Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It enables peer-to-peer electronic cash transactions without intermediaries like banks or governments, operating on a blockchain secured by Proof of Work mining and the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm.   With a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins and programmatic halvings every four years that reduce miner rewards, Bitcoin is designed as a deflationary digital asset often called "digital gold." Its value stems from solving the double-spending problem without trusted intermediaries, creating the first truly scarce digital asset with censorship resistance and permissionless access that no government, corporation, or individual can control.  Bitcoin operates as a decentralized peer-to-peer network where transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, distributed across thousands of computers globally. Transactions are grouped into blocks added approximately every 10 minutes through mining, where specialized computers compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles.   Bitcoin has achieved mainstream adoption through multiple vectors. The January 2024 SEC approval of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs opened Bitcoin investment to traditional finance participants, and corporations like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) are using Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset to protect against currency debasement, offering MSTR holders amplified exposure to Bitcoin.   The Bitcoin ecosystem continues to evolve with innovations like Ordinals, which emerged in January 2023 to enable NFT-like functionality directly on Bitcoin, and BRC-20 tokens, an experimental standard for creating fungible tokens using Ordinal inscriptions. BTCFi (Bitcoin Finance) represents emerging financial applications extending beyond Bitcoin's traditional role, with protocols like Babylon allowing Bitcoin holders to stake BTC to secure Proof of Stake chains.

Oil giant Shell (SHEL) announced on Wednesday that it will need to refile its financial statements in the U.S. and U.K. after its auditor, Ernst &amp; Young, was found to have violated mandatory rotation rules intended to preserve auditor independence.Despite the news,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SHEL">Shell’s stock</a> was up nearly 1% in pre-market trade. However, retail sentiment on Stocktwits dipped to ‘neutral’ territory from ‘bullish’ a day ago as chatter also tempered to ‘high’ levels from ‘extremely high’.&nbsp;Due to the breach, Shell said that Ernst &amp; Young’s (EY) audit opinion for those two years can no longer be fully relied upon under U.S. law. It plans to amend its SEC filings for those years.&nbsp;The company stated that EY has replaced the audit partner and issued updated opinions, which remain “unqualified,” indicating that there are no major issues with the reported numbers.&nbsp;The update comes after the Big Four accounting firm was fined £325,000 ($445,000) in April by the U.K.’s Financial Reporting Council (FRC) for auditing listed company Stirling Water Seafield Finance for more than 10 years without publicly retendering for the contract.The FRC is reviewing the new case and may decide to launch a formal investigation, according to a Financial Times&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.ft.com/content/3c64ed46-fc82-4ce3-ae63-7d26036e2cec">report.</a>EY acknowledged the error, said it had taken corrective action, and emphasized that no financial results need to be revised.The auditor made $66 million from Shell-related work in 2024, according to the company’s annual report.

Before the incident, Shell stated that it plans to retain EY for another decade.Piper Sandler also raised its price target on Shell to $83 from $80 on Wednesday, while maintaining an ‘Overweight’ rating on the stock as per TheFly. Analyst Ryan Todd said the upward revision was part of a broader update to the firm’s second-quarter estimates for integrated oil companies, reflecting recent movements in commodity prices, refining margins, and minor adjustments to operating assumptions.For Shell specifically, Piper increased its Q2 earnings per share and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) projections by 14% and 10%, respectively, citing higher assumed crude oil prices as the primary driver. The company is scheduled to report its Q2 earnings on July 31, after the bell.&nbsp;Shell’s stock has gained over 13% this year but fallen more than 2% over the past 12 months.&nbsp;(Exchange rate: £1 = $1.37)For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/tesla-china-made-ev-sales-break-8-month-losing-streak-in-june/chF0jLfRTpD">Tesla’s China-Made EV Sales Break 8-Month Losing Streak In June: Stock Rises Pre-Market</a>

Barrick Gold Stock Gains Despite Mali Operations Halt Over Seized Stockpiles: Retail Divided

Amid an ongoing revenue dispute with Mali, Barrick Gold’s temporary shutdown has retail investors on Stocktwits questioning the company’s future operations in the region.

Barrick Gold Corp. (GOLD) shares declined more than 2% in morning trade on Monday after reports emerged that Mali's military junta has begun enforcing an interim order to seize gold stockpiles at the Loulo-Gounkoto mine operated by the company.&nbsp;The escalation deepens a dispute over revenue distribution from the vast mining operation in the West African nation, leaving investor sentiment on Stocktwits divided.The world’s second-largest gold producer has been at odds with the Malian government over how revenue from the Loulo-Gounkoto complex is shared.&nbsp;A company memo obtained by&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-13/mali-starts-executing-order-to-seize-gold-stocks-at-barrick-mine">Bloomberg</a> revealed that while gold shipments from the mine have been blocked since November, the junta began enforcing its interim seizure order on January 11.&nbsp;The directive, issued earlier this month, aims to claim gold stockpiled at the site.Last week, in response to the directive, Barrick issued a&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/barrick-gold-stock-slides-one-week-ultimatum-to-mali-government/chGd2rIRm9">one-week ultimatum</a> to Mali’s government to lift the&nbsp;shipment restrictions, warning that operations at the mine could be suspended if the impasse continues.&nbsp;Currently, the Canadian mining giant has not issued a public statement regarding the latest developments.It did inform investors about an unsolicited mini-tender offer by TRC Capital Investment Corporation to purchase 5 million of Barrick’s common shares at C$21.35 per share—below the market price.&nbsp;Barrick has advised shareholders to reject the offer, noting that the proposed price reflects a 4.5% discount to the stock’s last traded price on January 7.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1296/301;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Screenshot_2025_01_13_084529_d933906d4d.png" alt="Screenshot 2025-01-13 084529.png" width="1296" height="301"><figcaption>Barrick Gold Corp.
