Bitcoin is the first successful internet money based on peer-to-peer technology; whereby no central bank or authority is involved in the transaction and production of the Bitcoin currency. It was created by an anonymous individual/group under the name, Satoshi Nakamoto. The source code is available publicly as an open source project, anybody can look at it and be part of the developmental process.  Bitcoin is changing the way we see money as we speak. The idea was to produce a means of exchange, independent of any central authority, that could be transferred electronically in a secure, verifiable and immutable way. It is a decentralized peer-to-peer internet currency making mobile payment easy, very low transaction fees, protects your identity, and it works anywhere all the time with no central authority and banks.  Bitcoin is designed to have only 21 million BTC ever created, thus making it a deflationary currency. Bitcoin uses the SHA-256 hashing algorithm with an average transaction confirmation time of 10 minutes. Miners today are mining Bitcoin using ASIC chip dedicated to only mining Bitcoin, and the hash rate has shot up to peta hashes.  Being the first successful online cryptography currency, Bitcoin has inspired other alternative currencies such as Litecoin, Peercoin, Primecoin, and so on.  The cryptocurrency then took off with the innovation of the turing-complete smart contract by Ethereum which led to the development of other amazing projects such as EOS, Tron, and even crypto-collectibles such as CryptoKitties.

Nikkei, Inc., the publisher of Japan's largest business newspaper and owner of the UK's Financial Times, said on Tuesday it has sued Perplexity&nbsp;AI in a Tokyo court and sought damages of 2.2 billion yen ($14.97 million) for copying and distributing its content without permission.The Asahi Shimbun Co., one of the oldest general news newspapers in the country, filed an identical suit on Tuesday, following a similar move by Japan's largest newspaper by circulation, the Yomiuri Shimbun.Complaints by Nikkei and the Asahi Shimbun, which also seek an injunction, state that Perplexity bypassed technical safeguards against content use and accessed their servers to gather articles.The AI company then created and disseminated summaries in breach of Japan's Copyright Act, and hurt the companies' commercial interests. In some cases, Perplexity's summarized articles were inaccurate, damaging the credibility of the publishers.Claims for copyright infringement are not new for Perplexity and the industry leader, OpenAI. In the home market, Perlexity is arguing its case in a lawsuit brought against it by Dow Jones, a financial news powerhouse, while The New York Times has sued the operator of ChatGPT.To mitigate, Perplexity has <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/perplexity-publishers-revenue-share-ai-searches/chssFa1Rd1Z">reportedly</a> offered to share its revenue with some publishers, according to a Bloomberg report on Monday.

Perplexity AI Inc. has reportedly offered news publishers a share in the revenue it generates from AI searches, amid concerns from outlets that&nbsp;features like these are eating into their web traffic and thereby, income.According to a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-25/perplexity-to-let-publishers-share-in-revenue-from-ai-searches">report</a> by Bloomberg, Perplexity has set aside $42.5 million to share with publishers as part of this program.“AI is helping to create a better internet, but publishers still need to get paid. So we think this is actually the right solution, and we're happy to make adjustments along the way,” said Perplexity’s co-founder and CEO, Aravind Srinivas, according to the report.According to the terms of Perplexity’s new AI search revenue sharing program, publishers will be able to earn money when their content appears in search queries in the startup’s Comet web browser, when Comet’s AI assistant uses this content to complete tasks, or when publishers receive traffic through the browser, the report said.The firm said it will pay for this program through the revenue it generates from Comet Plus, which is a new subscription option in the Comet web browser.&nbsp; Users will have to pay $5 a month to get a curated set of content from publishers who are a part of Perplexity’s new AI search revenue-sharing program, which is similar to Apple Inc.’s News+ service, according to Srinivas.However, while Apple shares with publishers only 50% of the revenue it generates through Apple News+, Perplexity will share 80%, according to the report.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/PERPLEXITY">Perplexity</a> is not a publicly listed entity currently.

OpenAI on Tuesday announced its cheapest ChatGPT subscription plan yet, starting with a rollout in India, according to a company blog post.The effort is meant to attract more users in India, the world's most populous country, and already ChatGPT's&nbsp;second-largest&nbsp;market.The new ChatGPT Go plan is priced at 399 rupees ($4.57) a month. That compares to the $20-a-month ChatGPT Plus, the most affordable plan earlier.The move echoes a similar strategy by streaming giant Netflix, which introduced a cheaper plan for mobile-only use, initially in India before expanding to other markets.Announcing the launch on the social media platform X, Vice President and head of the ChatGPT app Nick Turley <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/nickaturley/status/1957613818902892985">said</a> ChatGPT Go offers users 10 times higher message limits, image generation, and file uploads, and twice the memory compared to the free version."Making ChatGPT more affordable has been a key ask from users! We're rolling out Go in India first and will learn from feedback before expanding to other countries," Turley added.OpenAI currently offers two other paid plans: ChatGPT Plus, which costs 1,999 rupees a month in India or $20 internationally, and its top-tier ChatGPT Pro,&nbsp;which is priced at 19,900 rupees a month in India or $200 internationally.The development comes as rival Perplexity offers its Pro subscription, for free over a limited time, to top Indian colleges and to users through a partnership with telecom company Airtel.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/OPENAI">OpenAI</a> has accelerated the pace of new rollouts this year, with ChatGPT-5 being its biggest product update in the recent past.

The bid to own Google's Chrome browser might turn into a three-way contest.In an investor note following a Wall Street Journal report that Perplexity extended an unsolicited $34.5 billion offer to buy Chrome, RBC Capital Markets stated that OpenAI could comfortably place a higher bid should Google put the browser up for sale.Chrome is critical to ramping distribution for horizontal GenAI applications, and thus, OpenAI would potentially be prepared to pay significantly more for it in an auction scenario, the research firm said.The developments come as the U.S. Justice Department is pressuring Google to divest Chrome as one of the remedies to address its monopolistic position in the Internet search market, as deemed by a U.S. district court in August last year.RBC said the judge is expected to rule on the remedies for Google this month. If a forced auction is ordered, multiple potential buyers, including OpenAI, are likely to step forward.On Tuesday, the WSJ broke the news of <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/perplexity-wants-chrome-offers-34-5-billion-to-buy-it-from-google/chrx7x9RdJj">Perplexity's bid for Chrome</a>, adding that the AI firm has commitments from venture capital investors. The reported deal price is nearly twice Perplexity's last reported valuation.Brad Shimmin, from research firm Futurum Group, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJu659XEEnw">called</a> it a "dramatic shift in the AI infrastructure landscape," drawing parallels to the 1995 showdown between Firefox and Microsoft (MSFT) for the web browser on desktops."We're seeing the same thing play out today with Google, Perplexity, and frontier (AI) model makers like OpenAI vying for control over the AI experience on the web."Patrick Moorhead, CEO of technology advisory firm Moor Insights &amp; Strategy, believes the WSJ report was a “great PR stunt” by Perplexity. "If nothing else, it shows the importance of browser-based AI," he said in an <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/PatrickMoorhead/status/1955294098610700690">X post</a>.To be sure, OpenAI is better positioned than Perplexity to make significant purchases.

OpenAI May Outbid Perplexity’s $34.5B Offer For Chrome If Google Puts Browser On The Market: Analyst 

The U.S. Justice Department is pressuring Google to divest Chrome as part of its remedies to address Google’s monopolistic position in the Search market.

In a bold move against Google’s (GOOG/GOOGL) search dominance, artificial-intelligence firm Perplexity AI reportedly made a $34.5 billion bid for the Chrome browser on Tuesday.According to a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/perplexity-makes-longshot-34-5-billion-offer-for-chrome-5ddb7a22">report</a> by The Wall Street Journal, the proposed purchase price is nearly twice Perplexity’s $18 billion valuation and is fully financed by major venture-capital investors. It noted that while estimates of Chrome’s enterprise value vary, recent estimates have ranged from $20 billion to $50 billion.Google-parent&nbsp;<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/GOOG">Alphabet’s stock</a> rose more than 1% in midday trade. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits around the tech giant remained in ‘bearish’ territory over the past day. Meanwhile, retail sentiment around&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/PERPLEXITY">Perplexity AI</a> was in the ‘neutral’ zone.In a letter to CEO Sundar Pichai, Perplexity said its bid for Chrome was “designed to satisfy an antitrust remedy in the highest public interest by placing Chrome with a capable, independent operator,” according to the report.&nbsp;The company added that, if the deal went through, it would maintain and support Chromium and keep Google as the default search engine, while still allowing users to change settings. Chromium is the open-source project behind Chrome and other browsers.Perplexity’s move comes as U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/google-doj-trial-government-suggests-forward-looking-fixes-to-limit-google-s-ai-usage-for-online-search/chQiAZ3RbQF">weighs</a> whether to order Google to sell Chrome to weaken its grip on web search. Mehta found last year that Google had illegally monopolized the search market and is due to rule later this month on measures to boost competition.The offer may be intended to show the court there’s an immediate buyer for Chrome if a sale is ordered. Google has pushed back against the idea, with Pichai&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.courthousenews.com/google-warns-of-data-security-risks-if-chrome-is-sold-off/">warning</a> that it would harm the company’s business, slow investment, and create security threats. Chrome commands over 60% of the browser market and has an estimated 3.5 billion users worldwide.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/ethereum-price-tops-4400-for-first-time-since-2021-after-record-1-b-etf-inflow/chrxdFJRdJc">Ethereum’s Price Tops $4,400 For First Time Since 2021 After BMNR Plans Another $20B ETH Buy</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Perplexity Wants Chrome, Reportedly Offers $34.5B To Buy It From Google

According to The Wall Street Journal, the proposed purchase price of Chrome is nearly twice Perplexity’s $18 billion valuation and is fully financed by major venture-capital investors. 

Glade Brook Capital Partners, a tech-focused investment firm known for backing companies like SpaceX and Perplexity, has raised $515 million in its fourth fund.According to a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-22/stripe-spacex-investor-glade-brook-raises-515-million-for-new-fund">report</a> by Bloomberg, the Connecticut-based firm will continue targeting growth-stage investments in sectors including artificial intelligence, fintech, e-commerce, space, and defense.&nbsp;Despite strong demand for the fund, which raised more than its initial target, founder Paul Hudson said market conditions remain difficult. “It’s the most challenging fundraising environment that I’ve seen in my career,” he said.In the equities market, the&nbsp;<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/AIQ">Global X Artificial Intelligence &amp; Technology ETF (AIQ)</a> has gained nearly 15% this year. In pre-market trading on Monday, AIQ edged 0.16% higher, with retail sentiment on Stocktwits improving to ‘neutral’ territory from ‘bearish’ the day before.Founded in 2011, Glade Brook was an early investor in high-profile companies such as Uber Technologies (UBER) and Airbnb (ABNB), and has more recently participated in rounds for newer names like&nbsp;<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/perplexity">Perplexity</a>, an AI-powered search startup.Hudson noted that the firm’s track record in late-stage tech helped differentiate it in a crowded field and amid the broader slowdown in private tech investing. “We’re focused on durable companies with the ability to scale, even in a tough environment,” he said.Glade Brook holds stakes in high-profile companies including Stripe, Ramp, and Elon Musk’s Neuralink, as well as xAI. Its 2021 fund, which raised $430 million, ranks in the top 5% for its year, the report noted, citing figures from Cambridge Associates.Read also: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/amazon-kuiper-in-focus-as-trump-looks-beyond-spacex-for-golden-dome/ch8MWwbR5sr">Amazon’s Kuiper Reportedly In Focus As Trump Looks Beyond SpaceX For Golden Dome Missile Shield</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

SpaceX, Perplexity Investor Glade Brook Raises $515 Million To Back AI And Space Startups

The Connecticut-based firm will continue targeting growth-stage investments in sectors including artificial intelligence, fintech, e-commerce, space, and defense.

Artificial intelligence (AI) startup Perplexity has secured an additional $100 million in funding, boosting its valuation to $18 billion from $14 billion just months ago, according to a&nbsp;Financial Times report on Thursday.Perplexity,&nbsp;widely seen as a competitor to Google Search, had closed a $500 million funding round in May.The company initially sought an $18 billion valuation in the funding round but faced resistance from investors. However, after the round closed, new investors approached the company and were offered the opportunity to purchase equity at the same $18 billion valuation, according to the FT&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.ft.com/content/4e05a5c5-84ad-4f8a-991a-d7f3842de76d">report</a>, which cited two people with direct knowledge of the situation.Three-year-old Perplexity's soaring valuation — up from $500 million at the start of last year — highlights the rapid acceleration in AI development, widely seen as tech's next big frontier. In recent years, adoption has surged among users and businesses alike, as players from OpenAI to Google and Amazon race to roll out new tools.The competition has, of late, evolved into a talent war, where larger companies are now trying to gain an edge by leveraging their financial muscle. Meta reportedly held acquisition talks with upstarts like Thinking Machine Lab and Safe Superintelligence, both founded by former OpenAI staff, before buying&nbsp;a 49% stake in Scale AI for nearly $15 billion&nbsp;last month. Google recently spent $2.4 billion to hire the leaders of coding startup Windsurf.According to the FT report, Perplexity's annualised revenue run-rate has jumped from $35 million in August last year to $150 million this month.Perplexity is backed by Nvidia, SoftBank's Vision Fund 2, and venture capitalists New Enterprise Associates and IVP.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
