Analyst Notes: Blockchain analytics firm CryptoQuant highlighted the new all-time high in Bitcoin's realized capitalization, at over $880 billion.
"Historically, large accumulations of realized capitalization have been mostly followed by considerable price increases in Bitcoin," CryptoQuant stated. It added that the price could see an "explosion" if the accumulations continue.
Realized capitalization measures the total acquisition cost of all coins in circulation, as opposed to the market capitalization, which uses the current price.

Cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ali Martinez identified $95,870 as a significant level for Bitcoin, with a breach potentially sparking a run to new all-time highs.
"If Bitcoin breaks and holds above $95,870, the next key target, based on the MVRV Pricing Bands, is $114,230," Martinez projected.
MVRV, a shorthand for Market Value to Realized Value, is a ratio used to assess the value of a cryptocurrency by comparing its current market value to its realized value.

Bitcoin, Ethereum Muted, Dogecoin Dips After Q1 GDP Contraction: Analyst Foresees BTC's Rally To $114,000 If It Breaks This Ceiling

Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) board reportedly began searching for a successor to Elon Musk after the company faced significant financial setbacks.&nbsp;
What Happened: About a month ago, the board reached out to executive search firms to formalize a process for selecting a new CEO, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/tesla-musk-ceo-search-board-0ce61af9?mod=e2tw">reported</a> the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the discussion.
Musk, who has led Tesla for nearly two decades, was reportedly spending considerable time in Washington, D.C., assisting with the Department of Government Efficiency under President Donald Trump.
Musk did not push back, the report said, and the board told him he needed to devote more time to Tesla and publicly commit to doing so.
Tesla did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Tesla reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44937440/tesla-q1-misses-estimates-as-tariff-pressures-weigh-on-outlook-lower-cost-evs-still-on-track">first-quarter revenue</a> of $19.34 billion, marking a 9% decline compared to the previous year. This figure fell short of the Street&#8217;s consensus estimate of $21.35 billion.
During the earnings call, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44945402/wedbushs-dan-ives-raises-teslas-price-target-to-350-as-musk-promises-to-significantly-reduce-doge-time">Musk announced</a>, "Starting probably next month, in May, my time allocation to DOGE will drop significantly."
On Wednesday, Alexandra Merz, who is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37474203/elon-musk-thanks-tesla-shareholders-after-they-write-to-delaware-court-against-voiding-his-56b-pay-p">one of Tesla&#8217;s shareholders</a>, took to X, formerly Twitter, and said, Tesla filed an amendment to its annual 10-K, providing details about board and executive compensation, rather than the anticipated proxy statement with shareholder meeting dates and agendas.
This suggests a potential delay in the meeting.

In the filing, Tesla stated, &#8220;The Board of Directors has not yet established the date of the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders. When the date is established, the Company will announce it in its filings made with the SEC.&#8221;
Price Action: During Wednesday's regular session, Tesla shares fell by 3.38%, but showed a slight rebound in after-hours trading, rising by 0.13%. Year-to-date, the stock is still down 25.61%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Tesla Board Explored Replacing Elon Musk As Tesla CEO A Month Ago: Report

Following a U.S. court ruling that found Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) violated the spirit of an injunction against <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/08/40423388/epic-games-mobile-store-goes-live-in-europe-ceo-says-apple-had-to-be-challenged">anti-steering practices</a>, Epic Games, backed by Tencent Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>), has offered to bring Fortnite back to the App Store if the tech giant fulfills this one condition.
What Happened: On Wednesday, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ordered Apple to cease collecting commissions on purchases made outside its App Store and to stop blocking developers from linking to alternative payment methods, <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/25/05/01/fortnite-could-return-to-apple-app-store-if-apple-accepts-epic-peace-proposal">reported</a> AppleInsider.
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney extended a striking offer to Apple via X after the court decision.

Why It's Important: To meet Epic's conditions, Apple would need to stop earning revenue from any purchases made outside the App Store worldwide and lift its restrictions on external payment links, the report said.
Doing so could lead to a noticeable reduction in Apple's lucrative commission income. Fortnite would be free to download, and Apple would receive no revenue from it beyond the standard $100 annual developer fee.
On Thursday, Apple could post <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45117801/apple-q2-earnings-preview-analysts-remain-bullish-with-caution-of-tariff-tornado-hitting-iphone">stronger-than-expected results</a> for its iPhone business and performance in China when it releases its second-quarter earnings. Wall Street expects the tech giant to report $94.42 billion in revenue for the quarter, up from $90.75 billion during the same period last year.
Price Action: Apple shares have fallen 12.86% year-to-date in 2025 but are still up 24.76% over the past 12 months. On Wednesday, the stock rose 0.61% during regular trading but slipped 1.65% after hours, closing at $209, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
In Benzinga Edge's Stock Rankings, Apple earns a growth score of 44.64% and a momentum score of 74.99%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it compares to other top tech stocks</a>.

Apple Ordered To Ease App Store Rules In US — Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney Proposes Peace Deal, Saying 'We'll Return Fortnite' And Drop All Litigation Only If...

Peter Lynch, former manager of the Fidelity Magellan Fund and one of the most respected investors of the 20th century, once confessed that his greatest investing error was selling successful stocks too early.&nbsp;
What Happened: An X user shared an extract from the 2017 Forbes India Collectors Edition, in which Lynch described a surprising phone call he received decades earlier.
"My daughter picks up the phone and says, ‘It's Mr. Buffett on the line,'" Lynch wrote. "And I pick up the phone and I hear, ‘This is Warren Buffett from Omaha, Nebraska.'"
Lynch said Warren Buffett was calling to ask permission to quote a line from his book "One Up On Wall Street" in his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42666459/warren-buffett-once-called-berkshire-the-opposite-of-those-who-hurry-to-sell-now-hes-offloading-apple-and-snapping-up-occidental-petroleum-amid-a-20-drop">year-end shareholder letter</a>.

The quote Buffett wanted? "Selling your winners and holding your losers is like cutting the flowers and watering the weeds."
"That one line he picked up in my whole book has been the greatest mistake," Lynch admitted.

Why It's Important: According to Celebrity Net <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-businessmen/wall-street/peter-lynch-net-worth/">Worth</a>, Lynch currently has a net worth of around $450 million. Buffett, on the other hand, is ranked fourth on Bloomberg's Billionaire <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">Index</a> with a net worth of $167 billion.
Lynch isn't the only prominent figure to reflect on missed gains from selling too early. Several high-profile investors and tech leaders have voiced similar regrets.
Bill Gates once called Microsoft Corporation's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) decision to sell its early stake in Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) "foolish."&nbsp;
In 1997, Microsoft invested $150 million in the struggling rival, acquiring roughly 5% of the company. By 2003, it had exited the position for around $550 million—a sizable return at the time, but a fraction of what that stake would be worth today.
Masayoshi Son, founder of SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTCL: SFTBY), also admitted to a major misstep in unloading shares of chipmaker Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>). Son sold SoftBank's stake after a modest gain, missing out on the stock's meteoric rise in the AI boom.
Even in the crypto world, David Schwartz, chief technology officer at Ripple, revealed he sold 40,000 Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) at just $1.05 each, netting around $40,000 to buy solar panels. At today's prices, that decision cost him millions.
Schwartz has since called the move one of his biggest financial regrets.

Peter Lynch Once Revealed Existence Of A One Liner So Loved By Warren Buffett That The Oracle Of Omaha Called Him To Borrow It: 'The One Line He Picked…Has Been The Greatest Mistake'

The United States and Ukraine have entered into an agreement to jointly invest in Ukraine&#8217;s mineral resources, oil, and gas sectors. This move reportedly fulfills a key request from the White House and provides crucial support to Ukraine.
What Happened: The newly established &#8220;United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund&#8221; will facilitate collaboration between the two nations to boost Ukraine&#8217;s economic recovery. According to a Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/">report</a> on Wednesday, Scott Bessent, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, highlighted the agreement&#8217;s importance in demonstrating the U.S. commitment to a free and prosperous Ukraine.
He said, &#8220;This agreement signals clearly to Russia that the Trump Administration is committed to a peace process centered on a free, sovereign, and prosperous Ukraine over the long term.&#8221;
Yulia Svyrydenko, Ukraine&#8217;s Minister of Economy, emphasized that the agreement reflects the U.S.&#8217;s dedication to Ukraine&#8217;s security and recovery. The document, seen by The Washington Post, underscores a strategic alignment between the countries, though it lacks specific security guarantees.
The agreement notably excludes&nbsp;the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant,&nbsp;which was seized by Russia in 2022. U.S. officials have suggested&nbsp;taking control of the plant&nbsp;in a future peace deal. Ukraine&#8217;s initial proposal under President&nbsp;Volodymyr Zelensky&nbsp;was revised after disagreements over security and financial terms.
The latest draft addresses Ukraine&#8217;s concerns about compliance with European Union laws and removes language requiring reimbursement for past U.S. military aid. Despite uncertainties, the deal is seen as a symbolic gesture of support, with private sector investment still needed for Ukraine&#8217;s mineral projects.
Alex Jacquez, a senior Biden-era minerals official, said that while Ukraine has deposits of a &#8220;variety of critical minerals&#8221; their valuation was largely imaginary.
&#8220;There is a reason few of these mining projects are actually being developed outside of China — under current economic conditions, it makes little sense for investors,&#8221; said Jacquez.

Why It Matters: The agreement comes at a time when Ukraine&#8217;s recovery is heavily reliant on sustainable investment. Experts have called for a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44463509/ukraines-recovery-depends-on-sustainable-investment-experts-call-for-trilateral-minerals-deal">trilateral minerals deal</a>&nbsp;involving the U.S. and the European Union to secure Ukraine's critical mineral assets. Such a partnership could enhance supply chain security and provide geopolitical stability.
Additionally, the deal follows a period of tension between the U.S. and Ukraine. President Donald Trump previously expressed dissatisfaction with Zelenskyy after a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44064917/trump-says-ukraines-zelensky-is-not-ready-for-peace-after-oval-office-spat-he-disrespected-the-united-states-of-america">contentious meeting</a> at the White House, highlighting ongoing challenges in U.S.-Ukraine relations. Despite these challenges, the finalized agreement marks a step forward in economic collaboration.

Revenue growth marked an all-time quarterly high, driven by strong sales of flagship Galaxy S25 smartphones and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.samsung.com/global/ir/" rel="noreferrer noopener">high-value-added products</a>.
Operating profit was 6.7 trillion Korean won ($17.62 billion), up from 6.6 Korean won a year ago, despite headwinds for the DS Division.

The division reported 1.1 trillion Korean won in operating profit (versus 1.9 trillion Korean won Y/Y) due to the erosion of average selling price (ASP) and a decrease in HBM sales due to export controls on AI chips and deferred demand in anticipation of upcoming enhanced HBM3E products.
Samsung Display Corp Division (SDC) posted 5.9 trillion Korean won in revenue (versus 5.4 trillion Korean won Y/Y) and 0.5 trillion Korean won in operating profit (versus 0.3 trillion Korean won Y/Y).

Seoul and Washington agreed to pursue a comprehensive package agreement by July 8, when the 90-day tariff pause will end.
Samsung has struggled for months to secure&nbsp;Nvidia Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) final nod for its most advanced HBM products, making it challenging to compete with&nbsp;Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>).

In the second half, SDC aims to grow mobile display business sales through differentiated technologies and products.
