down-how-the-magnificent-7-stocks-factor-in-and-a-broken-c" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Inverse Cramer ETF</a>&nbsp;in 2022. There has been no definitive proof of this being a profitable strategy, though.
Price Action:&nbsp; As of this writing, Bitcoin was trading at $118,700, up 0.06% in the last 24 hours, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Jim Cramer Says He's Buying 'A Lot' Of Bitcoin As Protection Against Spiraling US Debt: 'Worried About My Kids'

Japan&#8217;s Fair Trade Commission has taken its first administrative action against the credit card industry, targeting Visa Worldwide Pte Ltd., a subsidiary of&nbsp;Visa Inc.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) Singapore operations, over suspected monopolistic practices in the authorization system market.
What Happened: The FTC approved Visa Worldwide&#8217;s voluntary corrective action plan following a probe into allegations that the payment giant effectively forced credit card companies to use its proprietary credit authorization system, <a href="https://ajw-origin.potaufeu.asahi.com/ajw/articles/15922631">reported</a> The Asahi Shimbun. 
The company must report implementation progress to regulators for five years under the commitment procedure based on Japan&#8217;s Anti-Monopoly Law.
Visa, the world&#8217;s largest international credit card network, operates through regional subsidiaries including Singapore-based Visa Worldwide, which manages Asian operations. The company doesn&#8217;t issue cards directly but provides transaction infrastructure, collecting license fees from card issuers and payment processors.
The investigation centered on Visa&#8217;s November 2021 terms changes that rendered credit card companies managing merchant outlets ineligible for commission discounts in certain industries unless they adopted Visa&#8217;s authorization system. According to the FTC, nearly all companies using rival systems switched to Visa&#8217;s platform after the February 2018 announcement.
The authorization system generates approximately 10 billion yen ($68 million) annually in fees from these companies. When consumers make purchases, card companies use this system to verify spending limits and detect potential fraud with cardholders&#8217; issuing banks.
Visa did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: FTC officials concluded the updated terms constituted suspected violations of unfair trade practices by restricting free transactions and excluding rival authorization providers. The watchdog conducted onsite investigations of Visa&#8217;s Japanese subsidiary in July 2024.
This regulatory scrutiny comes as Visa faces mounting competitive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46321038/buckle-up-visa-stablecoins-process-800-billion-in-transactions-per-month-report-finds">pressure from stablecoins and digital payment alternatives</a>. Recent reports indicate stablecoins now process approximately $800 billion monthly in transactions, approaching Visa&#8217;s $1.1 trillion monthly volume. The U.S. Senate&#8217;s passage of the GENIUS Act establishing stablecoin frameworks could intensify competition for traditional card networks.
Japan&#8217;s credit card market represents significant volume, with approximately 116 trillion yen ($788 billion in payments processed in 2024, according to the Japan Consumer Credit Association.
Visa stock has gained over 13% year-to-date, outpacing Mastercard Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>) at 7.60%, though <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/07/46365557/visa-vs-mastercard">both lag broader technology sector gains.</a> Compare Visa and Mastercard on price trend, growth, momentum, and quality with Benzinga&#8217;s Stock Edge Rankings.

Visa Hit By Japan's First-Ever Antitrust Action Against Credit Card Industry

Bill Gates says a single New York Times column he read in 1997 with the headline "For Third World, Water Is Still a Deadly Drink," pushed him from Microsoft's helm toward global health, launching a drive that has helped cut childhood deaths from diarrhea by more than 70%.
What Happened: Writing on his Gates Notes blog, the billionaire recalls sending the piece to his father with a note, "Maybe we can do something about this," then committing a $40 million grant to vaccine research. That became seed money for what was to evolve into the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation.
Gates also shared a link to his blog in a tweet on Wednesday. He said that learning how many kids were dying from diarrhea back in 1997, when he &#8220;never worried about it&#8221; with his children, made him get more &#8220;involved&#8221; in global health.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Learning how many kids were dying from diarrhea back in 1997—when I never worried about it with my own kids—led me to get involved in global health. <a href="https://t.co/NYitqiRY38">https://t.co/NYitqiRY38</a>
&mdash; Bill Gates (@BillGates) <a href="https://twitter.com/BillGates/status/1948167071684231344?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 23, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Back then, diarrhea was killing 3.1 million people a year, most under age 5. Today, roughly 340,000 young children still die annually from diarrheal disease, but rotavirus vaccination, oral rehydration therapy and better sanitation have saved millions.
Gates warns the fight is far from won. Shigella is growing antibiotic‑resistant, cholera outbreaks are climbing as climate change fouls water, and weak health systems leave children unvaccinated. His foundation is funding Shigella vaccine candidates and needle‑free delivery patches to reach remote areas.

Why It Matters: Those efforts are bankrolled by what is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45377433/bill-gates-announces-plan-to-close-the-gates-foundation-says-hell-give-away-virtually-all-of-his-wealth-over-the-next-20-years">now a $200 billion endowment</a> slated to be spent down by 2045. Gates says he will "give away virtually all my wealth" within two decades. He and Warren Buffett also co‑founded the Giving Pledge, <a href="https://www.givingpledge.org/who-has-taken-the-pledge/">asking</a> billionaires to donate at least half their fortunes to charity.
Melinda French Gates recently backed the plan to devote the entire endowment to global health, calling it "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45313302/melinda-french-gates-calls-200-billion-gates-foundation-endowment-fantastic-pledges-personal-funds-for-gender-equality-ready-to-set-more-of-an-agenda-here-in-the-united-states">fantastic</a>," while the Gates Foundation, having disbursed just over $100 billion in its first 25 years, clarified that it will spend about $10 billion a year in its final 20 years.
According to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/profiles/william-h-gates/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bloomberg Billionaires Index</a>, Gates is worth $124 billion. In the announcement, he said that he plans to give away 99% of his wealth over the next two decades.

Bill Gates Was Moved By A 1997 Headline That Said Water Was A 'Deadly Drink' And That's When He Set His Sight On Global Health

Shares of Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) surged to a fresh all-time high, despite there being no company-specific news to lead the session. 
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PLTR stock here.</a>
What Happened: The stock rose 3.72% on Wednesday, closing at $154.62, after reaching an all-time high of $155.68. It has since declined 0.39% after hours at the time of writing this. This brings the company&#8217;s year-to-date gains to 105.64%, 436% over the past year, and 1,580% over the past five years. 
While there were no immediate catalysts that sparked the stock&#8217;s rally this week, the company has had a string of good news over the past month that has helped buoy the stock.

This includes a recent contract with NATO, alongside <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/07/46353542/palantir-next-oracle-trump-backed-ai-surge">its growing role</a> in government-backed AI initiatives, such as in President Donald Trump&#8217;s Project Stargate.
Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives believes that Palantir is on the trajectory to become a major enterprise software player, comparing its potential to that of Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>). He said this while raising his target for the stock, from $140 to $160, representing an upside of 3.47% from current levels.
However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/analyst-ratings">analyst consensus</a> for the stock is currently well below the market price at $76.72 per share, with a broad &#8220;Sell&#8221; rating based on calls by 23 analysts over the past month. 
Why It Matters: Investor Martin Shkreli, popularly referred to as &#8220;Pharma Bro,&#8221; says there is no reason Palantir &#8220;can't be a $10 trillion company,&#8221; since its total addressable market spans the inefficiencies of all Fortune 500 companies. 
He does, however, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45716400/pharma-bro-martin-shkreli-sees-10-trillion-potential-in-palantir-but-cautions-one-bad-quarter-and-its-down-50">warn about execution risks</a>, saying that one bad quarter can bring the stock down 50%.

Palantir Touches New All-Time High Before Fading After Hours: What's Going On?

The impact of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46512850/microsoft-sounds-alarm-on-active-cyberattacks-targeting-sharepoint-thousands-of-us-government-servers-may-be-at-risk">serious flaw</a> in Microsoft Corporation's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) SharePoint servers has reached more than 400 organizations worldwide.
What Happened: Dutch cybersecurity firm Eye Security, which detected an early wave of attacks, reported a sixfold increase in victims within a few days, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-23/tally-of-microsoft-victims-surges-as-hackers-race-to-capitalize">reported</a> Bloomberg.&nbsp;
Among those breached is the U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration, the agency responsible for maintaining America's nuclear arsenal, the report said. The National Institutes of Health was also impacted.
South Africa's National Treasury also confirmed malware was found in its network and is working with Microsoft to resolve the issue.

Eye Security co-owner Vaisha Bernard warned that the real number of victims "might be much higher as there can be many more hidden ways to compromise servers that do not leave traces."
In a previous emailed statement, Microsoft directed <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga</a> to a blog which stated that the tech giant is aware of ongoing attacks targeting on-premises SharePoint Server users by exploiting vulnerabilities that were only partially fixed in the July Security Update.
Why It's Important: On Tuesday, Microsoft <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/07/46585711/microsoft-warns-of-active-exploits-targeting-sharepoint-vulnerabilities">attributed the attacks</a> to Chinese state-backed hacker groups, including "Linen Typhoon," "Violet Typhoon" and "Storm-2603."
The breach has come amid ongoing geopolitical tension between the U.S. and China. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed the attacks would be on the agenda during next week's trade talks in Stockholm, the report added.
Price Action: On Wednesday, Microsoft shares rose by 0.12% during regular trading and added another 0.12% in after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0717">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that MSFT continues to demonstrate strong momentum over the short, medium and long term. However, despite its robust momentum, the stock&#8217;s value rating remains comparatively low. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-4/#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">More performance insights can be found here</a>.

Microsoft Breach Widens Sixfold In Days—NIH, South Africa's Treasury Among 400 Hit: Chinese State Hackers Reportedly To Blame

Opendoor Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPEN#NASDAQ">OPEN</a>) surged 6.55% in after-hours trading on Wednesday, following a nosedive earlier in the day. Here&#8217;s all <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GPRO">you need to know</a>.
Check out<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OPEN"> how OPEN stock is trading</a>
What Happened: Opendoor&#8217;s stock, which had been on a bull run, dropped by <a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/OPEN:NASDAQ?sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjEpKLlt9SOAxV5XGwGHd7_H3kQ3ecFegQIPRAb">20.49% to $2.29</a> in the regular trading session, but after a 6.55% rebound later in the after-hours session, the stock is valued at $2.44. The swing is driven by retail investor hype and viral buzz across and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/small-cap/25/07/46459498/opendoor-is-the-next-carvana-stock-surges-43-on-activist-investors-take-on-company-ill-saddle-up">notable backing</a> from Eric Jackson, founder of EMJ Capital.
The stock of the Arizona-based digital real estate company had been on a remarkable rally, gaining over 75% in the past week, driven by retail investor interest and social media hype.

Why It Matters: The sudden drop in Opendoor&#8217;s stock price during the regular session comes amid a broader trend of meme stock volatility. Earlier this week, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46576039/krispy-kreme-enters-meme-stock-frenzy-with-hot-glazed-hype">Krispy Kreme</a> joined the meme stock frenzy, with its stock soaring by 34.4% in premarket trading on Wednesday.
The rollercoaster ride of Opendoor&#8217;s stock has been a subject of much discussion. The stock had experienced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46547846/opendoor-investor-who-ignited-500-rally-gives-you-his-100-bagger-playbook">breathtaking drop</a> on Monday, only to climb again on Tuesday. The stock was also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/07/46546379/opendoor-technologies-shares-halted-on-circuit-breaker-to-the-upside-stock-now-up-14-6">halted on a circuit breaker</a> to the upside, after a 14.6% increase, and then resumed trading.
Despite the recent volatility, Opendoor&#8217;s stock had been on a strong upward trajectory, with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46544461/meme-stock-traders-pounce-on-familiar-targets-as-opendoor-technologies-stock-continues-to-rip">gain of over 480%</a> in the past month, largely driven by retail traders.
&nbsp;Price Action: After a dip of 20.49% Opendoor stock closed at $2.29 during <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OPEN">regular trading hours</a> on July 23.
With a strong Momentum in the 92nd percentile, Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings indicate that OPEN has a Value score of 73.19. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Know how</a> its momentum lines up with well-known names like Ross Stores Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROST#NASDAQ">ROST</a>) and Zillow Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZG#NASDAQ">ZG</a>).

"Once that happens, you&#8217;ll see the most violent rally," Pillows projected.

Bitcoin Consolidates Amid Trump's Tariff Moves; Ethereum, Dogecoin Fall: Analyst Foresees 'Violent' ETH Rally Once It Breaks This Level

Leading analysts react to Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) second-quarter earnings call, flagging a range of concerns regarding the company and its current direction.
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSLA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TSLA stock here.</a>
What Happened: On Wednesday, soon after the call, Gene Munster, a managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management, posted on X, noting that the stock was &#8220;down almost 4.3%, compared to flat at the start of the call.&#8221; Munster adds that &#8220;There was no single trigger for the sell-off. It was a steady decline throughout the call.&#8221;
Munster highlighted several red flags in the call, starting with the absence of &#8220;clear metrics about what to expect this quarter from Austin,&#8221; referring to the company&#8217;s robotaxis that were rolled out in the city.

He further expressed concerns that Tesla would need to &#8220;fund autonomy from the balance sheet until it reaches scale,&#8221; which he said &#8220;raise[s] questions about what profits will look like over the next year.&#8221;

Investor and podcaster Amit Kukreja posted on X, saying that the call confirmed that &#8220;the affordable model is a smaller model Y,&#8221; fueling concerns of cannibalization.
He also highlights CEO Elon Musk&#8217;s warnings of hiccups for the next four quarters, &#8220;before material unit economic changes from robotaxi.&#8221;
&#8220;If you're a bull, there is nothing that new, if you are a bear, you probably continue to be bearish," he says, calling Tesla &#8220;rangebound until meaningful earnings growth.&#8221;

The Editor-in-Chief of Electrek, Fred Lambert, however, had a rather blunt critique of the call. &#8220;What a shit show of a $TSLA call,&#8221; he says, adding that he is &#8220;pretty sure&#8221; that there was &#8220;a lie per minute.&#8221;
He also warned that Musk gave &#8220;a ton of ammunition&#8221; to the lawyers and shareholders who are currently suing him for breach of fiduciary duty &#8220;in the xAI/Tesla case,&#8221; he says.
Lambert also says that the company&#8217;s much-touted autonomous taxi business &#8220;will not be a giant profit center,&#8221; and that scaling in this space would be expensive, with fierce competition.

Tesla Stock Drops After-Hours, Analysts Lament Lack Of 'Clear Metrics,' Balance Sheet Pressure And Legal Risks: Elon Musk Gave 'Ton Of Ammunition' To Lawyers Suing Him

Alphabet Inc. (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>) may have delivered a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46587283/alphabet-q2-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-estimates-google-parent-raises-capex-outlook-due-to-strong-and-growing-cloud-demand">blowout second quarter</a>, but longtime tech analyst Gene Munster says its future still hinges on how it navigates the AI revolution.
What Happened: On Wednesday, Munster, managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management, took to X, formerly Twitter, following the earnings call.
"GOOG call is wrapped up. Message from management: Search is rock solid, and AI is working with new revenue opportunities down the road," he wrote.
Munster, who had been bearish on Google stock over concerns that AI could disrupt its dominance, added, "That risk is still on the table, but Search was so strong that investors will likely come back to the stock over the next few months."

Why It's Important: Alphabet reported second-quarter revenue of $96.43 billion and earnings of $2.31 per share, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">beating analyst expectations</a> of $93.72 billion and $2.16, respectively.
Google Search brought in $54.19 billion in revenue, up from $48.51 billion year-over-year.
In April, during the tech giant's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44999838/can-google-adapt-like-amazon-or-will-it-face-ebays-fate-gene-munsters-candid-take-on-the-search-giants-path-forward-in-the-age-of-ai">first-quarter earnings</a>, Munster compared Google's crossroads to eBay's failure to adapt, warning that if the search giant doesn't evolve its results page and business model fast enough, it could face long-term stagnation—even amid short-term success.
Later in May, Munster warned that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45311557/gene-munster-warns-googles-search-grip-is-slipping-as-chatgpt-alters-user-behavior-doj-turns-up-the-heat">Alphabet's dominance in search</a> is under threat due to an antitrust lawsuit and the rapid rise of generative AI, particularly OpenAI's ChatGPT.
He likened Google&#8217;s situation to Redbox's slow disruption and eventual decline, stressing that Google must quickly adapt and build a product users want while still being able to monetize it effectively.
Price Action: In after-hours trading, Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s Class A shares climbed 1.82% to $193.70, while Class C shares advanced 1.72% to $194.80, per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Gene Munster Says AI Risk Is 'Still On The Table' For Google Despite Blowout Q2 Earnings, But Admits Search Was 'Strong' For Alphabet: 'Investors Will Likely Come Back'

Electric vehicle behemoth Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) reported Wednesday unrealized gains of over $280 million on its cryptocurrency holdings in the second quarter, thanks to a 30% jump in Bitcoin&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) price.
What Happened: Tesla&#8217;s balance sheet showed $1.235 billion in digital assets, up nearly 30% from the last quarter, according to the company&#8217;s earnings report released after the closing bell.
This resulted in gains of $284 million on its cryptocurrency investments, a marked turnaround from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44940871/elon-musk-led-tesla-reports-125-million-in-unrealized-losses-on-bitcoin-after-top-crypto-d">$125 million losses</a> it suffered in the previous quarter.
The Elon Musk-led tech titan does not publish a breakdown of its cryptocurrency holdings. However, on-chain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence <a href="https://intel.arkm.com/explorer/entity/tesla">reports</a> that the entirety of their stockpile is made up of Bitcoin, worth almost $1.370 billion at the time of writing. Its hoard of 11,509 BTC remained unchanged from the last quarter.
Bitcoin closed the second quarter up approximately 30%, reversing the declines from the first quarter.

Why It Matters: Tesla's Bitcoin journey began in January 2021, when it first acquired $1.5 billion worth of the leading cryptocurrency.&nbsp;
The firm <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/04/20806183/tesla-says-will-continue-to-accumulate-bitcoin-believes-in-long-term-value-of-the-crypto">previously accepted Bitcoin as a payment option</a> for vehicles before ending the practice due to concerns about the energy consumption used in Bitcoin mining.

Nutex Health Inc. ("Nutex Health" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUTX#NASDAQ">NUTX</a>), a physician-led, integrated healthcare delivery system comprised of 24 state-of-the-art micro hospitals and hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs) in 11 states and primary care-centric, risk-bearing physician networks, today provided the following response to a misleading short attack.
The Company is aware of the allegations made in a recent short seller report that attempts to call into question the Company's collection process. As previously disclosed, Nutex Health has developed a robust internal process to code, bill and, if necessary after a federally mandated negotiation period, submit eligible medical claims to independent dispute resolution.
The Company strongly disagrees with the allegations in the report and believes it is without merit. Further, the Company believes the report contains misrepresentations and conveys a misunderstanding of Nutex Health's business.&nbsp;

Orla Mining Ltd. (TSX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OLA#TSX">OLA</a>, NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORLA#NYSE">ORLA</a>) ("Orla" or the "Company") reports that an uncontrolled material movement event occurred today on the pit wall at its Camino Rojo Oxide Mine in Zacatecas, Mexico.
The event occurred along the temporary north wall of the open pit, which included ore material expected to be mined as part of the ultimate open pit. There were no injuries or equipment damage as a result of the material movement, which was detected early by the pit monitoring systems. The event was caused by significant rain. There was no environmental damage resulting from the incident; however, rainwater diversion channels will need to be re-established to prevent further material subsidence in the pit.
While the main access throughout the pit was not affected, mining in the pit has been temporarily suspended. Pit access has been restricted to the necessary technical and operating personnel to support the appropriate geotechnical assessments required for safe remediation and resumption of mining activities. Crushing and stacking of stockpiled material onto the heap leach will continue in the interim. The Company is currently assessing any potential impact of the pit wall event on its full-year production guidance for Camino Rojo.
The relevant authorities are being notified as appropriate, and Orla is implementing appropriate remediation measures. The safety of all personnel remains the Company's top priority as it undertakes a comprehensive analysis to ensure the ongoing stability of mining operations.&nbsp;
