Lesser-known Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) offshoots rose sharply Wednesday, outgaining the apex cryptocurrency.
What happened: Bitcoin Cash rallied over 13%, becoming the market&#8217;s second-largest gainer in the last 24 hours.&nbsp;
The coin&#8217;s trading volume more than doubled to $1.07 billion in 24 hours, as strong buying pressure sent it beyond $400 for the first time in over a month.
Similarly, Bitcoin SV lifted 6.88% to a market capitalization of $738 million, reaching its highest level in a week.

The returns from these cryptocurrencies outshone Bitcoin, which was up 4.75% in the last 24 hours.
Bitcoin Cash is a result of a hard fork of the original Bitcoin blockchain in 2017 due to differences in the community over proposed upgrades. A year later, Bitcoin Cash underwent its own fork, leading to the creation of Bitcoin SV.
The surge in the value of Bitcoin spinoffs indicated demand, seemingly from retail traders, for affordable alternatives to Bitcoin.
As of this writing, the apex cryptocurrency was priced at $91,608.96, making owning one full unit a pricey investment for individuals.
The sentiment was upbeat amid high hopes for a Bitcoin strategic reserve at the upcoming <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44143660/howard-lutnick-says-president-definitely-thinks-theres-a-bitcoin-strategic-reserve">White House crypto summit</a>.

Bitcoin Cash Surges Over 13%, Bitcoin SV Gains As Investors Eye Cheaper BTC Plays

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) Head of Defense and former Congressman Mike Gallagher is sounding alarms about China&#8217;s military intentions, warning that the U.S. is failing to adequately prepare for potential conflict.
What Happened: &#8220;I&#8217;d say my entire eight years in Congress could be summarized as China is preparing for war with America, and we&#8217;re not taking it seriously,&#8221; Gallagher stated at the National Security Innovation Base Summit 2025 on Wednesday, emphasizing that Chinese President Xi Jinping&#8216;s economic challenges might actually be evidence of preparations for conflict.
&#8220;Xi Jinping&#8217;s economy su&#x2A;ks because he is trying to sanction-proof his economy and prepare it for the pain that will ensue if he goes to war with America,&#8221; Gallagher said. 
Gallagher dismissed counterarguments that economic consequences would deter Chinese aggression: &#8220;In a Marxist-Leninist system, they are much less sensitive to casualties and pain than in a republic such as ours.&#8221; He urged the U.S. to &#8220;rearm as rapidly as possible&#8221; and shift military resources to the Pacific.

Palantir has seen its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43487682/palantir-ceo-hails-elon-musks-doge-initiative-anticipates-positive-outcome">government contracts surge</a>, with U.S. government revenue up 45% year-over-year to $343 million in the fourth quarter.

Palantir's Head Of Defense Warns Of China's War Preparations: 'We're Not Taking It Seriously'

Well-known economist Peter Schiff said on Wednesday that the government&#8217;s decision to create a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) strategic reserve would end up damaging the U.S. dollar while benefiting gold.
What happened: Schiff took to X to express his dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump&#8217;s recently announced strategic cryptocurrency reserve, which will have a special status for Bitcoin.
Schiff argued that if Bitcoin is viewed as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42535718/raoul-pal-predicts-violent-upside-for-bitcoin-targets-250000">hedge against fiat currency debasement</a>, the Bitcoin strategic reserve will only &#8220;accelerate&#8221; the dollar&#8217;s downfall.
The staunch Bitcoin critic said the &#8220;foolish&#8221; move could benefit Bitcoin in the short run, but the &#8220;ultimate winner&#8221; will be gold, arguably considered the best hedge against currencies&#8217; depreciation value.
<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">If Bitcoin&#39;s success is predicated on the dollar&#39;s failure, if the U.S. is foolish enough to actually create a Bitcoin strategic reserve, this development will accelerate the dollar&#39;s demise, potentially benefiting Bitcoin in the short run. But the ultimate winner will be gold.

Critics shot back, with a widely followed X user, going by the pseudonym Teddy Bitcoins, argued that Bitcoin, like gold, possessed a &#8220;massive&#8221; monetary premium, and both stand to gain if the dollar falls.
&#8220;This doesn't mean [Bitcoin&#8217;s] success will cause the demise of the dollar,&#8221; the user said.

Why It Matters: Schiff has been severely dismissive of the idea of a Bitcoin reserve. In November 2024, he <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44069015/bitcoin-is-digital-gold-but-whats-the-rationale-for-an-xrp-reserve-asks-peter-schiff-cardano-founder-charles-hoskinson-says-trump-made-the-right-decision">warned that the government would have to print more dollars</a> to buy additional Bitcoin, which could spiral into hyperinflation and severely devalue the dollar.
However, &nbsp;Sen.&nbsp;Cynthia Lummis&nbsp;(R-Wy.), who introduced a Bitcoin reserve legislation last year, has maintained that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42121376/strategic-bitcoin-reserve-wouldnt-require-new-taxpayer-dollars-says-sen-cynthia-lummis">proposal wouldn&#8217;t require</a> new taxpayer dollars. Instead, the government could leverage its existing resources, particularly gold certificates held at the Federal Reserve&#8217;s 12 banks.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $91,542.13, up 4.43% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Peter Schiff Predicts A Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Will 'Accelerate' Dollar's Demise: 'Ultimate Winner Will Be Gold'

On Wednesday, the U.K.'s Competition and Markets Authority ruled that Microsoft Corporation's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) $13 billion investment in OpenAI does not warrant a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36151493/after-securing-a-board-seat-microsofts-openai-partnership-comes-under-the-uk-antitrust-authoritys-sc">formal merger investigation</a>.
What Happened: The CMA announced that Microsoft's investment in OpenAI does not constitute a merger, as there was no "change of control" giving Microsoft "de facto control" over the AI startup, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/8f7fcaaf-2ae0-4c2f-a016-6f51d2f83cba">reported</a> the Financial Times.
This decision follows months of scrutiny into whether Microsoft's stake in OpenAI could stifle competition in the AI market.

The regulator pointed to "recent developments" that have reduced OpenAI's dependence on Microsoft, including its <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43400191/openais-100-billion-texas-stargate-data-center-will-reportedly-employ-just-57-people-with-57600-annual-salaries">newly formed $100 billion</a> AI infrastructure partnership with SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>).
The CMA's executive director for mergers, Joel Bamford, cautioned that this decision "should not be read as the partnership being given a clean bill of health on potential competition concerns."
Why It Matters: The decision marks a win for Microsoft, allowing it to continue its lucrative partnership with OpenAI without immediate regulatory hurdles.
Meanwhile, it has also been reported that SoftBank is currently in discussions to spearhead a new funding round for OpenAI, aiming to raise $40 billion.
This investment could push the ChatGPT creator's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43374528/softbank-may-lead-openais-40-billion-funding-round-at-a-300-billion-valuation-despite-deepseek-disruption-report">valuation to $300 billion</a>, marking a record-breaking funding round for a private company.
Price Action: Microsoft&#8217;s stock closed Wednesday at $401.02, rising 3.19%. However, it dipped 0.25% in after-hours trading. Year-to-date, the stock is down 4.20%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

What Happened: The apex cryptocurrency surpassed $90,000, recouping gains lost due to the ongoing tariff announcements by President Donald Trump.
The momentum trickled to the rest of the market as Ethereum sailed past $2,500, hitting an intraday high of $2,272.80.
The improvement in sentiment came after Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick indicated <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44143660/howard-lutnick-says-president-definitely-thinks-theres-a-bitcoin-strategic-reserve">major policy announcements</a> during Friday&#8217;s White House crypto summit. He confirmed that Bitcoin may receive special status in the national cryptocurrency reserve, but other tokens will be treated differently but positively.
The rally liquidated short positions worth $145 million from the cryptocurrency market in the last 24 hours.
Bitcoin's Open Interest popped 5.34%. A surge in spot price, coinciding with a jump in OI, indicated an influx of fresh money into the market.
More than 55% of traders on Binance were positioned long as of this writing, according to the Long/Short Ratio, implying a bullish sentiment.
In contrast, the Crypto Fear and Greed Index remained in the "Extreme Fear" zone.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Spike Amid High Hopes From White House Crypto Summit: This Analyst Has Some Good News For Those 'Patiently Holding' Their ETH

The Trump administration enacted new steel and aluminum tariffs in mid-February, and businesses (and investors) could begin to feel the effects soon. The new tariff calls for a 25% tax on imported steel and aluminum products with no exemptions, which is another shot across the bow at Canada and Mexico, the #1 and #3 steel exporters to the US.
With the new tariffs, American-based steel and aluminum tariffs now have a competitive advantage over their competitors abroad.
Here are the five stocks that will benefit the most from this new dynamic.
Steel prices have been flat in the US since the announcement, and stable commodity prices could provide a headwind to domestic steel producers.
While tariff costs are eventually passed to consumers in one fashion or another, companies that manufacture steel and aluminum in the United States have a distinct advantage over their import-heavy counterparts. If importers face a 25% tariff, they'll be forced to raise prices to carry the added cost.
If a domestic steel manufacturer knows its competition will be forced to raise prices 25%, it won't sit idle &#8211; it'll also increase prices. And since the domestic producer isn't incurring any added costs, more revenue will be retained as profit, expanding margins and making the stock more attractive to investors.
Today, we'll look at five stocks with strong fundamentals that could gain from tariffs on imported steel. Each company possesses at least two of the following traits: sound valuation, above-average margins, and sufficient cash flow to manage increased capacity.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reliance Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RS#NYSE">RS</a>)</h2>
Reliance may not have hired a new CEO yet, but that's no reason to keep the company off a list of potential steel tariff beneficiaries. Formerly known as Reliance Steel and Aluminum Co., the firm has been manufacturing and distributing important metals since 1939. According to its website, Reliance Inc. sells more than 100,000 products, ranging from stainless, carbon, and specialty steel to titanium, brass, and copper

Reliance is well-positioned to increase production thanks to its hefty free cash pile, which sits at just under $1 billion as of this writing. Despite having a smaller market cap than competitors like Nucor and Steel Dynamics, Reliance has a better cash flow situation with a comparable profit margin (6.33%).
And while the stock might be pricier than its peers at 14 times forward earnings, the company does have the capacity to hire more workers and expand production, especially if demand for domestic steel surges. Benzinga Edge scores the stock similarly, giving it a 67.74 score for Value and 67.61 for Quality.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nucor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>)</h2>
Nucor is the largest domestic steel manufacturer in the United States, with a market cap of more than $29 billion and nearly 33,000 full-time employees. It manufactures and sells steel products through three divisions: Steel Mills, Steel Products, and Raw Materials. With its vast product range and expansive customer base across North America, Nucor is ready to take advantage of tariffed competitors. In fact, the company has already raised prices on hot-rolled coil steel six times since Inauguration Day for a cumulative bump of 28%.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="418" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212347/NUC-1024x418.png" alt="" class="wp-image-811284" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212347/NUC-1024x418.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212347/NUC-300x122.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212347/NUC-768x313.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212347/NUC.png 1309w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Nucor's stock may also be coiled for a move higher. After being cut nearly in half between April and December 2024, the stock bounced higher to start 2025, jumping from $112 to $142 before retreating back under $130 in the first week of March. This pullback could be an opportunity for investors; NUE shares score highly on Benzinga Edge's Value (77.56) and Quality (70.56) scores, and the stock trades at just 12 times forward earnings. The company is also sitting on an $800 million cash pile, which never hurts in the eyes of investors.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Olympic Steel Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZEUS#NYSE">ZEUS</a>)</h2>
Despite owning one of the best stock tickers on US exchanges, Olympic Steel is the smallest company listed here, with a market cap of just $348 million and less than $2 billion in annual revenue. The stock has also declined more than 50% since peaking at over $73 in April 2024. ZEUS needs a catalyst to wake up, and tariffs on imported steel might be just the thing to do it.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="418" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212354/OLY-1024x418.png" alt="" class="wp-image-811286" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212354/OLY-1024x418.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212354/OLY-300x122.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212354/OLY-768x313.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212354/OLY.png 1309w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Olympic Steel rates highly in Benzinga Edge's Value score (88.07), but its Momentum score (14.43) is approaching the dumpster. Trends can change quickly, however, and ZEUS shares are close to falling into oversold territory on the Relative Strength Index (RSI). Other appealing valuation metrics to consider: a price-to-earnings ratio of just 10.5, a price-to-sales rate of 0.18, and EPS growth of more than 42% over the last five years.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">United States Steel Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>)</h2>
US Steel Corp has made plenty of headlines lately for its off-again, on-again merger with Japan's Nippon Steel. But for now, the company remains its own entity, and shares have surged higher to start 2025 (although with some choppy waters along the way).
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="418" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212405/UST-1024x418.png" alt="" class="wp-image-811287" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212405/UST-1024x418.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212405/UST-300x122.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212405/UST-768x313.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212405/UST.png 1309w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
US Steel was once the industry&#8217;s beacon, with a history dating back more than 100 years. An NFL team was even named after it! However, the company has suffered through multi-year profit declines and faces fading relevance in the domestic steel industry. Is a turnaround possible? X shares get the best Benzinga Edge Growth score of our picks at 72.02, plus a 74.76 in Value. The stock is up 21% year-to-date and trades at just 11 times earnings. While the fundamentals haven't fully materialized yet, the technical trend is pointing upward.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Steel Dynamics Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>)</h2>
Steel Dynamics is another massive domestic manufacturer with a $19 billion market cap and 13,000 full-time employees. In 2024, the company earned $17.5 billion in revenue and trades at 16 times forward earnings.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="418" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212413/STE-1024x418.png" alt="" class="wp-image-811288" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212413/STE-1024x418.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212413/STE-300x122.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212413/STE-768x313.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212413/STE.png 1309w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
The stock might be expensive in terms of valuation compared to other companies on this list, but STLD has several advantages. Its 8.8% profit margin is the highest among domestic steel producers, and its return on equity (ROE) is 17%, a considerable figure for a steel manufacturer. In February, the company also announced favorable news for investors with a 9% cash dividend increase and a $1.5 billion share repurchase agreement. The stock also has the highest Benzinga Edge Momentum score amongst US steel companies at 61.56, with a 77.81 score for Value and 66.68 for Quality. Steel Dynamics is a well-rounded stock, although its lack of free cash flow could pose problems for future capacity constraints.

5 Stocks to Buy on Trump's New Steel Tariffs

In 2019, Mark Cuban answered business-related questions in a video, including one about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40826919/wall-street-banks-enforce-80-hour-weekly-limit-for-junior-bankers-as-jpmorgan-and-bank-of-america-ad">work-life balance</a> as an entrepreneur.
What Happened: Touching on how he manages his daily life, Cuban, in a video for Wired, shared how he manages work-life balance after becoming wealthy.
 &#8220;It&#8217;s easy, I&#8217;m rich. I do whatever I want. If I wanna play with my kids, I play with my kids. If I travel, I jump on my plane.&#8221;
The billionaire, who once <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41403246/mark-cuban-was-so-broke-he-didnt-even-have-200-needed-to-open-a-bank-account-and-now-hes-worth-b">slept on the floor</a> of a shared apartment and went seven years without a vacation, went on to say that balance looks different depending on where you are in life.

Early on, he worked multiple jobs, bartending at night while building his business during the day. That relentless grind led him to success, first selling MicroSolutions for $6 million in 1990, then co-founding Broadcast.com, which Yahoo acquired for $5.7 billion in 1999.

Today, Cuban is worth nearly $8 billion, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">according</a> to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
But Cuban's take on work-life balance isn't the only one out there. Here's what five other influential figures had to say about it—statements that have sparked both agreement and controversy.

Elon Musk: The Tesla and SpaceX CEO has long advocated for extreme work hours, saying that those who want to achieve greatness should expect to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41428758/its-simple-math-musk-said-if-you-work-100-hours-a-week-and-others-work-50-youll-accomplish-twice-as">put in 80 to 100 hours</a> per week. In 2018, he tweeted, &#8220;There are way easier places to work, but nobody ever changed the world on 40 hours a week.&#8221;
Jeff Bezos: The Amazon founder has rejected the idea of balancing work and personal life as a trade-off. Instead, he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/06/39383085/for-jeff-bezos-work-life-balance-is-debilitating-but-also-doesnt-want-to-be-the-guy-who-drains-all-t">preached work-life harmony</a>, where the two aspects should fuel each other. Critics argue that this mindset can pressure employees into being always on, making it harder to disconnect.
Jack Ma: The co-founder of Alibaba, faced backlash after endorsing China's grueling 996 work culture—9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week. &#8220;Being able to work 996 is a huge blessing,&#8221; Ma once said, sparking outrage over labor exploitation concerns.
Jamie Dimon: JPMorgan Chase CEO made waves with his stance that maintaining a work-life balance is a personal responsibility, not the company's. He stated, &#8220;It is your job to take care of your mind, your body, your spirit, your soul, your friends, your family, your health, your job. It&#8217;s not our job.&#8221; Supporters found his message empowering, while critics argued that companies also have to prevent employee burnout.
Tim Cook: Apple CEO once debunked the romanticized idea that passion eliminates the concept of work. &#8220;There is a saying that if you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life. At Apple, I learned that is a total crock,&#8221; Cook said in a 2019 commencement speech. Instead, he believes that when you love what you do, you work harder than ever—but it feels meaningful.

Mark Cuban Once Shared A Powerful Yet Humbling Take On Work-Life Balance — Here Are 5 More Eye-Opening Statements From Jeff Bezos, Jamie Dimon And Elon Musk That Will Make You Rethink Your Life Priorities

In a decision made public on Tuesday, a U.S. federal judge has dismissed a shareholder lawsuit accusing Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) of misleading investors about its foundry business, which contributed to a $32 billion market value wipeout after the company reported heavy losses.
What Happened: Investors alleged that Intel concealed a $7 billion operating loss tied to its chip manufacturing unit, Intel Foundry Services, in the fiscal year 2023. The company only disclosed the figure in April 2024 after restructuring its financial reporting, reported Reuters.
However, U.S. District Judge Trina Thompson ruled that shareholders had incorrectly linked the loss to the foundry business and that Intel had not misled investors.
She also found that statements made by then-CEO Patrick Gelsinger in March 2024—claiming Intel had &#8220;significant traction&#8221; and &#8220;growing demand for our foundry offering&#8221;—were not fraudulent because they referred to specific customers rather than overall revenue.
Investors may still file an amended complaint, leaving the door open for further legal action.&nbsp;

Why It Matters: Intel has struggled to <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43680696/bill-gates-has-a-soft-spot-for-intel-but-says-the-chip-giant-has-lost-its-way-questions-whether-the-company-can-recover-after-ceo-exit-and-falling-behind-in-ai">compete with major chipmakers</a> like Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), especially amid the artificial intelligence boom.&nbsp;
Last month, it was reported that Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) and TSMC are exploring deals that could <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43761300/intel-could-be-split-in-two-as-broadcom-and-tsmc-explore-deals-trump-white-house-resists-foreign-ownership-report">result in the breakup</a> of Intel.
In January, the company announced its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/earnings/25/01/43353848/intel-earnings-analysis-q4-recap">fourth-quarter earnings</a>, showing a $1.15 billion drop in revenue compared to the previous year. Its market capitalization is currently $90.10 billion.

This cutting-edge technology will be used in upcoming products like Panther Lake and Clearwater Forest.
Last week it was reported that Intel may not launch its chip fabrication plant in Ohio until 2030 or 2031. Financial struggles have forced the company to delay its $28 billion semiconductor project in central <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/media/25/02/44052935/intel-delays-28-billion-ohio-chip-plant-again-pushing-opening-to-2030-amid-financial-struggles">Ohio for a second time</a> in 2025.
Price Action: Intel's stock ended Wednesday at $20.81, down 2.44%. It slipped another 0.62% in after-hours trading. So far this year, the stock has risen 2.92%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Intel Beats Investor Lawsuit After $32 Billion Stock Plunge—Judge Rules Foundry Losses Weren't Misleading

Wall Street closed higher on Wednesday as investors weighed mixed economic data and awaited former President Donald Trump&#8217;s decision on possible tariffs. The S&amp;P 500 rose 1.12% to 5,842.63, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1.1% to 43,006.59, and the Nasdaq climbed nearly 1.5% to 18,552.73.
These are the top stocks that gained the attention of retail traders and investors throughout the day:
Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) surged 8.61% to close at $141.03, with an intraday range of $133.34 to $141.83 and a 52-week range of $68.36 to $145.30. The Chinese e-commerce giant&#8217;s stock rally was fueled by a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/03/44140166/patriotism-boosts-chinese-stocks-but-are-gains-sustainable">wave of patriotic sentiment</a> in China, as investors celebrated the success of domestic films like &#8220;Ne Zha 2.&#8221; This cultural phenomenon has boosted Chinese stocks, with Alibaba benefiting from the renewed enthusiasm for homegrown companies. Earlier in the month, Chinese president Xi Jinping met Alibaba founder Jack Ma and other tech leaders at a rare <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/02/43761193/xi-jinping-and-jack-mas-upcoming-meeting-a-clear-message-of-beijings-support-stock-soars-in-hong-kong-ahead-of-earnings">high-level symposium</a>. This was seen as a turnaround by Beijing. 
Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) gained 2.05% to end at $90.14, trading between $85.18 and $90.74, with a 52-week range of $53.19 to $127.48. The stock crashed more than 14% to $76.75 in the after-hours trading. The semiconductor company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44152781/marvell-technology-stock-drops-after-q4-results-q1-guidance-roughly-in-line-details">reported fourth-quarter earnings</a> that slightly beat analyst estimates, with adjusted earnings per share of $0.60 and revenue of $1.81 billion. Marvell&#8217;s CEO Matt Murphy highlighted strong growth in the data center end market, which saw a 78% year-over-year increase in the fourth quarter.
Rigetti Computing, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGTI#NASDAQ">RGTI</a>) climbed 4.07% to $8.18, with a daily range of $7.61 to $8.24 and a 52-week span of $0.66 to $21.42. The quantum computing firm <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44153467/rigetti-computing-q4-earnings-revenue-miss-quanta-computer-collaboration-highlights">announced a strategic partnership</a> with Quanta Computer, a Taiwan-based Fortune 500 company. Both companies plan to invest over $100 million each over the next five years, with Quanta also committing to a $35 million investment in Rigetti common shares. This collaboration aims to strengthen Rigetti&#8217;s position in the quantum computing market. The company also announced a fourth-quarter revenue of $2.3 million missing a Street consensus estimate of $2.5 million.
Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) rose 2.19% to $191.58, fluctuating between $187.10 and $194.08, with a 52-week range of $119.76 to $251.87. Investors are eagerly anticipating Broadcom&#8217;s first-quarter earnings report, scheduled for release after market close on Thursday. Analysts expect the company to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44149533/broadcom-q1-earnings-preview-semiconductor-looks-to-get-back-to-beating-analyst-estimates-after-q4-miss">report revenue of $14.61 billion</a> and earnings per share of $1.49. The semiconductor giant recently unveiled VeloSky, a new networking solution aimed at enhancing 5G and satellite services, potentially diversifying its revenue streams.
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) rebounded 2.60% to close at $279.10, trading between $267.71 and $279.55, with a 52-week range of $138.80 to $488.54.

Alibaba, Marvell Technology, Rigetti Computing, Broadcom, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Jim Cramer voiced support for CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>) on Wednesday, challenging bearish analysts by purchasing shares for his Charitable Trust despite the cybersecurity firm&#8217;s recent stock decline.
What Happened: &#8220;We bought some Crowdstrike today for the Charitable Trust thinking the analysts who were so negative today had it wrong,&#8221; CNBC&#8217;s Cramer wrote on X, inviting viewers to watch his interview with CEO George Kurtz.
During the <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/05/cramer-suggests-trump-is-upending-the-way-investors-evaluate-stocks.html">interview</a>, Kurtz painted a concerning picture of today&#8217;s cybersecurity landscape, noting that geopolitical tensions are driving increased threat activity. &#8220;Adversaries get more active, nation state adversaries get more active, and certainly in the confusion of that, you have the e-criminals that come out,&#8221; he told Cramer.
Kurtz revealed that hackers can now breach and navigate systems in just 51 seconds, a speed unprecedented in the company&#8217;s experience. He also described sophisticated schemes by North Korean hackers who apply for remote jobs at well-known companies, receive company laptops, and redirect them to &#8220;laptop farms&#8221; controlled by North Korean operatives.

Why It Matters: The CrowdStrike CEO highlighted how agentic AI is creating demand for new cybersecurity solutions, comparing it to previous technology cycles that necessitated enhanced security measures. 
Despite beating analyst expectations with fourth-quarter revenue of $1.058 billion and adjusted earnings of $1.03 per share, CrowdStrike shares fell over 6% Wednesday following soft earnings guidance. The company expects first-quarter adjusted earnings of 64-66 cents per share, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44127302/crowdstrike-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-strong-momentum-shares-slide-on-soft-guidance">below analysts&#8217; 95-cent estimate</a>.
On the earnings call, Kurtz described the company as a &#8220;comeback story&#8221; following last year&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44127302/crowdstrike-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-strong-momentum-shares-slide-on-soft-guidance">major global outage</a>, pointing to strong momentum in cloud security and identity protection businesses that now exceed $1.3 billion in combined annual recurring revenue
Price Action: CrowdStrike closed at $365.44 on Wednesday, down 6.34%. After hours, it rose 0.13% to $365.90. The stock is up 5.21% year to date and 22.81% over the past year, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Jim Cramer Doubles Down On CrowdStrike Despite Drop: 'Analysts Who Were So Negative…Had It Wrong'

Elon Musk has never been shy about his opinions, and Social Security is no exception. During a recent appearance on &#8220;The Joe Rogan Experience,&#8221; the billionaire CEO once again called the program &#8220;the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time.&#8221; But when pressed to explain, his reasoning wasn't exactly airtight.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Musk's Argument</h2>
Musk attempted to break it down, <a href="https://youtu.be/sSOxPJD-VNo?si=-tKe_BSaD_srsLdn&amp;t=3725">saying</a>, &#8220;People pay into Social Security, and the money goes out of Social Security immediately, but the obligation for Social Security is your entire retirement career, so you&#8217;re, you&#8217;re paying with your, you&#8217;re paying like like if you look at the future obligations of Social Security it far exceeds uh the tax revenue. Far,&#8221; Musk tried to explain to Rogan. He argued that the program is unsustainable because its future obligations—what it owes retirees over time—far exceed the revenue it brings in.

</ul>
He also pointed to the U.S. national debt, explaining that when future Social Security obligations are considered, &#8220;the actual national debt is like double what people think it is.&#8221; He linked this to demographic shifts, noting that people are living longer while birth rates decline, which means fewer workers are supporting more retirees.
But despite making some valid points about Social Security's long-term challenges, Musk's explanation lacked a direct connection to what defines a Ponzi scheme—a fraudulent investment system that requires a constant inflow of new money to pay existing participants. While Social Security does rely on current workers to fund retirees, it is a government program, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43564287/warren-buffett-was-once-asked-for-his-opinion-on-social-security-shall-we-call-it-the-government-sponsored-ponzi-scheme-for-retirees">not a scam</a> designed to deceive investors.

His comment sparked heated debates, with some agreeing that the system is flawed, while others criticized him for attacking a program that millions rely on for survival.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Heated Reactions and Political Fallout</h2>
As part of the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency, Musk has been pushing to investigate and reduce fraud in government programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. He has claimed that billions of dollars are lost to fraudulent payments each year.
&#8220;At this point, I am 100% certain that the magnitude of the fraud in federal entitlements (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare, Disability, etc.) exceeds the combined sum of every private scam you&#8217;ve ever heard by FAR,&#8221; Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1889198569518719122">posted on X</a>. He also claimed over $100 billion annually is paid to individuals without valid Social Security numbers, calling it &#8220;extremely suspicious.&#8221;

Musk's concerns about Social Security's future aren't unfounded.

Elon Musk Once Again Calls Social Security 'The Biggest Ponzi Scheme Of All Time,' Struggles To Explain To Joe Rogan Why

President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration faced a setback on Wednesday as staffers from the Department of Government Efficiency were denied entry to the U.S. African Development Foundation headquarters in Washington, D.C., escalating tensions over the agency&#8217;s leadership.
What Happened:&nbsp;DOGE workers attempted to enter the ADF office but were &#8220;unable to access&#8221; the premises,&nbsp;<a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5178995-trump-african-development-doge/">The Hill reports</a>. The incident is part of a larger conflict stemming from Trump&#8217;s recent executive order aimed at eliminating certain functions of independent agencies, including the ADF.
ADF President Ward Brehm addressed the situation in a letter, seen by The Hill, stating that he &#8220;specifically instructed the staff of USADF to adhere to our rules and procedure of not allowing any meetings of this type without my presence.&#8221;
The Trump administration is reportedly seeking to install Peter Marocco, the deputy acting head of USAID, as the leader of the independent agency. Marocco, who has overseen Trump&#8217;s efforts to reduce USAID&#8217;s scope, was reportedly present with the DOGE team during the attempted entry.
The ADF, established in 1980, plays a crucial role in supporting small enterprises and grassroots groups serving marginalized communities across Africa. Between 2019 and 2023, the agency awarded over $141 million in grants, impacting 6.2 million people on the continent.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;This confrontation highlights the growing tension between the Trump administration&#8217;s efforts to streamline government agencies and the legal protections surrounding independent organizations like the ADF.
Trump&#8217;s executive order from February 19 called for the elimination of &#8220;non-statutory components and functions&#8221; of several agencies, including the ADF. This move has sparked bipartisan concern, with Democrats arguing that the president lacks the authority to dismantle congressionally authorized agencies.
The situation has raised concerns about the future of U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44143475/trumps-u-s-doge-service-claims-65b-in-savings-experts-call-it-smoke-and-mirrors-amid-resignations">foreign aid and development assistance</a>. Trump&#8217;s efforts to streamline government agencies have been met with skepticism from experts who question the feasibility and effectiveness of such drastic changes.
Elon Musk-associated DOGE claims it has saved the U.S. taxpayer $65 billion, but real savings amount to a significantly smaller $2 billion figure, according to the prior report. 
Bill Gates previously had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43781034/bill-gates-hopes-elon-musk-will-rethink-slashing-usaid-their-work-is-something-every-taxpayer-would-be-proud-of">expressed hope</a> that Musk would reconsider cutting USAID programs, praising their global impact of the now gutted agency. He highlighted the agency's vital role in famine relief and HIV medication distribution, calling its work something taxpayers should be proud of.

Elon Musk's DOGE Team Has Door Slammed On It At Africa Aid Agency Amid Raging Turf War

If there's one thing both sides of Congress can agree on, it's that America's most decorated military heroes deserve better <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/44057450/scott-galloway-urges-means-testing-for-social-security-i-make-16m-a-year-i-shouldnt-get-a-check">financial</a> support.&nbsp;
In a rare moment of bipartisan unity, the U.S. House of Representatives just gave a unanimous thumbs-up to the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/695">Medal of Honor Act</a>—a major boost for living recipients of the nation's highest military decoration.<a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-veterans-medalofhonor/us-house-passes-bill-to-boost-medal-of-honor-pensions-idUSKBN2BS0SX"> </a>According to <a href="https://www.military.com/daily-news/2024/09/16/medal-of-honor-recipients-could-get-100000-annual-pensions-under-bill-proposed-congress.html">Millitary.com</a>, this marks the biggest upgrade to Medal of Honor benefits in over a century.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Pay Raise That's Been a Long Time Coming</h2>
Right now, Medal of Honor recipients get a pension of $1,406.73 per month, or about $16,880 per year—not exactly a life-changing amount. That's about to change.

</ul>
The new bill bumps the pension to $8,333.33 per month, or $100,000 per year, and adds an annual cost-of-living adjustment to keep up with inflation. This change updates Title 38 of the U.S. Code, which governs veterans' benefits.
The good news? This increase is on top of any other veteran benefits recipients already receive—nothing gets reduced. The bill passed the House with a jaw-dropping <a href="https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/119-2025/h51">424-0 vote</a>, proving just how much lawmakers support this move.&nbsp;
Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX), one of the bill's main backers <a href="https://nehls.house.gov/media/press-releases/reps-troy-e-nehls-chris-pappas-and-senator-ted-cruz-reintroduce-legislation">said</a>, "Medal of Honor recipients are brave heroes whose selflessness and valor should inspire every American," Rep. Chris Pappas (D-NH) echoed that sentiment, saying, "We must honor our service members that have earned this award by ensuring they are financially secure after their military service is over."<a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/558200-house-passes-bill-to-boost-medal-of-honor-pensions">&nbsp;</a>

This bipartisan agreement speaks volumes about the bill's importance. Now, the bill heads to the Senate, where it's expected to pass without much trouble. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has <a href="https://www.commerce.senate.gov/2024/12/multiple-cruz-led-bipartisan-bills-included-in-end-of-congress-legislation">already introduced</a> a companion bill to keep things moving.<a href="https://www.senate.gov/legislative/search_results.htm?search=Medal+of+Honor+Act"> </a>The Senate's strong bipartisan backing makes passage almost certain.
Right now, there are only 61 living Medal of Honor recipients, with their bravery spanning conflicts from Vietnam to the War on Terror. Since its creation in 1863, the Medal of Honor has been awarded more than <a href="https://www.army.mil/medalofhonor/statistics.html">3,500 times</a>, often posthumously.

Paying debt with other debt has long been viewed as a slippery slope to financial ruin, which is why mortgage companies have made it extremely difficult—until now.&nbsp;

Although there are hacks involving balance transfer cards to pay debt, interest rates and fees have thus far made the move prohibitive.

&#8220;Generally speaking, you can&#8217;t pay off debt with another form of debt,&#8221; Jared Werksma, a financial advisor with Northwestern Mutual, told Fortune. &#8220;Mortgage companies will likely be on the hook for credit card transaction fees, which can be pretty steep considering that the average mortgage payment is more than $2,000.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Makes Mesa Different</h2>
Mesa is a mortgage marketplace startup staffed by veteran executives from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/44047870/mark-cuban-said-no-to-uber-at-a-10m-valuation-it-opened-at-82b-and-he-missed-an-819900-windfall-i-mean-ive-done-ok-but-still">Uber,</a> Bilt Rewards, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/robinhood-review">Robinhood</a> Markets, Block, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/25/02/44025362/heres-how-much-you-would-have-made-owning-capital-one-finl-stock-in-the-last-5-years">Capital One</a>. It works with different lenders and<a href="https://www.cnet.com/personal-finance/credit-cards/earn-rewards-for-paying-rent-or-mortgage-on-a-credit-card-yes-please/"> rewards homeowners with points</a> for different home-related purchases, including mortgage payments.&nbsp;
&#8220;Somebody&#8217;s mortgage payment is often their biggest monthly expense,&#8221; Tina Moore, head of commercial at Mesa, told Fortune. Before joining Mesa, Moore worked at Bilt and American Express. &#8220;It hasn&#8217;t been rewarded in the same way you can earn rewards on all the other purchases in your life. We identified this as a massive pain point.&#8221;
Mesa rewards points are as follows:
<ul>
<li>1x points per dollar spent on your monthly mortgage payments </li>
<li>2x points on everyday essentials such as groceries, gas purchases, and EV charging. </li>
<li>3x points on home-related expenses, including utilities, maintenance, decor, and home improvement projects. </li>
<li>1x points on everything else </li>
<li>The card offers benefits targeted at homeowner needs, such as a credit to reimburse up to $65 for a qualifying big box store membership.</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Mesa Works</h2>
There is no annual fee for using the card. To earn rewards on mortgage payments, cardholders must charge at least $1000 of non-mortgage expenses. Mortgages are paid by linking bank accounts to the Mesa app, which then makes payments via the app, debiting bank accounts and rewarding cardholders accordingly.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Bilt Works</h2>
Bilt has been associated with rent rather than mortgage payments. It offers 1 point per $1 on rent and is subject to a requirement of five transactions per billing cycle, with a maximum of 100,000 points earned on rent per year. <a href="https://newsroom.biltrewards.com/letter-to-members-2024#link=%7B">Bilt revealed recently</a> that it will allow users to pay mortgages, too.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Precautions</h2>
&#8220;You&#8217;ll want to make sure they have safeguards in place for transmitting your payment information to your landlord, property manager, or mortgage company,&#8221; Jovan Johnson, a certified financial planner and co-founder of<a href="https://pieceofwealthplanning.com/"> Piece of Wealth Planning</a>, told<a href="https://www.cnet.com/personal-finance/credit-cards/earn-rewards-for-paying-rent-or-mortgage-on-a-credit-card-yes-please/"> CNET</a>. &#8220;Look for other card features like fraud alerts or virtual card numbers, which can add an extra layer of protection.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Failsafe</h2>
Rather than borrowing to make housing payments, Bilt and Mesa work by debiting your bank account for payments, which protects users from racking up debt and interest payments. However, Bilt offers a credit line that a user could tap into.<a href="https://support.biltrewards.com/hc/en-us/articles/5536519034765-What-is-BiltProtect-What-does-it-do"> BiltProtect</a> allows you to pay rent and earn points without accruing debt to ensure this doesn&#8217;t happen for rent payments.

$1000 Invested In Quanta Services 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Many cryptocurrencies soared to new all-time highs after Donald Trump won the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41778425/bitcoins-all-time-high-a-groundbreaking-milestone-and-strong-post-election-rally-coming-ex">2024 presidential election.</a>
With 2025 underway and Trump in the White House, Benzinga recently asked readers which cryptocurrencies they are buying.
What Happened: Trump recently announced plans for a strategic crypto reserve and a meeting of several cryptocurrency experts at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44125213/white-house-crypto-summit-to-feature-roundtable-with-industry-leaders-including-michael-saylor">White House on Friday</a> has created optimism that the federal government will be buying crypto.
Before the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44120900/donald-trumps-bitcoin-xrp-cardano-reserve-proposal-drives-wedge-in-crypto-industry"> strategic crypto reserve </a>was announced by Trump with possible cryptocurrency choices, Benzinga polled readers asking about 2025.
"Which crypto asset are you most likely to invest in during 2025?" Benzinga asked.
The results were:
<ul>
<li>None, I'm staying away: 43%</li>
<li>Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>): 35%</li>
<li>Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>): 10%</li>
<li>Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>): 10%</li>
<li>Stablecoins: 3%</li>
</ul>
The leading vote-getter in the poll was people staying away from cryptocurrency, receiving nearly half of the vote. Of the four cryptocurrency options including stablecoins, Bitcoin was the leading vote-getter with 35% of the vote.
Ethereum and Solana each got 10% of the vote with stablecoins ranking last at 3%.
The poll shows that when it comes to investing in cryptocurrency in 2025, investors are either staying away or likely buying Bitcoin.

Why It's Important: A social media post by Trump indicated that a strategic crypto reserve would include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and XRP Token (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) and Cardano (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>).
An official announcement could send those cryptocurrencies higher and kick-off a bull market — or a start a sell-off.
After hitting all-time highs in December 2024, Bitcoin dipped and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42440369/bitcoins-next-move-105000-or-85000-poll-finds-over-60-say">Benzinga asked readers </a>if the cryptocurrency would hit the $105,000 or $85,000 milestone next. Sixty-three percent of readers predicted $105,000 correctly as the leading cryptocurrency hit that amount shortly after.
Bitcoin went on to hit all-time highs of $109,114.88 in January 2025 before falling below the $100,000 amount again. The cryptocurrency traded below the $85,000 mark, hitting new three-month lows.
Bitcoin trades for $90,183.60 at the time of writing Wednesday. The cryptocurrency is down 3.6% year-to-date in 2025 and up 40.8% over the last year.

</ul>
The study was conducted by Benzinga from Feb. 24, 2025 through Feb. 26, 2025. It included the responses of a diverse population of adults 18 or older. Opting into the survey was completely voluntary, with no incentives offered to potential respondents. The study reflects results from 187 adults.
