MrBeast Buys Gen Z Bank Just Weeks After BitMine's $200M Bet Authored by Brayden Lindrea via CoinTelegraph.com, Beast Industries, the entertainment company founded by YouTuber Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson, is acquiring Step, a mobile banking app focused on teenagers and young adults, marking its most significant push into finance to date. In a post to X on Monday, Donaldson said the motivation behind the acquisition was to equip young people with the tools and guidance needed to navigate personal finance from an early age. Source: MrBeast Beast Industries CEO Jeff Housenbold said , "Financial health is fundamental to overall wellbeing, yet too many people lack access to the tools and knowledge they need to build financial security.” The acquisition cost was not disclosed. The YouTube channel’s expansion into finance comes after it received a $200 million investment from Ethereum treasury firm BitMine Immersion Technologies in January and a separate trademark filing for “MrBeast Financial” in October. That trademark filing mentioned "cryptocurrency exchange services,” “cryptocurrency payment processing,” and “cryptocurrency via decentralized exchanges.” However, it isn’t clear whether that trademark filing is related to the Step acquisition. Cointelegraph reached out to Beast Industries for comment, but didn’t receive an immediate response. Step scales to 6.5 million users in 8 years The Step app aims to help Gen Z users manage money, build credit, earn rewards, and deepen their financial literacy. Spending accounts are Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation -insured through Evolve Bank & Trust. The banking app has scaled to 6.5 million users since launching in 2018 and has raised around $500 million from the likes of Steph Curry, Justin Timberlake, Will Smith and Charli D’Amelio. The MrBeast YouTube channel has 466 million subscribers, the largest channel on the video-streaming platform. Housenbold said the Step acquisition “positions us to meet our audiences where they...

Dougal Waters JPMorgan Wealth Management is growing increasingly optimistic about the stock market’s prospects, with the firm’s bull case scenario projecting the S&P 500 could climb above 8,000 by year’s end. Elyse Ausenbaugh, head of investment strategy at JPMorgan Wealth Management, said in an interview with CNBC that the firm expects double-digit gains for a fourth consecutive year, a feat that would mark only the fifth time such a streak has occurred in a century. “We do think that can happen. That’s our base case, and we’re actually starting to entertain our bull case more and more, particularly if these AI stories really start to play out and find their legs,” Ausenbaugh told CNBC. The strategist noted that despite historical odds being against such a run, the ongoing investment in AI infrastructure and strategic national security priorities around the world are bolstering market conviction. On the Federal Reserve’s path forward, Ausenbaugh’s outlook diverges from current market expectations. JPMorgan anticipates only one rate cut by midyear, with rates held steady thereafter, compared to the two cuts the market is pricing in. “We’re at the top end ostensibly of the neutral rate range, and we don’t necessarily think that the Fed has to move too quickly,” she explained, adding that the Fed has “wiggle room to be patient” despite some softness in recent cyclical indicators. Regarding AI investments, Ausenbaugh emphasized a selective approach amid recent market volatility in software and wealth management stocks. “We’re bullish on artificial intelligence, and that bull case is based on a belief that AI will be disruptive. Disruption has consequences, and you’re seeing markets grapple with those consequences right now,” she said. The firm is most constructive on semiconductors and networking stocks on the pullback. Ausenbaugh acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding how AI developments will ultimately reshape markets. “I don’t think a lot,” she said when asked abo...

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Nvidia Corp. (NVDA, Financials) will have to live with restrictions on how it sells artificial intelligence chips to China, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Tuesday. Speaking to reporters, Lutnick emphasized that detailed licensing conditions were developed with the State Department to regulate Nvidia's sales of its H200 accelerators. The license terms are very detailed, and those terms Nvidia must live with, he said, according to comments obtained. The restrictions stem from an agreement last year under which President Donald Trump approved limited H200 sales to China in exchange for 25% of the revenue generated from those chips. Last month, Beijing informed domestic firms including Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., Tencent Holdings Ltd., and others that they could begin preparing orders. The fate of potential shipments to ByteDance Ltd. remains uncertain as negotiations continue over usage conditions tied to U.S. national security concerns. The Biden administration and Congress have maintained tight oversight of AI chip exports to China amid fears the technology could strengthen Beijing's military and surveillance capabilities. Nvidia shares dipped slightly following Lutnick's remarks.

MP Materials surged 224% in 2025. Can the rare-earth miner beat the market in 2026? MP Materials (MP 0.73%) was on a tear in 2025. By the end of the year, shares of the rare-earth miner and permanent magnet manufacturer were up 224%. At one point in October 2025, shares of MP had climbed about 440%, before a broader sell-off in the market sent the stock back to earth. MP stock is currently beating the market, with a roughly 10.5% gain so far this year. Even with policy winds at its back, however, a few things need to go right for this rare-earth company to have another breakout year. Expand NYSE : MP MP Materials Today's Change ( -0.73 %) $ -0.46 Current Price $ 62.34 Key Data Points Market Cap $11B Day's Range $ 61.60 - $ 63.90 52wk Range $ 18.64 - $ 100.25 Volume 29K Avg Vol 8.6M Gross Margin -2627.54 % America's homegrown rare-earth champion MP Materials is a U.S.-based rare-earth company that owns and operates the Mountain Pass mine in California, which is currently one of the only large-scale rare-earth mines in the country. It also operates a facility called Independence in Fort Worth, Texas, that can turn rare-earth material into permanent magnets that generate their own magnetic field. MP currently sits at a crossroads of geopolitical and economic currents. Rare-earth magnets are vital for tech, defense, and clean energy sectors. But for years the U.S. has relied heavily on China for magnet supply, which has given Beijing leverage over the U.S. In July 2025, the Department of Defense (DoD) invested $400 million in MP, becoming its biggest shareholder, and entered a public-private partnership with the company. Under the agreement, the DoD will buy 100% of the magnets produced at its second U.S. magnet factory for 10 years after the facility is built. It also guaranteed a generous price floor of $110 per kilogram for MP's neodymium-praseodymium (NdPr) product. That news helped MP stock finish July over 100% higher. Is MP Materials a buy right now?

Colombia’s fiscal hole is so deep that it warrants an International Monetary Fund program to get it back under control, according to a center-right candidate in the country’s upcoming presidential election. Juan Carlos Pinzón , a former ambassador to the US, said he would also revive the fiscal rule, or balanced-budget act, to restore investor confidence and thereby slash borrowing costs, which are among the highest in emerging markets. If he wins, “I’m going to Washington to reach an agreement with the IMF, and I plan to present this entire plan to them in order to secure the backing and support of international markets,” Pinzón said in an interview at Bloomberg’s Bogotá office. Pinzón said he didn’t “feel the need to use” IMF help, but that he would seek contingent credit as a “backstop” while committing to the fiscal rule and plans to reduce public debt starting in 2028. He said he’d also seek an alliance with Washington on national security, intelligence, technology and joint extraction of key minerals as part of his plan to boost growth and rebuild the nation’s armed forces. Pinzón, 54, was also defense minister under former President Juan Manuel Santos , who signed a peace deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, the Marxist rebel group known as FARC. Pinzón is among the crowded field of candidates vying to replace outgoing President Gustavo Petro later this year. He’ll first face eight other hopefuls in a March 8 primary that will select a single center-right presidential nominee. He registered 7% of the vote in a recent AtlasIntel poll for Semana magazine, lagging frontrunner Senator Paloma Valencia, who led with roughly 27%. Petro’s spending policies have put Colombia under deep fiscal strains that have been exacerbated by his inability to steer tax increases through Congress. His government suspended the fiscal rule last year, and later sought to enact billions of dollars in tax hikes by decree after declaring an economic emergency, only for C...

Most people assume retirement savings build slowly but steadily over time. Work for decades, contribute a little each year, and eventually the balance looks respectable. The newest national data challenges that assumption in a big way. The median retirement savings for employed Americans ages 21 through 64 is just $955. That figure comes from the National Institute on Retirement Security's Retirement in America report for 2026, released this month using U.S. Census Bureau Survey of Income and Program Participation data reflecting balances as of December 2022. The number includes everyone who is working, including millions of people with nothing saved at all. Even when isolating workers who do have money in a defined-contribution account, the median balance reaches only $40,000. Workers closest to retirement age, between 55 and 64, report a median of roughly $30,000.

Access to Plans Still Determines Who Saves The report makes clear that the biggest difference between workers who save and workers who do not often comes down to access. Only 63% of workers have a retirement plan offered through their employer, and 62% participate. Nearly half of private-sector workers still have no workplace plan available, leaving many without an easy way to save consistently. The gaps widen across income and education levels. Workers in the lowest income group contribute about $580 per year on average, while higher earners contribute around $10,000. Workers with a bachelor's degree participate at far higher rates than those with a high school education or less. Hispanic workers face the largest access gap, while white and Asian workers show higher participation rates. Even for those who are saving, progress remains slow. Typical employee contributions fall betw...

In this article CBGA-FF CARL.B-DK HEIO-NL HEIA-NL AMZN Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT An employee checks a Heineken beer bottle on a packaging conveyor at the Heineken NV brewery in Zoeterwoude, Netherlands. Jasper Juinen | Bloomberg | Getty Images Dutch brewer Heineken is planning to lay off up to up to 7% of its workforce, as it looks to boost efficiency through productivity savings from AI, following weak beer sales last year. The world's second-largest brewer reported lackluster earnings on Wednesday, with total beer volumes declining 2.4% over the course of 2025, while adjusted operating profit was up 4.4%. The company also said it plans to cut between 5,000 and 6,000 roles over the next two years and is targeting operating profit growth in the range of 2% to 6% this year. Heineken's shares were last seen up 3.4%, and the stock is up nearly 7% so far this year. Stock Chart Icon Stock chart icon Heineken shares year-to-date Outgoing CEO Dolf van den Brink told CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe" on Wednesday that the results were due to "challenging market circumstances," but performance was overall well-balanced. Heineken's outlook for 2026 comes in below the usual range but "is in line with buyside expectations and consistent with peer Carlsberg , and prudent in light of a new incoming," UBS analysts said in a note on Wednesday. Regarding the cuts, Van den Brink said: "Productivity has been a top priority in our evergreen strategy... we committed to 400 to 500 million euros ($476,000 to $600,000) of savings on an annual basis, and this is a first operationalization of that debt commitment." The job reductions will help the brewer to invest in growth and in its premium brands, he said. Van den Brink acknowledged that the cuts came "partly also due to AI, or let's say digitization." "That's a very big part of our EverGreen 2030 strategy, with around 3,000 roles moving to our business services, where technology digitization in general, and AI specifically...
