A strategic Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reserve remains a topic of discussion after &#8216;Crypto Czar&#8217; David Sacks on Tuesday announced it would be one of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43477333/crypto-czar-sacks-says-potential-bitcoin-reserve-to-be-one-of-crypto-committees-first-priorities">digital assets committee&#8217;s first priorities.</a>
What Happened: Despite the announcement the odds of a reserve being implemented in 2025 have dropped from a peak of 68.5% in January to 58% on prediction market site Kalshi. 
At the press conference, Sacks further stated that a possible inclusion of Bitcoin in the newly-incepted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43473182/could-the-trump-established-sovereign-wealth-fund-invest-in-bitcoin-nvidia-tiktok">sovereign wealth fund</a> would fall under the responsibility of the soon-to-be Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick.
Amid this ongoing debate, MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) executive chairman Michael Saylor stirred excitement, tweeting about a &#8220;Big Strategy Day&#8221; on Wednesday.

Coinvo, a Bitcoin investor and trader, emphasized that strategic Bitcoin reserves are being established globally, suggesting the U.S. could just be at the beginning of a larger trend.

Why It Matters: Crypto trader OSF noted that many expected a U.S. Bitcoin reserve to be announced immediately after Trump's inauguration, leading to instant Bitcoin purchases. 
When this didn't occur, speculation turned to David Sacks, who has stressed the need for thorough research.
OSF <a href="https://x.com/osf_rekt/status/1886874591370400145">argues</a> that this short-term speculation has created market volatility, benefiting savvy, patient investors who can capitalize on others' impatience. 
He notes that government actions take time, and traders should brace for a prolonged period of volatility.
The Bitcoin Therapist <a href="https://x.com/TheBTCTherapist/status/1886971995327213591">highlighted</a> the irony that while 99% of people and institutions lack Bitcoin exposure, the U.S. government is considering a strategic Bitcoin reserve. 
He sees this as the start of a massive financial transformation, underscoring the misunderstanding and undervaluation of Bitcoin.

Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) CEO Warren Buffett was able to once again beat the performance of the S&amp;P 500 in 2024, which came as he sold shares of several of his larger positions and added to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/01/42832123/warren-buffett-beats-sp-500-in-2024-how-oracle-of-omahas-returns-compare-over-past-20-years"> his cash balance.</a>
Buffett isn't buying much, but one stock continues to catch his attention.
What Happened: Buffett has invested <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/08/40652464/warren-buffett-celebrates-94th-birthday-with-1-trillion-market-cap-milestone-a-look-back-at-hig">in value stocks </a>over the years, preferring this method of investing in companies trading below their value over investing in unprofitable growth stocks.
This might explain why Buffett could be the reason Berkshire Hathaway is scooping up more shares of satellite radio company Sirius XM Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIRI#NASDAQ">SIRI</a>).
A new SEC <a href="https://investor.siriusxm.com/sec-filings/all-sec-filings##document-6883-0000950170-25-012600-2">filing </a>showed Berkshire Hathaway purchased 2,308,119 shares for around $54 million from Jan. 30 through Feb. 3.
The purchases came after Sirius XM Holdings reported fourth-quarter financial results that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43345721/sirius-xm-q4-earnings-beats-estimates-ceo-highlights-focus-on-in-car-subscriptions-ad-supported-growth">beat analyst estimates.</a>
Berkshire Hathaway now owns 119,776,692 Sirius XM shares — around 35.4% of the company, as reported by <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/02/04/warren-buffetts-berkshire-hathaway-scoops-up-more-sirius-xm-boosting-stake-to-35percent.html">CNBC</a>.
The firm first bought Liberty Media stocks in 2016. It later added to its Sirius XM-specific stake in 2024 as Liberty underwent changes to its public holding companies.
You may not be a billionaire like Warren Buffett, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/02/43419547/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet-52">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
Why It's Important: Buffett has not publicly commented on Sirius XM Holdings. It&#8217;s also unclear whether it&#8217;s him or another Berkshire investor buying the shares.
Berkshire Hathaway also added Sirius XM shares in December. The move came as the Buffett-led conglomerate held its cash and sat on the sidelines of the stock market.
Sirius XM stock is down 52% over the last year. This could make the stock a value play with the right financials.
During the fourth-quarter results, Sirius XM CEO Jennifer Witz put an emphasis on the company prioritizing its in-car subscription business, leveraging streaming capabilities and growing its ad-supported audio.
The company currently trades with a price-to-earnings ratio of 7.03x and has a price-to-sales ratio of 0.96x, both considered cheap for value stocks.
Investors are eagerly awaiting public comments from Buffett on why Berkshire Hathaway is a big buy from the company. Until then, investors may just have to invest alongside the Oracle of Omaha or take a wait and see approach.
Price Action: Sirius XM Holdings stock trades at $24.62 on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $20.47 to $51.80.

Amgen Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

Marc Andreessen, a major tech investor and cofounder of venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, believes AI will drastically reshape the economy by crashing wages while also driving down the cost of goods and services.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Promise of a Consumer Utopia</h2>
In a recent <a href="https://x.com/pmarca/status/1882993091784880557">tweet</a>, Andreessen claimed that the fall in human wages due to AI is not only logical but necessary. &#8220;A world in which human wages crash from AI – logically, necessarily – is a world in which productivity growth goes through the roof, and prices for goods and services crash to near zero,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;Consumer cornucopia. Everything you need and want for pennies.&#8221;

</ul>
As Futurism reports, this follows a well-worn Silicon Valley belief that technological progress inevitably results in widespread prosperity. The idea is that, as AI boosts productivity to unprecedented levels, prices will plummet, making life more affordable even if people are earning far less. However, this assumes that people will still have enough income to participate in this supposed economic utopia.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Ruthless Logic of Silicon Valley</h2>
Andreessen's vision highlights how many tech leaders see the future: temporary economic struggles are just part of progress. However, his comments also suggest that these investors care more about changing things quickly than about workers losing their jobs.
For instance, while some AI proponents <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43255222/bill-gates-wants-to-tax-the-robots-that-take-your-job-and-some-say-it-could-fund-universal-basic-income-to-replace-lost-wages">advocate for universal basic income (UBI)</a> as a safety net for displaced workers, Andreessen is staunchly against it, comparing it in his infamous &#8220;The Techno-Optimist Manifesto&#8221; to turning people into &#8220;zoo animals.&#8221; Instead of offering solutions to mitigate AI's impact, he appears to view the collapse of traditional jobs as an unavoidable consequence of progress.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Broader Pattern of Disdain for Workers</h2>
Andreessen's rhetoric isn&#8217;t an isolated case. Elon Musk shares a similar philosophy and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41701075/elon-musk-warns-of-hardship-for-americans-if-trump-puts-him-in-charge-of-cutting-33-trillion-deb">commented in November</a> that his DOGE commission's work would "necessarily involve some temporary hardship." Oracle cofounder Larry Ellison supports AI being <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40892284/oracles-larry-ellison-predicts-police-officers-will-be-supervised-at-all-times-and-citizens-will-be">used for government surveillance</a>, saying it will make sure &#8220;citizens will be on their best behavior.&#8221;
Andreessen has also expressed deep suspicion toward the workers inside his companies. In a recent interview with NYT&#8217;s Ross Douthat, he claimed that elite institutions are producing &#8220;America-hating communists&#8221; who infiltrate his firms and actively work to destroy them from the inside. He views these people as &#8220;professional activists&#8221; who undermine companies rather than help them, strengthening his argument for using AI to replace human labor.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Future of AI and the Economy</h2>
Andreessen and other Silicon Valley elites continue to push the narrative that AI's disruptive potential is an unavoidable step toward a better future. However, a big part of their worldview is predicated on the idea that people would adapt and that new opportunities will inevitably arise due to technological advancement.
For many workers, though, the promise of cheaper goods and services means little if they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/02/37203455/google-lays-off-thousands-more-employees-despite-record-profits-one-year-after-laying-off-12-000-emp">no longer have a steady income</a>. The AI revolution may drive economic efficiency, but whether it results in a society that benefits everyone remains to be seen.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

WIIM

UnitedHealth Group shares are trading lower following a now-deleted post on X from Bill Ackman stating he would short the stock.

Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACB#NASDAQ">ACB</a>) stock surged more than 45% on Wednesday morning following the release of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43496003/aurora-cannabis-stock-jumps-on-record-breaking-q3-earnings">third-quarter fiscal 2025 earnings</a>, which revealed a substantial increase in revenue and profitability. The company reported total net revenue of CA$88.2 million ($61.74 million), up 37% year-over-year, driven largely by a 51% jump in its global medical cannabis business.
&#8220;This quarter was record-breaking for Aurora, driven by all-time highs in global medical net revenue, net income, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow,&#8221; said Miguel Martin, Aurora's executive chairman and CEO. The company also posted a net income of CA$31.2 million, a 282% year-over-year increase, and an adjusted EBITDA of CA$23.1 million, up 316%.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cannabis Stocks Rally In Sympathy?</h2>
The strong earnings report triggered a broader rally in the cannabis sector, with several companies experiencing notable gains:
<ul>
<li>Canopy Growth Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CGC#NASDAQ">CGC</a>) jumped over 23%.</li>
<li>Tilray Brands Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLRY#NASDAQ">TLRY</a>) climbed more than 10%.</li>
<li>Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRON#NASDAQ">CRON</a>) rose approximately 8%.</li>
</ul>
Investors appear to be reacting positively to Aurora's performance, particularly its growing international medical cannabis revenues and improved profitability.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Do Trade Tensions Play A Role?</h2>
Beyond earnings, another factor likely contributing to the sector-wide rally is the 30-day delay in U.S.-Canada tariffs, a move that has eased investor concerns. The Trump administration postponed the imposition of 25% tariffs on Canadian imports, providing a window for further trade negotiations. While cannabis wasn't explicitly mentioned in the tariff discussions, the broader economic impact on trade between the countries may be influencing sentiment toward Canadian cannabis companies.
As Aurora continues to expand its medical cannabis footprint globally, investors are closely watching whether the company can sustain its momentum in upcoming quarters.
