Perma Bull and Wall Street Strategist Tom Lee Is Betting $250 Million On This Cryptocurrency (Hint: Not Bitcoin)

Perma Bull and Wall Street Strategist Tom Lee Is Betting $250 Million On This Cryptocurrency (Hint: Not Bitcoin)

Globe and Mail7 days ago
Given Strategy 's (formerly MicroStrategy) success as a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) treasury company, many other companies are now following in its footsteps.
For those unaware, Strategy, formerly a business intelligence company founded by Michael Saylor, who remains the company's executive chairman, began using corporate capital to buy Bitcoin in 2020. The stock has rocketed since then, and eventually, Saylor and Strategy gained enough credibility to tap the capital markets for funding that it could then use to buy Bitcoin. This essentially made Strategy a leveraged play on Bitcoin.

Recently, Bitmine Immersion Companies (NYSEMKT: BMNR), a Bitcoin mining company, just named the prolific Wall Street strategist Tom Lee of Fundstrat as its chairman. The company also announced a $250 million private placement, which it will use to purchase Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), the world's second-largest cryptocurrency by market value.
Is it Ethereum's time?
Since Donald Trump won the presidential election last November, several of the largest cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and XRP, have done quite well. Ethereum, not so much.
Bitcoin Price data by YCharts
It's hard to pinpoint exactly why Ethereum has not shared in the gains, but perhaps a better explanation is that Bitcoin and XRP have simply enjoyed more catalysts. Bitcoin has benefited from being viewed as a form of digital gold, while XRP has surged as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) ended its long-standing lawsuit against Ripple, the company behind XRP, and due to the possible launch of spot-XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
The underperformance has opened the door for investors who feel like Ethereum is being unjustly left behind, Lee being one of them. Not only has Lee become a well-known contributor on CNBC, but he's made some prescient calls in recent years on the price of the broader market, as well as Bitcoin. Lee is typically bullish and nailed bull market calls in 2023 and 2024. Lee has previously said he thinks the broader benchmark S&P 500 could hit 15,000 by 2030 (the index now trades at about 6,200). He's also quite bullish on Ethereum as the crypto and financial sectors become more integrated, as he recently said on CNBC:
The financial services industry and crypto are converging and it really started with stablecoins, which is the ChatGPT of crypto because it's viral adoption by consumers, business banks and now even Visa. Underneath the stablecoin industry is Ethereum -- that is really the backbone and architecture of stablecoins so it's important to create a project that accumulates Ethereum to essentially protect and have some influence on the network.
As a reminder, stablecoins are digital assets pegged to a currency or commodity. They are intended to take advantage of the technology behind the blockchain while leaving behind the volatility associated with cryptocurrencies. Many believe they could be extremely helpful for those without access to the banking system because you can use them to transfer money anywhere with internet access.
Lee thinks banks could use Ethereum's proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism to secure stablecoin issuances in the future. PoS involves selecting validators based on the number of Ether tokens users have to confirm transactions and mint new blocks.
In a way, Ethereum is already a core part of the plumbing of the burgeoning stablecoin network. That's because it's one of the most commonly used blockchain networks in the U.S. Circle's USDC, the second-largest stablecoin, with a market cap of about $61 billion, is an ERC-20 token, meaning it was initially created on Ethereum's blockchain. Lee also noted that more than 30% of fees generated on Ethereum are from stablecoins.
Is Ethereum about to go on a Bitcoin-like run?
Part of Lee and Bitmine's bet on Ethereum has to do with the stablecoin market. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has already said he thinks stablecoins could go from a $250 billion market today to $2 trillion. If that happens, Lee thinks Ethereum's network is likely to benefit immensely because of all the network fees, which will perhaps make Ethereum more ubiquitous.
Interestingly, since the news of Tom Lee joining as chairman and the $250 million private placement, Bitmine's stock has soared more than 1,300% (as of July 1), although Ethereum's price hasn't moved much. Remember, cryptocurrencies are difficult to value because they don't generate earnings like a company.
I've been surprised that Ethereum's price has stayed so muted while Bitcoin has soared. As a cryptocurrency, Ethereum certainly has one of the best use cases due to all of the activity on its network from decentralized applications and its proof-of-staking concept, so I think it could be due for a run at some point.

NP View: Mark Carney needs a chainsaw, not a scalpel

Article content Prime Minister Mark Carney came into office promising to deal with the trade threat from the United States and get our economic house in order. But he's likely quickly realizing that he'll also have to deal with his predecessor's reckless spending habits. If Canada is to avoid fiscal doom, Carney and his finance minister will need to take a page out of the playbook of Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin, and get serious about cutting spending. Article content Last week, the C.D. Howe Institute released an alarming report estimating that this year's budget deficit could surpass $92 billion — a 115 per cent increase over the government's estimate in December. And the overspending isn't expected to be temporary unless drastic changes are made: while the government's fall economic statement forecast that the deficit would steadily decline to $18.7 billion by the 2029-30 fiscal year, C.D. Howe predicts it will remain above $77 billion for each of the next four years. (Attempting to paper over the mess by separating the operating and capital budgets, as Carney plans to do, won't change this stark reality.) Article content Article content It appears as though the government has taken notice. This week, Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne sent letters to his cabinet colleagues asking them to find ways to cut spending by 7.5 per cent in 2026-27, 10 per cent the following year and 15 per cent in 2028-29. Within days, public servants working in numerous departments received letters informing them about an impending spending review and warning that job losses could follow. Article content The mood in Ottawa is a little like it was in the mid-1990s, when Canada faced a debt crisis that the newly elected Chrétien government took drastic steps to address. The big difference back then, however, was that the Liberals campaigned on a platform to 'reduce the deficit,' 'implement new programs only if they can be funded within existing expenditures' and 'exercise unwavering discipline in controlling federal spending' by 'cancelling unnecessary programs, streamlining processes and eliminating duplication.' Article content Contrast that with the situation we face today. For years, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau governed like a Soviet kid in a candy store, inventing costly new social programs and increasing the size of the federal public service by a whopping 43 per cent over 10 years. To deal with the effects of the pandemic, he doubled the national debt. And when the threat of the virus subsided, his government pointed to its relatively low debt-to-GDP ratio and rock-bottom interest rates as reasons why the spending spree should continue unabated. Article content Then Carney came along to clean up Trudeau's mess. But instead of campaigning on an austerity platform, as Chrétien did in 1993, he promised voters more goodies — $130-billion worth over the next four years. Now, he's facing a public service that's grown fat on a diet of foie gras and caviar, and an electorate that's not at all primed for the drastic changes that will be necessary to turn the fiscal ship around. Article content Although the situations faced by Carney and the '90s-era Liberals may be different in style, there are remarkable similarities in terms of substance. It's true that the federal government's debt-to-GDP ratio is much lower now — 50 per cent in 2023, compared to 65 per cent in 1996, according to IMF data. But that's partly because many services were unloaded onto other levels of government. Add in provincial debt and the ratio rises to 107 per cent — even higher than in 1996, when it topped out at 100 per cent. Article content We are very much in uncharted territory when it comes to government deficits and debt. In 1992-93, the last year of the Mulroney government, the budget deficit sat at $39 billion, which is equivalent to $75 billion in today's money. And the national debt topped out at $562.9 billion in 1996-97, or just over $1 trillion in real dollars. Today, Canada is facing a deficit that could max out at over $92 billion and a debt load of over $1.266 trillion. Article content Meanwhile, unlike in the '90s when Canada was signing free-trade deals with the U.S. and Mexico, we're now in the midst of a trade war with our largest trading partner that threatens to tank the economy, thus reducing tax revenues and increasing demand for social services. Carney has also promised much-needed reforms to make Canada more competitive and ensure we're capable of defending ourselves in an increasingly volatile world. Article content But the promised tax cuts and hefty increases in defence spending will place a significant burden on the public treasury. And the Liberals have already pledged not to cut transfers to other levels of government — which represent about one-fifth of all government expenses — or Trudeau's costly social programs, such as socialized dental care, pharmacare and childcare. Article content Canadians would thus be right to be skeptical about the Liberals' sudden conversion from free-spending socialists to nominal fiscal conservatives. But the experience of the 1990s — when both the Chrétien government in Canada and the Clinton administration in the U.S. balanced their respective budgets — teaches us that sometimes left-wing governments have an easier time making necessary cuts than their conservative counterparts. It's somewhat of a political paradox, but one we hope Carney takes seriously as he attempts to dig Canada out of Trudeau's fiscal hole. Article content

10 Brilliant Growth Stocks to Buy Now and Hold for the Long Term

Key Points Technology remains at the heart of most growth opportunities. Artificial intelligence and the data centers needed to house these platforms are also key growth drivers. A handful of stocks from the healthcare arena are also capitalizing on contemporary technological developments. 10 stocks we like better than Amazon › Are you looking for passive growth investments with staying power that you won't need to constantly monitor? That's a combination that doesn't often co-exist for any individual stock. There are some exceptions, however. Here's a rundown of 10 such growth stocks that would be at home in nearly any growth-minded investor's portfolio. Still worthy after all these years It's such a commonly suggested pick that it's almost become a cliché. Nevertheless, e-commerce and cloud computing giant Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) remains one of the market's most promising long-term growth prospects. Yes, plenty of other companies like Walmart and Shopify are finally figuring out how to keep Amazon in check. These other players aren't exactly dethroning Amazon, though. Market research outfit Digital Commerce 360 reports Amazon's leading share of North America's e-commerce market is holding strong at around 40%, while Synergy Research Group says Amazon Web Services' share of global cloud computing is a market-leading 29%. Amazon may not be adding market share on either front, but being the biggest name in both businesses helps it maintain its share of each. As long as the e-commerce and cloud computing markets keep growing -- and they're each expected to -- Amazon remains a serious growth engine. Plugged into the semiconductor industry's ongoing growth While Amazon is a household name, Lam Research (NASDAQ: LRCX) is anything but. Don't let its lack of notoriety fool you, though. It's an important player within the ever-growing semiconductor market. No, Lam doesn't make microchips. It makes the equipment used to manufacture microchips. Thin-film layering, plasma etching, wafer-cleaning, plus the software needed to operate these technologies are all in its wheelhouse, and more. Chipmakers Intel, Samsung, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing are some of its customers, for perspective. Yes, other companies also make semiconductor manufacturing tools. Making microchips is a complicated process with many different specialized steps, though. Few other players in the business are able to offer the specific solutions that Lam Research can, however, just as no other name in the business can provide ASML 's ultraviolet lithography technology, or offer Axcelis Technologies ' ion implanters. We need all these tools, including Lam's. And that need isn't going away anytime soon. It's only going to grow, in fact. An outlook from Precedence Research suggests the worldwide semiconductor market is set to double in size between now and 2034. Growth in a social and economic silo is still growth Amazon may be the powerhouse e-commerce name where you live, but that's not the case everywhere. In its home country of China, Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) is king, with collective control of about 40% of that online shopping market (according to numbers from wealth management firm DBS Treasures). It's doing pretty well with several of China's neighboring countries, too. All told, Alibaba's Tmall and Taobao e-commerce platforms did nearly $20 billion worth of business last year, up 29% year over year. And yet, this company's got far more ways to make money. It operates a logistics and delivery arm, a digital entertainment business, and perhaps most important, a cloud computing division that's also waist-deep into artificial intelligence. Remember the Qwen platform that posed a credible threat to ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, and then-buzzy DeepSeek earlier this year? Well, Qwen is Alibaba's developmental AI. As long as the Pacific Rim chooses to build its economy and technological landscape in a manner that's somewhat walled off from the Western world's, Alibaba stock is a growth investment that's parallel to -- rather than overlapping with -- Amazon. The growing norm in operating rooms Given how technology has become the centerpiece of most aspects of our lives, it should come as no surprise that it's also now frequently found within the healthcare industry. It's even found within operating rooms, in the tools used by surgeons. And one company dominates this sliver of the market: Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG). It makes the da Vinci surgical robot that's becoming the go-to solution for performing a growing number of surgical procedures ranging from hysterectomies to mitral vale repair to gastric sleeves to colostomies, just to name a few. Intuitive Surgical reports its da Vinci robots helped perform nearly 2.7 million procedures last year, up 17% from 2023's count. Here's the thing -- this still only scratches the surface of the tool's potential. Intuitive Surgical regularly adds capabilities to the da Vinci's toolkit at the same time more and more surgeons become qualified to use it, making them more likely to use this tech on one of the 300 million surgical procedures performed worldwide every year. Simultaneously, Intuitive Surgical is still developing new solutions like the Ion for lung biopsies and Hub, which records and shares surgical procedures. Analysts are calling for 25% top-line growth from Intuitive Surgical this year, to be followed by 15% and 17% revenue growth in 2026 and 2027, respectively. This is likely only a taste of what's to come further down the road, as this tech continues to prove itself. You've actually never heard of most software You're certainly familiar with Microsoft 's Windows operating system, and you may well be a regular user of its office productivity tools like Word and Excel. What you may not realize, however, is that most software is so industry-specific that you've likely never even heard of it. Case in point: Cadence Design Systems ' (NASDAQ: CDNS) Fidelity CFD (computational fluid dynamics) that digitally tests the behavior of fluids under certain conditions, or its Allegro X Design Platform, used to make printed circuit boards. Most people would never need such a specialized solution. But the few who need these tools desperately need them to do their job, and will pay a premium to gain access to them. This marketability is only part of the argument for buying and holding this stock for the long haul, however. Even more compelling is the fact that 80% of Cadence's revenue is now recurring revenue, meaning its customers are making ongoing, regular payments to access this software. It's much easier -- and cheaper -- to retain a customer than win one in the first place. A new kind of networking solution Cisco Systems may be the biggest name in the networking business, but it's not necessarily the best investment opportunity within the industry. That honor arguably belongs to smaller Arista Networks (NYSE: ANET). At first blush, the two companies seem similar enough. As was noted, both are networking solutions providers, offering a range of switches and buffers. There is a nuanced but important difference between these two outfits, though. That is, most of Arista's tech is built around its Extensible Operating System that can be updated and/or rewritten as merited. Because its switches are always equipped to meet ever-changing functionality needs, they will remain useful for longer. This ultimately translates into lower lifetime equipment costs for campuses, telecommunications service providers, and the like. Analysts are looking for sales growth of more than 19% this year and next, although this pace of growth is apt to last far longer in light of the solution that Arista brings to the table. Think small for big growth and big profits Most investors have heard of Vertex Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: VRTX). Most people, however, would be hard-pressed to name a single drug it makes. But that's kind of the point. It's predominantly a specialty pharma company, focusing on relatively rare diseases and underserved markets. Vertex is really, really good at what it does. Last year's revenue of just over $11 billion was up 12% from 2023's sales, and the company is looking for sales of nearly $12 billion this year following two key approvals. If all goes as expected, 2025 is going to mark the pharma company's 11th straight year of double-digit revenue growth. Given its pipeline that includes two phase 3 clinical trials in addition to four phase 2 trials, however, it's certainly possible that firmly profitable Vertex can keep the streak alive for far longer than that. If it works, it works You've probably never heard of Coupang (NYSE: CPNG). But don't sweat it. It's relatively new as well as relatively small. And, although headquartered in the United States, it mostly serves the South Korean market. The company did $30 billion worth of business last year, up 24%. But what is it? Like so many other technology companies these days, it's a little bit of everything. Its core business is e-commerce and delivery of online orders, but its distinguishing detail is its exposure to the grocery and restaurant-prepared food delivery market. Yet it's also a major middleman for entertainment events -- digital as well as in-person -- an online payment platform, and a seller of luxury goods. The thing is, this disjointed assembly of ventures seems to work, perhaps because the company's management fully understands its core geographic market and its consumers. Electric vehicle mania is still alive and well ... in China U.S. consumers may have lost their lovin' feelin' for electric vehicles, just as the U.S. electric vehicle industry lost much of its political support (in the form of subsidies). But this isn't the case outside of the United States. The rest of the world still loves the idea of emissions-free electric vehicles, including most foreign governments. And it's particularly true in China, where EV maker Nio (NYSE: NIO) is located, and where it does the bulk of its growing business. It delivered nearly 222,000 electric cars in 2024, up 39% from the previous year's count. This growth pace has persisted into the first half of this year as well, boosted by sustained demand for electric vehicles in China and its neighbors. Indeed, the International Energy Administration says electric vehicles accounted for nearly half of China's automobile sales in 2024. There's plenty more where that came from, too. The IEA adds that by 2030, this proportion should reach 80% of the country's total vehicle sales. The data center industry can't grow without it Finally, add Applied Digital (NASDAQ: APLD) to your list of brilliant growth stocks to buy and hold for the long haul. It's an opportunity hiding in plain sight. The rapid growth of artificial intelligence data centers? Most investors are so focused on the technology being used inside them that they're not even thinking about who's building the buildings themselves. It's Applied Digital, for one, which is arguably the best and most (if not only) investment-worthy one. It's easier said than done. As you likely know, AI data centers are incredibly power-hungry, so much so that onsite nuclear power is being considered as a cost-effective source of the electricity they need. Applied Digital isn't just stacking up processors. It's figuring out how to provide the power that data centers need at the lowest cost possible. This might put things in perspective. Although this year's forecasted top-line growth of more than 34% is likely to cool to nearly nil next year, this company's revenue is expected to more than double in 2027, and then triple this year's sales in 2028.

This Stock Outperformed Nvidia and Palantir in the First Half. Is It Still a Buy?

Key Points CoreWeave stock surged by 300% in just a few months. The company is benefiting from high demand for computing power to support AI training and inferencing. 10 stocks we like better than CoreWeave › Over the past couple of years, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) have both shown their strengths in artificial intelligence (AI) -- and as a result, their earnings and stock performance have soared. Last year, Nvidia was the best-performing component in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (though it only was added to the venerable blue chip index in November), and Palantir posted the biggest gain in the S&P 500. Both of these players have continued to advance, and considering that we're in the early stages of the AI boom, more earnings growth and stock price gains could be on the way. But, in the first half of 2025, another company emerged as a potential AI powerhouse. In fact, this particular stock actually outperformed Nvidia and Palantir in the period, climbing by a mind-boggling 300%. Now you may be wondering whether this high flyer is still a buy. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » A company with close ties to Nvidia This top-performing AI stock actually is new to the market, completing its initial public offering in late March, so its triple-digit gains took place over a period of only three months. I'm referring to CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV), a company that is closely linked to Nvidia. This is because CoreWeave generates most of its revenue by renting out access to its vast collection of Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs). The company has more than 250,000 of them deployed across its cloud infrastructure platform, and it specializes in handling AI workloads, offering customers the configurations they need to accomplish their goals faster. CRWV data by YCharts. Nvidia owns a 7% stake in CoreWeave, and made it possible for the young company to be the first to launch its latest GPUs. In February, CoreWeave became the first hyperscaler to make Nvidia's new Blackwell architecture broadly available -- and it just did the same recently with the latest iteration, Blackwell Ultra. So, a bet on CoreWeave is a bet on demand for Nvidia's latest chips. Its first-quarter earnings report showed this demand is going strong, as its revenue climbed by more than 400% year over year, and Nvidia's own Q1 earnings report offered additional clues: For example, Nvidia said it saw a leap in demand for inferencing computing power in the quarter. This sort of trend is likely to benefit CoreWeave. GPUs to fuel inferencing Inferencing is the process an AI model goes through when attempting to answer complex questions -- and it takes significant parallel processing power of the type provided by GPUs and other AI accelerators. As more people and organizations apply AI to real-world problems, inferencing could drive a whole new era of growth for companies like Nvidia and CoreWeave. It's important to remember that the need for GPUs doesn't end once a model is trained. CoreWeave's fleet of cloud servers may have plenty of busy days ahead over the long term. All of this is great, but CoreWeave still carries some risk for shareholders -- and that's due to the enormous and ongoing investments in infrastructure required to serve demand for GPUs. The company will have to keep up its capital spending to increase the size and power of its fleet of GPU clusters, and considering that Nvidia aims to roll out new chip architectures annually, CoreWeave will have to make those investments frequently to keep its offerings top of the line. All of this makes it difficult to estimate when CoreWeave will reach profitability. In the first quarter, its technology and infrastructure expenses surged by more than 500% to about $500 million, and it's fair to say the company is early in its growth story. It's also important to note that CoreWeave is in an expansion phase that involves other investments too. Some of those up-front costs may result in savings down the road. Acquiring Core Scientific One example is the company's recently announced plan to buy Core Scientific -- once that deal closes, CoreWeave no longer will have to pay rent to the data center operator, resulting in the savings of $10 billion in future lease payments. Though this will be a positive, CoreWeave's stock fell after the announcement earlier this week due to investors' concerns about share dilution -- it's an all-stock deal with a value of $9 billion. Investors also know that any acquisition comes with some risks and costs, as the buyer will have to integrate its new operations into its existing business. So the question remains: After strongly outperforming two of the market's biggest AI companies year to date, is CoreWeave still a buy? The answer depends on your investment strategy. If you're a cautious or value investor, you'd be better off exploring other opportunities. But if you're an aggressive investor who buys and holds stocks for the long term, now would still be a good time to add a few CoreWeave shares to your portfolio -- demand for AI and CoreWeave's immediate access to Nvidia's latest GPUs could result in major gains over the long run.
