The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mark-zuckerberg">shareholders</a> of Mark Zuckerberg&#8217;s Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) have reportedly requested its Board of Directors to conduct an assessment and determine if adding Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) to the company&#8217;s treasury will be in the best interest of the company.
What Happened: This request for assessment follows a proposal submitted by the company&#8217;s shareholder Ethan Peck.
Peck is a deputy director for the National Center for Public Policy Research's &#8216;Free Enterprise Project&#8217;, which is the conservative movement's only full-service shareholder activism and education program. The organization has also submitted similar proposals to Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) as well.
Meta did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment.
Tim Kotzman, the CEO and founder of Jubilee Royalty, shared a copy of this proposal in an X post dated Jan. 11.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Meta, the owner of WhatsApp and Instagram, reported in its third-quarter filing that it holds $72 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, including U.S. Treasuries and corporate bonds.
The proposal suggests that some part of this money should be deployed in the &#8220;inflation-resistant store of value&#8221; Bitcoin. It also quotes BlackRock, which is the second-largest institutional investor in Meta, saying that &#8220;a 2% Bitcoin allocation is reasonable&#8221;. 
What Does It Mean For Investors: If Meta diversifies its holdings into Bitcoin, it could help the company earn higher profitability if the cryptocurrency&#8217;s price appreciates. Thus, it boosts the earnings from holding the asset, which will be beneficial for investors and shareholders. The proposal also highlighted that the largest holder of Bitcoin MicroStrategy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) has outperformed Meta by 2191% over the last five years
Other U.S corporates like Marathon Digital Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>), Galaxy Digital Holdings, Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), and Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) along with MSTR are the top five public companies that hold Bitcoin reserves.

Why It Matters: In May 2021, Zuckerberg named his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/05/21051620/facebook-ceo-mark-zuckerberg-sparks-bitcoin-speculation-as-he-reveals-the-name-of-his-pet-">pet goats</a> &#8216;Bitcoin&#8217; and &#8216;Max&#8217;, which fueled cryptocurrency speculation, particularly on X (formerly Twitter).
While it wasn&#8217;t a direct investment signal, the playful gesture ignited widespread discussion about Zuckerberg&#8217;s potential entry into the Bitcoin market, which ultimately did not occur.
In a 2023 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LY0iGhv3Jnc">podcast</a> named &#8216;What Bitcoin Did&#8217; by Peter McCormack, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/05/27183376/former-meta-crypto-chief-launches-bitcoin-payments-company">former head</a> of the Facebook Libra project, David Marcus was asked if Zuckerberg had any affinity with Bitcoin. Marcus said, &#8220;He likes Bitcoin."

Meta Investors Push Mark Zuckerberg To Replace $72B Cash With Bitcoin To Combat Inflation: Here's What It Means For Investors

The &#8216;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/42935547/warren-buffett-sounds-alarm-on-casino-like-market-shares-this-key-lesson-for-young-investors">Oracle of Omaha</a>&#8216; Warren Buffett and his business partner, the late veteran <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/42935637/heres-how-charlie-mungers-final-investment-move-doubled-his-money-reveals-his-close-friend-li-lu">investor</a> Charlie Munger, well known for their value investing rationale defended active investing during Berkshire Hathaway Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NASDAQ">BRK</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NASDAQ">BRK</a>) 2001 annual meeting.
What Happened: Responding to a young 10-year-old boy&#8217;s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DDmhjk0tGhI/">question</a> about investor education at high school during its 2001 meeting, Buffett said, &#8220;Best investment you can make at an early age is in yourself.&#8221;
However, Munger took the opportunity to interject a word of caution after motivating the 10-year-old, saying that the kid is likely to succeed at what he is trying to do, but &#8220;that&#8217;s not always a good idea.&#8221;
&#8220;If all you succeed in doing in your life is to get early rich from passive holding of little bits of paper. You get better and better at only that for all your life, it&#8217;s a failed life. Life is more than being shrewd at passive wealth accumulation.&#8221;
Passive investing is a prominent investment strategy in contemporary times, which involves mirroring a market index, such as the S&amp;P 500.
This approach, often employed in equity markets through index funds, aims to replicate the performance of a specific benchmark. While traditionally concentrated in equities, passive management is expanding into other asset classes, including bonds, commodities, and even hedge funds.

Why It Matters: Key principles guiding Munger and Buffett&#8217;s partnership included a focus on investing in high-quality businesses at attractive prices, a long-term investment perspective, and a strong commitment to integrity and ethical behavior.
However, the popularity of passive investments has been growing in recent years. 2024 was a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42606037/etf-market-hits-records-in-2024-inflows-reach-16-trillion-7-funds-top-ranking">landmark year for ETFs</a>, with record-breaking inflows exceeding $1.6 trillion, propelling the global market to a staggering $15.1 trillion in assets.
This surge, driven by institutional adoption and a record 1,485 new launches, solidifies ETFs as a cornerstone of modern investing.
This explosive growth builds on a five-year trajectory of 19% annualized expansion. While passive investing remains dominant, with 93% of ETFs tracking indices, the demand for active strategies is driving innovation and fueling the conversion of mutual funds to ETFs.

Jim Cramer&nbsp;has offered insights into the recent struggles of the Nasdaq Composite, which failed to rally despite gains in other major indices. The tech-heavy index dipped 0.38% while&nbsp;the Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;rose 0.86% and the S&amp;P 500 increased 0.16%.
What Happened: Cramer attributed the Nasdaq&#8217;s decline to a &#8220;one-two punch&#8221; from the U.S. government and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Over the weekend, the Biden administration introduced new restrictions on semiconductor exports, which Cramer criticized as &#8220;short-sighted,&#8221; CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/13/jim-cramer-explains-why-the-nasdaq-failed-to-rally-on-monday.html">reported</a> on Monday.
"The tag team of the government and Meta may have been too much for everyone," Cramer said.
In&nbsp;an interview with Joe Rogan,&nbsp;Zuckerberg criticized&nbsp;Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>)&nbsp;for its perceived lack of innovation and supported some&nbsp;claims in the Department of&nbsp;Justice&#8217;s antitrust case against Apple. Cramer described Zuckerberg&#8217;s comments as &#8220;self-serving and one-sided,&#8221; expressing surprise at the public criticism of a peer company.
Cramer compared the situation in the tech sector to the pharmaceutical industry, which also faces government restrictions. He noted that some drug stocks managed to rise on Monday, as CEOs effectively advocated for their products.
He questioned whether the challenges faced by these industries were merely &#8220;glancing blows,&#8221; concluding that the government and Meta were responsible for the Nasdaq&#8217;s struggles that day.
Why It Matters: The Nasdaq Composite&#8217;s recent performance reflects broader market trends and reactions to policy changes. On Jan. 13, U.S. stocks showed mixed results, with the Nasdaq falling over 1% while the Dow and S&amp;P 500 experienced fluctuations. 
The semiconductor export restrictions introduced by the Biden administration have significant implications for tech companies, potentially affecting their global competitiveness and supply chains. Additionally,&nbsp;Zuckerberg&#8217;s criticism&nbsp;of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42949679/us-stocks-mixed-nasdaq-down-over-1">Apple highlights ongoing tensions</a> in the tech industry, particularly concerning innovation and antitrust issues.

Jim Cramer Says 'One-Two Punch' From Government And Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg Led To Nasdaq's Monday Decline: '...May Have Been Too Much For Everyone'

WeRide Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WRD#NASDAQ">WRD</a>), a global leader in autonomous driving technology, is the technology provider for an innovative new autonomous driving pilot project in Switzerland. This project is funded by the Canton of Zurich and Swiss national railway Schweizerische Bundesbahnen (SBB) and managed by the Swiss Transit Lab (STL), with WeRide providing products and operational support. The decision demonstrates WeRide's leading L4 autonomous driving technology and operational experience has again been recognized by the international market.
During the test phase, two autonomous cars with WeRide technology will be in service. When operations start, which is expected in the second quarter, up to four cars will be deployed. Fully unmanned mode will operate for up to five years. In 2026, the fleet is expected to expand with eight additional autonomous vehicles, with further expansion in future.
The first automated vehicles will operate in Switzerland's Furttal Region. Residents will be able to book the autonomous vehicles by an app supplied by ioki.

German automaker Audi delivered around 1.7 million vehicles worldwide last year, marking a drop of about 12%, allowing American EV giant Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) to overtake it in global vehicle sales.
What Happened: Audi pinned the decline in overall deliveries to challenging economic conditions, a competitive market, and limited availability of parts.
Though the company launched new models, including all battery electric vehicles, in 2024, they are only gradually having an impact on global sales, the automaker said. The company witnessed a 21% decline in Germany, a 13% drop in North America, and an 11% drop in China.
Audi EV Sales: Out of its overall deliveries, over 164,000 were fully electric models, marking a decline of 8% as compared to 2023, the company said.
&#8220;Challenging economic conditions and the in transparency in terms of government incentive structures are currently causing a certain reluctance to buy affecting the entire industry, especially when it comes to fully electric vehicles," Marco Schubert, Board Member for Sales and Marketing, said in a statement.
Why It Matters: While a fall in EV sales managed to drag Audi&#8217;s overall deliveries lower, Tesla overtook it in global vehicle deliveries by delivering about 1.79 million vehicles in 2024. 
Tesla&#8217;s deliveries fell by about 1.1% in 2024 as compared to the 1,808,581 deliveries reported for 2023, marking its&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42766117/tesla-stock-tumbles-on-q4-deliveries-whats-going-on" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">first fall in annual vehicle deliveries</a>. However, the company still managed to overtake its rival and legacy brand Audi. 
Tesla shared its achievement over Audi in a post on social media platform X and wrote, &#8220;Thank you to our owners around the world – you rock!&#8221;

Audi's Deliveries Drop 12% In 2024: Tesla Takes The Lead In Global Sales

Editor&#8217;s Note: This story has been updated to clarify that Ackman&#8217;s Pershing Square plans to increase its Howard Hughes Holdings stake by $1 billion.
Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HHH#NYSE">HHH</a>) experienced an 11.01% increase in its stock price on Monday during pre-market hours, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, after Bill Ackman&#8216;s Pershing Square declared that it is set to augment its stake in Howard Hughes Holdings by $1 billion.
The offer was made on Monday at $85 per share, according to Reuters. The proposal will allow the shareholders of Texas-based real estate developer, a long-standing investment for Pershing Square, to choose between receiving the full payment in cash or opting to &#8220;roll over&#8221; their shares into the post-merger entity, as stated in a letter from Pershing.

"While we are pleased with the substantial business progress Howard Hughes Holdings has made over the more than 14 years since it went public, we, like other long-term shareholders and this board, have been displeased with the Company's stock price performance," wrote Ackman in a letter.
Howard Hughes Holdings, with a market capitalization of $3.6 billion, has not yet provided a comment on the offer, Reuters noted. The move by Ackman&#8217;s firm reflects its continued interest and investment in the real estate developer, which has been a part of its portfolio for an extended period.

Nvidia Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), the artificial intelligence powerhouse led by Jensen Huang is pushing back against new semiconductor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42958107/stocks-edge-down-ahead-of-key-inflation-reports-crude-hits-5-month-high-bitcoin-sinks-whats-driving-markets-monday">export regulations imposed</a> by President Joe Biden&#8216;s administration.
What Happened: The Commerce Department&#8217;s fresh 168-page rule aims to control the global flow of graphics processing units, a key area where Nvidia dominates with an estimated 90% market share. While the restrictions target national security, critics, including Nvidia, argue the move could stifle AI innovation.
Nvidia&#8217;s response, however, reflects concerns about the broader economic impact. &#8220;This rule threatens to derail innovation and economic growth worldwide,&#8221; said Nvidia's VP of government affairs, Ned Finkle, in a statement. The company has previously tailored products to meet regulatory changes, creating a less powerful chip for the Chinese market in 2022.
The regulations, unveiled on Monday, classify countries into three categories for GPU export controls. While 18 U.S. allies, including the UK and Japan, will have unrestricted access, the most advanced GPUs will be prohibited from reaching countries like China, Russia, and Iran. The remaining nations face caps on GPU exports, with larger orders requiring U.S. government approval.

Why It Matters: Experts remain divided on the potential consequences. Chris Miller, a semiconductor industry expert, suggests that while Nvidia may face reduced demand from certain countries, the high demand for its products could mitigate the impact, reported Business Insider <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/new-us-chip-restrictions-nvidia-biden-trump-2025-1">on</a> Monday. 
Still, others argue the rule could push global AI infrastructure development toward U.S. firms, with the Middle East and other regions excluded from the free-flowing GPU access.
The Biden administration cites national security concerns, warning that advanced AI technology could fuel mass surveillance and weapon development. 
Supporters of the policy, including some Republicans, believe these controls are essential to counter China&#8217;s growing AI capabilities. The regulations, subject to a 120-day comment period, are expected to take effect under President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s administration, raising questions about their long-term effectiveness. 
Price Action: Nvidia stock closed at $133.23 on Monday, down 1.97% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock surged by 1.28%. Over the past year, Nvidia's stock has surged by 136.31%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) secured a partial victory against the Securities and Exchange Commission when a federal appeals court ruled the agency&#8217;s denial of crypto rulemaking was &#8220;arbitrary and capricious,&#8221; while stopping short of forcing new regulations.
What Happened: In a Monday opinion, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit criticized the SEC&#8217;s handling of Coinbase&#8217;s 2022 petition requesting clear rules for digital assets. 
The three-judge panel ordered the agency to better explain its rejection of the petition but declined to mandate immediate rulemaking proceedings.
Judge Thomas Ambro wrote that the SEC&#8217;s original denial lacked sufficient reasoning. In a separate concurrence, Judge Stephanos Bibas warned that &#8220;sporadically enforcing ill-fitting rules against crypto companies that are trying to follow the law&#8221; could effectively ban an entire industry.
The ruling comes amid broader tensions between the crypto industry and the SEC. The agency filed a separate enforcement action against Coinbase in June 2023, alleging it operated as an unregistered securities exchange. That case is currently under appeal in the Second Circuit.

Why It Matters: The court noted it would only mandate agency rulemaking in cases of &#8220;extreme delay that endangers human lives,&#8221; not primarily economic concerns. The decision requires the SEC to provide a more detailed explanation for its rejection of Coinbase&#8217;s petition.
The ruling adds pressure on the SEC, which is currently pursuing several high-profile enforcement cases against crypto firms including Ripple Labs and Binance, while facing industry criticism over its regulatory approach to digital assets.
Price Action: Coinbase Global stock closed at $251.20 on Monday, down 2.93% for the day. After hours, the stock rose by 1.67%. Over the past year, Coinbase&#8217;s stock has surged by 87.63%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Coinbase Wins Partial Victory In SEC Regulatory Challenge, Court Calls Agency's Stance 'Arbitrary'

Brussels is revisiting its scrutiny of major tech firms like&nbsp;Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>),&nbsp;Meta Platforms Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), and&nbsp;Alphabet Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>). This comes as U.S. companies urge President-elect Donald Trump to tackle what they perceive as overzealous EU enforcement. 
What Happened: The review could change the direction of these probes, which started under the EU&#8217;s digital markets regulations last March, the Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/2c1b6bfd-ce73-451d-8123-0df964266ae8">reported</a> on Tuesday. 
The reassessment aligns with the European Commission&#8217;s new five-year term and Trump&#8217;s imminent return to the White House. A senior EU diplomat, aware of the review, highlighted the influence of tech leaders close to Trump, saying, "It's going to be a whole new ballgame."
While decisions and potential fines are on hold, technical work on cases continues. Some investigations are in the early stages, while others, like Google&#8217;s alleged app store favoritism, are more advanced. EU officials await political guidance to finalize decisions on cases involving Google, Apple, and Meta.
EU lawmakers urge the commission to resist U.S. pressure, while Silicon Valley anticipates lighter regulation under Trump. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently called on Trump to prevent EU fines, citing $30 billion in penalties over 20 years. The commission insists on effective rule enforcement, denying political delays.
Why It Matters: The ongoing tension between the EU and major tech companies is not new. Recently,&nbsp;Mark Zuckerberg<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/42891403/mark-zuckerberg-accuses-eu-of-censorship-spokesperson-pushes-back-on-metas-allegations-we-absolutely-refute-any-claims"> accused the EU of censorship</a>, a claim the European Commission firmly denied. This reflects the broader conflict over regulatory practices, with the EU maintaining that its regulations only require the removal of illegal content.
Furthermore, the EU&#8217;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41380184/as-apple-microsoft-battle-eu-regulations-this-new-cybersecurity-rule-can-cost-companies-up-to-10m-if">NIS 2 cybersecurity directive</a>&nbsp;has added another layer of complexity. This directive mandates enhanced cybersecurity practices, with non-compliance potentially resulting in hefty fines. However, inconsistent enforcement across EU countries could lead to challenges in uniform application, complicating the regulatory landscape for tech giants.

China New Loans For December 990.0B	Vs. 890.0B Est.; 580.0B Prior

Online retailer Amazon.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) said on Tuesday that it has ordered more than 200 new eActros 600 vehicles from Mercedes-Benz Trucks to deploy in Europe&nbsp;in a bid to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/24/12/42599673/amazon-has-20000-rivian-electric-delivery-vans-in-fleet-heres-what-could-be-next-for-both-companies">electrify its fleet.</a>
What Happened: The trucks will join Amazon&#8217;s transportation network later this year, the company said, while adding that they will be deployed across high-mileage routes in the UK and Germany. 
The trucks, it said, will transport trailers to and from Amazon&#8217;s fulfillment centers, sort centers, and delivery stations. They are expected to transport over 350 million packages every year once fully operational. 
&#8220;It is the biggest electric heavy truck order by Amazon to date anywhere in the world, and is an important step as we work to achieve our Climate Pledge commitment to reach net-zero carbon emissions across our operations by 2040,&#8221;&nbsp;Andreas Marschner, Vice President of Amazon Worldwide Operations Sustainability, said in a statement. 
Mercedes Benz Trucks is part of the Daimler Trucks division (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DTGHF#OTC">DTGHF</a>).
Why It Matters: The eActros 600 is a long-haul electric truck from Mercedes Benz Trucks manufactured at its plant in Wörth, Germany. It offers an installed battery capacity of over 600 kilowatt hours and a range of 500 kilometers. 
Amazon said on Tuesday that it will install 360 kW electric charging points at key sites to ensure there are no hurdles to charging these trucks while also working with stakeholders to support the installation of external charging points in suitable locations. 
Amazon is investing more than a billion euros in the coming years to electrify its transportation network across Europe. In May, the company deployed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38707668/amazon-advances-towards-zero-emissions-with-new-electric-trucks">50 electric heavy trucks in California</a> as well.
