Stocks That Hit 52-Week Lows On Tuesday

Hoku Corp

About a billion Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) tokens were removed from circulation on Thursday, applying further deflationary pressure on the popular dog-themed cryptocurrency.
What Happened:&nbsp;Kaal Dhairya, a key figure in the ecosystem, took to X to announce the massive burning event to celebrate upgrades made to ShibTorch, Shiba Inu&#8217;s community-driven burn portal.
&#8220;To celebrate the progress team is making the deployer has burnt pending 1B SHIB, enjoy,&#8221; Dhairya said.

Coin burning involves purposely sending a cryptocurrency to an unusable wallet address to remove it from circulation. This is done to generate scarcity and gradually boost the market value of the token in the long term.
Due to the massive incineration, the burn rate shot up to 43325.59% in the past 24 hours, <a href="https://www.shibburn.com/">according </a>to Shiba Inu&#8217;s official burn tracker. As of this writing, nearly 410.744 trillion SHIB tokens have gone up in smoke.
ShibTorch was launched in August last year on Shibarium, Shiba Inu&#8217;s Layer-2 blockchain, allowing users to actively participate in burning tokens. Note that a portion of transaction fees paid on Shibarium are set aside and burned.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;The mega-burning event comes on the heels of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43261673/shytoshi-kusamas-biggest-announcement-ever-tease-triggers-rally-in-shiba-inu-ecosystem-tokens">big tease</a> by Shytoshi Kusama, Shiba Inu&#8217;s lead ambassador. Earlier this week, they hinted at the &#8220;biggest announcement&#8221; ever related to the blockchain ecosystem.
Kusama continued to pique the interest of the community, announcing that an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43293760/shiba-inus-shytoshi-kusama-teases-extremely-powerful-partnership-for-ecosystemcoin-themed-on-mysterious-personality-rallies-25">&#8220;extremely powerful partnership&#8221;</a> was the works.
Meanwhile, SHIB&#8217;s daily active addresses rose by 1.15% in the last 24 hours, although large transactions involving whales dipped significantly, <a href="https://app.intotheblock.com/?end_offset=20">according</a> to data from IntoTheBlock. 
Price Action: At the time of writing, SHIB was exchanging hands at $0.00001859, up 0.41% 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.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Shiba Inu's Burn Rate Explodes 43325% As A Billion SHIB Tokens Kicked Out Of Circulation

SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) is reportedly in discussions to spearhead a new funding round for OpenAI, potentially raising up to $40 billion.
What Happened: This investment would value the ChatGPT-maker at $300 billion, marking a record-setting funding round for a private entity, reported Reuters, citing sources.
As per the report, SoftBank assessed OpenAI&#8217;s value at $260 billion before the funding round, a notable increase <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41149788/openai-valuation-soars-to-157b-in-latest-funding-round">from $157 billion just months ago</a>.

Earlier on Thursday, the Wall Street Journal also <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/openaiin-talks-for-huge-investment-round-valuing-it-up-to-300-billion-2a2d4327">reported</a> that OpenAI could be valued at around $340 billion with this funding round.

Why It Matters: Previously, it was reported that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43327823/softbank-eyes-historic-25-billion-investment-in-openai-poised-to-dethrone-microsoft-as-chatgpt-parents-biggest-investor">SoftBank might invest</a> $15 billion to $25 billion directly into OpenAI. This investment would represent a significant commitment for SoftBank and its CEO, Masayoshi Son, who has approximately $30 billion in cash reserves.
It could make it the largest stakeholder in OpenAI, surpassing Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), which has invested nearly $14 billion.
The move comes as DeepSeek, a Chinese startup, has said it developed its cost-effective R1 model <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43327016/microsoft-ceo-satya-nadella-accepts-deepseek-ai-has-some-real-innovations-but-wont-say-if-they-mark-a-turning-point-for-ai-cost-reduction">in just two months</a>, investing $5.6 million and using lower-end Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43296041/openai-alleges-deepseek-used-proprietary-models-without-permission-as-microsoft-investigates-ai-security-risks">OpenAI has accused DeepSeek</a> of using its proprietary models without authorization.
