Content creator Jimmy Donaldson, popularly known as&nbsp;MrBeast&nbsp;posted pictures with comedian&nbsp;Kevin Hart, sparking speculation among fans about a potential collaboration between the two celebrities.
What Happened: On Wednesday, MrBeast took to Instagram and shared some pictures with Hart humorously referring to him as Twitch streamer Kai Cenat.

Chewy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHWY#NYSE">CHWY</a>) founder Ryan Cohen has sparked speculation after posting the word &#8220;TRUMP&#8221; 665 times on Elon Musk&#8216;s social media platform, X.
What Happened: Cohen&#8217;s cryptic message has left the internet abuzz with theories about its meaning. The post comes after Cohen, a Canadian entrepreneur and activist investor, recently endorsed former President Donald Trump following an assassination attempt on Trump.
Several social media users engaged with Cohen&#8217;s post, encouraging others to decode the message, and prompting some to count how many times the word &#8220;TRUMP&#8221; appeared in the text.

Trump was shot and wounded while addressing a campaign rally near Butler, Pennsylvania, on Jul. 13. Cohen, who is also the CEO of GameStop Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>), has seen the company&#8217;s stock rise over 7% since the start of the week, following his Trump endorsement.
GameStop has had a strong year in the market, with its stock up by 67% in the first seven months of 2024.

Why It Matters: Cohen is known for his business acumen and foresight. His e-commerce venture, Chewy, was founded in 2011 and later sold to PetSmart for $3.35 billion in 2017, marking the largest e-commerce acquisition at the time. Cohen&#8217;s early recognition of the growing trend in pet supplies and pet health products has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/24/07/39756943/ryan-cohen-the-goat-fresh-data-shows-chewy-mastermind-anticipated-massive-trends-in-pet-supplies">praised as a masterstroke</a>.
Meanwhile, the tech industry&#8217;s support for Trump has been a topic of debate. Billionaires, including those from Silicon Valley, have been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39244498/ex-white-house-aide-scaramucci-says-silicon-valley-taking-dangerous-approach-by-backing-trump-doesnt">publicly endorsing and fundraising</a> for Trump, a move that has been criticized as a &#8220;dangerous approach&#8221; by some, including former White House Director Anthony Scaramucci.
Musk, the CEO of Tesla Inc., has also been in the spotlight for supporting Trump. Musk, who initially stated that he would not donate to either Trump or Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election, has since publicly endorsed Trump and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39804113/exclusive-elon-musk-is-burning-his-own-blue-bridges-by-donating-to-trump-says-market-expert">reportedly donated millions of dollars</a> to a political action committee.
While the implications of Cohen&#8217;s endorsement and his recent cryptic message are yet to be fully understood, they add an intriguing layer to the ongoing intersection of tech, business, and politics.
Price Action: GameStop stock closed at $27.98, down 1.96% on Wednesday. In after-hours trading, the stock price decreased by 0.64%. Over the past five days, the stock has risen by 10.01%, and year-to-date, it has increased by 67.85%.
Meanwhile, Chewy stock closed at $26.82, showing a decrease of 2.72%. After hours, the stock price slightly increased by 0.037%. Over the past five days, the stock has gained 3.23%; year-to-date, it has risen by 20.00%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

&nbsp;Inventiva (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVA#NASDAQ">IVA</a>) (&quot;Inventiva&quot; or the &quot;Company&quot;), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of oral small molecule therapies for the treatment of patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (&quot;MASH&quot;), also known as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (&quot;NASH&quot;), and other diseases with significant unmet medical needs, today announced the issuance of royalty certificates (the &quot;Royalty Certificates&quot;) subscribed by Samsara BioCapital, BVF Partners, NEA, Sofinnova, and Yiheng, for an amount of approximately &euro;20.1 million &nbsp;(the &quot;Transaction&quot;).
Frederic Cren,&nbsp;Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and cofounder of Inventiva stated: &quot;Besides extending our cash runway, this agreement demonstrates the commitment from our key shareholders to continue the development of lanifibranor. We are also pleased to have gained the interest and support of Samsara BioCapital, a leading U.S. specialized fund. With this transaction completed, we continue to focus on advancing the development of lanifibranor, one of the most promising drugs in MASH/NASH, and we are pursuing our evaluation of strategic and financing options to fully support its development.&quot;
Reasons for the issuance and use of the proceeds of the Transaction
The Company intends to use approximately&nbsp;95%&nbsp;of the net proceeds from the Transaction to continue the NATiV3 Phase III trial of lanifibranor in MASH/ NASH (&quot;NATiV3&quot;) and the remainder for general corporate purposes.
Before giving effect to the Transaction and the cash preservation measures implemented by the Company with its creditors, considering the Company&#39;s cost structure and forecasted expenditures, the Company estimated that its cash, cash equivalents and deposits allowed the Company to fund its operations as planned until the beginning of the&nbsp;third quarter&nbsp;of 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Company&#39;s cash and cash equivalents are estimated (non-audited) to be &euro;10.1 million, compared with &euro;9.6 million, &euro;0.1 million2&nbsp;of short-term deposits and &euro;10 million3&nbsp;of long-term deposits as of May 31, 2024.
Considering its current cost structure and forecasted expenditures and including the proceeds of approximately &euro;20.1 million from the issuance of the Royalty Certificates and the cash preservation measures in the short term set up by the Company with its creditors, the Company estimates that its cash, cash equivalents and deposits should allow the Company to fund its operations through September 2024. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company&#39;s ability to continue as a going concern beyond the end of September 2024.
The Company explored a variety of options, including the issuance of debt, equity and other instruments, prior to deciding to enter into the Transaction. In order to finance its activities beyond the end of September 2024, the Company will need to raise additional funds, and it is continuing to actively review potential financing (including debt, equity and equity-linked or other instruments) and strategic options.
Main characteristics of the Transaction
The Royalty Certificates are being issued pursuant to a decision of Board of Directors on July 16, 2024, in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 228-36-A of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce) to one new investor and existing shareholders.
The Royalty Certificates give the holders thereto the right to an annual payment of royalties (the &quot;Royalties&quot;) equal to&nbsp;3%&nbsp;of the future net sales of lanifibranor (the &quot;Product&quot;), if any, beginning on the fiscal year following the start of the sales of the Product following the potential granting of the market authorization (Autorisation de mise sur le march&eacute;) for the Product in (i) the United States of America or (ii) the countries of the European Union or (iii) the United Kingdom, whichever occurs the first.
The Royalty Certificates do not have any additional financial rights besides the right to payment of Royalties referred to above. Specifically, the Royalty Certificates do not grant any financial rights on any other products that may be developed by the Company beyond lanifibranor.
The subscription price for the Royalty Certificates is &euro;20.1 million and has been calculated taking into account the net present value (&quot;NPV&quot;) of expected cash flows related to the Royalty Certificates and the current financial position of the Company. The NPV calculation depends strongly on assumptions made by the Company with regards to the chances of success of its studies, the commercialization calendar of lanifibranor, the market size addressed for lanifibranor, the market share of the product and the discount rate. In the process of setting the discount rate, the Company analyzed the expected cash flow derived from its business plan as regards to its market capitalization.
The Royalty Certificates have a term of 14 years following their issuance and do not provide for an accelerated repayment in case of change of control. The Company may at any time repurchase in full the Royalty Certificates by paying a price to be agreed between the Company and the holders of the Royalty Certificates. The Company may also redeem the Royalty Certificates from each holder, subject to offering such redemption to every holders. Lastly, the Company has a pre-emptive right in the event of the sale of Royalty Certificates by a holder.
The holders of Royalty Certificates are subject to a 6-month lock-up period after which the Royalty Certificates will become freely transferable (in whole or in part, provided that the transfer involves a minimum number of 10 Royalty Certificates) only pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the &quot;Securities Act&quot;)and to qualified investors pursuant to Article 2(e) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129. The Company will have a preemptive right on any transfer of Royalty Certificates.
Settlement and delivery of the Royalty Certificates is expected to occur on July 22, 2024. The Royalty Certificates will not be listed on any stock exchange and will not be assigned an ISIN. The closing of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
It is reminded that these Royalty Certificates are independent from the royalty certificates issued in August 2023, and do not have the same characteristics (see the Company&#39;s press release published on August 31, 2023) (the &quot;2023 Royalty&nbsp;Certificates&quot;).
The Royalty Certificates will be issued in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act and have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
The issue and subscription of the Royalty Certificates will not result in any change in the shareholder structure (for a description of the share capital, please refer to section 6.1.1 of the Company&#39;s 2023 Universal Registration Document dated April 3, 2024).

&#8220;A blank canvas no longer has to be intimidating—just describe what you want to see, and Designer can create it for you. And if you're not sure what that is, Designer can help you get started,&#8221; the company said while launching.
The app enables users to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/10/35409188/microsoft-bings-dall-e-3-powered-ai-image-generator-spins-1-8b-masterpieces-heres-how-to-use-it">generate images using text prompts</a> and provides templates for creating social media images and greeting cards. It also includes an avatar creation tool&nbsp;and options to edit existing&nbsp;images, including background and object removal or alteration.

Although the app is free, it restricts users to 15 &#8220;boosts&#8221; per day, which are used&nbsp;when AI-based changes are made&nbsp;to images. Users can&nbsp;upgrade to a $20 Copilot&nbsp;Pro subscription for 100 boosts per day.
Why It Matters: The launch of Microsoft Designer comes ahead of the expected release of Apple Intelligence, Apple&#8217;s own generative AI image tool, slated for release this fall.
Earlier this year, Microsoft expressed concerns over an agreement between&nbsp;OpenAI and Apple, fearing it could impact <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/39109729/openais-apple-deal-sparks-concerns-in-microsoft-could-shift-ai-market-dynamics">Microsoft&#8217;s product ambitions</a>. In July, Microsoft decided to&nbsp;relinquish its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39703459/microsoft-relinquishes-observer-role-on-openais-board-says-it-is-confident-in-companys-direction">board observer position at OpenAI</a>.
Meanwhile, Wedbush Securities' Daniel Ives predicted a &#8220;monumental boost&#8221; to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39776594/microsofts-iphone-moment-wedbush-analyst-dan-ives-expects-ai-to-add-1-trillion-to-v">Microsoft's valuation due to the AI</a> revolution, potentially adding a whopping $1 trillion to its market cap.

Microsoft Outpaces Apple, Introduces 'Designer' AI Image Generation Tool For The iPhone

Cardano (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>) founder Charles Hoskinson waded into the debate around mixing politics with cryptocurrencies, unequivocally urging to vote for parties and leaders seen as friendly towards the industry.
What Happened: Co-founder of Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), Vitalik Buterin, raised eyebrows with his X post on Wednesday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39825744/vitalik-vs-trump-donors-ethereum-co-founder-says-hes-against-choosing-your-political-alleg">that warned against preferring political leaders based on how supportive</a> they are to cryptocurrency.&nbsp;&nbsp;
In response, Hoskinson, who is also one of the original founders of the project, sharply differed with the view.&nbsp;
<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">My first goal has always been to keep government out of crypto completely. In the places where that&#39;s not possible, the choice is pretty clear. If they want a CBDC, sue non-custodial wallets, systematically jail the leaders of Crypto, call everyone a security, and bully and… <a href="https://t.co/T7qZwPdJPA">https://t.co/T7qZwPdJPA</a>

He advocated voting against parties and candidates who want to introduce Central Bank Digital Currencies, "systematically" jail top names within the cryptocurrency industry, and label all assets as securities.&nbsp;

No prizes for guessing, Hoskinson's dig was at the incumbent Joe Biden-led administration, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38841071/cardano-founder-charles-hoskinson-accuses-biden-administration-of-attempting-to-kill-crypt">whose policies he has severely criticized in the past</a>.
He ended his post by saying, "A vote for Biden is a vote for the death of the American crypto industry. In 2024, be a single issue. Vote for pro-crypto candidates."
Why It Matters: Hoskinson and Buterin have had a long-standing rivalry that dates back to disagreement over the long-term vision of Ethereum. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/02/25823645/5-things-you-might-not-know-about-charles-hoskinson-cardano-founder-and-ethereum-co-founde">Hoskinson left the project </a>in 2014 and went on to find Cardano as a competitor to Ethereum.
The two take occasional swipes at each other. In one instance, Hoskinson even indicated his willingness to take on Buterin in an MMA fight, saying, "I&#8217;d train very hard for that one.

In a previous <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/cardano/comments/14x3aa9/ive_heard_hes_matured_vitalik_buterin_on_charles/">interview</a>, Buterin stated that &#8220;Charles has matured and progressed in a lot of ways,&#8221; and that he is very different from who he was in 2014.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Ethereum is exchanging hands at $3,419.25, down 2.51% 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>.

Ethereum Co-founder Charles Hoskinson Differs With Old Rival Vitalik Buterin On Mixing Crypto And Politics: 'A Vote For Biden Is A Vote For The Death Of The American Crypto Industry'

&nbsp;Braemar Hotels &amp; Resorts has closed on the previously announced sale of the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines for&nbsp;$165 million&nbsp;($419,000&nbsp;per key).&nbsp; Including anticipated capital expenditures of&nbsp;$40 million, the sale price represents a&nbsp;7.2%&nbsp;capitalization rate on net operating income for the trailing twelve months ended&nbsp;March 31, 2024.&nbsp; The Company continues to evaluate the sale of two more hotels, subject to market conditions, to be completed in 2024 and 2025, respectively.

Elon Musk&#8216;s SpaceX said on Wednesday that it is now providing internet to about 400,000 customers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39371975/elon-musks-starlink-hardware-hits-the-shelves-at-walmart-target-home-depot-and-best-buy">in Canada</a> or about 3% of homes across the country.
What Happened: The company made the announcement via Starlink&#8217;s official X account. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk also reiterated the achievement. 
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

In Canada, standard Starlink hardware is currently priced at C$199 ($145), discounted from its original C$499 price. Service, meanwhile, is priced at C$140/ month ($102/ month). The pricing in Canada is significantly lower than in the U.S. where hardware is priced at $299 after discount and service is priced at $120/ month. 
Starlink is the satellite internet segment of Musk&#8217;s SpaceX. The company intends to provide global connectivity using a Starlink satellite network in Earth&#8217;s low-Earth orbit.
Globally, Starlink currently connects over 3 million people to the internet across 100 countries, territories, and many other markets. 
The segment achieved a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/11/35583773/spacex-ceo-elon-musk-says-starlink-business-has-achieved-breakeven-cash-flow-is-an-ipo-on-the-cards" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">breakeven cash flow</a>&nbsp;in November.
Why It Matters: According to a study by astronomer&nbsp;Jonathan McDowell, SpaceX has launched over 6,700 Starlink satellites to date, of which over 5,900 are in operational orbit.
Last week, SpaceX launched its Falcon 9 launch vehicle with 20 Starlink satellites from California which were deployed in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39745318/elon-musks-spacex-fails-to-deploy-starlink-satellites-in-intended-orbit-owing-to-a-rocket-engine-iss" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lower-than-expected orbit</a> owing to an issue with the rocket's second-stage engine. Though the company subsequently tried to contact the satellites to raise their orbits, the attempts failed. The satellites will now re-enter Earth's atmosphere and &#8220;fully demise,&#8221; SpaceX informed on Friday.
Space X said it would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39766325/starlink-satellites-from-thursdays-launch-will-fully-demise-in-earths-atmosphere-says-elon-musks-spa">perform a full investigation</a> in coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to determine the cause of the incident and take corrective measures in the future.
SpaceX has not launched any other mission since then.
