Another year has passed.
Not much changed in '25 regarding my business. It chugged along another year with no interest from anyone to pay in Bitcoin and thus getting a 20% discount. Honestly I haven't tried to push it either except for what's stated on the invoices.
The business made some purchases of both Bitcoin and stocks which was placed on the balance sheet as a long term hold. Balance sheet is pretty solid.
Market outlook OK. Been thinking a bit about how AI will affect the business. In some shape or form it will.
Lets see what '26 brings us!

Reuters - Exclusive: How China built its ‘Manhattan Project’ to rival the West in AI chips
$ASML.AS
Reuters has published an article describing how china has managed to build a prototype EUV machine for producing state of the art semiconductor chips. No chips have been produced yet though.
Chinese scientists, backed by a six-year state initiative, have secretly built and begun testing a crude but operational prototype EUV lithography machine in a Shenzhen lab. Apparently they reverse‑engineered technology from ASML and parts salvaged from older Western tools. The machine, described as China’s “Manhattan Project” for semiconductors, can generate EUV light but has not yet produced working chips. Beijing’s goal is chip production by 2028, though people involved see 2030 as more realistic, still years earlier than many analysts expected.
The project relies heavily on Chinese‑born former ASML engineers working under aliases, aggressive global recruitment with large bonuses, and a nationwide network of institutes and companies coordinated by Huawei, whose engineers often live on‑site under strict security.
China’s main bottleneck is reproducing ultra‑precise optics like those supplied to ASML by Carl Zeiss, so research institutes such as CIOMP and the Shanghai Institute of Optics are racing to develop domestic alternatives while teams of young engineers painstakingly reverse‑engineer EUV and DUV components sourced via secondary markets and intermediaries despite U.S.-led export controls.
I'm not worried yet.

WSJ - Meet the Teens Investing in Stocks for Their Future Home and Retirement
Interesting article which describes how some U.S. teenagers actively invests in stocks and crypto, often with parental guidance and long-term goals.
One of the teenagers in the article is 13 years old. I sure wasn't 13 when I made my first investment which was in an actively managed fund. I was a lot older.
Platforms like Greenlight report a sharp rise in trades by minors and note that more kids are setting up automatic weekly contributions, suggesting a focus on steady, goal‑oriented investing rather than day‑trading meme stocks.
Pros and cons here. It's good more people take an active approach to saving and investing for sure, at the same time I think children should be able to be children during their childhood.

Kazakhstan National Bank is planning to buy Bitcoin and other crypto!
Great news! Up to $300 million in total...
National Bank chairman Timur Suleimenov clarifies that the potential investments concern the National Bank’s own foreign exchange reserves, not the sovereign National Fund, and that within these reserves a separate portfolio has been set up for high-tech stocks and digital financial instruments, including crypto assets, with a possible allocation of up to 300 million dollars but no obligation to deploy the full amount.
Suleimenov stresses that, after the recent downturn across the crypto and broader digital asset market, the bank will only act when solid investment opportunities appear, relying on thorough analysis and not “running headlong” into crypto; for now, legal and infrastructure frameworks are prepared, but decisions are deliberately delayed until market conditions stabilize.

You know Alexandr Wang, the young guy who had the big puffer jacket in Davos? Not to be confused with the designer Alexander Wang mind you. Well he's the founder and CEO of Scale AI and Zuck might have called him. Smart move, Scale AI have numerous big tech and AI customers.

Some highlights from the article...
"The financing could exceed $10 billion in value, some of the people said, making it one of the largest private company funding events of all time."
"Scale AI, whose customers include Microsoft Corp. and OpenAI, provides data labeling services to help companies train machine-learning models and has become a key beneficiary of the generative AI boom."
"This would be Meta’s biggest ever external AI investment, and a rare move for the company. The social media giant has before now mostly depended on its in-house research, plus a more open development strategy, to make improvements in its AI technology."
"Scale plays a key role in making AI data available for companies. Because AI is only as good as the data that goes into it, Scale uses scads of contract workers to tidy up and tag images, text and other data that can then be used for AI training."

The Wall Street Journal: "Meta Aims to Fully Automate Ad Creation Using AI"
$META $NVDA #ai

Some highlights...
"Using the ad tools Meta is developing, a brand could present an image of the product it wants to promote along with a budgetary goal, and AI would create the entire ad, including imagery, video and text."
"Meta also plans to enable advertisers to personalize ads using AI, so that users see different versions of the same ad in real time, based on factors such as geolocation, the people said."

I haven't received any crypto related question for many many months, but today it happened. This is while Bitcoin is hovering around $104 k. Is retail entering?
It was about something called: M3 MarsVerse. I don't know what it is and have no intention of finding out either. Told him to stay away. Don't think he'll listen. ☹️

Gucci desperate? $KER.PA
Gucci and Kering not doing very well. Stock price is one indicator, this is another one. Almost a desperate move.
https://blossom.primal.net/1a29580ab6b312c88cb513e5096354ad7d12a637982b9efaefd513911d4aa0f1.png
Lets see if newly appointed creative director Demna Gvasalia can turn things around.
I'm not a fan of Demna's clothes by any means, but there's no denying his massive impact on fashion the last 10 years. More so than any other designer during this period.
His work at Vetements and Balenciaga will written about in books.
Starting Vetements and taking it from nothing to the biggest hype in fashion in such a short period of time was an amazing feat. I don't think I've witnessed anything similar before nor after.
And then taking Balenciaga from a sleeping brand no one was paying attention to to the most hyped one, surpassing even Vetements.
The Kering group consists of more brands than Gucci of course, but Gucci's share of the revenues is above 40%. If Demna is successful here, Kering will probably be out of the woods.
Not buying the clothes and not buying the stock.
Speaking of, the only Gucci I care about, Gucci Mane! Legend! ❤️🙌

Strategy $MSTR - Q1 2025 Earnings Call
This was interesting. Watched the whole thing yesterday. Yes, the complete two hours. Not only that, I think I'll have to rewatch it because it was packed with so much info it was a lot to take in. Especially if you were doing something else at the same time.
The company is doing exactly what it should be doing: finding fiat money wherever it can in order to buy bitcoin. All fine and dandy. I don't really care if they show a profit or loss in the short term, new FASB accounting standards.or not. Even though the software part of Strategy is more or less a side business these days. I would have liked the software revenues to not decline 3.6% year over year as they did. No biggie though.
I say this as a shareholder of Strategy. Where it gets a little more worrying is the concentration of bitcoin within one entity and with such a fierce pace. From an ideological perspective I'd prefer less concentration.
How are they even able to buy such large amounts pf bitcoin outside of the open market (I'm guessing here), who are these people selling it to them and why? I sure ain't.
When I bought the stock for the first time I could never have imagined the company would have acquired over 550 000 bitcoin some years later. It's truly astonishing how many they have now.
During the last quarter Strategy have mostly been diluting shares in order to raise funds, taking on debt not so much. All things being equal I'd prefer more of a balance between the two. I'm guessing raising debt to buy more bitcoin is harder than anticipated.
All in all I'm very happy with the company's performance. It has grown to become my largest stock holding by far. It passed Hermès $RMS.PA October last year. Hats of to Saylor and the rest of the company.

It's tough out there for sure. I'm not sure the average person can absorb the higher prices without breaking a sweat.
76 footwear companies signed this. Hopefully this will all be sorted out in the near future.

I think you're spot on here.
I also think it's up to us as bitcoiners to do our part to get things rolling. I started accepting bitcoin at my business last year. Not much success, even with a good discount, but I'm not giving up. I wrote a post about it:
https://primal.net/e/nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzq8lg2wj6wd6fky4xfs4x5vcjwyelqldrjm9p8s9pgh8szfuf8ev5qqsqnrvsgp45ppzu4p2tdssv8ccsqfsyzsl4zuq5gh884ecu8lu8crq4txxvz
I'm sure there at least or two people in this thread of yours that run their own business and can do a similar thing as I've done.
