Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42321349/drakes-legal-fight-involving-kendrick-lamar-takes-center-stage-and-so-do-their-mega-mansions">strongly denied allegations</a> from Drake that it &#8220;artificially inflated&#8221; streaming numbers for rival artist Kendrick Lamar&#8217;s track &#8220;Not Like Us.&#8221;
What Happened: In opposition papers filed, Spotify stated it &#8220;has no economic incentive&#8221; to favor Lamar&#8217;s track over Drake&#8217;s music, <a href="https://variety.com/2024/music/news/spotify-slams-drake-claim-inflated-kendrick-lamar-streams-1236256265/">reported</a> Variety.
&#8220;Marquee was purchased on behalf of the song, for €500 to promote the track in France. Marquee is a visual ad that is disclosed to users as a Sponsored Recommendation,&#8221; stated a Spotify spokesperson.

Drake&#8217;s company Frozen Moments had previously filed a petition claiming that Spotify and Universal Music Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UMGNF#OTC">UMGNF</a>) artificially boosted Lamar&#8217;s streaming numbers.
The petition alleged UMG offered Spotify a 30% discount on licensing rates in exchange for promoting &#8220;Not Like Us,&#8221; a claim both companies deny.
Earlier, Universal Music Group rejected the accusations as &#8220;offensive and untrue,&#8221; underscoring their commitment to ethical marketing practices. A UMG spokesperson stated that fan choice, not manipulation, drives streaming numbers.
Drake&#8217;s legal team responded through a statement to Variety, challenging both companies to comply with discovery requests if they have &#8220;nothing to hide.&#8221;
Why It Matters: The dispute has expanded beyond streaming numbers, with Drake filing a separate action in Texas alleging defamation and improper radio promotion practices.
Neither artist is directly signed to UMG, instead licensing their music through their own companies &#8211; Drake&#8217;s OVO and Lamar&#8217;s pgLang &#8211; to Universal labels for marketing and distribution.
Sources familiar with the matter suggest that Drake&#8217;s petition primarily targets Universal — the label responsible for distributing his music since his 2009 debut with Lil Wayne's Young Money — rather than Spotify, iHeart, or Lamar himself, the report noted.
However, the timing of the legal action, revolving around a song tied to the prolonged feud between the two artists, seems far from coincidental.
"Not Like Us" stands out as a diss track that not only climbed to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 but also secured multiple nominations for the 2025 Grammy Awards.
Price Action: Spotify&#8217;s stock rose by 1.48% on Friday, closing at $460.88. Year-to-date, the company&#8217;s shares have skyrocketed 144.11%, significantly outperforming the Nasdaq 100 index, which has gained 28.68% during the same timeframe, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Spotify Fires Back At Drake: Calls 'Artificially Inflated Streams' Allegation Over Kendrick Lamar's Hit Unfounded

Rumble Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUM#NASDAQ">RUM</a>) shares are soaring in after-hours trading Friday after the company announced it has entered into a definitive agreement for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/g42630663/rumble-announces-775-million-strategic-investment-from-tether">strategic investment of $775 million</a> from Tether. 
The Details: Tether (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>) has agreed to purchase 103.33 million shares of Rumble Class A Common Stock at a price per share of $7.50, totaling $775 million in gross proceeds to Rumble. 
Rumble said it will use $250 million of the proceeds to support growth initiatives and the remaining proceeds to fund a self tender offer for up to 70 million of its Class A Common Stock at $7.50 per share.
Tether's investment and the tender offer are expected to close in the first quarter of 2025. Rumble&#8217;s existing Board and governance structure will remain unchanged following the closing of the transaction.

Chris Pavlovski, Rumble&#8217;s CEO, will retain his controlling stake in the company following the completion of the transaction.&nbsp;
&#8220;I could not be more excited about this collaboration with Tether for a number of reasons. First, many people may not realize the incredibly strong connection between the cryptocurrency and free speech communities, which is rooted in a passion for freedom, transparency, and decentralization," said Pavlovski.&nbsp;
"Second, the immediate commitment of adding $250 million in cash to our balance sheet not only confirms the level of support and commitment to a collaboration between our companies, it also fuels our growth initiatives. And, third, this transaction provides an immediate liquidity event for all of our stockholders who elect to participate in the self tender offer," he added.&nbsp;
Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, commented on the investment in Rumble.&nbsp;
&#8220;Tether&#8217;s investment in Rumble reflects our shared values of decentralization, independence, transparency, and the fundamental right to free expression. In today&#8217;s world, legacy media has increasingly eroded trust, creating an opportunity for platforms like Rumble to offer a credible, uncensored alternative," said Ardoino.
RUM Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>, Rumble shares are up 50.7% at $10.79 in after-hours trading Friday.

Bitcoin Miner MARA Holdings Embraces MicroStrategy Playbook, Acquires $1.53 Billion Worth BTC

Electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) has reportedly struck a confidential deal with the United Auto Workers (UAW) union.
What Happened: This "secret" agreement would see Rivian remain neutral towards unionization efforts at its Illinois plant if the company achieves certain financial milestones, including profitability, according <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-19/uaw-rivian-rivn-strike-secret-deal-to-ease-unionization-of-ev-factory-workers">to</a> a report by Bloomberg, citing sources familiar with the matter.
This &#8220;secret&#8221; deal could smooth the path for the UAW to represent Rivian&#8217;s workers, potentially giving them a greater voice in areas like pay and working conditions.
The deal is also believed to be a factor in Rivian securing a $6.6 billion conditional loan from the U.S. Department of Energy to support its expansion plans, including a new factory in Georgia.
While Rivian has yet to turn a profit, it aims to do so in the near future. The company is ramping up production of its existing R1 models and plans to launch a more affordable R2 model in 2026, significantly increasing its production capacity.

This potential unionization comes as the UAW has been actively targeting the growing EV sector. If successful, it could have broader implications for labor relations in the rapidly evolving EV industry.
Why It Matters: Rivian Automotive is intensifying efforts to achieve profitability by 2025 through strategic initiatives, including a significant partnership with Volkswagen, cost-cutting measures, and the introduction of more affordable electric vehicles (EVs).
Rivian is also focusing on reducing production costs and plans to launch the R2 series, a line of budget-friendly EVs, by 2026.
Vivek Ramaswamy, recently appointed to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) alongside Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42255070/musk-ally-ramaswamy-takes-aim-at-bidens-6-6b-loan-to-tesla-rival-rivian">criticized the Biden administration&#8217;s approval</a> of a $6.6 billion loan to Rivian.
Ramaswamy argues that the loan is an inefficient use of taxpayer money, estimating a cost of approximately $880,000 per job created, and suggests it may be a politically motivated move against Tesla. He has indicated that DOGE will scrutinize such expenditures upon taking office.

Rivian Reportedly Struck A 'Secret' Deal With UAW That Also Helped It Secure $6.6 Billion Loan From Department Of Energy

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has reportedly found some units of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cybertruck">Cybertruck</a> with "cell dent" issues and the company has started replacing battery packs of those cars.
What Happened: According to a report <a href="https://electrek.co/2024/12/20/tesla-finds-cell-dent-issues-in-cybertrucks-starts-replacing-battery-packs/">by</a> Electrek, citing sources familiar with the matter, Tesla has identified the cell dent issue with some Cybertruck units and it has begun sending them back to Gigafactory Texas to solve the problem.
Tesla identified the issue in several inventory vehicles but has not found it in customer-delivered models. The Cybertruck is unique among Tesla&#8217;s lineup as the only vehicle using the company's in-house 4680 battery cells.
Tesla currently produces several thousand Cybertrucks weekly at Gigafactory Texas but has already issued multiple recalls. Many owners have reported frequent service visits, with some even asking Tesla if it would buy back those faulty units.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Why It Matters: While Tesla has big ambitions for the Cybertruck, it has recently faced demand hurdles. The EV giant reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42501487/cybertruck-production-rate-was-reduced-even-before-decembers-production-pause-says-tesla-researcher">reduced the production rate</a> of the Cybertruck, with over 9,000 units still in its inventory.
According to Tesla researcher Troy Teslike, Cybertruck production was reduced by over 55% on Nov. 10.
Tesla also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42283708/tesla-gives-cybertruck-production-line-workers-three-days-off-report">announced a three-day production pause</a>, giving workers on the Cybertruck line paid time off.
Another sign of possible demand hurdles is that Tesla is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42524912/teslas-99k-foundation-series-cybertrucks-still-available-a-sign-of-possible-demand-hurdles">still selling</a> its premium $99,990 foundation series Cybertruck, suggesting that it has not yet sold out all of its inventory.

Tesla Cybertruck Units Reportedly Found With Cell Dent Issues: EV Giant Starts Replacing Battery Packs

On Friday, ChatGPT-maker OpenAI unveiled its next-generation reasoning model, o3, as the successor to o1, capping off the company's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42332451/sam-altman-teases-12-days-of-openai-christmas-magic-users-predict-unveiling-of-sora-o1-reasoning-model-and-more">12 days of shipmas</a> announcements.
What Happened: On the final day of its &#8220;12 Days of OpenAI&#8221; event, the AI startup revealed o3, which brings significant advancements in reasoning and coding capabilities.
Alongside o3, Microsoft Corp.-backed (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) OpenAI also introduced o3-mini, a smaller version designed for specific, more targeted applications.

"We view this as the beginning of the next phase of AI. Where you can use these models to do increasingly complex tasks that require a lot of reasoning," stated OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
The company has begun rolling out o3 to select safety researchers, with plans for broader availability soon. The application window closes on Jan. 10.

Notably, OpenAI skipped over naming the new model &#8220;o2,&#8221; to avoid potential trademark conflicts with British telecom provider O2, <a href="https://www.theinformation.com/briefings/openai-announces-new-reasoning-model-o3">according</a> to The Information.
Why It Matters: OpenAI's progress is evident in the ARC-AGI benchmark, where o3 scored 87.5% on the high compute setting, tripling o1's performance on the lower setting.
The ARC-AGI test is often used to measure progress toward achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) by assessing a model's performance in areas that require advanced problem-solving and reasoning.
However, ARC-AGI co-creator François Chollet also noted that o3 struggles with "very easy tasks" in ARC-AGI, suggesting it has "fundamental differences" from human intelligence.&nbsp;
&#8220;While the new model is very impressive and represents a big milestone on the way towards AGI, I don&#8217;t believe this is AGI &#8212; there&#8217;s still a fair number of very easy ARC-AGI-1 tasks that o3 can&#8217;t solve, and we have early indications that ARC-AGI-2 will remain extremely challenging for o3,&#8221; Chollet stated.

ChatGPT Maker OpenAI Drops o3 Reasoning Model As o1's Successor: Greg Brockman Calls It A 'Breakthrough'

Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) bagged a key win <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42520522/arm-qualcomm-face-off-in-court-what-to-expect-from-silicon-soap-opera">in its legal battle</a> against semiconductor design company Arm Holdings Plc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>).
What Happened: A federal jury in Delaware ruled that Qualcomm did not violate its licensing agreement with Arm, clearing a hurdle for the San Diego, California headquartered chipmaker.
Qualcomm's win was the result of a mistrial after the jury could not resolve one of the three questions put before it for deliberation. This means Arm can take Qualcomm to the court once again in the future.
While the ruling said Qualcomm did not breach its licensing agreement with Arm, the jury could not determine if Nuvia is guilty of doing so. Nuvia is a startup that was acquired by Qualcomm in 2021 for $1.4 billion.
Qualcomm used Nuvia to bolster its Snapdragon X line of chips that power some Windows laptops. The company projected savings of up to $1.4 billion a year thanks to Nuvia acquisition.

Qualcomm's chips power many Android smartphones and tablets – these chip sales account for a large portion of the company's $39 billion revenue.
The company called it an attempt to "strong-arm a longtime partner."
"We are confident that Qualcomm&#8217;s rights under its agreement with Arm will be affirmed," a Qualcomm spokesperson said, according to the report.
Price Action: Qualcomm stock gained over 1.8% in after-hours trading to hover around $152.89, while Arm stock fell by over 1.4% to $132.15, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Qualcomm Bags Win In Chips Licensing Trial Against Arm, But The Battle Is Not Over Yet

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who had earlier expressed skepticism over Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-La.) latest plan, shifted his stance after the passage of a spending package to avert a government shutdown.
What Happened: Taking to X, formerly Twitter, Musk praised Johnson's efforts saying, "The Speaker did a good job here, given the circumstances. It went from a bill that weighed pounds to a bill that weighed ounces."

Following the passage of a spending package to avert a government shutdown, House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said, &#8220;House Democrats have successfully stopped extreme MAGA Republicans from shutting down the government, crashing the economy, and hurting working-class Americans all across the land.&#8221;
In response to Jeffries' comments, Musk sarcastically congratulated him on the spending bill victory. His post featured a stack of documents split into two piles—one significantly larger than the other—seemingly critiquing the complexity of legislative processes.

Speaker Johnson had initially brokered a bipartisan funding deal with Democrats, but it was derailed by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42566558/house-republicans-reject-spending-bill-under-pressure-from-trump-musk-government-faces-shutdown">opposition from both</a> President-elect Donald Trump and Musk.
&#8220;Your elected representatives have heard you and now the terrible bill is dead. The voice of the people has triumphed,&#8221; the tech mogul posted on X at the time.
To avoid a government shutdown set for midnight on Friday, Republican leaders unveiled a &#8220;Plan C.&#8221;&nbsp;
This strategy involved holding separate votes on three crucial measures: a short-term funding bill to extend government operations for three months, a $100 billion disaster relief package, and a $10 billion farm aid bill.

Elon Musk Changes Tone, Applauds Speaker Johnson: 'It Went From A Bill That Weighed Pounds To One That Weighed Ounces'

On Friday, the House of Representatives approved a stopgap funding bill, just hours before a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42544562/congressional-leaders-reach-bipartisan-deal-to-avert-government-shutdown">potential government shutdown</a>.
What Happened: The legislation, which extends funding into mid-March and includes disaster relief, now moves to the Senate, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/12/20/us/government-shutdown-trump-news">reported</a> the New York Times.
The bill passed with a vote of 366 to 34, with all &#8220;no&#8221; votes coming from Republicans, and one Democrat, Jasmine Crockett of Texas, voting present.

The House removed a provision demanded by President-elect Donald Trump to suspend the federal debt limit, which had caused a Republican revolt on Thursday.
The Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), expressed confidence that the Senate would quickly pass the bill despite not including all Democratic priorities.

<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn&#39;t be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci has described Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) current price action as part of its typical cycle.
What Happened: In an <a href="https://x.com/Scaramucci/status/1870118849959399556">X</a> post on Friday, he explained that Bitcoin is purging leveraged, short-term momentum trades, a normal phenomenon in its market evolution.
However, Scaramucci also suggested that some altcoins may have experienced their "last hurrah" and could be done for good.
Meanwhile, crypto entrepreneur JC X <a href="https://x.com/Scaramucci/status/1870118849959399556">believes</a> human behaviour remains consistent: when Bitcoin surges, investors feel wealthier and take on more risks, often chasing gains in altcoins due to FOMO. This dynamic suggests altcoins may still have another rally in store.
In an interview, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42491094/anthony-scaramucci-upgrades-his-lamborghinibut-not-at-the-cost-of-selling-bitcoin-why-would-i-sell">Scaramucci expressed optimism</a> about Bitcoin&#8217;s future, stating he would never sell his holdings for luxury purchases. He emphasized Bitcoin's potential to attract <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42378636/scaramucci-bitcoin-is-a-volatile-asset-but-ready-for-prime-time-institutional-investing">mainstream institutional investment.</a>

An expert from Foresight Ventures noted that Bitcoin's recent pullback marks its first significant correction since post-election euphoria.
