Gene Munster, managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management, has said that Mark Zuckerberg&#8217;s leadership approach at Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) has changed since he started learning jiu-jitsu.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Munster pointed out that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42986509/meta-platforms-announces-performance-based-job-cuts-whats-going-on">Meta&#8217;s 5% workforce reduction</a> is a reflection of this strategic shift.
This follows previous reductions of 5% in 2024, 11% in 2023, and 13% in 2022. Despite these cuts, Zuckerberg plans to refill the positions, ensuring that severance costs do not impact Meta&#8217;s operating margin, he stated.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Why It Matters: At its core, Jiu Jitsu teaches principles of gentleness, mutual welfare, and maximum efficiency, according to Zenyo Jiu Jitsu, a website about the martial art. In 2023, Zuckerberg labeled the year as the company&#8217;s &#8220;year of efficiency&#8221; and announced plans to cut 10,000 jobs.
At the time, he said, &#8220;Change is never easy, but I know we'll get through this and come out an even stronger company that can build better products faster&nbsp;and enable you to do the best work of your careers.&#8221;
In a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/06/32807615/how-mark-zuckerberg-harnesses-jiu-jitsu-to-run-meta-better-your-ability-to-keep-doing-interesting-th">June 2023 interview</a> with Lex Fridman, Zuckerberg underscored the importance of embracing embarrassment as a catalyst for growth.
He explained that his commitment to Jiu-Jitsu embodied this philosophy, as the physically challenging discipline humbled him during his early stages, teaching him valuable lessons through moments of being "kicked" and feeling "stupid."
Meta&#8217;s workforce reductions are part of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42865109/sony-co-founder-akio-morita-once-said-that-management-should-treat-companies-like-families-not-commodities-recession-comes-management-fire-people-but-stays-to-keep-its-profit">broader trend in the tech</a> industry. In December 2024, Alphabet Inc.

Similarly, Elon Musk&#8217;s X, formerly Twitter, also reportedly faced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41698648/elon-musks-x-reportedly-hit-with-new-wave-of-layoffs-engineering-department-faces-major-cuts-amid-un">significant layoffs</a> in November 2024, particularly affecting the engineering department.
Meta is set to announce its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/42991174/meta-platforms-analyst-expects-strong-momentum-in-q4-to-continue-in-2025">fourth-quarter earnings</a> on Jan. 29.

California-based EV startup Rivian Automotive said on Tuesday that the company has deployed vehicles to support relief activities in the Los Angeles area <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42935570/newsom-la-wildfires-could-become-worst-natural-disaster-in-us-history">battling wildfires.</a>
What Happened: Rivian said that it deployed vehicles to support the World Central Kitchen, the Labelle Foundation, OpenClosit, SolarPunks, and more to transport relief supplies and support emergency response.
The company is also engaging with first responders on how it can assist further, the company said. 
To help its EV owners evacuate amid the fires, the company made no-cost DC fast charging available to Rivian vehicles at its own Rivian Adventure Network sites within 150 miles of Los Angeles. 
The company also offered its Rivian South Coast Theater in Laguna Beach as a place to rest or charge devices for people evacuating their homes.
Why It Matters: California has been battling multiple wildfires over the last few days. According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, the current incidents have burned over 40,000 acres with over 12,300 structures destroyed. About 24 people died in the fires, the department said. 
Other carmakers like Tesla and Ford also contributed to relief efforts. 
Earlier this week, Tesla CEO Elon Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/01/42939786/despite-elon-musks-feud-with-gavin-newsom-tesla-rolls-out-support-for-california-amid-wildfires-with-cybertrucks-starlink-and-megapack-chargers">warned customers</a> awaiting their Cybertruck deliveries in Los Angeles that their orders might be delayed as the company used the trucks to provide power to Starlink internet terminals in areas of LA that lost connectivity.

Dearborn-based Ford and its philanthropic arm called Ford Philanthropy, meanwhile, announced two new grants to support the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation and the California Community Foundation's Wildfire Recovery Fund and cater to urgent relief needs.

Rivian Joins Ford, Tesla In Supporting Relief Efforts Amid California Wildfires

JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) announced a significant leadership reorganization on Tuesday marking one of the most substantial executive reshuffles under CEO Jamie Dimon&#8216;s tenure, as President and COO Daniel Pinto prepares to step down after four decades with the firm.
What Happened: Jennifer Piepszak, previously Co-CEO of the Commercial &amp; Investment Bank, has been appointed Chief Operating Officer effective immediately. She will oversee technology, operations, corporate strategy, and diversity initiatives while managing the firm&#8217;s global corporate centers in India and the Philippines, which employ over 80,000 professionals.
In May, Dimon suggested he might retire within five years. Pinto, once a top contender to succeed him, briefly stepped in during Dimon&#8217;s illness in 2020. Dimon has praised <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/08/40443847/jamie-dimons-loyalty-play-jpmorgans-second-in-command-loses-grip-after-shakeup">Pinto as &#8220;extraordinarily smart&#8221; and a valuable partner</a>.
The reorganization comes as JPMorgan approaches its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/42984073/banks-kick-off-earnings-season-on-wednesday-retail-traders-bet-big-on-financials-ahead-of-regulatory-tailwinds">fourth-quarter earnings report</a>, with analysts projecting earnings of $4.11 per share on revenue of $41.7 billion. The bank&#8217;s stock has shown strong technical indicators, trading above key moving averages at $247.27, up 1.25% ahead of the announcement.
&#8220;Daniel has been an outstanding business leader, who has nurtured many of our top senior leaders and contributed to the success of businesses across the firm,&#8221; Dimon said of Pinto, who will transition to Vice Chairman by June before retiring at the end of 2026.

Why It Matters: In concurrent moves, Doug Petno, former Co-head of Global Banking, will succeed Piepszak as CIB Co-CEO alongside Troy Rohrbaugh. John Simmons will step up as Co-head of Global Banking with Filippo Gori, both reporting to Petno and Rohrbaugh.
The leadership changes come as JPMorgan maintains its position as the largest U.S. bank by assets, with $4.2 trillion in assets and $346 billion in stockholders&#8217; equity as of September. Marianne Lake and Mary Erdoes will continue leading Consumer and Community Banking and Asset &amp; Wealth Management, respectively.

The succession planning reflects Dimon&#8217;s focus on maintaining the bank&#8217;s market leadership amid evolving financial services landscapes.

Jamie Dimon Oversees Major Leadership Shake-Up At JPMorgan Chase As President Daniel Pinto Prepares To Step Down

A widely followed X personality on Monday drew attention to a potential surge in Dogecoin&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) price following the upcoming presidential inauguration.
What Happened: Cephii, a strong backer of the world&#8217;s largest meme coin, highlighted the historical pattern of Dogecoin&#8217;s spike post-presidential inauguration.
Cephil noted that the dog-themed cryptocurrency surged nearly 1100% a week after the inauguration of Joe Biden in 2021. 
It&#8217;s worth noting that while DOGE did rally after the swearing-in, the surge wasn&#8217;t this sudden. It took a month for the asset to gain nearly 500% since the inauguration.
The influencer further pointed out that the pattern post-election this time around is &#8220;nearly identical&#8221; to that of 2021, implying a repeat of the rally.

Another technical analyst, going by the pseudonym Chandler, reminded that DOGE hit a new all-time high eight days after the inauguration. To reproduce the feat, DOGE would need to double in value to $0.7316.

Prominent economist Mohamed El-Erian highlighted Bloomberg Opinion columnist John Authers&#8216; analysis showing how inflation could derail President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s economic agenda before it begins, as markets await crucial December Consumer Price Index data.
What Happened: El-Erian, Chief Economic Advisor at Allianz, shared Authers&#8217; <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2025-01-14/inflation-could-derail-trump-2-0-before-it-starts">opinion</a> piece on Tuesday revealing stark political divisions in inflation expectations. According to Authers&#8217; analysis of University of Michigan data, Democrats anticipate 4% inflation while Republicans project just 0.1% &#8211; a historically low level not seen in nearly 70 years without major oil price declines.
The December CPI report, due Wednesday, is expected to show headline inflation rising to 2.9% year-over-year from November&#8217;s 2.7%, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42988894/all-eyes-on-december-inflation-betting-odds-signal-risk-of-fed-struggling-to-tame">according to consensus estimates</a>. Core inflation, excluding food and energy, is forecast to hold steady at 3.3%.
Market indicators suggest persistent inflation pressures. Authers notes the 10-year breakeven rate, measuring market-based inflation expectations, has climbed to the top of its two-year range. The University of Michigan&#8217;s consumer survey showed five-year inflation expectations at 3.3%, the highest since 2008.

Why It Matters: &#8220;If inflation remains sticky, monetary policymakers will be responsible,&#8221; said Joe Lavorgna, former Trump administration economic advisor at SMBC Nikko, questioning the Federal Reserve&#8217;s recent rate cuts despite upward revisions to growth and inflation forecasts.
The inflation outlook complicates Trump&#8217;s proposed economic policies, including planned tariffs that could fuel price pressures. While <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/eurozone/25/01/42900748/us-dollar-drops-on-report-of-trump-tariff-plan-shift">reports show that the Trump team</a> is studying gradual tariff increases under emergency powers, any significant trade barriers could challenge efforts to contain inflation.
Fed funds futures currently show a 55% probability of rate cuts by June 2025, though persistent inflation could delay monetary easing into late 2025 or 2026, potentially constraining <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42988894/all-eyes-on-december-inflation-betting-odds-signal-risk-of-fed-struggling-to-tame">Trump&#8217;s growth initiatives</a>.

Trump 2.0 Could Be Thwarted By Inflation, Mohamed El-Erian Notes Ahead Of CPI Data Release

The blockchain-based company Ripple Labs announced a donation of $100,000 worth of XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) tokens on Tuesday to support the wildfire relief efforts in California.
What happened: The San Francisco-headquartered fintech firm said on X that the contributions will be facilitated through philanthropic organizations like The Giving Block, World Central Organization, and GiveDirectly.
Donations made through The Giving Block will be matched 1:1 by Jared Isaacman, founder and CEO of the non-profit's parent company, Shift4.

While donations will be accepted even after the $ 1 million mark, they won't be eligible for the match.

Why It Matters: Ripple&#8217;s efforts come at a time when the raging wildfires have caused tremendous damage to life and property.

Meanwhile, the XRP token rallied to a 7-year high on Tuesday, just 17% shy of its all-time highs. The upsurge was supported by strong demand from whales, who own 37% more XRPs than they did two months ago, according to on-chain analytics firm Santiment.

Ripple Labs Donates $100K In XRP For California Wildfires Relief, Says Contributions Will Be Doubled

On Tuesday, OpenAI announced the introduction of a beta feature named "Tasks" for ChatGPT.
What Happened: The move marks OpenAI&#8217;s entry into the virtual assistant market, positioning itself against established players like Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google Assistant, Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) Siri and Amazon.com Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Alexa.
The "Tasks" feature allows ChatGPT users to schedule future tasks, such as setting reminders for events or arranging regular updates like daily weather forecasts.

How To Use The &#8216;Tasks&#8217; Feature
Step I: Select &#8220;GPT-4o with scheduled tasks&#8221; from the model picker.
Step II: Once selected, provide ChatGPT with a message specifying the task and its timing.
Scheduled tasks can be managed directly within the chat or through the &#8220;Tasks&#8221; section in the profile menu. ChatGPT may also suggest tasks based on user interactions, giving users the option to accept or decline as needed.
While scheduling tasks is supported across all platforms using natural language prompts, managing tasks is currently limited to the task manager on the web version. Notifications for scheduled tasks will be delivered via web, desktop, and mobile once set up.
Availability: The Tasks beta is being rolled out globally over the next few days, exclusive to premium users—including Plus, Team, and Pro subscribers. The rollout begins with web access.

Why It Matters: The introduction of OpenAI&#8217;s &#8216;Tasks&#8217; feature comes at a time when major tech companies are intensifying their efforts in the AI-driven virtual assistant market.
For example, Apple also decided to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/11/42129847/apple-prepares-to-take-on-openais-chatgpt-google-gemini-live-with-llm-siri-in-2025-report">incorporate its &#8220;Apple Intelligence&#8221;</a> into Siri, leveraging ChatGPT&#8217;s capabilities.
Amazon also previously said that it is upgrading Alexa with generative AI capabilities to stay competitive. Last year, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy revealed plans for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42055771/amazons-ai-powered-alexa-upgrade-faces-latency-compatibility-concerns-report">new version of Alexa</a> that will autonomously perform tasks, expected to launch soon.
In 2023, Google Assistant, the personal assistant integrated into Android and iOS devices, was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/10/35094259/google-unveils-assistant-with-bard-powered-by-generative-ai-for-android-ios">boosted with the capabilities</a> of Bard, now called Gemini.

Siri, Alexa And Google Assistant May Become A Thing Of The Past Thanks To ChatGPT Tasks — Here's How To Use The New Feature

Bitwise&nbsp;Chief Investment Officer&nbsp;Matt Hougan argued on Tuesday that associating the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) Treasury reserve strategy solely with MicroStrategy Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) would be inaccurate, as companies buying the apex cryptocurrency is now a &#8220;bona fide megatrend.&#8221;
What Happened: In a research note, Hougan stated that while the Michael Saylor-led firm walked away with most media attention, as many as 70 publicly traded companies and many private firms had Bitcoin on their balance sheets.
&#8220;I've come away thinking that this is a&nbsp;much&nbsp;bigger trend than most people realize. In fact, I think it's a bona fide megatrend,&#8221; Hougan added.
The analyst underlined that apart from cryptocurrency-focused firms like Coinbase and MARA Holdings, many non-cryptocurrency companies like Elon Musk&#8217;s Tesla have stacked Bitcoin on their books.
<figure class="wp-block-table"> 
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Companies other than MicroStrategy</td>

<tr>
<td>MARA Holdings</td>
<td>$1.53 billion on Dec. 19, 2024</td>

<tr>
<td>KULR Technology Group</td>
<td>$21 million&nbsp;on Jan. 6</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Riot Platforms</td>
<td>$510 million on Dec. 13, 2024</td>

</tbody>
</table>
</figure>
According to <a href="https://bitcointreasuries.net/">BitcoinTreasuries.com</a>, MicroStrategy was the largest corporate holder with over $43 billion in Bitcoin, followed by MARA with $4.36 billion worth of the leading digital asset. Tesla held about $944 million in Bitcoin as of this writing.
Additionally, big private companies like SpaceX also boasted significant Bitcoin holdings, valued at over $800 million.
&#8220;That's significant. It means that, even today, MicroStrategy is less than 50% of the corporate BTC market. I suspect it'll be a small fraction of it eventually,&#8221; Hougan said.

The reputational risks linked with Bitcoin have considerably lessened in recent months, particularly after Donald Trump&#8217;s victory, with top Washington officials <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42962279/trump-could-sign-crypto-related-executive-orders-on-day-1-report">showing increased acceptance of cryptocurrency</a>, Hougan stated.
Moreover, the Financial Accounting Standards&nbsp;Board introduced a new rule in December, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42502213/new-crypto-accounting-standards-from-todaywill-it-boost-bitcoins-corporate-adoption">changing how Bitcoin&nbsp;is accounted for in GAAP&nbsp;reporting</a>.
Hougan said that these factors could eventually cause the number of firms buying Bitcoin to &#8220;explode&#8221; in the coming years.
Why It Matters: MicroStrategy has been aggressively issuing convertible debt and other fixed-income securities to buy Bitcoin in recent months and appears prepared to employ all corporate maneuvers at its disposal to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42665877/microstrategy-to-hold-special-shareholder-vote-to-support-the-42-billion-bitcoin-acquisition-strategy">bolster its 21/21 plan</a>.
However, the strategy was drawn a fair bit of criticism. 
Arthur Hayes, co-founder of cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX, expressed concerns over MicroStrategy's debt-powered Bitcoin buying strategy. In an interview with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42963353/michael-saylors-microstrategy-will-struggle-when-bitcoins-volatility-falls-says-arthur-hay">Benzinga</a>, Hayes predicted challenging times for the firm when the top cryptocurrency loses volatility.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $96,996.88, up 1.91% in the last 24 hours, according to&nbsp;<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>.
Shares of MicroStrategy rose 4.19% to 342.17 during Tuesday's regular session and were up 0,56% in pre-market trading.

Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy Not Alone In Bitcoin Acquisition, Says Bitwise Chief Investment Officer: 'It's A Bona Fide Megatrend'

South Korean markets showed resilience Wednesday as President Yoon Suk Yeol was taken into custody, with the benchmark KOSPI rising 0.40% to 2,507.35 amid heightened political uncertainty.
Yoon, 64, was detained at 10:33 a.m. local time by a joint probe team investigating allegations related to his December martial law declaration, marking an unprecedented arrest of a sitting South Korean president. 
The arrest came after an initial failed attempt on Jan. 3 that resulted in a standoff between investigators and presidential security, <a href="https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10390439">reported</a> The Korean Herald.
Despite the political upheaval, major South Korean stocks held steady. SK Hynix Inc. led the gains, climbing 2.31% to 1,99,800 South Korean won ($136.90). Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) rose 0.37% to 54,100 South Korean won ($37.06), while KB Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KB#NYSE">KB</a>) gained 0.90%, reaching 89,500 South Korean won ($61.31). Hyundai Motor (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYMTF#OTC">HYMTF</a>) saw a slight decline of 0.23%, trading at 2,21,500 South Korean won ($151.76). 
The iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWY#NYSE">EWY</a>), a key indicator for U.S. investors, gained 0.94% on Tuesday.
The Korean won remained stable against the U.S. dollar, trading at 1,460.52 South Korean won, down marginally by 0.063%. 
The arrest warrant for President Yoon, which expires Jan. 21, includes charges of power abuse and insurrection. The investigation is led by the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials.
