Nebius and Microsoft: A Billion-Dollar Love Story (With GPUs)

by

Enter Nebius Group (NBIS), the Russian startup that’s somehow outmaneuvered Oracle in the GPU arms race. Let’s be real: if I told you a company named “Nebius” was about to disrupt the tech world, you’d assume it was a typo. But here we are. Last week, they announced a $17.4 billion, five-year deal with Microsoft. For context, Nebius was previously aiming for $1.1 billion in annual recurring revenue by December. The math here is so absurd it makes me question my own life choices. Like, did I just spend $50 on a cup of coffee? Why am I comparing my bank account to corporate contracts?

Block’s Bitcoin Bazaar: A Tale of Twisted Treasures

by

First, its Bitcoin hoard is not a piggy bank for idle dreams but a clever contraption tied to its daily business antics. Second, unlike the greedy goblins at Strategy, who shovel cash into Bitcoin like it’s shoveling gold dust, Block performs a delicate Bitcoin ballet-spending 10% of its Bitcoin product earnings to buy more. A dance, not a dash!

The Labyrinthine Fall of Micron’s Stock

by

Meanwhile, the indices of the broader market performed better. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) rose by 0.5%, and the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) gained 0.7%.

There Will Be 2 Live-Action Batmans, But Cartoons Did That First

by

As a long-time fan of the Dark Knight, it was a really interesting time for Batman back in the late ’70s. You could actually watch two different versions on Saturday mornings! He’d been a regular on *Super Friends* since 1973 – Olan Soule did the voice, and Casey Kasem, who you probably know as Shaggy from *Scooby-Doo*, played Robin. That show was made by Hanna-Barbera. But then, over on CBS, a new series called *The New Adventures of Batman* came along, and it brought back Adam West and Burt Ward – the original Batman and Robin from the ’66 TV show! It was wild seeing both versions on TV at the same time.
