- NVIDIA Deal Highlights Value of Tiny's Early Poolside Investment
Tiny's original US$250,000 seed investment in Poolside is now ascribed a value of about US$11.1 million (C$15.8 million), roughly 44 times the initial cost, based on NVIDIA's reported financing terms. The deal pairs a US$6 billion technology licence with a US$1 billion investment in Poolside at a US$13 billion post-money valuation. Tiny's estimate applies that valuation to its roughly 0.0854% indirect stake and excludes its separate shares in Poolside Infrastructure Company (PIC), to which no value has been assigned. Tiny says its core strategy remains majority ownership of durable, cash-generating businesses, with Poolside a small, selective minority investment.
- Anthropic Gives 5% of Itself to the Public. Musk Answers by Giving Away SpaceX Shares
Anthropic will commit 5% of its shares to a new Public Benefit Fund, subject to stockholder approval, and says roughly 20% of its stock will go to public causes once co-founder and employee pledges are counted. Elon Musk responded by promising one SpaceX share to every U.S. child next year, a giveaway worth more than $10 billion at current prices. The fund follows a draft AI safety bill Anthropic pitched to lawmakers, which would let the government block models posing a risk of killing or injuring more than 50 people or causing over $1 billion in damage. Anthropic is preparing an IPO as soon as November at a reported valuation of around $2 trillion, which would put its 5% stake at about $100 billion on paper rather than in cash. The fund is a wholly owned LLC rather than a nonprofit, and it cannot be used for lobbying or political donations.
- Why CoreWeave Struggles Could Weigh Down Nvidia Stock
CoreWeave (CRWV) shares plunged last week over concerns about rising interest rates and its heavy debt load, and are down well over 20% over the past month. Nvidia (NVDA) is also exposed, having invested billions in CoreWeave and being one of its major customers, though its stock has fallen only about 2% over the past month. With a market cap of around $5.2 trillion, Nvidia trades at a forward P/E of 25 and a PEG of about 0.48, below the 1.0 level the article uses to define a cheap stock, but this valuation rests on expected growth. The article warns that doubts about Nvidia's growth could trigger a steep correction, citing tech firms making their own chips and possible AI spending cuts if interest rates rise.

CTCP Nhiệt điện Quảng Ninh (QTP) says its board approved the EPC contract for package 05 of its flue gas treatment upgrade project, signed with the SEC-Pacific joint venture of Shanghai Electric Group and CTCP Tập đoàn Thái Bình Dương on a fixed-price basis. The contract is worth over 89.75 million USD and nearly 902 billion VND, about 3,271 billion VND in total, with 38 months to complete.
