Analyst Notes: Blockchain analytics firm Santiment said Bitcoin's key stakeholders were "moving in the right direction" to justify the $100,000 target in the near future.
"Wallets with the highest correlation with crypto&#8217;s overall market health (10-10K BTC wallets) have accumulated a combined 81,338 more BTC (+0.61% of their holdings) during these past 6 weeks of volatility," the firm added.

Cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe noticed Bitcoin's "solid" chart and expected the apex cryptocurrency to go further north.
"I think we&#8217;ll continue the grind on Bitcoin upwards, the key factor here is whether Gold starts to correct after FOMC tomorrow, indicating that there&#8217;s the start of the business cycle," Van De Poppe stated.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Spike As Scott Bessent's Gears Up For Trade Talks With China: Key BTC Stakeholders 'Moving In The Right Direction' Towards $100,000 Target, Says Analytics Firm

On Tuesday, Cathie Wood&#8216;s Ark Invest made significant trades, notably selling shares of Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>). This move comes after Palantir&#8217;s stock faced pressure despite surpassing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45208000/palantir-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-in-line-customer-count-up-39-company-raises-guidance-citing-surging-and-ferocious-growth">first-quarter earnings</a> expectations.
The Palantir Trade saw Ark Invest&#8217;s ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>) sell 376,874 shares of the AI-focused company. The trade was valued at $41.03 million. On Tuesday, Palantir shares closed 12.05% lower at $108.86.
This decision followed Palantir&#8217;s recent earnings report, which, despite exceeding analyst predictions, led to a stock decline. The stock&#8217;s drop is attributed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45228456/whats-going-on-with-palantir-stock-tuesday">high investor expectations</a>. Palantir&#8217;s shares have surged 332% over the past year and 45% year-to-date, yet the post-earnings dip highlights market volatility.
Analysts remain divided on Palantir&#8217;s future. Some view it as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45232694/palantir-stock-shows-momentum-with-q1-results-ai-opportunity-analyst-says-generation-tech-name-worth-1-trillion-in-future">key player in the AI sector</a>, predicting a potential $1 trillion market cap within three years. However, others, like Jefferies&#8217; Brent Thill, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45213810/palantir-stock-drops-925-after-earnings-beat-dan-ives-stays-bullish-but-jefferies-brent-thill-says-institutions-still-arent-interested">express skepticism</a> about institutional interest, emphasizing its retail-driven nature.
Palantir remains Ark&#8217;s second-largest holding, accounting for approximately 8.14% of the firm&#8217;s portfolio by weight, with a total value of $421.65 million.

Cathie Wood Sells $41 Million Worth Of Palantir Shares Following Post-Earnings Plunge

On Tuesday, the Donald Trump administration announced that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45160145/china-says-door-is-open-for-talks-while-it-is-assessing-us-trade-proposal-but-warns-coercion-and-extortion-wont-work">meet with senior Chinese</a> officials this weekend in Geneva, Switzerland.&nbsp;
What Happened: The gathering marks the first major face-to-face discussions between the two countries since the trade conflict began, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-china-trade-switzerland-bessent-2a3335ed92989dc4b3a74ea550b79b3f?user_email=97d05b29432d778bbb1ffb8f16f2769451bf1d6125981f71ceccbe18ec8d01d8&amp;utm_medium=APNews_Alerts&amp;utm_source=Sailthru_AP&amp;utm_campaign=NewsAlert_May06_2025_06:55PM&amp;utm_term=AP%20News%20Alerts">reported</a> the Associated Press.
The Chinese Commerce Ministry confirmed that Vice Premier He Lifeng will represent Beijing during the talks.
The meetings are set to take place amid a backdrop of mounting tariffs, with the U.S. imposing duties of up to 145% on Chinese imports and China retaliating with tariffs of 125% on American goods.
In addition to their Chinese counterparts, Bessent and Greer are also scheduled to meet with Swiss President Karin Keller-Sutter, according to their offices, the report noted.

Why It&#8217;s Important: In a note published Monday, veteran Wall Street investor Ed Yardeni said he's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45192936/wall-street-veteran-investor-lowers-recession-risk-as-us-china-trade-war-cools">lowering his estimated probability</a> of a U.S. recession to 35%, down from 45% at the end of March.
The revised outlook, which returns to early March levels, signals increased optimism that tensions over tariffs between the U.S. and China may ease.
Last month, Morgan Stanley economists forecasted that the U.S. and China would initiate negotiations and steadily <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45065482/us-china-to-ease-tariffs-gradually-after-complex-talks-says-morgan-stanley-but-cuts-chinas-growth-outlook">reduce tariffs on Chinese imports</a> to 60% by the end of the second quarter. However, they do not anticipate a return to pre-Jan. 25 tariff levels.
The Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) has fallen 5.65% year-to-date, while the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) is down 4.42%, as uncertainty over the U.S.-China trade war weighs on investor sentiment.

EdgeRunner AI Raises $12M Series A With Support From HP, Madrona, And Alumni Ventures To Advance Air-Gapped AI For Defense

India has launched missile strikes into Pakistani-controlled territory. The strikes resulted in at least eight deaths, as confirmed by Pakistani security officials on Tuesday.
What Happened: India fired missiles into Pakistani-controlled territory, causing multiple casualties. The Indian government claimed that the strikes were aimed at militant infrastructure, <a href="https://apnews.com/live/india-pakistan-attack-pahalgam-kashmir">reported</a> AP News.
The missile strikes come in the wake of a deadly attack on tourists in the disputed Kashmir region last month, which led to a severe strain in India-Pakistan relations. India has accused Pakistan of supporting the massacre, which resulted in the death of 26 men, mostly Indian Hindus — an accusation Pakistan vehemently denies.
Pakistan&#8217;s military spokesperson confirmed that six locations were hit by the missile strikes, resulting in eight deaths and 38 injuries. The Indian Defense Ministry, on the other hand, stated that&nbsp;at least nine sites were&nbsp;targeted, all of which were allegedly planning terrorist attacks against India.
In retaliation to the strikes, Pakistan&#8217;s Prime Minister&nbsp;Shehbaz Sharif&nbsp;stated, &#8220;Pakistan&nbsp;has every right to give&nbsp;a robust response to this&nbsp;act of war imposed by&nbsp;India, and a strong response&nbsp;is indeed being given.&#8221; The Indian army reported&nbsp;that Pakistan fired artillery along&nbsp;the de facto border in&nbsp;Bhimber Gali in India-controlled Kashmir.
The U.S. secretary of state, Marco Rubio, expressed his hope for a swift end to the conflict and pledged to continue engaging with both Indian and Pakistani leadership towards a peaceful resolution.
President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the conflict "ends very quickly" and labeled it "a shame."

India Fires Missiles Into Pakistani Territory, Trump Hopes Fighting Between Nuclear Rivals 'Ends Very Quickly'

Some people surprise their spouses with flowers. Others go big with vacations or jewelry.
But when you're Mark Zuckerberg, you think bigger. Like, 7 feet tall and made of turquoise and silver bigger.
The Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO famously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/08/40411578/meta-ceo-mark-zuckerberg-commissions-statue-of-wife-priscilla-chan-sparks-online-buzz-bring">commissioned a towering sculpture of his wife</a>, Priscilla Chan, last August. At the time, the internet did what it does best—<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C-naZ9NvQNu/?igsh=MXZrcm9lZHVlNWhqNQ==">memed it into oblivion</a>. Avatar comparisons, jokes about what he must've done wrong, and memes telling women to "get a man who builds you a statue" filled social feeds.

In an interview last week on the "<a href="https://youtu.be/zbfOkhrgxH0?si=rE5daEOfvVQ55Lul">This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von" podcast</a>, Zuckerberg admitted, "I don't think she was that happy with it." He added, "She doesn't want a sculpture of her in the front lawn—that's weird."
Still, he noted, "She's a good sport about it."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Not Exactly a "Magical Date"</h2>
When Theo Von asked if Zuckerberg had ever taken his wife on a "magical" dream date that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45093311/not-everyone-needs-a-thousand-ai-engineers-but-for-those-who-do-zuckerberg-says-meta-will-gladly-build-it-for-a-price">most people could only imagine</a>, the billionaire shrugged off the idea.
"She's pretty simple on this stuff," he explained. "I think most of the—you know, I like doing, I like making things."
And "making things" is exactly what led to the statue.
"I've always admired Daniel Arsham," Zuckerberg said, referring to the well-known pop sculptor. "We worked with him to make this sculpture of Priscilla because I thought it was cool."
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
Why not a statue of himself? Zuckerberg was quick to shut that down.
"I'm not going to make a sculpture of myself. That's crazy, right? Like, who the [bleep] does that?"
So instead, Priscilla became the "target of my creative energy," he said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘This Is the Thing I Did Wrong'</h2>
The memes that followed the statue's unveiling didn't go unnoticed.
"There's all these memes online where people are like, ‘Wow, I wonder what Zuckerberg did wrong that he had to make a sculpture of his wife,'" he told Von. "And I'm like, no, you guys are totally missing this. This is the thing I did wrong."
Zuckerberg joked that if he ever did do something serious, people would have to wait and see what kind of over-the-top apology art he'd dream up next.
"She doesn't want a sculpture of her in the front lawn. It's like—that's weird," he repeated.
Still, he said Priscilla appreciated the effort. "I think she thinks it's sweet… There's a lot of more destructive things I could be doing with my creative energy."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">His Creativity Doesn't Stop at Statues</h2>
The statue wasn't Zuckerberg's only grand gesture. He also mentioned he once designed a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/45124694/mark-zuckerberg-says-his-wife-wanted-a-minivan-so-he-designed-a-porsche-hes-pretty-sure-should-exist-and-made-it-a-his-and-hers-set">custom Porsche minivan for Priscilla</a>.
"I like cars, but I'm not going to design a supercar for myself," he explained. "Let's design a sweet minivan for my wife."
According to Zuckerberg, "trying to be creative and show her some creativity" is his version of romance.
As for that massive sculpture? At least the DoorDash drivers know exactly where to leave the food.
"Just set it by the sculpture," Zuckerberg laughed.

The agreement entered into is between WeightWatchers and holders of approximately 72% of the outstanding principal amount of the Company's term loan facility, revolving credit facility, and 4.5% senior secured notes, who have committed their support for the Transaction. To effectuate the Transaction, WeightWatchers has voluntarily initiated "pre-packaged" chapter 11 cases in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Court"). The Company expects to move through this process swiftly, with the goal of emerging from the court-supervised reorganization process in approximately 45 days, if not sooner.

Before Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) became a $2 trillion tech giant, it was just an idea—and Jeff Bezos had something better than venture capital: his mom.
"I won the lottery with my mom. Thanks for literally everything," Bezos declared in a <a href="https://x.com/JeffBezos/status/863867801181855744?lang=en">heartfelt X post</a> on Mother's Day 2017.
Jacklyn Bezos had Jeff <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/QJS-m-LyXMw?si=zVVDU7AUZZwb-INZ">when she was only 17</a>, defying the odds from day one. Pressured to drop out of high school, she stayed the course, graduated, and supported herself and her infant son on just $190 a month working as a secretary.

At night, she attended school, showing up with two duffel bags—one packed with textbooks and the other with diapers, bottles, and toys to keep baby Jeff occupied.
After divorcing Jeff's biological father, Ted Jorgensen, she later married Miguel "Mike" Bezos, a Cuban immigrant who fled Castro's Cuba alone at age 16. Mike adopted Jeff and became the dad who raised him.
Jorgensen, a former circus unicyclist and bike shop owner, lost contact with Jeff shortly after the divorce. For decades, he didn't know what became of his son—until 2012, when a journalist tracked him down while researching Bezos' biography. "I wasn't a good father or a good husband," Jorgensen admitted at the time, expressing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42556247/jeff-bezos-biological-dad-didnt-know-he-was-a-billionaire-until-someone-said-your-son-is-one-of-the-most-successful-men-on-the-planet">regret that he never reconnected with Jeff</a> before his death in 2015.

In the early 1990s, Jeff Bezos was working on Wall Street when he became captivated by the rapid growth of internet usage. Recognizing the potential of e-commerce, he decided to leave his stable job and pursue his vision of an online bookstore. In 1994, he and his then-wife, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43916092/mackenzie-scott-gave-away-19-billion-of-her-38-billion-divorce-settlement-from-jeff-bezos-in-5-years-her-current-net-worth-may-shock-you">MacKenzie Scott</a>, drove across the country from New York to Seattle, drafting Amazon's business plan along the way.&nbsp;
That's when Jacklyn and Mike made a bold move. They didn't just give or loan him money. They invested $245,573—a significant piece of their life savings. Bezos later recalled in an <a href="https://achievement.org/achiever/jeffrey-p-bezos/">interview with the Academy of Achievement</a>, "The first initial start-up capital for Amazon.com came primarily from my parents, and they invested a large fraction of their life savings in what became Amazon.com."
Jeff even warned them upfront that there was a 70% chance they'd lose everything. Instead, their early equity stake—roughly 6% of the fledgling company—<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43666298/jeff-bezoss-mom-was-a-divorced-teen-who-couldnt-afford-a-phone-so-used-a-walkie-talkie-to-communicate-now-she-could-be-worth-76-billion">grew into billions</a>. Estimates from Bloomberg in 2018 placed the family's wealth from that <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-07-31/a-hidden-amazon-fortune-bezos-parents-could-be-worth-billions">bet at around $30 billion</a>.

In 2022, Bezos posted <a href="https://x.com/JeffBezos/status/1523330938742005760?lang=en">another tribute on X, writing</a>: "Mom, I have no idea how you did what you did. You kept us both safe inside your heart. Thank you for sharing your strength and for all the sacrifices you made. I love you."

They're parents who believe—even when the odds say otherwise.
