Ark Invest's Cathie Wood Says Team Trump Would Give 'Regulatory Clarity' For Bitcoin And Other Digital Assets: '…Which They May Put In The Treasury's Strategic Reserve'
Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, has shared her insights on the potential impact of a Trump administration on Bitcoin BTC/USD and decentralized finance (DeFi). Wood believes that the administration could bring much-needed “regulatory clarity” to the fintech sector, particularly if Gary Gensler steps down from his position.
What Happened: During a webinar prerecorded on Nov. 15 and published on Friday, Wood discussed how the Trump administration might influence the digital asset revolution, led by Bitcoin.
“If Gary Gensler leaves, that is going to open us up to regulatory clarity and probably, given the Trump administration’s pronouncements over the last few month, give much more focus on digital asset revolution, broadly led by Bitcoin, which they may put in the Treasury’s strategic reserve,” she said.
Wood suggested the possibility of adding Bitcoin to the U.S. Treasury’s strategic reserve, given the current circulation of over 19 million Bitcoin and a cap of 21 million. According to Wood, the government might aim to acquire 1 million Bitcoins over time.
Regarding DeFi, Wood highlighted the potential for peer-to-peer lending to remove intermediaries in financial transactions. Yassin Elmandjra, ARK’s director of digital assets, noted the accelerating trend of using cryptocurrency for commerce, driven by technological and regulatory advancements.
Elmandjra stressed the importance of governments establishing clear regulations on compliance, tax implications, and consumer protection to enable businesses to navigate the evolving landscape effectively.
Why It Matters: Wood’s predictions come amidst her ambitious price targets for Bitcoin, including a bull case of $3.8 million if more companies incorporate the cryptocurrency into their balance sheets. However, a recent Benzinga survey revealed skepticism, with 83% of respondents doubting this target will be met by 2030.
Additionally, ARK Invest has identified an “uptrend” in Bitcoin’s market structure, attributed to oversold conditions in the Stablecoin Supply Ratio Oscillator (SSRO). This indicator, which measures Bitcoin’s potential purchasing power, hit a significant low in September, a level not seen since the 2022 bear market. The SSRO is calculated by dividing Bitcoin’s supply by the supply of major stablecoins, providing insights into Bitcoin’s market dynamics.
Price Action: As per Benzinga Pro, at 8:03 am ET, Bitcoin was trading at $98,764.01, Ethereum ETH/USD at $3,345.98 and Dogecoin DOGE/USD was at $0.4045. In the past 14 days, post the elections, Bitcoin’s value experienced 29.9% increase, Ethereum increased by 14.7% and Dogecoin saw a 105.5% hike.
Meanwhile, ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF ARKB, which provides exposure to bitcoin which is kept in cold storage was trading only slightly higher at 0.58% during pre-market hours.

Verizon announces early results for tender offers for six series of debt securities and extension of early participation date
NEW YORK, Nov. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Verizon Communications Inc. (“Verizon”) ((NYSE, NASDAQ:VZ) today announced, in connection with Verizon’s previously announced Offers (as defined below) to purchase its outstanding Securities (as defined below) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated November 7, 2024 (the “Offer to Purchase”): (1) the early participation results for the Offers as of 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on November 21, 2024 (the “Original Early Participation Date”) and (2) that, with respect to the Offers, the date and time by which Holders (as defined below) must validly tender their Securities to receive the applicable Total Consideration (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) and Accrued Coupon Payment (as defined below), has been extended to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on December 9, 2024 (such date and time with respect to an Offer, the “Extended Early Participation Date”). Accordingly, the Extended Early Participation Date will occur at the same time the Offers are scheduled to expire. Except as described in this press release, the terms and conditions of the Offers remain unchanged.
The deadline to validly withdraw tenders of Securities was not modified by Verizon and the withdrawal rights for each Offer expired at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on November 21, 2024. The Offers will expire at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on December 9, 2024 (the “Expiration Date”), unless extended or earlier terminated by Verizon.
The table below sets forth the early participation results, as of the Original Early Participation Date, for Verizon’s previously announced six separate offers to purchase for cash, with respect to the outstanding series of debt securities (each a “Security” and collectively, the “Securities”) listed in the table below. Verizon refers to each offer to purchase a Security for cash as an “Offer” and all the offers to purchase the Securities, collectively as the “Offers.”
Verizon was advised by Global Bondholder Services Corporation, as the tender agent, that as of the Original Early Participation Date, the aggregate principal amounts of the Securities specified in the table below were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn:
| Acceptance Priority Level |
CUSIP Number(s) | Title of Security | Principal Amount Outstanding |
Principal Amount Tendered as of the Original Early Participation Date |
Percentage of Amount Outstanding Tendered as of the Original Early Participation Date |
||||||||
| 1 | 92343VEN0 / 92343VEB6 / U9221AAY4 | 3.376% notes due 2025 | $1,287,477,000 | $490,854,000 | 38.13% | ||||||||
| 2 | 92343VEP5 | Floating Rate notes due 2025 | $873,918,000 | $373,004,000 | 42.68% | ||||||||
| 3 | 92343VFS8 | 0.850% notes due 2025 | $1,232,569,000 | $542,142,000 | 43.98% | ||||||||
| 4 | 92343VGG3 | 1.450% notes due 2026 | $1,653,140,000 | $803,974,000 | 48.63% | ||||||||
| 5 | 92343VGE8 | Floating Rate notes due 2026 | $493,127,000 | $252,796,000 | 51.26% | ||||||||
| 6 | 92343VDD3 | 2.625% notes due 2026 | $1,776,821,000 | $771,770,000 | 43.44% | ||||||||
Verizon’s obligation to accept Securities tendered in the Offers is subject to the terms and conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including, among other things, the Acceptance Priority Procedures. The Offers are not conditioned on any minimum amount of Securities being tendered, and none of the Offers is conditioned on the consummation of any of the other Offers.
All conditions applicable to the Offers as of the Original Early Participation Date were deemed satisfied by Verizon, or timely waived by Verizon. Accordingly, Verizon will settle all Securities validly tendered at or prior to the Original Early Participation Date and accepted for purchase, on November 26, 2024 (the “Early Settlement Date”), subject to the terms of the Offers.
Promptly after 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) today, November 22, 2024, Verizon will issue a press release specifying, among other things, (i) the aggregate principal amount of Securities accepted in each Offer, (ii) the offer yield for each series of fixed-rate Securities, which is equal to the sum of (a) the applicable reference yield, which shall be based on the bid-side price of the applicable Reference U.S. Treasury Security (specified in the Offer to Purchase for such series of Securities) as quoted on the applicable Bloomberg reference page (specified in the Offer to Purchase for such series of Securities) as of 10:00 a.m. Eastern time, today, November 22, 2024, plus (b) the fixed spread for the applicable series of fixed-rate Securities and (iii) the Total Consideration for each series of fixed-rate Securities. The Total Consideration for each series of Securities includes an early participation payment of $50 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities.
Because the aggregate Total Consideration of the Securities validly tendered at or prior to the Original Early Participation Date and accepted for purchase is expected to not exceed the Waterfall Cap (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), Verizon will, until the Expiration Date, continue to accept for purchase all Securities validly tendered after the Original Early Participation Date, subject to all conditions having been satisfied or waived by Verizon with respect to the Offers. The Final Settlement Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) is expected to be the second business day after the applicable Expiration Date, unless extended with respect to any Offer.
On each relevant settlement date, holders of Securities (each, a “Holder” and collectively, “Holders”) that are validly tendered and accepted for purchase by Verizon will receive the applicable Total Consideration, in cash, and an additional cash payment equal to the accrued and unpaid interest on such Securities to, but not including, the relevant settlement date (the “Accrued Coupon Payment”).
Verizon has retained BofA Securities, Inc., Santander US Capital Markets LLC, SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc. and TD Securities (USA) LLC to act as lead dealer managers for the Offers and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Academy Securities, Inc. and R. Seelaus & Co., LLC to act as co-dealer managers for the Offers. Questions regarding terms and conditions of the Offers should be directed to BofA Securities, Inc. at (980) 387-3907 (Collect) or (888) 292-0070 (Toll-Free), Santander US Capital Markets LLC at (212) 350-0660 (Collect) or (855) 404-3636 (Toll Free), SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc. at (212) 224-5163 (Collect) or (888) 284-9760 (Toll Free), or TD Securities (USA) LLC at (212) 827-2842 (Collect) or (866) 584-2096 (Toll-Free).

“Our strong Q3 results are a testament to the success of our refining strategy and the resilience of our integrated supply chain,” said Jonathan Taylor, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sucro. “Increased refining volumes at our Hamilton and Lackawanna refineries have driven significant revenue growth and operational efficiencies. These achievements underscore our ability to scale production and meet rising customer demand while maintaining profitability.”
Taylor added, “As we continue executing on our capacity expansion projects, including our upcoming Hamilton and University Park refineries, we are well-positioned to deliver on our long-term growth plans.”
Taylor further commented “Alongside our efforts to continually improve the output of our Lackawanna and Hamilton facilities, we continue to be focused on executing our refinery expansion projects in both Hamilton and Chicago. The Hamilton refinery construction has made significant progress and we believe we are well positioned to begin refinery operations on or ahead of schedule. We will provide a further detailed update alongside our year-end results for 2024.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, customer deliveries increased by 48% compared with the three months ended September 30, 2023, from 122,243 MTs in 2023 to 181,023 MTs in 2024, primarily due to an increase in our wholesale distribution volumes, but also from the 54% volume increase shipped from our Lackawanna and Hamilton refineries.
Adjusted EBITDA was $8.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, which was essentially flat compared with $8.2 million for the corresponding 2023 period, a 1.2% increase. The Adjusted Gross Profit was $14.0 million, a 6.6% increase from the corresponding 2023 period, driven by a combination of significantly higher wholesale distribution volumes, with particular reference to Mexico and world market shipments) and lower adjusted gross profit margins from the refinery volumes. EBITDA was $15.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared with $11.3 million for the corresponding 2023 period, a 36.6% increase driven primarily by higher volumes and higher unrealized mark-to-market gains on physical sugar contracts and inventory.
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2024, amounted to $7.4 million, an increase of $5.4 million compared to net income of $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was driven primarily by higher unrealized mark-to-market gains on physical sugar contracts.
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024, increased by 23.7%, to $171.9 million, from $139.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was mainly driven by a combination of higher wholesale distribution volumes, particularly from Mexico and world sugar sales, higher average sugar prices during the quarter, and higher refined sugar volumes shipped from our refineries in Hamilton and Lackawanna.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, customer deliveries increased by 30.0% compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2023, from 380,895 MTs in 2023 to 494,974 MTs in 2024, primarily due to an increase in CIF (cost, insurance, and freight) world market raw sugar volumes sold to Latin American destinations and additional volumes shipped from our Lackawanna and Hamilton refineries.
Adjusted EBITDA was $27.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared with $24.8 million for the corresponding 2023 period, a 9.5% increase, mainly because of higher Adjusted Gross Profit ($44.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared with $39.7 million for the corresponding 2023 period). The increase in Adjusted Gross Profit was in turn driven by higher volumes (30.0% increase). Likewise, EBITDA was $60.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared with $59.6 million for the corresponding 2023 period, a 1.0% increase where higher Adjusted Gross Profit was offset by lower unrealized mark-to-market gains.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, amounted to $31.1 million, an increase of $0.8 million when compared to net income of $30.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was driven primarily by higher Adjusted Gross Profit, which was offset by higher interest expense relating primarily to increased average usage of our revolving working capital credit facility to support our growing operations.
