SKYSCRAPER-01 is a global Phase III, randomized, double-blinded study evaluating tiragolumab plus Tecentriq compared to Tecentriq alone in 534 patients with PD-L1-high previously untreated, locally advanced unresectable or metastatic NSCLC. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either tiragolumab plus Tecentriq or placebo plus Tecentriq, until disease progression, loss of clinical benefit, or unacceptable toxicity. The study did not reach the primary endpoint of overall survival at the final analysis. The overall safety profile observed remained consistent with longer follow-up, and no new safety signals were identified. The detailed data will be presented at a medical meeting in 2025.

NASA has selected Elon Musk&#8216;s SpaceX to provide launch services for a rotorcraft lander mission aimed at exploring the largest moon of the planet Saturn in July 2028
What Happened: The deal is priced at about $256.6 million, including launch services and other related costs. 
The mission is expected to fly in the period from July 5 to July 25, 2028, on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Florida to explore the moon called Titan. 
&#8220;Dragonfly centers on novel approach to planetary exploration, employing a rotorcraft-lander to travel between and sample diverse sites on Saturn's largest moon,&#8221; NASA said in a statement.
The mission is aimed at identifying the habitability of Titan's environment and searching for chemical indications of whether water-based or hydrocarbon-based life once existed on Saturn's moon, among other goals.
Why It Matters: SpaceX has multiple contracts with NASA to fly astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station (ISS) and also to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39870115/spacex-ceo-elon-musk-says-safe-destruction-of-international-space-station-will-be-a-very-dramatic-ev">bring down the space station</a> upon its retirement around 2030. 
NASA is also relying on a particular version of SpaceX&#8217;s Starship launch vehicle called the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42108681/spacex-shows-off-conceptual-version-of-starship-which-will-help-humans-land-back-on-moon-in-over-50-yrs">Human Landing System or HLS</a> to enable astronauts to land back on the surface of the Moon for the first time since 1972.
During the Artemis 3 mission, slated for no earlier than September 2026, the Starship HLS will be launched first and it will wait for NASA's Orion spacecraft in lunar orbit after filling its tanks in space. Once the Orion spacecraft arrives, the HLS will dock with it. Two of the four crew members on the mission will transfer from Orion to Starship and descend to the surface of the moon.
The last time humans set foot on the Moon was in 1972 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36692749/just-a-worse-version-of-apollo-elon-musk-baffled-by-nasa-veterans-push-to-ditch-spacex-blue-origin-a" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">with Apollo 17</a>. Since then, no crew has traveled beyond low-Earth orbit.
While SpaceX is not yet listed on the exchanges, investors can leverage Destiny Tech100 Inc.

Telegram has reported significant financial growth in the first half of 2024, with revenue reaching $525 million, driven by strong performance in cryptocurrency holdings. This is despite ongoing legal challenges facing its CEO, Pavel Durov.
What Happened: Telegram&#8217;s financial disclosures indicate that the company has benefited from the rising value of its cryptocurrency holdings, which have grown to $1.3 billion, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/a48acdae-6a6c-4073-894f-89ef5cf8b185">reported</a> Financial Times, citing the company's unaudited financial statements.
This increase, along with proceeds from selling Toncoins, has provided a financial cushion for the Dubai-based firm amid Durov&#8217;s legal troubles.
In August, Durov was detained by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40558693/telegram-ceo-pavel-durov-faces-12-serious-charges-french-prosecutor-reveals">French authorities in Paris</a>, facing preliminary charges related to alleged criminal activities on the platform.&nbsp;

Despite these challenges, Telegram informed investors that the situation has not materially impacted its operations.
The company generated $225 million from a one-time deal involving Toncoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TON</a>), initially developed by Telegram but now managed by an open-source community. 
Telegram&#8217;s financial statements also show a post-tax profit of $335 million for the first half of the year.
Subscribe to the <a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a> to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Why It Matters: Telegram&#8217;s financial health has been under scrutiny, especially with reports suggesting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40669018/telegrams-financial-health-in-question-a-roadblock-to-30b-ipo">loss of $108 million on revenue</a> of $342 million in the previous year.
Despite these challenges, the company has been eyeing a $30 billion IPO in 2026. It remains focused on monetization through ads and premium subscriptions.
A significant portion of Telegram&#8217;s revenue, over 40%, is derived from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40659490/telegram-derives-40-of-its-revenue-from-crypto-related-operations">crypto-related operations</a>, including its integrated wallet and sale of collectibles.
This reliance on cryptocurrency has provided a financial buffer amid legal challenges.
Additionally, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41437710/v3v-ventures-invests-5-million-in-premium-telegram-usernames-seizing-unique-advantages-to-">investments like the $5 million</a> by V3V Ventures in premium Telegram usernames highlight the platform&#8217;s potential in the crypto space, as these usernames are seen as valuable assets for building crypto channels.
Price Action: Toncoin is priced at $6.26, reflecting a 2.16% rise over the past 24 hours. However, its trading volume has declined by 15.18%, amounting to $626.53 million at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Telegram's $1.3B Crypto Windfall Shields Business Amid Pavel Durov's Legal Troubles, Toncoin Emerges As The Golden Goose

Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers predicts potentially significant economic disruption under a potential President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s administration, cautioning that proposed economic policies could trigger an inflation shock more substantial than recent experiences.
What Happened: In a recent interview, Summers highlighted two primary concerns about the proposed economic agenda: massive demand-side stimulus and substantial supply-side disruptions. The critical components include widespread tax cuts, potential budget deficit expansion, and comprehensive tariff implementations.
&#8220;If they were literally implemented, I have little doubt the Trump program is a far larger stimulus to inflation than anything President [Joe] Biden enacted,&#8221; Summers told CNN.
&#8220;Markets go up, markets go down. Their record in predicting inflation isn&#8217;t very good,&#8221; Summers said. 
Key inflationary risks include:
<ol>
<li>Widespread Tax Cuts: Potentially bloating the federal budget deficit</li>
<li>Across-Board Tariffs: Substantial increases on Chinese goods and imports</li>
<li>Labor Market Disruptions: Potential massive worker deportations creating labor shortages</li>
</ol>

Why It Matters: Supporting economic analysis from Goldman Sachs reinforces Summers&#8217; concerns. The investment bank estimates a universal 10% tariff could push inflation back to 3%, raising core personal consumption <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42042411/inflation-could-surge-to-3-if-trump-applies-universal-tariffs-goldman-sachs">expenditures inflation by 0.9-1.2 percentage points</a>.
Market indicators currently show resilience. S&amp;P 500 tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) has gained 3.61%, trading at $597.53, while Nasdaq-100 Index tracked by Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) increased 2.92% to $506.59, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
Summers emphasized the potential systemic risks, warning that special economic deals could undermine the rule-based market economy that has historically supported robust U.S. market valuations.
The potential economic shifts come amid a complex fiscal landscape, with the U.S. federal budget deficit projected to reach $1.7 trillion in 2024 and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41461338/imf-upwardly-revises-us-economic-growth-but-warns-under-current-policies-the-us-public-debt-is-not-s">debt-to-GDP ratio approaching 120%</a>.

Asset management firm VanEck&nbsp;expressed optimism at El Salvador&#8217;s bold Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) bet, terming it as a model of innovation for the emerging world.
What Happened: A report penned by Matthew Sigel, VanEck&#8217;s Head of Digital Assets Research, took stock of the Central American nation&#8217;s experience with Bitcoin and its positive impact.
<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">How El Salvador Became Latin America&#39;s Comeback Story: New VanEck Research <a href="https://t.co/mygU0TbTJs">https://t.co/mygU0TbTJs</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The report highlighted that nearly 8% of Salvadorans have&nbsp;used Bitcoin for transactions by 2024, terming it a &#8220;meaningful step&#8221; forward for a country with traditionally low electronic payment adoption rates.
Sigel touched down on the country&#8217;s soaring Bitcoin reserves, which represented 1.6% of the country&#8217;s GDP. 
The idea of a &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/12/36192059/el-salvadors-volcanic-bitcoin-bond-approval-sets-stage-to-build-a-crypto-city">Volcano Bond</a>,&#8221; the proceeds of which are aimed to fund the development of Bitcoin City, an economic zone powered by geothermal energy, was also lauded.

Furthermore, VanEck bet on the country&#8217;s potential as a clean energy-powered Bitcoin mining hub. Interestingly, President Nayib Bukele <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42157461/el-salvadors-nayib-bukele-fancies-the-idea-of-renting-volcanoes-to-mine-bitcoin">floated</a> the "rent your volcano to mine&nbsp;Bitcoin&#8221; idea just a day before.
The report also foresaw strong collaboration between the incoming Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42122348/trumps-planned-crypto-council-may-oversee-bitcoin-reserve-report">administration</a> and El Salvador.
&#8220;With Trump's well-documented support for Bitcoin and focus on reshoring and "friend-shoring" supply chains, El Salvador could emerge as a strategic partner in U.S. efforts to build regional alliances.&#8221;
Why It Matters: El Salvador has doubled down on Bitcoin ever since adopting the world&#8217;s largest digital currency as a legal tender in 2021. The country has adopted a plan&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/03/37763988/pro-bitcoin-president-nayib-bukele-says-el-salvador-will-purchase-btc-daily-until-king-cry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">to buy one Bitcoin every day</a>, until it becomes unaffordable with fiat currencies.
As of this writing, El Salvador&nbsp;<a href="https://bitcoin.gob.sv/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">holds&nbsp;</a>5,945.77 Bitcoins in its treasury, worth nearly $561 million at current market prices.
But despite the promising figures, the Bitcoin adoption in El Salvador <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40644084/el-salvador-president-nayib-bukele-says-bitcoin-uptake-hasnt-been-a-resounding-success-we-">has not been a resounding success</a>. 
Earlier in August, President Bukele admitted that the uptake of Bitcoin in the country hasn&#8217;t been as widespread as anticipated. However, he emphasized that the government never forced anyone to adopt it, offering it as an option instead.
Price Action: As of this writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $94,259.83, down 3.74% 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>.

Pro-Bitcoin Trump Administration Could See El Salvador Emerging As US 'Strategic Partner,' Says VanEck

Shares of Brightcove Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BCOV#NASDAQ">BCOV</a>) soared 35.42% on Monday to close at $4.32 following news of Halper Sadeh LLC's investigation into the fairness of the company's proposed sale to Bending Spoons for $4.45 per share in cash. 
What Happened: The stock remains volatile, slightly dipping 0.23% in after-hours trading. Year-to-date, BCOV has gained 73.49%, though it is down nearly 70% from its 2021 high of $24.43, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
The legal firm is probing whether Brightcove's board secured optimal value for shareholders, citing concerns that the deal may undervalue the company. Halper Sadeh may seek higher compensation or additional disclosures.
This development comes amid a long-term decline in BCOV's valuation, with the stock trading significantly below its all-time high of $24.80 reached in 2012. 
The investigation underscores shareholder apprehension over whether the board has upheld its fiduciary duties in the merger process.

By investing in this fund, individuals can gain indirect exposure to these high-profile companies that are not publicly traded.

Why It Matters: Previously, it was reported that SpaceX was planning to launch a tender offer next month, allowing the sale of shares at $135 each, which would value the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42022150/spacex-to-launch-tender-offer-valuing-company-at-over-250-billion-report">company at over $250 billion</a>.
On the other hand, Fidelity&#8217;s latest valuation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/10/41603930/trump-vs-musk-djt-stock-worth-more-than-latest-x-valuation-thanks-to-2024-election-run-up">estimates X at $9.4 billion</a>, a sharp drop from its $44 billion valuation in 2022 when Musk acquired the company.
However, following major advertisers exodus, things appear to be getting better for Musk's social media platform.
Earlier this month, Musk thanked major brands such as IBM, Walt Disney Co., Comcast, and Warner Bros. Discovery for returning to advertise on X.
After the U.S. 2024 Presidential election, reports indicated that some advertisers are considering returning to X to align with both Musk and President-Elect Donald Trump.
Meanwhile, Musk&#8217;s AI startup, xAI, is reportedly seeking to raise as much as $6 billion to acquire 100,000 Nvidia Corporation chips. This new funding round would <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">value xAI at $50 billion</a>, more than twice its previous valuation of $24 billion.

Renowned economist&nbsp;Peter Schiff&nbsp;came hard at the U.S. government&#8217;s endorsement of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), predicting potential economic consequences.
What Happened: On Monday, Schiff took to X to express his concerns over the incoming Donald Trump administration&#8217;s bet on the world&#8217;s leading cryptocurrency.
&#8220;Thanks to the Trump administration&#8217;s&nbsp;picking Bitcoin, Wall Street is&nbsp;winning bigly misallocating capital to&nbsp;Bitcoin and related value-destroying businesses,&#8221; Schiff stated.
Schiff&#8217;s remarks appeared to be directed at MicroStrategy Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) aggressive Bitcoin buying strategy, now being emulated by other Wall Street <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42179537/rumble-bets-on-bitcoin-with-new-treasury-strategy-ceo-calls-it-an-excellent-addition">companies </a>like Rumble Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUM#NASDAQ">RUM</a>). 
In what appeared to be a dig at Trump&#8217;s popular &#8216;Make America Great Again&#8217; slogan, Schiff said that becoming a Bitcoin superpower would make &#8220;America weaker.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Schiff&#8217;s comments come in the wake of his previous warnings about the potential economic catastrophe that could result from the U.S. government establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve. 
He warned that the government would have to print more dollars to buy additional Bitcoin, which could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41886523/peter-schiff-us-bitcoin-reserve-could-destroy-dollar-predicts-its-highly-unlikely-to-happen">spiral into hyperinflation and severely devalue the dollar</a>.
The staunch Bitcoin critic has also been unsparing in his attack on Michael Saylor&#8217;s MicroStrategy, the firm currently hogging all the limelight because of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42159139/microstrategy-shares-rise-in-monday-pre-market-as-michael-saylor-reveals-mstr-generating-500m-daily-amid-bitcoins-surge">aggressive BTC purchases.</a> He&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41478505/peter-schiff-predicts-a-bloodbath-for-microstrategy-stock-calls-it-the-most-overvalued-on-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">predicted a ‘bloodbath'</a>&nbsp;for MicroStrategy's stock, terming it the most overvalued on the MSCI World Index.
Despite Schiff&#8217;s criticism, analysts&nbsp;argue&nbsp;that establishing a Bitcoin reserve would lend <a href="https://blog.coinshares.com/how-trumps-victory-could-boost-bitcoin-s-prospects-c5bb8d3c5bc8">Bitcoin historic legitimacy</a> and drive institutional interest, potentially accelerating its growth and pushing its value to unprecedented levels.

These trades were part of a series of strategic moves made by the investment firm.
The Tesla Trade

The total value of the sold shares, based on the closing price of $338.59, amounts to approximately $7 million. This move comes amidst news that Tesla vehicles <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/42175967/whats-going-on-with-tesla-stock-today-3">may not be eligible</a> for rebates under a new California consumer rebates proposal, causing Tesla shares to close lower on Monday.
The Amazon Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s ARKQ fund bought 19,747 shares of Amazon. The value of this trade, calculated from the closing price of $201.45, is approximately $4 million.

Amazon&#8217;s partnership with Anthropic is expected to be mutually beneficial, with Anthropic naming Amazon Web Services as its primary training partner and cloud provider. The Palantir Trade
On Monday, Ark sold 26,047 shares of Palantir worth $1.7 million through its ARKK ETF.
Ark Invest&#8217;s move to trade in PLTR follows a significant endorsement of the artificial intelligence software sector by Wedbush Securities. The firm&#8217;s Managing Director, Dan Ives, has predicted that 2025 will be a pivotal year for AI implementation across the industry. This comes as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42156160/palantir-price-target-raised-to-75-by-dan-ives-amid-288-ytd-surge-analyst-calls-2025-a-primetime-year-for-ai">Palantir continues its impressive ascent</a>, having surged 288% year-to-date.
In a sector-wide upgrade, Ives raised Palantir's price target to $75, signaling broader confidence in the software sector's AI potential. The last close price for PLTR was $64.65, marking a 0.47% increase.
The AMD Trade

Cathie Wood-Led Ark Invest's Latest Portfolio Maneuver: Dumps Tesla And Palantir Shares, Buys Amazon And AMD Stock

Wedbush analyst Dan Ives has reaffirmed his $75 price target on Palantir Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>), citing strong growth potential amid the AI revolution.
What Happened: On Monday, while appearing in a segment of CNBC, Ives argued that the market is undervaluing Palantir&#8217;s potential, especially in the software sector.
He highlighted that the company&#8217;s enterprise solutions could generate billions in revenue, positioning Palantir as a future leader like Oracle (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>).&nbsp;
Despite the current market price hovering around $37, Ives remains optimistic about Palantir&#8217;s growth trajectory in the coming years.

He acknowledged the skepticism from bears but maintained that the company&#8217;s advancements in AI and software use cases are unparalleled.
"The haters will continue to hate," Ives said, adding, "They are still underestimating when it comes to the software, the use cases." He continued by saying that there's no product out there that matches what Palantir has done with AIP.

Palantir&#8217;s Advanced Intelligence Platform or AIP, introduced in April 2023, integrates advanced AI features like large language models into the company's Foundry and Gotham platforms. It aims to streamline decision-making in sectors such as defense and intelligence.
Why It Matters: The endorsement from Ives comes as Palantir experiences a remarkable ascent, with its stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42156160/palantir-price-target-raised-to-75-by-dan-ives-amid-288-ytd-surge-analyst-calls-2025-a-primetime-year-for-ai">surging 289.928% year-to-date</a>.
Ives has previously raised Palantir's price target to $75, highlighting 2025 as a pivotal year for AI implementation across the industry.
This optimism is shared with other software companies like Elastic NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESTC#NYSE">ESTC</a>) and Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>), which were also upgraded to Buy ratings.
Despite the bullish outlook, some analysts have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/11/42039361/palantir-soars-to-150b-market-cap-as-analysts-flag-risks-in-valuation-insider-sales">flagged risks in Palantir&#8217;s valuation</a>. Hedge fund titans like Renaissance Technologies and ARK Investment Management have trimmed their stakes, selling over 3 million shares in the third quarter, although they still hold significant positions.
Palantir&#8217;s third-quarter earnings report <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41730179/palantir-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-customers-up-39-raises-guidance-results-driven-by-unrele">showed a revenue beat</a>, with total revenue up 30% year-over-year, driven by &#8220;unrelenting AI demand.&#8221;
U.S. revenue grew 44% year-over-year, with commercial and government sectors showing significant growth, further supporting Ives&#8217; bullish stance.
Price Action: Palantir's stock finished Monday at $64.65, up 0.47% during regular trading. However, it dropped 1.24% in after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

What Happened: The leading cryptocurrency went downhill during U.S. trading hours, falling as low as $92,600, Overnight buying pushed the digital asset above $94,000.
Ethereum, on the other hand, rallied past $3,500 for the first time in four months. The rally triggered strong inflows into Ether spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) totaling $283,000, <a href="https://sosovalue.com/assets/etf/us-btc-spot">according </a>to SoSo Value. In comparison, Bitcoin ETFs bled more than $684 million.&nbsp;
Over $386 million in long positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours. Additionally, more than $832 million in short positions risk liquidation if Bitcoin's price rebounds to $98,000.
Interestingly, the number of traders placing bullish bets on Bitcoin increased sharply against those shorting the asset, as per the Long/Shorts Ratio on cryptocurrency exchange Binance. This suggested that traders were buying the dip.
The reading on the Cryptocurrency Fear and Greed Index fell from 82 to 79, though overall sentiment remained in the "Extreme Greed" region.

Analyst Notes: Widely-followed cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez noted the similarities between the ongoing bullish cycle and the ones in 2017 and 2020.
"If this pattern holds true, the first major price correction (15% to 30%) won&#8217;t come until Bitcoin hits $135,000 or even $159,000," the analyst predicted.

Nvidia&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42107846/nvidia-slides-during-thursday-pre-market-despite-beating-q3-estimates-even-outstanding-isnt-enough-for-some-investors">third-quarter earnings report</a> reinforced Cramer&#8217;s bullish stance, with the company reporting a staggering $35.1 billion in revenue — a 94% year-over-year increase. Data Center revenue alone reached $30.8 billion, highlighting the company&#8217;s critical role in AI infrastructure.
The company&#8217;s stock has surged more than 181% year-to-date, dramatically outperforming other &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; tech stocks like Apple Inc. (25.44%) and Microsoft Corp. (12.92%).
Cramer emphasized the compelling investment thesis behind Nvidia, quoting CEO Jensen Huang&#8216;s assertion that customers earn five dollars for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42151958/jim-cramer-doubles-down-on-nvidia-demand-is-accelerating-as-ai-customers-have-no-choice-but-to-buy-i">every dollar invested in Nvidia chips</a>. &#8220;That means they have no choice but to buy Nvidia&#8217;s chips,&#8221; Cramer said.

Cassava Sciences, Zoom, Kohl's, Rivian, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Popular video-sharing platform Rumble Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUM#NASDAQ">RUM</a>) became the latest Wall Street player to embrace the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) treasury strategy amid the apex cryptocurrency&#8217;s record-breaking run.
What Happened: According to an announcement made Monday, Rumble&#8217;s&nbsp;board approved&nbsp;a new strategy to allocate a portion of the company&#8217;s surplus&nbsp;cash reserves to Bitcoin. This&nbsp;move was part of Rumble&#8217;s strategic planning, aimed at supporting the company&#8217;s foray into the cryptocurrency market.
Rumble&#8217;s allocation strategy will include investments of up to $20 million, at the company&#8217;s discretion. At the prevailing market price, this would amount to a purchase of around 212 Bitcoins.
That said, the actual timing and value of the purchase would be decided by the management, contingent on factors such as general market conditions and the price of Bitcoin.

&#8220;We&nbsp;believe that the world is&nbsp;still in the early stages&nbsp;of the adoption of Bitcoin,&nbsp;which has recently accelerated with&nbsp;the election of a crypto-friendly&nbsp;U.S. presidential administration and increased&nbsp;institutional adoption,&#8221; Rumble CEO Chris Pavloski said. 
He called Bitcoin a &#8220;valuable inflation hedge&#8221; and an &#8220;excellent addition&#8221; to the company&#8217;s treasury.

MicroStrategy pioneered the now-popular strategy, adding as many as <a href="https://bitcointreasuries.net/">386,700 Bitcoins</a>, worth over $36 billion, to its books., according to Bitcointreasuries.net.
Several major Wall Street firms, including MARA Holdings Inc.
