Market Signal Briefing

A recent report from BitcoinTreasuries.Net highlights significant challenges faced by Bitcoin-focused treasury companies since November. The findings revealed that the vast majority of these firms are now grappling with substantial unrealized losses, prompting many to sell off considerable amounts of their Bitcoin holdings.

Market Struggles Continue
In a sample analysis of 100 companies with reliable cost basis measurements, approximately 65% purchased Bitcoin at prices that now exceed the current market value, leaving a considerable number of these treasuries with substantial unrealized losses. 

Bitcoin’s market downturn in late November pushed spot prices down towards $90,000, leaving many buyers from 2025 at a financial disadvantage. 

Now, the market’s leading crypto has retraced below this key level on Thursday, even despite the Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cut announcement. Among the companies surveyed, about two-thirds are found to be sitting on unrealized losses based on current market values. 

But despite the volatility in pricing, some of the largest balance sheets continued to acquire Bitcoin. Notably, firms like Strategy (previously MicroStrategy) and Strive significantly contributed to net additions in November, with Strategy accounting for approximately 75% of all monthly purchases following their sell-offs.

Mining companies remain steadfast as a cornerstone of public market Bitcoin holdings. In November, they represented about 5% of new additions to the market and around 12% of the total balances held by public companies. 

Bitcoin Demand Remains Strong
Even as Bitcoin treasury stocks have shown softness compared to Bitcoin itself and broader equity benchmarks, many companies still pursued strategies to add BTC to their balance sheets while refining their capital-market approaches. 

BitcoinTreasury.Net’s analysis indicates that nearly 50 firms have managed to achieve gains of at least 10% over the last 6 to 12 months.

Over time, losses have begun to soften for some. Currently, around 140 companies have experienced declines of at least 10% over a 1 to 3 month period, while about 105 companies have seen similar declines year-to-date. 

However, not all corporate holders opted to weather the storm of price fluctuations. In November alone, at least five companies decided to sell Bitcoin, with Sequans leading the charge by offloading roughly one-third of its holdings.

Looking forward, the fourth quarter of 2025 is expected to close with about 40,000 BTC added to public company balance sheets. This figure is notably below the totals from each of the prior four quarters and aligns closely with the additions seen in the third quarter of 2024. 

The report concluded that despite a clear easing in the “summer buying frenzy,” demand for Bitcoin has not entirely diminished as public corporations are adapting to a more cautious and selective approach as they reassess their recent purchases.

At the time of writing, BTC traded at $89,920, down over 2% in the previous 24 hours. This places the cryptocurrency 27% behind its all-time high of $126,000 set in October of this year.

XRP price started a fresh decline below $2.080. The price is now struggling and faces resistance near the $2.040 resistance level.

XRP price started a fresh decline below the $2.050 zone.
The price is now trading below $2.050 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
There is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.040 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
The pair could continue to move down if it settles below $2.00.

XRP Price Struggles Near Resistance
XRP price attempted a recovery wave above $2.150 but failed to continue higher, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price started a fresh decline below $2.080 and $2.050.

There was a move below the $2.00 support level. A low was formed at $1.993, and the price recently started an upside correction. There was a move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.177 swing high to the $1.993 low.

However, the bears are active near $2.040 and $2.050. There is also a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.040 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The price is now trading below $2.050 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $2.040 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.080 level or the 50%  Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.177 swing high to the $1.993 low.

A close above $2.080 could send the price to $2.012. The next hurdle sits at $2.150. A clear move above the $2.150 resistance might send the price toward the $2.1850 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.220 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $2.250.

Another Decline?
If XRP fails to clear the $2.040 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.00 level. The next major support is near the $1.9880 level.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $1.9880 level, the price might continue to decline toward $1.920. The next major support sits near the $1.880 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $1.820.

Technical Indicators

Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is now losing pace in the bearish zone.

Shiba Inu has seen sell-offs in conjunctions with concerns about AI valuations.

Shiba Inu (SHIB +0.94%) has been heading lower in today's trading. As of 11 p.m. ET Thursday, the cryptocurrency's token price had fallen 4.1% from where it stood at 4 p.m. ET Wednesday.

Shiba Inu was on the rise Wednesday after the Federal Reserve announced that it was lowering the benchmark interest rate by another quarter-percentage point, but its token price got hit with pullbacks after a major artificial intelligence (AI) company published its latest quarterly results. As of this writing, Shiba Inu is now down 60% across this year's trading.

Shiba Inu investors got the rate cut they wanted yesterday
At its meeting yesterday, the Federal Reserve announced that its Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) had voted to lower interest rates by another quarter point. The cut marked the third this year and gave crypto investors the result they were anticipating.

In addition to the rate reduction, Fed chair Jerome Powell indicated that it was unlikely that rates would be raised next year -- and that it was likely that another cut was on the way in 2026. The news initially propelled gains for Shiba Inu and other cryptocurrencies, but the momentum reversed after Oracle published results for the second quarter of its current fiscal year -- which ended Nov. 30.

Why are Oracle's results driving sell-offs for Shiba Inu?
Oracle published its fiscal Q2 results after yesterday's market close, posting non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings per share of $2.26 on sales of $16.06 billion. Adjusted earnings came in $0.62 per share higher than anticipated, but revenue missed the market's target by $130 million.

Further complicating the picture, the company announced capital-expenditures guidance that was far higher than expected. With the sales shortfall and higher-than-expected capex guidance, investors became increasingly concerned about a valuation bubble for AI stocks. Valuations for cryptocurrencies and AI companies have frequently moved in tandem this year, and investors have been selling out of Shiba Inu today as part of broader risk-off momentum.

What to know: Hex Trust is launching wrapped XRP (wXRP) to enhance XRP's DeFi and cross-chain utility, with over $100 million in total value locked.The wXRP will be tradable on Ethereum and other chains, allowing exposure across DeFi applications without unregulated third-party bridges.Despite the launch, XRP's price remains range-bound, with significant supply resistance above $2.05 and demand support near $2.00.Hex Trust announced it will issue and custody wrapped XRP (wXRP), a 1:1-backed representation of native XRP designed to expand XRP’s DeFi and cross-chain utility beyond the XRP Ledger.

The wrapped asset will be tradable alongside RLUSD on Ethereum and additional supported chains, including Solana, Optimism, and HyperEVM.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

wXRP will launch with more than $100 million in total value locked, providing immediate liquidity and reducing early-stage friction.

Authorized merchants will be able to mint and redeem wXRP in a regulated, automated environment, with all underlying XRP held in segregated institutional custody.

That structure allows XRP exposure across DeFi applications such as swaps, liquidity provisioning, and collateral use without reliance on unregulated third-party bridges.

RippleX confirmed the initiative aligns with growing institutional demand to use XRP and RLUSD across the wider crypto ecosystem.

While structurally bullish for long-term utility, the announcement did not immediately translate into upside momentum, suggesting the market is still digesting broader positioning and macro flows.

Technical AnalysisXRP remains in a consolidation regime with market structure defined by defensive buying near the $2.00 psychological zone and consistent supply emerging above $2.05. The failure to extend beyond resistance despite supportive fundamentals points to active distribution rather than momentum accumulation.Repeated tests of the $2.00–$2.02 area continue to attract bids, indicating that longer-term holders are comfortable defending this zone. However, each rally attempt toward $2.04–$2.06 has been met with volume-backed selling, reinforcing the idea that large players are using strength to rebalance exposure.Short-term structure remains neutral-to-bearish while price trades below the $2.06–$2.08 supply band. A decisive close above that region would be required to shift bias toward trend continuation rather than range maintenance.Price Action SummaryXRP edged 0.56% higher to $2.0341 but underperformed the broader crypto market by approximately 1.17%. Trading volume rose 12.34% above weekly averages, highlighting institutional participation despite muted net price movement.The session low printed near $1.985 following a sharp sell wave accompanied by elevated volume, before buyers stepped in to reclaim $2.00. Price later stabilized between $2.02 and $2.04, with momentum fading into the close as resistance capped upside attempts.The combination of higher volume and limited follow-through reinforces the view that the session reflected repositioning rather than fresh directional conviction.What Traders Should KnowXRP remains range-bound, with $2.00–$1.985 acting as the key demand zone and $2.05–$2.06 defining near-term supply. Elevated volume without expansion suggests continued distribution into strength rather than accumulation.The Hex Trust wXRP launch materially strengthens XRP’s long-term DeFi and cross-chain narrative, but near-term price action is still dominated by technical structure and relative market rotation. Until XRP can reclaim and hold above $2.06, rallies are likely to face selling pressure.A breakdown below $1.985 would expose downside toward the mid-$1.90s, while a confirmed close above $2.06 could reopen upside toward $2.12–$2.18.For now, XRP remains a tactical range trade rather than a confirmed breakout candidate.More For You

Fortune reported that YouTube is allowing creators to be paid in PayPal's stablecoin, a potential boon for adoption due to the platform's size.

Video-sharing giant YouTube has reportedly enabled US-based creators to accept payouts in PayPal’s stablecoin, PYUSD. 

Fortune reported on Thursday that PayPal’s head of crypto, May Zabaneh, said the feature is live, but only for users in the US. The firm integrated the ability for recipients to accept payments in PYUSD earlier this year, with YouTube ultimately opting to open that choice up to its creators. 

“The beauty of what we’ve built is that YouTube doesn’t have to touch crypto and so we can help take away that complexity,” she said. 

PayPal has had a long-standing relationship with YouTube, allowing users to pay via its services for many years and utilizing it for creator AdSense payouts.

YouTube may be warming up to crypto, after its history of shadowbanning crypto content, as digital assets are making their way into the mainstream. The move could also be a potential boon for stablecoin adoption, given the size of YouTube’s platform.

The stablecoin market has exploded over the past year as mainstream businesses, institutions and governments have moved to integrate the assets with traditional finance. 

PSYUD was launched in mid-2023 and has a current market cap of $3.9 billion according to CoinGecko data. It has skyrocketed in market capitalization since the start of the year, increasing from around $500 million in January. 

PYUSD market cap. Source: CoinGecko A significant portion of PYUSD’s growth has occurred since the start of September, when its market cap was approximately $1 billion. During that month, PYUSD was integrated with Spark’s lending markets and Bitfinex’s Stable, an institutional-grade stablecoin blockchain.

Bitcoin’s largest non-exchange holders are de-risking. The 10,000 to 100,000 BTC cohort has sold or redistributed 36,500 BTC (approx. $3.4 billion) since December 1, according to Glassnode data.

The distribution coincides with Bitcoin’s struggle to break the $94,000 resistance level following Wednesday’s Federal Reserve rate cut. BTC traded at $92,250 (-0.2%) during the early Asian session Friday.

The Data Points
The Cohort: Entities holding 10k-100k BTC (often institutional custodians or early miners).
The Volume: ~$3.37 billion in selling pressure over 12 days.
The Trend: This marks a shift from accumulation to distribution for this specific class, contrasting with retail sentiment which remains elevated.
Liquidity DroughtMarket depth is thinning. Stablecoin liquidity, a proxy for buying power, has dropped significantly. Data cited by FX Leaders notes a 50% decline in stablecoin inflows since August, suggesting the current price levels lack the fresh capital support needed for a breakout above $100,000. Bitcoin is trading steadily near $92,000 as markets digest the Fed’s rate cut alongside its plan to inject liquidity by purchasing $40 billion in Treasury bills each month. While this liquidity boost will have a stronger long-term impact, near-term sentiment is also improving, supported by renewed institutional flows, noted Akshat Siddhant, Lead Quant Analyst, Mudrex.

Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs saw more than $610 million in inflows over the past two days, signalling growing confidence. For BTC to push toward the $100,000 mark, a daily close above $94,140 is key, with $90,000 acting as immediate support.

The Institutional TakeThis divergence is the signal to watch. While retail chases the “Fed pivot” narrative, the smart money (10k-100k BTC tier) is using the liquidity to exit. The $3.4B outflow from this cohort, combined with the 50% drop in stablecoin reserves, indicates the current range ($88k-$94k) is being used for distribution, not accumulation. Expect volatility to increase if BTC loses the $88,000 support handle.

Gold and silver surged after the Fed’s rate cut, soft labor data, a weaker dollar, and geopolitical tensions boosted safe-haven demand, reinforcing bullish technical momentum.

Gold (XAUUSD) prices surged after the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points. The market ignored Powell’s cautious tone about pausing further cuts. Traders instead focused on falling real yields and soft labor data. Spot gold broke above the $4,250 resistance and climbed to $4,275, signalling renewed demand for safe-haven assets.

On the other hand, silver (XAGUSD) continued to lead the rally in the precious metals sector. The price broke above the $62 resistance, opening the door for further upside. Meanwhile, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield dropped to 4.12%, helping sustain bullish momentum in both gold and silver.

The chart below shows weaker-than-expected jobless claims data, which added bullish momentum to gold and silver prices. Initial claims jumped to 236K, well above the previous week’s revised figure of 192K. This signaled a softening labor market and fueled expectations of further Fed easing. As a result, the U.S. dollar weakened, with the DXY falling to 98.19, providing additional support for precious metals.

Moreover, geopolitical tensions provided additional support. Ukraine submitted a revised peace plan through the U.S., but uncertainty remained high. This underpinned gold’s appeal as a hedge against inflation. Meanwhile, silver benefited from the risk-on sentiment and improving industrial demand outlook. Both metals now trade with strong bullish momentum and supportive macro conditions.

Gold Technical Analysis
The daily chart for spot gold shows a bullish structure forming from the support of an ascending broadening wedge pattern. The price is developing a move towards $4,380. If the price breaks above $4,380, it will likely trigger a stronger rally toward the $5,000 area. The RSI is also rising from the mid-level of 50, reinforcing the short-term bullish momentum.

The 4-hour chart shows that gold has formed a rounding bottom after consolidating below the $4,200 level. The price remains above the rising trendline, which signals short-term bullish price action.

Silver Technical Analysis
The daily chart for spot silver shows accelerated momentum following a breakout above the $55 region. This breakout occurred after the formation of a cup-and-handle pattern, indicating short-term bullish momentum. The price remains elevated above the 50-day and 200-day SMAs, indicating further upside potential in the near term.

The 4-hour chart for spot silver shows continued upside momentum after breaking above the $59 area. The earlier formation of a cup and handle pattern, followed by strong consolidation below $59, suggests that silver prices are likely to move higher in the short term.

US Dollar Technical Analysis
The daily chart for the U.S. Dollar Index shows that it is trading below the 50-day and 200-day SMAs, signalling a strong bearish trend. The failure to break above the 100.50 level indicates continued downside momentum. A drop below the 98 level could trigger further losses, potentially reaching 96.50. If the index breaks below 96.50, it may lead to a sharper decline toward the 90 area.

The 4-hour chart for the U.S. Dollar Index shows that the index has broken the neckline of the double‑top pattern near the 99 area, signalling further downside in the short term. A break below the 98 level would confirm additional weakness. A drop below 96.50 is required for the bearish momentum to accelerate.

Bottom Line
In conclusion, gold and silver remain firmly supported by a combination of macroeconomic and technical drivers. The Fed’s rate cut, softening labour data, declining real yields, and a weakening U.S. dollar have created a favourable environment for precious metals. Gold has broken key resistance at $4,250 and is targeting higher levels, while silver’s breakout above $62 reinforces its leadership in the rally.

Technical indicators align with bullish momentum, and geopolitical tensions continue to fuel safe-haven demand. As long as current trends persist, both metals appear well-positioned for further gains in the near term.

Partner Reed Kathrein Scrutinizing Allegedly Omitted Known Trends in Vendor Payments

, /PRNewswire/ -- National shareholder rights law firm Hagens Berman is issuing a reminder to investors in StubHub Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: STUB) ahead of the January 23, 2026, deadline of their opportunity to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the pending securities class action lawsuit.

The litigation centers on allegations that StubHub's highly anticipated September 2025 Initial Public Offering (IPO) was launched using Offering Documents that contained material misstatements and omissions. Specifically, the lawsuit alleges the company failed to disclose crucial "known trends, events, or uncertainties" that were already adversely impacting its Free Cash Flow (FCF)—a key liquidity metric touted to prospective investors.

"This litigation focuses alleged violations of the Securities Act of 1933, which requires transparency for newly public companies. The complaint alleges that the Registration Statement was materially flawed because it failed to disclose the known trends regarding vendor payments, causing the stock to collapse shortly after the IPO," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm's investigation in this matter. "We urge investors in StubHub who purchased or otherwise acquired company shares pursuant to the IPO to contact the firm now."

Legal Analysis: Alleged Undisclosed Vendor Payment Trends and IPO Disclosure Failures

The complaint focuses on the alleged misrepresentations and omissions within the core offering documents, which led to a substantial loss of market capitalization:

Securities Act of 1933 Liability: The lawsuit alleges the Registration Statement and Prospectus were materially flawed, making Defendants liable to investors who acquired shares pursuant to the IPO.
Concealment of Known Trends: The Offering Documents allegedly failed to disclose adverse changes in the timing of payments to vendors—an alleged known trend that directly impacted liquidity.
143% Liquidity Collapse: The alleged omitted truth led to Q3 2025 results revealing Free Cash Flow was negative $4.6 million, marking a stunning 143% decline from the prior year. This revelation corrected the market's perception of the company's operational financial health.
Investor Damages: This disclosure caused the stock to fall well below the IPO price resulting in compensable damages for investors who acquired shares traceable to the IPO.

Next Steps: Contact Partner Reed Kathrein Today

Hagens Berman has a proven track record, securing significant recoveries for investors.

Mr. Kathrein and the firm's investor fraud team are actively advising investors who purchased STUB shares pursuant and/or traceable to the IPO and suffered significant losses due to the alleged undisclosed financial trends.

The Lead Plaintiff Deadline is January 23, 2026.

This tech stock checks many of the important boxes that Buffett and his managers often look for.

After leading Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A +0.99%)(BRK.B +1.10%) for 60 years, Warren Buffett is stepping down as CEO at the end of this year at the age of 95. During that span, Berkshire Hathaway has become the poster child for conglomerate holding companies and has been a routine market-beating stock for its investors.

Leading up to Buffett's departure, Berkshire has been making moves, primarily on the selling side. Notably, it reduced its stake in Apple (AAPL 0.28%) and Bank of America (BAC +0.89%) quite significantly in the past couple of years.

As of the end of the third quarter, Berkshire Hathaway has reduced its Apple shares to just over 238 million, representing 21.4% of its stock portfolio. It has reduced its Bank of America shares to just over 568 million, making up 9.6% of its stock portfolio.

Image source: Alphabet.

Arguably more notable than Berkshire Hathaway's recent sales, though, is a recent investment made in Alphabet (GOOG 2.27%)(GOOGL 2.42%) because the company has historically steered clear of high-growth tech companies. Now, as Buffett nears the end of his time as CEO, the company owns around 17.8 million shares of the tech giant.

Why the reduction in Apple and Bank of America shares?
Berkshire Hathaway hasn't released an official "this is why we made these moves" statement, but there are two main reasons they make sense. In Apple's case, its valuation relative to projected earnings growth is starting to look a little disconnected.

Apple is trading at 33.6 times its projected earnings over the next 12 months, which is higher than the other "Magnificent Seven" stocks except Tesla and Nvidia. That's a high premium for a company whose earnings have been relatively modest in recent quarters.

In Bank of America's case, this was likely a time to take profits from a stock that Berkshire has made tens of billions of dollars from. Buffett's company began its significant stake in Bank of America in 2011, and since then, the stock is up markedly.

Selling those shares now is a chance to lock in huge profits at a favorable corporate tax rate, which is likely to be higher if (or rather when) it's adjusted. With the profits from both sales, Berkshire Hathaway has increased its large stake in U.S. Treasury bills, which now stands at over $320 billion.

Berkshire Hathaway's entrance into the AI world
Buffett has publicly said that he regrets not investing in Alphabet years ago after noticing that insurance company Geico (a Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary) was paying Alphabet $10 per click on its Google ads. But you know what they say: Better late than never.

Alphabet is one of the few tech companies in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio, but there's a case that it could be the most promising, especially as it solidifies its position as a key player in artificial intelligence (AI).

It has pioneered key AI research, is creating chips that should challenge Nvidia's current stronghold, owns a network of data centers, and has consumer-facing apps like its generative AI tool Gemini, which is receiving regular praise as a top-of-the-line option.

I don't think Berkshire Hathaway made this investment solely because of AI, but I imagine it helped seal the deal with the direction the technology is going.

When in doubt, follow the cash
Buffett and his managers have always been fans of cash-flow-heavy businesses, which isn't always the case with high-growth tech stocks. However, when it comes to Alphabet, it's most definitely the case. In the third quarter, it achieved its first-ever $100 billion quarter ($102.3 billion, to be precise) and generated nearly $24.5 billion in free cash flow.

Revenue is important, but free cash flow is more noteworthy in some cases because it's money Alphabet can use for things like expanding its business, making acquisitions, buying back shares, and paying dividends. It also helps that the company ended the third quarter with nearly $98.5 billion of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, giving it a lot of leeway to invest aggressively in its business.

Alphabet has a strong balance sheet, a competitive moat in Google Search, and recently began paying a dividend. Those are three boxes the company checks that could further explain why Berkshire Hathaway chose to make the move now.

Reddit, the popular community-focused forum, has launched a legal challenge against Australia's social media ban for teens under 16, arguing that the newly enacted law is ineffective and goes too far by restricting political discussion online.

In its application to Australia's High Court, the social news and aggregation platform said the law is "invalid on the basis of the implied freedom of political communication", saying that it burdens political communication.

Canberra's ban came into effect on Wednesday and targeted 10 major services, including Alphabet's YouTube, Meta's Instagram, ByteDance's TikTok, Reddit, Snapchat and Elon Musk's X. All targeted platforms had agreed to comply with the policy to varying degrees.

Australia's Prime Minister's office, Attorney-General's Department and other social media platforms did not immediately reply to requests for comment.

Under the law, the targeted platforms will have to take "reasonable steps" to prevent underage access, using age-verification methods such as inference from online activity, facial estimation via selfies, uploaded IDs, or linked bank details.

Reddit's application to the courts seeks to either declare the law invalid or exclude the platform from the provisions of the law.

In a statement to CNBC, Reddit said that while it agrees with the importance of protecting persons under 16, the law could isolate teens "from the ability to engage in age-appropriate community experiences (including political discussions)."

It also said in its application that the law "burdens political communication," saying "the political views of children inform the electoral choices of many current electors, including their parents and their teachers, as well as others interested in the views of those soon to reach the age of maturity."

The platform also argued that it should not be subject to the law, saying it operates more as a forum for adults facilitating "knowledge sharing" between users than as a traditional social network, saying that it does not import contact lists or address books.

"Reddit is significantly different from other sites that allow for users to become "friends" with one another, or to post photos about themselves, or to organise events," the platform said in its application.

Reddit further said in its court filing that most content on its platform is accessible without an account, and pointed out a person under the age of 16 "can be more easily protected from online harm if they have an account, being the very thing that is prohibited."

"That is because the account can be subject to settings that limit their access to particular kinds of content that may be harmful to them," it adds.

Despite its objections, Reddit said that the challenge was not an attempt to avoid complying with the law, nor was it an effort to retain young users for business reasons.

"There are more targeted, privacy-preserving measures to protect young people online without resorting to blanket bans," the platform said.

Forward-looking statements are included to provide information about the Company’s management’s (“Management’s”) current expectations and plans that allow investors and others to have a better understanding of the Company’s business plans and financial performance and condition.

Statements made in this news release that describe the Company’s or Management’s estimates, expectations, forecasts, objectives, predictions, projections of the future or strategies may be “forward-looking statements”, and can be identified by the use of the conditional or forward-looking terminology such as “aim”, “anticipate”, “assume”, “believe”, “can”, “contemplate”, “continue”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “forecast”, “future”, “guidance”, “guide”, “indication”, “intend”, “intention”, “likely”, “may”, “might”, “objective”, “opportunity”, “outlook”, “plan”, “potential”, “should”, “strategy”, “target”, “will” or “would” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon.

Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information are made based upon certain assumptions and other important factors that, if untrue, could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such statements or information. There can be no assurance that such statements or information will prove to be accurate. Such statements and information are based on numerous assumptions, including: the ability to execute the Company’s plans relating to the Kiniero Gold Project as set out in the feasibility study with respect thereto, as the same may be updated, the whole in accordance with the revised timeline previously disclosed by the Company; the Company’s ability to complete its planned exploration and development programs; the absence of adverse conditions at the Kiniero Gold Project; the absence of unforeseen operational delays; the absence of material delays in obtaining necessary permits; the price of gold remaining at levels that render the Kiniero Gold Project profitable; the Company’s ability to continue raising necessary capital to finance its operations; the ability of the Company to realize on the mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates; assumptions regarding present and future business strategies, local and global geopolitical and economic conditions and the environment in which the Company operates and will operate in the future; the Company’s ability to complete the listing of its common shares on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”), and the anticipated timing of such listing; satisfaction of the conditions precedent under the Facility Agreement; the Borrower’s access to the facility made available under the Facility Agreement; and the utilization of any amount received by the Borrower under the Facility Agreement for the purposes identified by the Company.

Certain important factors could cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements including, but not limited to: the risk that the Borrower is unable to fulfil the conditions precedent to drawdowns under the Facility Agreement, and is therefore not able to borrow some or all of the principal amount otherwise available under the Facility Agreement; the risk that the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow or complete subsequent debt or equity financings to allow it to repay amounts borrowed under the Facility Agreement; the risk that the obligors under the Facility Agreement are unable to comply with the financial and other covenants under the Facility Agreement, giving rise to an event of default; geopolitical risks and security challenges associated with its operations in West Africa, including the Company’s inability to assert its rights and the possibility of civil unrest and civil disobedience; fluctuations in the price of gold; uncertainties as to the Company’s estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development; the replacement of the Company’s depleted mineral reserves; the Company’s limited number of projects; the risk that the Kiniero Gold Project will never reach the production stage (including due to a lack of financing); the Company’s capital requirements and access to funding; changes in legislation, regulations and accounting standards to which the Company is subject, including environmental, health and safety standards, and the impact of such legislation, regulations and standards on the Company’s activities; equity interests and royalty payments payable to third parties; price volatility and availability of commodities; instability in the global financial system; uncertainty surrounding the imposition of tariffs by one country, including, but not limited to, the United States, on goods or services being imported into that country from another country and the ultimate effect of such tariffs on the Company’s supply chains; the effects of high inflation, such as higher commodity prices; fluctuations in currency exchange rates, particularly as between the Canadian dollar, in which the Company presently raises its equity financings, and the US dollar; the risk of any pending or future litigation against the Company; limitations on transactions between the Company and its foreign subsidiaries; volatility in the market price of the Common Shares; tax risks, including changes in taxation laws or assessments on the Company; the Company obtaining and maintaining titles to property as well as the permits and licenses required for the Company’s ongoing operations; changes in project parameters and/or economic assessments as plans continue to be refined; the risk that actual costs may exceed estimated costs; geological, mining and exploration technical problems; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing; the effects of public health crises on the Company’s activities; the Company’s relations with its employees and other stakeholders, including local governments and communities in the countries in which it operates; the risk of any violations of applicable anticorruption laws, export control regulations, economic sanction programs and related laws by the Company or its agents; the risk that the Company encounters conflicts with small-scale miners; competition with other mining companies; the Company’s dependence on third-party contractors; the Company’s reliance on key executives and highly skilled personnel; the Company’s access to adequate infrastructure; the risks associated with the Company’s potential liabilities regarding its tailings storage facilities; supply chain disruptions; hazards and risks normally associated with mineral exploration and gold mining development and production operations; problems related to weather and climate; the risk of information technology system failures and cybersecurity threats; the risk that the Company is not able to complete the listing of its common shares on the ASX within the anticipated timeframe or at all; the risk that the Borrower is not able to access the proceeds of the Debt Facility or use any amount received under the Facility Agreement for the purposes identified by the Company; and the risk that the Company may not be able to insure against all the potential risks associated with its operations.

Although the Company believes its expectations are based upon reasonable assumptions and has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. These factors are not intended to represent a complete and exhaustive list of the factors that could affect the Company; however, they should be considered carefully. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information.

The Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking information if circumstances or Management’s estimates, assumptions or opinions should change, except as required by applicable law. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information.

The forward-looking information contained herein is presented for the purpose of assisting investors in understanding the Company’s expected financial and operational performance and results as at and for the periods ended on the dates presented in the Company’s plans and objectives, and may not be appropriate for other purposes.

Some of the best growth stocks started out as penny stocks, and digging for small-cap companies can lead to significant gains. If you only want to spend $3 on a promising stock, Hive Digital Technologies (HIVE +2.52%) should be on your radar.

It's a crypto miner that has recently pivoted to AI infrastructure. Investors who feel like they missed out on IREN (IREN +0.05%) and Cipher Mining (CIFR +2.17%) can get a ground-floor entry with this stock.

Hive Digital Technologies is expanding its mining capacity

Hive Digital Technologies achieved an average mining capacity of 5.7 exhash per second (EH/s) in January. The company built up its mining operations and reached an average 23.5 EH/s. This figure has some peaks and dips, and the company's peak November production was 25.4 EH/s.

The rising EH/s allowed Hive Digital Technologies to almost triple its Bitcoin production year-over-year to 290 Bitcoins in November. Hive Digital Technologies is producing far more Bitcoin and is well-positioned for a crypto rally. Hive Digital Technologies should continue to expand its EH/s in 2026.

AI compute demand is surging
Hive Digital Technologies is more of a crypto stock right now, with crypto making up more than 90% of revenue. That segment also quadrupled year-over-year in Q3.

However, the crypto miner's pivot to AI is gaining momentum. Its high performance computing segment focuses on this technology, and that part of the business saw its revenue jump by 175% year-over-year in Q3.

Hive Digital Technologies has Bell Canada Enterprises (BCE +0.91%) as an AI infrastructure client. The company's executives are focused on AI in 2026 and have a pristine balance sheet to make additional investments. Hive Digital Technologies has $136.7 million in total current assets and only $53.6 million in total current liabilities.

Nvidia stock has climbed more than 900% in just a few years.

Nvidia (NVDA 1.55%) caught investors' attention a few years ago as it emerged as a key player in artificial intelligence (AI), a technology with game-changing potential. Many invested early in this stock, betting the company's top AI chips would deliver explosive revenue growth -- and that bet was a winning one.

This tech giant's earnings have soared, reaching record levels, and the stock price advanced too -- more than 900% over three years. This is because cloud service providers and other companies have rushed to get in on the graphics processing units (GPUs) that power the most essential of AI tasks.

Now, though, after Nvidia's massive earnings and share price gains, you may be wondering whether the company's best days are in the past. After all, competition has increased, and the AI story is advancing into its next stages. Still, the signs we're seeing suggest a lot more growth ahead for this AI superstar. In fact, Nvidia might even be the most compelling AI stock for the next decade. Here's why.

Image source: Getty Images.

The most important AI player
Before we get to that, let's catch up on the story so far. As mentioned, Nvidia has been the most important player in the AI story, and this is thanks to a few factors. Clearly, one of them is the company's solid technology, as it's designed the most powerful GPUs and maintained this quality over several years. Another important point is that Nvidia decided to get in on this market early, giving itself a head start. This continues to benefit the company today -- since it constantly innovates, others find it difficult to leap ahead.

Finally, Nvidia hasn't stopped with the GPU, but instead has built out an entire ecosystem of products and services, and has even developed platforms to suit specific industries such as healthcare and automotive.

These elements and others have helped Nvidia reach the top -- and hold onto that position. Now, let's consider why Nvidia may also be the key AI stock to own for the next decade. And it starts with a prediction that Nvidia chief Jensen Huang made a couple of months ago and continues with a recent deal the company announced.

As much as $4 trillion in spending
Huang said that AI infrastructure spending may reach as much as $4 trillion over the coming five years. This is spending by cloud service providers and others that are building out data centers -- and the key elements needed in such centers are high-powered GPUs. Since these customers aim to win in the AI market, it's likely that they'll want to fill their data centers with the best GPUs around, and that may translate into significant sales for Nvidia. So, Nvidia is well-positioned to benefit from this infrastructure spending phase.

And once the buildout has reached later stages, Nvidia will continue to benefit because its chips aren't just used to train models -- they also are needed on an ongoing basis to power models through their problem-solving jobs.

Nvidia and Nokia
On top of this, a recent deal Nvidia announced should further expand its reach -- and revenue potential. The company has partnered with Nokia to bring AI to next-generation mobile networks. So, Nvidia, thanks to its accelerated computing platform for telecom, is on track to become a central player in telecom infrastructure -- potentially revolutionizing the market -- in the years to come.

Though, as I mentioned earlier, rivals exist, Nvidia may stay ahead due to its focus on innovation and the fact that it's been expanding the use of its technology into as many areas as possible. Of course, rivals may gain some market share, but their gains don't necessarily equal a loss for Nvidia. There is enough demand in the AI market -- and potential for new ways to use Nvidia's technology, as we see in the telecom example -- to power Nvidia's revenue strength well into the future.

And that's why Nvidia, even after its explosive growth in recent years, still might be the most compelling AI stock for the next decade.

Investors should ignore the hype and pay close attention to the numbers.

Amazon (AMZN 0.67%) has driven massive returns for investors over the years. Its efforts to pioneer e-commerce and cloud computing have made it one of the most essential companies in both retail and tech.

Amid its gains, it may surprise investors that the stock's performance has been flat over the last year. The company has also reached a market cap of $2.4 trillion, so the fast growth does not come as easily as it did in the past. Does that mean that Amazon is going to struggle over the next year, or is this likely a temporary pause as its resumes its growth?

Image source: Amazon.

Amazon's surprising struggles
Amazon, like other retailers, deals with numerous competitive threats in retail. Although operating in a competitive environment is nothing new, Amazon seems to be facing a perfect storm of challenges with a consumer base that has become tapped out at the same time the e-commerce market is maturing and becoming increasingly competitive.

Worse, consumer challenges could affect Amazon's other e-commerce-related businesses. The company's massive base of third-party merchants could struggle with sales, while the growing popularity of artificial intelligence (AI) queries could lead more consumers to bypass its lucrative advertising platform.

On the tech side of the business, hyperscalers like Amazon are spending tens of billions of dollars this year alone to stay competitive. Amazon is no exception, and over the trailing 12 months, it spent more than $120 billion on capital expenditures (capex). This is far above the $70 billion spent in the previous 12-month period, a level that could spook investors despite Amazon's tremendous resources.

Reasons for optimism
However, even with concerns about Amazon's business and the overall economy, the numbers suggest Amazon is handling such concerns well.

Over the last year, revenue from online sales grew by 10%. Although this is a low-margin and possibly a money-losing business, it bolsters other enterprises that are not struggling as much as the economic data might suggest.

Revenue from third-party seller services is up 12% yearly, suggesting that Amazon's sellers continue to sell successfully on the platform. Additionally, digital advertising has risen 24% over the same period, implying that AI queries have not affected its business as much as some might fear.

Furthermore, even though the $120 billion spent on capex is a staggering sum, Amazon can likely afford it. As of the end of the third quarter of 2025, it held $94 billion in liquidity.

It also generated $15 billion in free cash flow over the trailing 12 months. That is down from $48 billion in the same year-ago period. Still, investors should remember that free cash flow subtracts capex spending, so to have positive free cash flow amid that burden speaks to the resilience of Amazon's operations.

Finally, even with the stock's struggles, Amazon stock now stands out for what is arguably a low valuation. Amazon has routinely traded above 50 times earnings over the last few years. Nonetheless, profits have risen even as the stock remained flat.

(

-0.67

%) $

230.23

Consequently, its P/E ratio has fallen to just 32, a level closely approximating the S&P 500 average earnings multiple of 31. Assuming Amazon's sales growth continues, such a valuation could spark a rally that sends Amazon stock higher over the next year.

Amazon in one year
Given the current state of Amazon, the stock is likely to return to growth over the next year.

Investors are probably right to have concerns about its large, maturing business and how struggles in the economy could affect Amazon.

Fortunately, the revenue numbers show that its retail-related businesses, including advertising, remain in growth mode. Moreover, Amazon can probably afford the heavy capex spending needed to stay competitive in AI, and these efforts should make it a strong cloud and AI competitor in the future.

Finally, the stock's average valuation positions it to resume growth with the right challenges. Hence, as consumers see Amazon's resilience in the face of economic challenges and heavy AI spending, investors are likely to bid the stock higher over the next 12 months.

Its main in-house asset is lasme-cel for r/r B-ALL and eti-cel for r/r B-cell NHL.Early data show that lasme-cel reached impressive ORRs in Phase 1, and CLLS should give us a pivotal Phase 2 readout expected in 2026.CLLS also has partnerships with big pharma companies like Allogene, Servier, Iovance, and AstraZeneca that should provide added optionality.CLLS’s valuation multiples also seem relatively cheap versus its peers, while having a manageable runway.In my view, CLLS is a great speculative “Buy” based on its clinical potential with lasme-cel, cheap valuation, and R&D partnerships.humonia/iStock via Getty Images

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP reminds investors of the upcoming January 12, 2026 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of Primo Brands Corporation (“Primo Brands” or the “Company”) (NYSE: PRMB) investors who purchased or otherwise acquired: (1) Primo Water Corporation (“Primo Water”) common stock between June 17, 2024 and November 8, 2024, inclusive; and/or (2) Primo Brands common stock between November 11, 2024 and November 6, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

IF YOU SUFFERED A LOSS ON YOUR PRIMO BRANDS INVESTMENTS, CLICK HERE TO INQUIRE ABOUT POTENTIALLY PURSUING CLAIMS TO RECOVER YOUR LOSS UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS.  What Happened?
On November 8, 2024, Primo Water completed a merger with an affiliate of BlueTriton Brands, Inc. (“BlueTriton Brands”) with the combined entity operating as Primo Brands.

On August 7, 2025, Primo Brands released its second quarter 2025 financial results and disclosed on the corresponding earnings call that “[t]he speed by which [the Company] closed facilities and reduced headcount led to disruptions in product supply, delivery, and service.”

On this news, Primo Brands’ stock price fell $2.41, or 9.1%, to close at $24.00 per share on August 7, 2025, thereby injuring investors.

Then, on November 6, 2025, Primo Brands disclosed that it was replacing its CEO and that it was lowering its full year 2025 net sales and adjusted EBITDA guidance, admitting that the Company “probably moved too far too fast on some of the various integration work streams” and that “[t]here’s no doubt that speed impacted [the Company’s] ability to get through a lot of the warehouse closures and route realignment without disruption.”

On this news, Primo Brands’ stock price fell $8.20, or 36.2%, over two consecutive trading days to close at $14.46 per share on November 7, 2025, thereby injuring investors further.

What Is The Lawsuit About?
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the merger integration between Primo Water and BlueTriton Brands was tracking poorly due to, among other things, technology and service issues; (2) the Company was having major supply disruptions which would negatively impact customers and thus the Company’s financial results; and (3) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Primo Brands common stock during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than January 12, 2026 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.

SoundHound AI stock is up 864% in three years. Here's why the growth story may just be getting started.

The voice interpretation market looks crowded at first glance.

From Siri to Google Assistant (née Gemini) to Dragon Naturally Speaking, many systems can help you transcribe spoken words into machine-readable text. That's Apple, Alphabet, and Microsoft -- three of the "Magnificent Seven" tech giants -- hovering around the digital voice interaction space. And that's far from a complete list.

"Wanna hear a secret? It's not too late to invest in SoundHound AI." Image source: Getty Images.

But SoundHound AI (SOUN 1.47%) goes one step further. Its Houndify voice controls platform doesn't just transcribe your words into machine-readable text. It relies on approximately two decades of artificial intelligence (AI) research to determine what you actually meant to say amid noisy environments, my Swedish accent, and other imperfections.

SoundHound AI's focus on meaning over plain old transcription is the key quality that sets it apart from its deep-pocketed rivals. As I'm writing this on Dec. 10, 2025, the stock has gained a hair-raising 864% in three years, and I would argue that the growth story is just getting started.

90% accuracy in the real world
SoundHound achieves 90% task completion rates in drive-thru window tests, versus 30% to 40% for pure large language model (LLM) approaches. That's why household-name customers like Chipotle Mexican Grill, Five Guys, and Stellantis (think Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, etc.) trust it in real-world environments -- noisy drive-thrus, highway speeds -- where transcription-first competitors stumble.

The company had a long-term contract backlog of $1.2 billion at the end of 2024, with an average deal term of roughly seven years. I look forward to an update on that figure in February's fourth-quarter report, along with updates on how SoundHound AI is converting the theoretical order book into cash revenue.

It's not too late to get in early on this fantastic long-term growth story, because other tools can't match SoundHound AI's real-time understanding of the speaker's intentions.
