ARM Holdings's Options: A Look at What the Big Money is Thinking

You'd think being the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44482365/warren-buffetts-son-wasnt-raised-like-a-billionaires-kid-he-mowed-lawns-and-cleaned-gutters-because-there-are-jerks-with-money-and-jerks-without">son of one of the richest men on Earth</a> comes with certain perks—like free rent. Not if your dad is Warren Buffett.
Howard Buffett, the middle child of Berkshire Hathaway's legendary CEO, runs a commercial farming operation spread across 1,906 acres in Nebraska and Illinois. He's worth around $400 million, according to LuxuryLaunches, pals around with royalty, and has sat on some of the biggest corporate boards in America. But when it comes to farming, he's just another guy who pays rent—literally—to his dad. And yes, it's based on how much he weighs.

<li>Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/warren-buffet-make-money-when-you-sleep"> Here&#8217;s how you can earn passive income with just $100.</a></li>
</ul>
Back in a <a href="https://fortune.com/2012/11/21/the-children-of-the-rich-and-famous/">1990 Fortune article</a>, Howard explained one of the more bizarre Buffett family traditions while discussing a 406-acre farm: "Dad owns the land. I pay him a percentage of the gross income as rent. I probably shouldn't tell you this, but the rent is based upon my weight. I'm 5 foot 8, and I weigh around 200 pounds. He thinks I weigh too much — that I should weigh 182.5. If I'm over, my rent is 26% of gross income. If I'm under, 22%. It's the Buffett family version of going to Weight Watchers."
He added, "I don't mind it, really. He's showing he's concerned about my health. But what I do mind is that, even at 22%, he's getting a bigger payback than almost anybody around. Somehow he always manages to control the circumstances."
And that's just one slice of the Buffett land pie.

In a <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/howard-buffett-farming-and-finance-24-06-2012/">2012 CBS News report</a>, Howard was said to be working 1,500 acres solo in Pana, Illinois. The commercial acreage under those two operation totaled 1,906 acres—a mix of land he owns and land he rents from his father.
According to the <a href="https://www.thehowardgbuffettfoundation.org/about/">Howard G. Buffett Foundation</a>, he oversees multiple foundation-operated farms in Arizona, Illinois, and Nebraska. Add in two ranches in Arizona, a ranch and farm in New Mexico, and a farm in Texas, and you've got a man who spends more time in fields than boardrooms.
His mission, though, goes way beyond yield. Howard spends about $50 million a year through his foundation, targeting food insecurity and poverty—particularly in Africa. What started as a passion for conservation evolved into a full-blown fight against hunger, after he realized starving communities can't protect ecosystems if they're just trying to survive. "Many were starving," he wrote in his book "40 Chances.&#8221; "I realized I had to shift my efforts to a more fundamental issue."

He <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42496912/warren-buffett-doesnt-believe-college-is-for-everyone-none-of-his-3-kids-finished-if-you-pool-their-credits-you-got-a-degree">dropped out of college</a>, dug basements, drove bulldozers, and worked at See's Candies. A <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/howard-buffett-biography-2011-12">2011 Business Insider article</a> reported he even sold off 600 shares of Berkshire Hathaway stock to launch his first business—a construction company. Eventually, he joined Coca-Cola's board and was tapped to become Berkshire Hathaway's future nonexecutive chairman—not for stock picking, but to safeguard the company's values.
Warren Buffett has always said <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42764133/warren-buffetts-son-wanted-a-corvette-as-a-teen-the-billionaire-gave-him-5000-towards-it-but-said-no-other-gifts-for-3-years">his kids would earn their own way</a>, and this weight-based rent scheme might be the most Buffett way of proving it. While other billionaire heirs are out flipping NFTs or lounging on superyachts, Howard's in the fields—keeping an eye on crop yields and the bathroom scale. And while it's been nearly a decade since he last mentioned the rent in <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2016/05/how-warren-buffetts-son-would-feed-the-world/476385/">The Atlantic back in 2016</a>, if the deal's still in place, he might just be the only farmer in America with a lease agreement that doubles as a weight-loss incentive.

U.S. Senate Help Committee To Hold A Hearing On HHS Reorganization, Calls On Health Secretary Kennedy To Appear Before Committee On April 10

Grayscale&#8217;s mission to bring cryptocurrencies in the mainstream financial universe<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs"> through ETFs</a> has picked up pace. Nasdaq filed a request on March 28, through a 19b-4 filing, to transform Grayscale&#8217;s Avalanche Trust into a Grayscale&#8217;s spot Avalanche ETF. On Tuesday, Grayscale made further progress in that direction by filing an S-3 form with the SEC to transform its Digital Large Cap Fund into an ETF.

The almost 2-year-old Avalanche Trust was initially intended to offer institutional investors a way to invest in AVAX, the native token of the Avalanche blockchain. By transforming it into an ETF, Grayscale aims to make investments in AVAX more accessible to retail investors while bringing more stringent regulatory protection into mainstream financial markets. If the ETF is <a href="https://listingcenter.nasdaq.com/assets/rulebook/nasdaq/filings/SR-NASDAQ-2025-030.pdf">approved</a>, this would be yet another step in mainstreaming blockchain-based assets.
Now, with the <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1729997/000095017025047994/gdlc_s-3_032525.htm">request </a>to restructure its Digital Large Cap Fund as an ETF, Grayscale has taken yet another significant step toward its goal. The fund offers diversified exposure to several cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other leading digital assets. The move is part of Grayscale&#8217;s overall strategy of bringing digital asset investing into the traditional markets, enabling both institutional and retail investors to have exposure to cryptocurrencies without actually owning the underlying assets.
With these latest moves, Grayscale is upping the ante in the push for cryptocurrency adoption. By making digital assets more accessible and regulated, the company is carving a path for broader acceptance of cryptocurrency-based investment products.

Trader Notes: Crypto trader Jelle <a href="https://x.com/CryptoJelleNL/status/1906962639730671954">notes</a> that Bitcoin is forming its first higher low in over two months. 
A breakout above $88,000 would confirm a higher high, shifting the market structure bullish. 
The key target is reclaiming the low $90,000s, where momentum could accelerate significantly.

Crypto trader Ansem <a href="https://x.com/blknoiz06/status/1907143851120165196">expects</a> Bitcoin to bottom in Q2, followed by a sideways range until year-end. 
His long-term target stands at $250,000 by 2028. 
In the short term, he is cautious, watching key support and resistance between $66,000 and $72,000.
In case a recission hits, the worst-case scenario is $50,000. However, the bearish view gets invalidated if BTC shows high time frame strength above $95,000.

AMC Entertainment Hldgs's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) short percent of float has risen 3.41% since its last report.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

'US Labour Watchdog Halts Apple Cases After Donald Trump Picks Group's Lawyer For Top Job' - Financial Times

When then GOP presidential candidate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a> ran against his Democrat and pro-weed rival <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/kamala-harris">Kamala Harris</a>, he said he supported rescheduling cannabis. While some considered his comments purely campaign talk, it seems clear the president is not in a hurry to make any significant changes to cannabis policy.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Do We Know That?</h2>
A White House official <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/01/politics/trump-marijuana-ads/index.html">told CNN</a> in a report published on Tuesday that "no action is being considered at this time" as far as marijuana policy is concerned.
The outlet also pointed out that talks about cannabis reform stalled well before the White House discussed the confirmation of Attorney General Pam Bondi, who now oversees the DEA as head of the Department of Justice.
Bondi, who replaced weed advocate and former Rep. Matt Gaetz when he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/12/42655999/house-ethics-committee-alleges-matt-gaetz-violated-laws-releases-report-on-misconduct">ran into trouble </a>with the House Ethics Committee, is far less supportive of marijuana reforms. &nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&#8216;The Enemy Of My Enemy Is My Friend&#8216;</h2>
Meanwhile, a pro-weed group &#8211; the American Rights and Reform PAC- is launching a million-dollar ad campaign to win Trump's favor.
Echoing the proverb &#8220;the enemy of my enemy is my friend,&#8221; the group is criticizing both former President Joe Biden and Canada—frequent targets of Trump's political rhetoric.
In one ad, says CNN, the group attacks Biden for not fulfilling his promise to reschedule marijuana and the other takes a dig at our Northern neighbor for having the nerve to "cash in" on Washington's anti-weed policies by allowing American companies to list on Canada's stock market.
The group's two ads praise Trump for supporting access to experimental treatments in his first term in the White House, referring to the Right to Try Act.
According to CNN, a lobbyist for Curaleaf Holdings Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CURLF#OTC">CURLF</a>) is listed as the organization's treasurer.
The two 30-second spots will air throughout April in Washington, DC and in the Florida media market near Mar-a-Lago, Trump's Palm Beach mansion, a person familiar with the super PAC's plans told CNN. &nbsp;
Here&#8217;s a sneak peek at one of the ads:

Trump Gets Fawning Praise From Pro-Cannabis PAC But He's Not Returning The Sentiment

Attorney General Pam Bondi <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/attorney-general-pamela-bondi-directs-prosecutors-seek-death-penalty-luigi-mangione">announced</a> today that federal prosecutors will seek the death penalty against Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old accused of murdering a UnitedHealthcare Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) executive in what authorities call a <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/attorney-general-pamela-bondi-directs-prosecutors-seek-death-penalty-luigi-mangione">politically motivated assassination</a>.
What To Know: Bondi described the Dec. 4, 2024, killing of Brian Thompson as a "premeditated, cold-blooded assassination" and reaffirmed her commitment to <a href="https://www.justice.gov/ag/media/1388561/dl?inline=&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=govdelivery">restoring</a> the federal death penalty. 
"Mangione's actions shocked America," Bondi stated, emphasizing that the move aligns with President Trump's agenda to combat violent crime.
Mangione, who grew up in a wealthy Baltimore real estate family, allegedly targeted Thompson as part of a broader statement against the healthcare industry. Authorities <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42512814/luigi-mangione-lived-a-privileged-life-of-real-estate-wealth-before-arrest-in-ceo-case">found a manifesto</a> detailing his grievances, along with a 3D-printed gun and silencer at the time of his arrest.
Federal charges against Mangione were filed on Dec. 19. Bondi has now instructed Acting U.S. Attorney Matthew Podolsky to pursue the death penalty.
The case has meanwhile sparked public debate, with some supporters criticizing the healthcare sector and <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/02/43887520/luigi-mangione-back-in-court-friday-supporters-donate-500k-to-suspected-killer">donating over $514,000</a> to Mangione's legal defense fund.

What Else: The US Attorney General&#8217;s office on Feb. 5 announced the <a href="https://www.justice.gov/ag/media/1388561/dl?inline=&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=govdelivery">revival</a> of the federal death penalty, immediately lifting the moratorium on federal executions.
According to the memo, federal prosecutors are now directed to actively seek the death penalty in cases involving offenses such as the murder of law enforcement officers and capital crimes committed by undocumented individuals. &nbsp;
This policy shift also includes a review of past decisions where the death penalty was not pursued, indicating a firm stance on capital punishment. The federal government will also assist states in implementing death sentences.
As Mangione's trial continues, Bondi's strong support for capital punishment will likely remain a key focus, highlighting the administration's tough-on-crime policies.

AG Pam Bondi Seeks Death Penalty For UnitedHealthcare Exec's Murder

As MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) increases its Bitcoin purchases, investors now have a new vehicle to hedge against future declines. YieldMax has introduced the YieldMax MSTR Short Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WNTR#NYSE">WNTR</a>), an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">actively managed ETF</a> that seeks to benefit from MSTR stock price decreases while providing monthly income.
This is YieldMax&#8217;s 46th options strategy ETF and the fifth in the company&#8217;s expanding roster. The timing is interesting, as MSTR has just increased its Bitcoin holding, adding even more to its exposure to the cryptocurrency&#8217;s volatility. For those worried about contemplated price corrections, WNTR is a structured means to avoid downside risk.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/03/44572706/value-stocks-gain-ground-as-inflation-recession-fears-grow-4-etfs-to-capitalize-on-the-trend">Value Stocks Gain Ground As Inflation, Recession Fears Grow: 4 ETFs To Capitalize On The Trend</a>
WNTR uses a synthetic-covered put strategy to offer inverse exposure to MSTR, i.e., it profits when the stock price goes down—but only to some extent. However, the potential upside from MSTR&#8217;s dips are capped when the stock declines considerably, as per the prospectus of the fund.
Where WNTR&#8217;s managers expect a sharp decline, the fund can pursue an alternative strategy through selling credit put spreads. This <a href="https://cbs4indy.com/business/press-releases/globenewswire/9411979/yieldmax-introduces-short-option-income-strategy-etf-on-microstrategy-inc-mstr/">strategy </a>maximizes potential returns while preserving inverse downside capture. The fund can also buy out-of-the-money calls as a hedge against surprise price rebounds.
The ETF has an expense ratio of 1.01% and collateralizes its covered put positions in U.S. Treasuries. In addition to supporting the strategy of the fund, these holdings also make their way into the fund&#8217;s monthly income distributions—a big draw for investors looking for consistent returns.
YieldMax has been adding to its lineup of options-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with WNTR being added to other strategies with Tesla, Coinbase, NVIDIA and the Nasdaq-100 Index. The $2.5 billion YieldMax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTY#NYSE">MSTY</a>) is its largest ETF yet, and it employs a covered call approach to MSTR.

First-quarter delivery figures from Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) could be more anticipated than usual, given intense concerns for demand amid boycotts and lower sales reported in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44128646/tesla-sales-drop-in-europe-in-february-some-countries-down-over-40-is-musks-political-push-hurting-ev-company">regions in Europe.</a>
Here's a look at key estimates before Tesla reports first-quarter deliveries this week.

Now, investors and analysts are closely watching for official delivery figures to see how many thousands of customers worldwide also received their Teslas during the quarter.
Consensus estimates from analysts compiled by Tesla are for first-quarter deliveries of 377,592 units, as reported by Teslarati. This figure comprises 351,893 Model 3/Model Y and 21,241 deliveries of other Tesla models.
Tesla influencer Sawyer Merritt recently conducted a <a href="https://x.com/SawyerMerritt/status/1906740457050181944">poll </a>of followers on X for their predictions on how many vehicles Tesla will deliver in the first quarter. Here are the results from over 10,000 X users:

<li>360,000 to 370,000: 11.9%</li>
<li>More than 370,000: 19.4%</li>

Why It's Important: Tesla reported first-quarter deliveries of 386,810 last year. The electric vehicle company is likely to come under that figure to start 2025 and below analyst estimates, which could be in part due to the political push by Tesla CEO Elon Musk. 
The company said it expects its vehicle business to return to growth in 2025, but it could start off on the wrong foot and be counting on a strong second half of the year with catalysts ahead.
Reports of lower-than-expected sales of Tesla vehicles in regions in Europe have likely led to lower estimates. In China, Tesla registrations could be picking up, according to a report from <a href="https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-china-registrations-highest-q1-final-week/">Teslarati</a>.
The week of March 24 through March 30 had 20,700 Tesla vehicles registered in China, the highest reported figure for the quarter, according to reports. The strong delivery figures come after January and February, which had low deliveries before a rebound in late February and early March, helped by the introduction of the new Model Y in the country.
Musk's push into politics has hurt the brand value of Tesla and led to polls showing people are less likely to buy Tesla vehicles in the future. While this could mean weak first-quarter sales, it could become an even bigger storyline into the rest of 2025.
Benzinga <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44360899/exclusive-trumps-tesla-purchase-unlikely-to-boost-sales-as-53-say-never">recently polled readers </a>on if they would buy a Tesla vehicle.
"Donald Trump recently bought a Tesla. How does this affect your view of Tesla?" Benzinga asked.
Here were the results:
<ul>
<li>I will never own a Tesla: 53%</li>
<li>I'm more likely to buy a Tesla:&nbsp;23%</li>
<li>I'm less likely to buy a Tesla: 14%</li>
<li>I already own a Tesla: 10%</li>
</ul>
The poll may have some bad news for Tesla fans and investors with the majority saying they will never own a Tesla vehicle.
The good news is that of undecided non-Tesla owners, 23% said they are more likely to buy a Tesla, while 14% said they are less likely to buy a Tesla on account of Trump's purchase and sales pitch for the EV company.
A low delivery figure reported this week could amplify concerns about the demand for Tesla vehicles and lead to lower shares and analysts cutting their price targets.
TSLA Price Action: Tesla is up 3.7% to $268.82 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $138.80 to $488.54. Tesla stock is down 27.5% year-to-date in 2025 and up 56.9% over the last year.
