Zcash is a decentralized and open-source cryptocurrency that offers privacy and selective transparency of transactions. Zcash payments are published on a public blockchain, but the sender, recipient, and amount of a transaction remain private.  Zcash is based on peer-reviewed cryptographic research, and built by a security-specialized engineering team on an open source platform based on Bitcoin Core's battle-tested codebase. Our improvement over Bitcoin is the addition of privacy. Zcash uses advanced cryptographic techniques, namely zero-knowledge proofs, to guarantee the validity of transactions without revealing additional information about them.  How Zcash works  Zcash encrypts the contents of shielded transactions. Since the payment information is encrypted, the protocol uses a novel cryptographic method to verify their validity.  Zcash uses a zero-knowledge proof construction called a zk-SNARK, developed by our team of experienced cryptographers based on recent breakthroughs in cryptography. These constructions allow the network to maintain a secure ledger of balances without disclosing the parties or amounts involved. Instead of publicly demonstrating spend-authority and transaction values, the transaction metadata is encrypted and zk-SNARKs are used to prove that nobody is cheating or stealing.  Zcash also enables users to send public payments which work similarly to Bitcoin. With the support for both shielded and transparent addresses, users can choose to send Zcash privately or publicly. Zcash payments sent from a shielded address to a transparent address reveal the received balance, while payments from a transparent address to a shielded address protect the receiving value.   Check out CoinBureau for guide on What is ZCash.

Zcash

Zcash is gaining attention as discussions around privacy and decentralized finance intensify, particularly with its upcoming halving event. Community members are debating its potential, use cases for shielded transactions, and some believe ZEC is undervalued relative to other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Monero. Recent integrations with wallets and DEXs and broader privacy initiatives may also be contributing to the increased interest.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella posted a message on the X social media platform on Monday regarding a partnership between the software giant and xAI, the artificial intelligence (AI) startup founded by Elon Musk.&nbsp;Sharing&nbsp;Microsoft Azure’s X post, Nadella said, “Welcome Grok 4 to Azure AI Foundry!” In a terse acknowledgement, Musk said, “Thanks Satya.” The Grok 4 is xAI’s most advanced reasoning large-language model that offers advanced reasoning, real-time insights and enhanced memorization.In a blog post on the Microsoft&nbsp;Azure website, the company stated that the collaboration will enable the delivery of powerful reasoning designed for business-ready safety and control. The Grok 4 features a 128K-token context window, native tool support, and integrated web search, Microsoft said, adding that over the last month, both companies have collaborated closely to enhance responsible design.&nbsp;The software giant said, “The team has evaluated from a responsible AI perspective, putting Grok 4 through a suite of safety tests and compliance checks. It also noted that the Azure AI Content Safety is on by default, adding another layer of protection for enterprise use.Microsoft also noted that its internal Azure AI Foundry benchmarking service showed that Grok 4 showed “impressive” capabilities on high-complexity tasks.

Amid concerns that the artificial intelligence (AI) industry is in a "bubble," characterized by excessive hype and company valuations that might not hold up, a top consultancy has put out a worrisome forecast.&nbsp;&nbsp;Bain &amp; Co. projects that by 2030, AI companies will need $2 trillion in combined annual revenue to fund the necessary computing power to meet projected demand for AI services.However, their revenue is likely to fall $800 billion short of that figure, according to Bain's annual Global Technology Report, which was released on Tuesday and&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-09-23/an-800-billion-revenue-shortfall-threatens-ai-future-bain-says?srnd=undefined">reported on</a> by Bloomberg."If the current scaling laws hold, AI will increasingly strain supply chains globally," David Crawford, chairman of Bain's global technology practice, was quoted as saying.The study notes a mismatch in the pace of the billions of dollars of investment by OpenAI, Google, and others in data centers and related AI infrastructure, and efforts to monetize services like OpenAI and Gemini.&nbsp;&nbsp;While increasingly becoming ubiquitous and generating millions in revenue, top AI applications are still early in terms of enterprise adoption.Companies, as well as users to some extent, are not immediately opening up their purse strings to pay for premium plans as they continue to assess material gains from using AI in their businesses and projects.If revenues don't hold up, the required investment to sustain AI compute demand would not be met.The biggest tech firms, including Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta, will ramp up their combined annual spending on AI to more than $500 billion by early next decade, according to Bloomberg Intelligence.Global incremental AI computing requirements could surge to 200 gigawatts by 2030, with the U.S. accounting for half of that, according to Bain.The report adds another concern to the growing rhetoric that AI revenues would not deliver as much as the investments made into the technology.OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and chair of the company's board, Bret Taylor, recently made&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/open-ai-board-chair-bret-taylor-agrees-with-sam-altman-s-ai-bubble-view-but-says-that-s-how-the-market-works/chwvDkORdx7">remarks</a> suggesting that the industry could be in a bubble, sparking concerns in the tech and investor community.Although Microsoft had an early mover’s advantage in the space through its partnership with OpenAI, rivals like Google and Meta are closing in fast. On the consumer-facing side, AI applications assisting in coding, media generation (text, image, and video), and productivity are getting more advanced at a fast clip, with their creators looking for ways to derive more AI use cases.On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment was ‘bearish’ for Google and ‘neutral’ for Microsoft, as of the last reading. OpenAI, a private company, fetched an ‘extremely bullish’ view.&nbsp;For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/better-stock-rockets-as-opendoor-bull-eric-jackson-predicts-350x-gains/chDhKvgR3PI">BETR Stock Rockets As Opendoor Bull Eric Jackson Hypes ‘Shopify of Mortgages’ And Predicts 350x Gains: Retail Goes All In</a>

Even with OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft pouring billions into data centers, a new report warns global supply chains may strain under surging AI power demand while monetization lags.

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup, xAI, has secured $10 billion in new funding, valuing the company at approximately $200 billion.&nbsp;CNBC&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/09/19/musks-xai-10-billion-at-200-billion-valuation.html">reported</a> the deal citing sources, which follows&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.ft.com/content/25aab987-c2a1-4fca-8883-38a617269b68">discussions</a> in July that xAI&nbsp;was looking to raise fresh capital at a similar valuation. At that time, the company had already raised $10 billion, split evenly between debt and equity at a valuation of around $150 billion. xAI was waiting to launch its additional fundraising until after unveiling Grok 4, its latest AI model, a person familiar with the matter&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-11/musk-s-xai-seeks-200-billion-valuation-in-new-funding-ft-says">told</a> Bloomberg at the time.&nbsp;CNBC noted that Grok is still viewed as trailing OpenAI’s GPT and Anthropic’s Claude in capabilities and user base. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/XAI">xAI</a>, which is not publicly listed, was in ‘neutral’ territory – at par with&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/ANTHROPIC">Anthropic</a>, which also saw sentiment in the ‘neutral’ zone.

According to the report, a fair share of the new capital is expected to fund data centers with Nvidia and AMD GPUs, the chips needed to train next-generation AI systems, and to recruit top talent.xAI, which also owns the social media platform X in addition to the GrokAI chatbot, has already installed about 200,000 GPUs at its Colossus site in Memphis and is planning a one-million-GPU facility nearby, Musk said at the time. He did not disclose how many chips have been ordered or when they will be fully deployed. “A few years ago, I made a very obvious prediction, which is that the limitation on AI will be chips,” Musk said.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/tim-cook-says-apple-watch-could-alert-1-million-users-to-hypertension-this-year/chD3RheR3RH">Tim Cook Reportedly Says Apple Watch Could Alert 1 Million Users to Hypertension This Year</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

xAI Reportedly Secures $10 Billion Funding, Pushing Valuation To $200 Billion

The funding follows reports in July that xAI was in talks to raise fresh capital at a similar valuation. 

OpenAI has hired former xAI finance chief Mike Liberatore as its business finance officer, according to a CNBC report published late Monday.Liberatore, who left Elon Musk's AI firm in July, after just three months on the job, will start on Tuesday.He will report to CFO Sarah Friar and work with Greg Brockman's team, which manages the contracts and capital behind OpenAI's compute strategy, a company spokesperson told CNBC.The development comes as AI companies are spending billions of dollars on compute capacity and funneling investor money into the development of new AI services. Meta recently hired 50 top AI engineers with high compensation in a few months, mostly from rivals such as OpenAI.&nbsp;Meanwhile, Musk has&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/elon-musk-xai-accuses-apple-openai/chsss4hRdSG">sued</a> OpenAI and Apple over what he alleges is an illegal collusion between the two companies for prominently featuring ChatGPT on the App Store&nbsp;while leaving out his company’s rival feature, Grok, developed by xAI.Musk also reportedly sued a former xAI engineer who joined OpenAI recently for allegedly leaking trade secrets related to its Grok, according to a Reuters&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/elon-musk-xai-sues-ex-engineer-for-allegedly-leaking-grok-secrets-to-openai/chtTFK9RdNq">report</a> last month.For OpenAI, the financial hiring is a crucial move as it&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/open-ai-microsoft-gear-up-for-next-phase-of-partnership-as-chat-gpt-maker-nears-for-profit-conversion/chw8BmhRdw2">moves closer</a> towards a corporate restructuring.

The Federal Trade Commission on Thursday ordered Alphabet Inc. (GOOG/GOOGL), OpenAI, Meta Platforms Inc.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk doubled down on his company’s robotics and AI ambitions on Tuesday, calling the Optimus humanoid robot the most difficult engineering project Tesla has ever attempted and touting a major leap in its custom AI chips.&nbsp;The comments came on an&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeZqZBRA-6Q">All-In Summit podcast,</a> days after Tesla unveiled “Master Plan Part IV,” which centers on artificial intelligence and robotics as pillars of its long-term strategy.Musk said Tesla is finalizing version three of Optimus, which aims to replicate human-level dexterity with complex hands, advanced AI navigation, and high-volume production.&nbsp;“It’s harder than any of those things. Much harder… only Starship’s harder,” Musk said when asked how Optimus compares to Tesla’s most challenging vehicle programs.&nbsp;He warned that Tesla has had to build an entire supply chain from scratch because actuators and components for humanoid robots “could not actually be bought for any amount of money.”If successful, Musk said Optimus could become Tesla’s largest-ever product, with production costs potentially falling to $20,000–$25,000 per unit at volumes of around one million annually.Musk also outlined Tesla’s next-generation AI chip roadmap, saying the AI5 chip will be 40 times more powerful than the current AI4 in some metrics, offering 8x the compute power, 9x more memory and 5x higher bandwidth.&nbsp;He added that the AI4 chips already in Tesla vehicles will achieve full self-driving safety “at least 2–3x that of a human, maybe even 10x,” once upcoming software updates roll out.Last week, Tesla published its&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/tesla-stock-snaps-hot-streak-of-weekly-gains-will-master-plan-part-iv-provide-a-lift/chv6XnGRdVH">"Master Plan Part IV"</a> blueprint on X, which describes a vision of “sustainable abundance” through unifying hardware and software across EVs, solar, energy storage, and humanoid robots.&nbsp;Musk said Optimus could ultimately account for 80% of Tesla’s value, describing the scaling of both Optimus and full self-driving software as the company’s biggest drivers ahead.The plan builds on Tesla’s earlier roadmaps, from its early Roadster and Model S launches to energy storage and solar ventures, but makes clear that robotics and autonomy now sit at the core of its next phase.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment for Tesla was ‘neutral’ amid ‘high’ message volume.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/TSLA">Tesla’s stock</a> has declined 14% so far in 2025.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Elon Musk’s xAI Sues Ex-Engineer For Allegedly Taking Secrets To OpenAI: Report

According to a Reuters report, xAI filed a case against Xuechen Li in a California federal court, alleging that Li leaked trade secrets related to its Grok AI chatbot to OpenAI.

Elon Musk has asked a federal judge to dismiss a Securities and Exchange Commission lawsuit alleging that he cost erstwhile Twitter, Inc. shareholders money for failing to disclose his rising stake, according to a Bloomberg report.In a suit filed in January, the SEC alleged that Musk missed a deadline to file a special form stating he had accumulated at least a 5% ownership stake in Twitter before launching his takeover bid for the social media platform&nbsp;three years ago.Musk flouted securities law by waiting too long (he missed the filing deadline by 11 days), which cost Twitter shareholders more than $150 million, according to the suit.Musk's attorneys wrote in a court filing late Thursday that the suit does not allege that Musk acted willfully or recklessly, and, as such, it "is a waste of this court's time and taxpayer resources," according to the Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-29/musk-seeks-dismissal-of-sec-suit-over-twitter-stake-disclosure">report</a>.Musk's stake disclosure would have sent Twitter's stock price soaring; its investors missed out on those gains, the suit says. The billionaire has earlier said that the SEC's suit is a "campaign of harassment" against him.The lawsuit was closely watched due to its timing. It emerged when Musk had become one of the top backers of President Donald Trump,&nbsp;with whom his relationship later floundered.Musk's chaotic takeover of Twitter, now called X, raised many eyebrows at the time. After signing the deal in April 2022, he backed out, which led to Twitter management and investors suing him. He ultimately returned to close the deal in October 2024, purchasing Twitter for $44 billion.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/gap-stock-snaps-6-day-winning-streak-ceo-vows-to-mitigate-tariff-pressure-denim-campaign-grabs-eyeballs/chtTdjVRdZl">Gap Stock Snaps 6-Day Winning Streak: CEO Vows To Mitigate Tariff Pressure, Denim Campaign Grabs Eyeballs</a>

Elon Musk has released parts of the Grok AI model under an open-source license, a move aimed at boosting developer adoption and user interest while narrowing the gap with rivals such as OpenAI and Google.Musk&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1959379349322313920">announced</a> in an X post on Friday that xAI, his AI company, which also houses the X social media site, has published parts of the source code for Grok 2.5 on code-sharing platform Hugging Face. Grok 3 "will be made open source in about 6 months," he added.&nbsp;&nbsp;To be sure, xAI has released the Grok 2.5 model weight and code under a limited license, which limits usage to non-commercial and research purposes only.In doing so, Musk, a new entrant in the AI race, has taken a leaf out of the playbook of Meta and Chinese tech companies such as Alibaba and DeepSeek.The release of AI model source code, albeit with restrictions, has&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3318747/how-chinas-open-source-ai-helping-deepseek-alibaba-take-silicon-valley">accelerated</a> the development of new applications and services built on top of them, while also positioning these companies as champions of more equitable AI advancement.Grok debuted as an AI chatbot on X in 2023, with a standalone Grok app released in January this year. In terms of users, it is&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/Apple-Feud-Aside-Elon-Musk-Impressed-With-Grok-Toppling-Googles-Gemini-In-App-Store-Charts/chsazhfRdQO">way behind</a> OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini services. xAI released Grok 4 in July, which is currently available to certain premium X and Grok app users.Even as Musk doubles down on promoting his AI offering (while also&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/sam-altman-fires-back-at-elon-musk-over-apples-chatgpt-favoritism-claims/chrDUplRd7g">engaging in online disputes</a>&nbsp;with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman), Grok has had its share of controversies.Months ago, users had flagged that the chatbot seemed to become obsessed with “white genocide” conspiracy theories, and also expressed skepticism about the Holocaust’s death toll, among other hallucinations.However, Musk has been aggressively promoting the updated Grok versions on his X feed, touting its ability to produce images and turn pictures into animations on prompt. He has also&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/elon-musk-wants-tesla-to-back-x-ai-but-leaves-it-to-board-and-shareholders-not-up-to-me/ch8BiIzR5NV">proposed</a> that Tesla shareholders vote on investing in xAI.Founded in early 2023 after the launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, xAI later merged with social platform X (owned by Musk) in a deal that valued it at $80 billion.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/furniture-retailers-stocks-slump-on-tariff-threat-retail-investors-see-bargain-opportunity-in-some/chsshZ9RdKC">Furniture Retailers' Stocks Slump On Tariff Threat: Retail Investors See Bargain Opportunity In Some</a>
