Elon Musk-led&nbsp;SpaceX&nbsp;has obtained a commercial license from the&nbsp;Federal Communications Commission (FCC)&nbsp;for its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/starlink">Starlink Direct-to-Cell service</a>. This marks a pivotal step in expanding the reach of satellite-based mobile connectivity.
What Happened: The FCC has granted SpaceX a U.S. commercial license for its Starlink Direct-to-Cell service. This license allows SpaceX to operate its Gen2 Starlink satellites for non-geostationary orbit fixed-satellite services.
The FCC&#8217;s order partially approves SpaceX&#8217;s application&nbsp;to construct, deploy, and operate&nbsp;these satellites, with certain conditions.
The license also includes permission for SpaceX&nbsp;to provide Supplemental Coverage from&nbsp;Space (SCS) within the U.S. and to conduct direct-to-cell operations outside the country using its existing 7,500 Gen2 Starlink satellites.

Previously, the FCC granted SpaceX and&nbsp;T-Mobile US Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>)&nbsp;Special Temporary Authority (STA) to&nbsp;deliver Starlink Direct-to-Cell services in regions affected&nbsp;by Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
This service proved crucial in aiding recovery efforts, connecting 270,000 mobile phones, all belonging to T-Mobile subscribers, as reported by SpaceX earlier this month.
Why It Matters: This FCC license is a major milestone for SpaceX&#8217;s Starlink, enabling it to enhance mobile connectivity.
Earlier this month, SpaceX and T-Mobile activated their Direct-to-Cell coverage in Florida before&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41243785/spacexs-starlink-and-t-mobile-get-approval-to-roll-out-direct-to-cell-coverage-in-florida-before-hur">Hurricane Milton</a>&nbsp;made landfall. This initiative allowed residents to send messages, contact emergency services, and receive alerts, even when traditional networks were down.
In September, T-Mobile successfully sent its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40826886/t-mobile-sends-first-wireless-emergency-alert-via-spacexs-starlink-satellites-in-space">first wireless emergency alert</a> via Starlink satellites, highlighting the potential of this technology in public safety. The alert was transmitted from a Starlink satellite in low-Earth orbit, functioning as a cell tower in space, and was received by a T-Mobile smartphone within seconds. This demonstrated the capability of Starlink to provide geographically targeted alerts in emergencies.
Moreover, SpaceX executive Benjamin Longmier recently clarified that Starlink would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41592030/worried-starlink-wont-work-on-cell-phones-indoors-spacex-engineer-clears-the-air">enable connectivity for cellphones even indoors</a>, addressing concerns about signal availability.
This comes at a time when SpaceX CEO Musk said that the company will use proceeds from its Starlink service to fund the Mars mission.
SpaceX is also reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42022150/spacex-to-launch-tender-offer-valuing-company-at-over-250-billion-report">preparing to launch a tender offer</a> that values the company at $250 billion. While the company is private, investors can leverage&nbsp;Destiny Tech100 Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXYZ#NYSE">DXYZ</a>)&nbsp;and&nbsp;Cathie Wood‘s&nbsp;Ark Venture Fund&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKVX#NASDAQ">ARKVX</a>) to participate in the Musk-led space company&#8217;s growth.

MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) has become the epicenter of intense market speculation following a dramatic 23.64% stock decline over the past five sessions, while Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42206056/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-tumble-as-diamond-hands-lock-in-gains-analyst-anticipates-strong-buyback-pressure-to-follow-sell-pressure">experienced a 5.52% drop during the same period</a>.
What Happened: Prominent investment analyst Gary Black of The Future Fund LLC raised alarm bells about MicroStrategy&#8217;s valuation, arguing that the company&#8217;s stock price &#8220;makes no sense.&#8221; Black&#8217;s analysis suggests the stock should be valued at around $105 per share—approximately 75% lower than its current trading price.
&#8220;Don't say I didn't warn you,&#8221; Black wrote. 
The company, led by CEO Michael Saylor, currently holds 386,700 Bitcoin, valued at $35.4 billion. With a market capitalization of $81.5 billion, MicroStrategy continues to trade at roughly 2.3 times the current value of its Bitcoin holdings.
The Kobeissi Letter highlighted unprecedented retail investor activity, noting that on a single Wednesday last week, retail investors purchased approximately $42 million of MSTR stock. 
This marked the largest daily retail purchase on record, with total retail investment approaching $100 million for the week. The stock experienced extraordinary trading dynamics, with last week seeing $136 billion in trading volume—exceeding even Amazon Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), despite AMZN having a market cap nearly 29 times larger.

Why It Matters: Standard Chartered analyst Geoffrey Kendrick provided critical market insights, suggesting Bitcoin may test support zones between $85,000 and $88,700. His year-end price target remains $125,000, with a long-term <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42192364/bitcoin-correction-could-go-as-deep-as-88700-but-125000-year-end-target-remains-in-play-says-standard-chartered">projection of $200,000 by the end of 2025</a>.
MicroStrategy&#8217;s investment approach involves a cyclical strategy of borrowing money through convertible notes, purchasing Bitcoin, driving price appreciation, selling shares at a premium, and reinvesting in more Bitcoin. 
Analysts are questioning the sustainability of this model, particularly whether Saylor can continue raising debt to purchase Bitcoin and if institutional and retail investor enthusiasm will persist.
Bitcoin&#8217;s recent pullback from near $100,000 to around $93,440 reflects broader market uncertainties, including reduced U.S. Treasury term premiums, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42206056/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-tumble-as-diamond-hands-lock-in-gains-analyst-anticipates-strong-buyback-pressure-to-follow-sell-pressure">upcoming options expirations, and institutional repositioning</a>.
Price Action: Bitcoin was trading at $93,433 at the time of writing, up by 0.80% in the last 24 hours.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MSTR/analyst-ratings">Benzinga Pro data</a>, the consensus price target for MicroStrategy is $449.50. The highest price target is $690, while the lowest is $140, implying a potential 54.56% upside based on the most recent analyst ratings.

Russian-linked hacking group RomCom has exploited vulnerabilities in Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Corp.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Windows to target users across Europe and North America.
What Happened: In a blog post on Monday, security researchers at ESET shared that they have discovered that RomCom used two previously unknown zero-day vulnerabilities in a widespread cyberattack.
These flaws allowed hackers to deploy a "zero-click" exploit, installing malware remotely without user interaction.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42153854/apples-future-ventures-huaweis-new-chip-and-googles-antitrust-woes-this-week-in-appleverse?itm_source=parsely-api">Apple&#8217;s Future Ventures, Huawei&#8217;s New Chip, And Google&#8217;s Antitrust Woes: This Week In Appleverse</a>
RomCom leveraged these vulnerabilities through malicious websites to infect victims' devices with backdoor malware, granting them extensive access.
Mozilla patched the Firefox vulnerability on Oct. 9, while Microsoft addressed the Windows flaw on Nov. 12, after a report from Google&#8217;s Threat Analysis Group.
Subscribe to the <a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a> to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Why It Matters: RomCom was previously associated with a ransomware attack on Japanese tech giant Casio. The group is also notorious for targeting organizations allied with Ukraine. 
The attack by RomCom is also part of a broader pattern of Russian-linked cyber activities targeting various sectors globally. In September, it was reported that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40848363/pro-russian-hackers-reportedly-disrupt-taiwan-stock-exchange-on-thursday-services-restored-in-22-min">pro-Russian hackers</a> disrupted the Taiwan Stock Exchange, causing temporary service instability.
During the same month, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40912191/harris-walz-campaign-targeted-by-russian-hackers-microsoft-threat-analysis-center-notices-shift-in-t">Microsoft&#8217;s Threat Analysis Center</a> reported a shift in Russian cyber tactics, with operations targeting the Kamala Harris–Tim Walz campaign ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

Russian Hackers Launch Widespread Cyber Assault Using Firefox And Windows Zero-Days: What You Need To Know About The RomCom Exploit

The rise in prices of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), and others may have enabled lower-income households to take out new mortgages to purchase property, a new study revealed.
What Happened: A paper by the U.S. Treasury&#8217;s Office of Financial Research has <a href="https://www.financialresearch.gov/briefs/files/OFRBrief-24-08-crypto-exposure-and-household-financial-outcomes.pdf">identified </a>a correlation between the surge in cryptocurrency investments and an increase in debt, particularly mortgages, in areas with high exposure to cryptocurrencies. 
Data showed that for low-income households in high-crypto exposure zip codes, the mortgage holder rate nearly quadrupled from 4.1% in January 2020 to 15.4% in January 2024. Additionally, the average balance per mortgage increased by over 150% from $171,773 in 2020 to $443,123.
&#8220;This indicates that low-income households may be using cryptocurrency gains to take out new mortgages and take out larger mortgages,&#8221; the study said.
The study also found that the average income of the cohort was $40,664 in January 2024, indicating a mortgage debt-to-income ratio of 0.53, well above the recommended benchmark of 0.36.
&#8220;It is particularly concerning because higher debt-to-income ratios are positively correlated with future default rates, especially during periods of turmoil such as the 2008 financial crisis,&#8221; the study stated.
That said, higher leverage among these groups hasn&#8217;t resulted in higher delinquency rates as of Q1 2024. On the contrary, delinquency on debt dropped the most among low-income households.
Mortgage delinquency dropped by 4.2% among low-income households in high-crypto exposure areas compared to 3.8% in low-crypto areas.

It&#8217;s worth noting that during the period between January 2020 and January 2024, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization increased by 737%, from roughly $197 billion to $1.65 trillion.
Additionally, major coins like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) have leaped 355%, more than fourfold, in the said time period.
An August report <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40837412/65-of-u-s-consumers-think-crypto-could-replace-cash-in-the-future-deutsche-bank-report-fin">disclosed </a>that U.S. consumers are becoming more&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/06/39253573/crypto-adoption-is-coming-slow-and-steady-research-report-says" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">receptive to cryptocurrency</a>, with fewer than 1% now dismissing it as a "fad," a significant drop from previous years.
Enthusiasts have placed high hopes in President-elect Donald Trump, who enthusiastically supported cryptocurrencies during his election campaign and is speculated to create the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42098407/donald-trump-reportedly-eyeing-the-first-crypto-focused-role-in-the-white-house">first-ever White House role dedicated to cryptocurrency policy</a>.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $93,246.09, up 0.77% 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>.

Cardano (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>) founder Charles Hoskinson, a co-founder of Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), predicted Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) could surge to between $250,000 and $500,000 within the next 12 to 24 months, citing growing institutional investment and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42198909/trump-linked-crypto-platform-world-liberty-financial-appoints-justin-sun-as-advisor-after-30-million-investment">emerging decentralized finance opportunities</a>.
What Happened: In a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qh7PlT2tq4">livestream</a> from Colorado, Hoskinson emphasized Bitcoin&#8217;s transformative potential, describing it as more than just a cryptocurrency but a strategic asset for governments and institutions worldwide. 
Hoskinson has deep roots in the cryptocurrency ecosystem and highlighted Bitcoin&#8217;s evolution from a &#8220;dormant project&#8221; to a potentially revolutionary financial technology.
The cryptocurrency veteran believes Bitcoin&#8217;s ecosystem could experience unprecedented growth, particularly with the development of DeFi layers that could dramatically expand its utility. 
He stated that &#8220;governments are considering Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset,&#8221; drawing a parallel to gold&#8217;s historical role as a store of value. Hoskinson predicted that &#8220;Bitcoin-based DeFi will surpass all other ecosystems within 24 to 36 months.&#8221;
In a keynote speech at a Bitcoin conference in Nashville, Tennessee, this past July, President-elect Donald Trump pledged to establish the United States as the &#8220;crypto capital of the planet&#8221; and indicated plans to create a Bitcoin strategic reserve utilizing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41770352/bitcoins-future-under-president-elect-donald-trump-a-look-at-his-crypto-policies">cryptocurrency held by the government</a>.

Why It Matters: The prediction comes amid a volatile cryptocurrency landscape. Recent data shows Bitcoin experiencing significant price fluctuations, with long-term holders offloading 728,000 coins in the past 30 days—the l<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42206056/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-tumble-as-diamond-hands-lock-in-gains-analyst-anticipates-strong-buyback-pressure-to-follow-sell-pressure">argest sell-off since April</a>. 
Despite short-term volatility, market analysts remain cautiously optimistic. Haider Rafique, Global Chief Marketing Officer at OKX exchange, noted the significant profit potential for investors, with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42206056/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-tumble-as-diamond-hands-lock-in-gains-analyst-anticipates-strong-buyback-pressure-to-follow-sell-pressure">average holding price around $30,000</a>.
While bullish on Bitcoin, Hoskinson remains committed to Cardano&#8217;s role in the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem. He positioned Cardano as a &#8220;spiritual successor to Bitcoin&#8221; and emphasized the importance of creating hybrid applications that integrate Bitcoin functionality, showcasing his continued innovation in the blockchain space.
Price Action: Bitcoin the leading cryptocurrency by market capitalization, is currently trading at $93,201.11. The price has risen by 1.74% over the past 24 hours and 0.63% over the last seven days, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Bitcoin Could Surge To $500K Amid DeFi Boom, Trump's Pledge To Establish A BTC Strategic Reserve, Says Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson

Investors who supported Elon Musk&#8216;s acquisition of Twitter are reportedly seeing significant returns due to the rising valuation of his AI company, xAI. These investors, who received a 25% stake in xAI, are poised for substantial gains.
What Happened: xAI, founded by Musk last year, is reportedly nearing the completion of a $5 billion fundraising round. This could potentially double its valuation to $50 billion within six months, offsetting some of the unrealized losses from the Twitter deal. Notable beneficiaries include Fidelity, Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, and Jack Dorsey.
The strategic intertwining of Musk&#8217;s ventures, including Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and SpaceX, underscores the benefits for those backing his enterprises. The latest funding round will bring xAI&#8217;s total investment to approximately $11 billion, crucial for its AI model development and supercomputer infrastructure, the Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/5c9ca1f6-b6fe-4c96-84e2-38e3eee90f3b">reported</a> on Wednesday.

Despite Twitter&#8217;s declining value, xAI&#8217;s growth has been advantageous for Musk&#8217;s backers, who initially contributed $7.1 billion for the Twitter takeover. The Financial Times noted that only previous xAI investors could participate in the latest fundraising, maintaining their stake undiluted.
xAI is yet to respond to Benzinga&#8217;s queries.
Why It Matters: The rise in xAI&#8217;s valuation comes as the company seeks to raise <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42022077/elon-musks-xai-seeks-6b-at-50b-valuation-to-acquire-100k-nvidia-chips-for-memphis-data-center">up to $6 billion </a>to acquire 100,000 Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips for its Memphis data center. This move is part of xAI&#8217;s strategy to bolster its AI capabilities and infrastructure.
Additionally,&nbsp;Cathie Wood&#8216;s ARK Venture Fund&nbsp;has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42180383/want-to-invest-in-spacex-and-xai-cathie-woods-ark-venture-fund-brings-musks-private-companies-to-your-portfolio">opened up investment opportunities</a> in Musk&#8217;s private ventures, including xAI, SpaceX, and the rebranded social media platform X. The&nbsp;ARK Venture Fund&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKVX#NASDAQ">ARKVX</a>) would give exposure to the companies, with xAI representing 1.5%&nbsp;of the portfolio.
