ATIF Holdings Limited (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZBAI#NASDAQ">ZBAI</a>), today announced its strategic expansion into the Bitcoin (BTC) sector with an ambitious five-year plan to accumulate 1,000 BTC through a combination of direct purchases, and mining operations.
As part of this initiative, ATIF Holdings will deploy a hybrid approach in the next five years including:
<ul>
<li>- Direct acquisition of BTC in the open market;</li>
<li>- Building and Operating proprietary BTC mining facilities; and/or acquiring operating BTC mining sites</li>
</ul>
The company has tentatively selected West Texas as the primary location for its proprietary mining operations. This decision is driven by several key factors: Texas' favorable regulatory environment for digital asset mining, abundant and affordable land, and a well-developed, deregulated electricity market with competitive power costs. Additionally, ATIF Holdings aims to implement advanced power utilization strategies to further reduce production costs and enhance overall operational efficiency.
"We view Bitcoin not only as a long-term store of value but also as a strategic asset for growth and diversification," said Kamran Khan, the CEO. "Our investment in mining infrastructure—particularly in a power-efficient region like West Texas—positions us to participate directly in Bitcoin's network while optimizing cost control and scalability."
The planned mining facilities will emphasize energy efficiency, sustainable operations, and smart grid integration, aligning with broader industry trends towards responsible and forward-looking crypto infrastructure development.
The company has purchased BTC in the open market and plans to continue to do so in the near future. &nbsp;&nbsp;
This move marks a significant evolution in ATIF Holdings' business and underscores its commitment to innovation and long-term value creation in emerging technologies.

Former Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CEO Steve Ballmer publicly acknowledged the tech giant&#8217;s critical strategic error in mobile computing. 
What Happened: The admission highlights how overconfidence in Windows prevented Microsoft from capitalizing on the smartphone revolution that propelled Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Samsung Electronics Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) to market dominance.
During his 34-year Microsoft tenure discussion, Ballmer explained during a recent Acquired podcast appearance that Microsoft&#8217;s fundamental miscalculation with its mobile strategy.
&#8220;We were too confident,&#8221; Ballmer stated, describing how the company attempted to force Windows into unsuitable markets rather than developing platform-specific solutions.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t think we stuck with Windows too long. I think what we did is we tried to put Windows in places that it didn&#8217;t naturally go,&#8221; Ballmer said. He cited Windows Mobile and automotive applications as prime examples where Microsoft&#8217;s insistence on Windows APIs and user interfaces created unnatural product experiences.
The former CEO revealed that Microsoft&#8217;s approach stemmed from both &#8220;paranoia and confidence&#8221; in Windows as their &#8220;birthright&#8221; and &#8220;permission to enter&#8221; new market areas. This strategy extended to media center applications and TV integration, where simplified Windows layers failed to compete with purpose-built alternatives.

Why It Matters: Ballmer&#8217;s mobile strategy failure represents one of technology&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45458915/had-microsoft-built-phones-earlier-things-might-look-different-today-steve-ballmers-missed-call-now-worth-289000-to-apple-investors">most expensive missed opportunities</a>. In a 2014 interview, he admitted Microsoft should have pivoted to hardware manufacturing earlier, acknowledging that Apple and Samsung &#8220;both did it by making phones&#8221; to surpass Microsoft&#8217;s profitability leadership.
Microsoft maintains a $3.36 trillion market capitalization as one of the world&#8217;s most valuable companies. Ballmer&#8217;s Windows-centric approach contrasts sharply with CEO Satya Nadella&#8216;s transformation strategy, which embraced cloud services and strategic acquisitions like LinkedIn. Microsoft&#8217;s 2019 investment in OpenAI under Nadella finally enabled the company to challenge Google&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/23/11/35912780/steve-ballmer-vs-satya-nadella-one-microsoft-ceo-would-have-turned-your-1000-investment">dominance after decades of struggle</a>.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd &#8211; ADR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) are facing regulatory delays in launching their artificial intelligence partnership in China, as Beijing withholds approval amid complex U.S.-China trade dynamics. What Happened: The tech giants submitted multiple AI products co-developed for Apple Intelligence services to China&#8217;s Cyberspace Administration this year, but applications remain stalled due to increasing geopolitical uncertainties, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/0c76f3c2-7213-42a5-8f30-b101b7616db0">reported</a> the Financial Times, citing sources.
Apple&#8217;s AI rollout delay comes as the company battles declining market share in China&#8217;s premium smartphone segment.

In its latest move against a major U.S. university, the Trump administration said Columbia University has fallen short of required accreditation standards.
What Happened: On Wednesday, the Education Department formally notified the Middle States Commission on Higher Education that Columbia University violated federal anti-discrimination laws.
According to a statement from Education Secretary Linda McMahon, "Columbia University's leadership acted with deliberate indifference towards the harassment of Jewish students on its campus. This is not only immoral, but also unlawful."
This announcement comes after a joint investigation by the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services, which concluded in May that Columbia displayed "failed to meaningfully protect Jewish students against severe and pervasive harassment on Columbia's campus and consequently denied these students' equal access to educational opportunities to which they are entitled under the law."
The investigation was launched amid pro-Palestinian demonstrations sparked by Israel's attacks on Gaza, which <a href="https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2024/12/amnesty-international-concludes-israel-is-committing-genocide-against-palestinians-in-gaza/">Amnesty International</a>, <a href="https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/12/19/israels-crime-extermination-acts-genocide-gaza">Human Rights Watch</a>, and <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/top-genocide-scholars-unanimous-israel-committing-genocide-gaza-dutch">leading genocide scholars</a> have identified as a genocide.

Why It Matters: A university's ability to access federal funding and maintain academic credibility is dependent on its accreditation status.
A loss of accreditation would risk student eligibility for financial aid programs like Pell Grants and federal loans, which many rely on to afford higher education.
The administration's move against Columbia comes when tensions with Harvard University are ongoing. In April, the administration announced it would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44804541/trump-administration-halts-2-2-billion-in-harvard-grants-after-university-says-dont-dictate-what-we-can-teach-or-who-we-admit">suspend $2.2 billion in federal grants</a> to Harvard University after the school declined to eliminate its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs and proposed vetting international students for ideological beliefs as per their directives.
In May, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45602347/trump-escalates-war-on-ivy-league-harvard-loses-450m-more-in-federal-grants">another $450 million in federal grants</a> was withdrawn. The administration also revoked the university's ability to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45578777/trump-administration-revokes-harvards-ability-to-enroll-international-students-kristi-noem-alleges-coordination-with-chinese-communist-party">enroll international students</a>, which was blocked by a federal judge. On Wednesday, President Donald Trump <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/06/04/us/trump-harvard-student-visas-suspended">issued a proclamation</a> suspending international visas for incoming students at the university.

Trump Administration Says Columbia University Violated Federal Law, Threatens Accreditation Over 'Failure To Protect' Jewish Students During Campus Protests

U.S. stock futures were flat on Thursday after a mixed close on Wednesday. Futures of major benchmark indices were mixed in premarket.
The tepid move followed ADP data showing that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/45768817/us-private-sector-hiring-slows-the-most-in-2-years-powell-must-now-lower-the-rate-trump-says">private payroll additions tumbled</a> in May as weak consumer sentiment and trade policy uncertainty weighed on hiring. 
"ADP number out!!! &#8216;Too Late&#8217; Powell must now lower the rate. He is unbelievable!!! Europe has lowered nine times!" Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social shortly after the release.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.35% and the two-year bond was at 3.87%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 95.6% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its June meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
Ross Gerber, CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth &amp; Investment Management, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45785484/trump-cant-demand-lower-rates-while-creating-inflation-with-tariffs-and-money-printing-says-ross-gerber-backs-feds-patience">backed the Federal Reserve's choice</a> to maintain interest rates, while strongly condemning President Trump's trade and tariff strategies, as well as the fiscal expansion fueling inflation. 
In a Wednesday post on X, Gerber stated that Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell was "doing the right thing" by keeping interest rates unchanged, awaiting a clearer picture of Trump's tariff effects.
Gerber contends that if Trump desires lower interest rates, he should steer clear of inflation-driving policies like the inflationary tariff approach and the "One Big, Beautiful Bill," which will likely increase the fiscal deficit and national debt.
The GOP bill, which narrowly passed the House in May, includes significant tax cuts paired with heightened spending on defense, manufacturing, and infrastructure.
"If Trump wants lower rates, then he should stop working on creating inflation through vast amounts of money printing," he said.

Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates said that tariff negotiations with China were &#8220;hitting an impasse,&#8221; thus he added &#8220;a call between President Xi Jinping and President Trump may be imminent.&#8221;
Contrary to Gerber&#8217;s view, Navellier said that &#8220;The Fed has said inflation is its main priority, but a weak payroll report could cause the Fed to key interest rates sooner rather than later.&#8221;
Meanwhile, Adam Turnquist, the chief technical strategist at LPL Financial, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45787192/nasdaq-100s-premium-valuation-is-easier-to-digest-as-growth-optimism-surges-for-2026-momentum-remains-bullish">hinted in his technical analysis</a> that it was "easier to digest" the Nasdaq 100 index's premium valuation given the growth optimism for 2025 and 2026. 
&#8220;A jump in expected operating margins from 18.0% in 2024 to 23.8% in 2025 and 25.6% in 2026 makes the premium valuation easier to digest (along with the AI-themed tailwinds)," explained Turnquist.
From a technical perspective, Turnquist suggests that the index's "Momentum remains bullish after the recent reset from overbought levels." The Nasdaq 100 has rallied out of a bear market in less than two months.

A new study finds that President Donald Trump's tariff policies are landing hardest on the nation's poorest households, with the bottom income decile bearing the brunt of the economic fallout.
What Happened: On Sunday, Yale University&#8217;s The Budget Lab, a non-partisan policy research center, unveiled <a href="https://budgetlab.yale.edu/research/state-us-tariffs-june-1-2025">its</a> report titled &#8220;State of U.S. Tariffs,&#8221; assessing the impact of Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs across American households and industry. 
The report, which analyzes all U.S. tariffs and foreign retaliation measures implemented through June 1, calculates short-run consumer losses before households shift their spending habits, as they often do in response to shifting market and price dynamics. 
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45786145/trumps-50-steel-tariff-could-drive-up-the-costs-for-automakers-almost-2000-of-cost-for-each-car">Trump&#8217;s 50% Steel Tariff Could Drive Up The Costs For Automakers: &#8216;Almost $2,000 Of Cost For Each Car&#8217;</a>
However, even after the substitution effect kicks in, the study finds a lasting impact on household purchasing power, with consumer prices up 1.3%, and the average American family facing $2,200 in additional annual expenses.
&#8220;Tariffs are functionally a regressive tax,&#8221; the report states, as its findings point to a steep gradient in burden across income brackets. This means that lower-income households are losing a much bigger share of their income to higher prices than those in the higher brackets.
While the second decile also faces a severe reduction in disposable income, wealthier households are far less affected. The top 10% of earners see only a 1% hit, or about $5,000, but as a share of income, the impact is relatively modest.
Clothing, shoes, and vehicle prices have seen the sharpest increases so far, according to the report. Footwear is up 31%, and new vehicle costs have climbed by over $6,000 on average. 
The Yale team has modeled these effects under a &#8220;policy in perpetuity&#8221; assumption, meaning all 2025 tariffs are assumed to remain indefinitely, even those officially labeled temporary.
Beyond households, the macro impacts are mounting, with the report estimating that U.S. GDP will shrink by 0.5 percentage points in 2025, and job losses are expected to reach 376,000 by the end of this year.
Why It Matters: The report is rather tame this time around, with The Budget Lab forecasting a 64% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/retail-sales/25/04/44860532/trumps-tariff-hikes-on-clothing-wont-clobber-shoppers-right-away-heres-why">rise in apparel prices</a> over a month ago, just weeks after the tariffs were announced. It now pegs the figure at 28%. 
Economists on Wall Street are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45353863/new-inflation-data-hits-tuesday-why-it-could-kill-fed-rate-cut-hopes">broadly in consensus</a> that the annual headline inflation rate will remain above 2.4%, ahead of the Fed&#8217;s 2% target for initiating rate cuts, largely attributed to April&#8217;s tariff shock.

Trump's Tariffs Hit Poorer Households The Hardest: Yale's Budget Lab Finds 2.5% Drop In Disposable Income For Bottom Decile

The U.S. Vehicle Suppliers Association has called for immediate measures to address China&#8217;s limited rare earths exports, warning of potential disruptions in auto parts production.
What Happened:&nbsp;The Motor &amp; Equipment Manufacturers Association (MEMA) issued a statement on Wednesday, urging prompt action to resolve the issue of China&#8217;s&nbsp;restricted exports of rare earths,&nbsp;minerals, and magnets. The association warned that the situation could quickly disrupt the production of auto parts,&nbsp;Reuters&nbsp;reported.
China, which dominates more than 90% of the world's rare earth processing capacity, imposed export restrictions in April, mandating that companies secure licenses from Beijing. These measures came in response to a trade war that began when President Donald Trump introduced tariffs on Chinese goods.
The MEMA, in its statement, highlighted the &#8220;serious, real-time risks&#8221; faced by parts companies due to the unresolved situation.&nbsp;The association stressed the immediate need for strong action to avoid major disruptions and economic consequences throughout the vehicle supplier industry.
The report states that the U.S. auto industry is already experiencing the effects of these restrictions. In May, Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) was forced to suspend production of its Explorer SUV at its Chicago plant for a week due to a shortage of rare-earth materials.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45572996/apple-likely-to-open-llms-integrate-gemini-on-iphone-at-wwdc-analyst">gearing up for its annual</a> Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), set to run from June 9 to June 13. The highly anticipated event will once again be held online, with the keynote streaming live from Apple Park in Cupertino, California.
Keynote Details
The WWDC 2025 keynote is scheduled for Monday, June 9, at 1 p.m. ET. Viewers can watch the livestream on Apple's website (apple.com), the Apple TV app and the company's official YouTube channel.
What To Expect
Apple is expected to unveil iOS 19 for the iPhone, along with updates to its full suite of operating systems, including iPadOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS. While last year's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39245542/dont-miss-apples-wwdc-2024-keynote-how-and-where-to-watch-on-june-10">event spotlighted Apple Intelligence</a>—a new suite of AI-powered features—this year's focus is expected to shift toward core software enhancements and developer tools.

Following the keynote, Apple will host its annual "Platforms State of the Union" address, offering a deeper dive into new technologies. The week will feature over 100 technical sessions, as well as group and one-on-one lab sessions for developers.
Spotlight On Students
As part of its ongoing commitment to education, Apple will invite 50 winners of its Swift Student Challenge to attend the event in person at its headquarters in Silicon Valley.
Why It's Important: Despite its status as the third most valuable company in the world right now, with a market cap of $3.029 trillion, Apple has taken a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45716470/nokia-was-worth-40-times-more-than-apple-25-years-ago-when-the-legendary-nokia-3310-was-launched-7-years-later-steve-jobs-ended-the-era-of-dumb-phones-is-the-writing-on-the-wall-for-cupertino-as-i">more cautious approach</a> to the rapid rise of AI that is transforming the tech landscape.

In contrast, competitors such as Alphabet's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google, Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and emerging players like OpenAI are moving quickly to roll out AI-powered tools for both consumers and businesses.
Previously, it was reported that Apple is unlikely to stage a major AI comeback at WWDC 2025. Apple is reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45712700/apples-ai-struggles-to-keep-pace-with-rivals-ahead-of-wwdc-2025">aiming for a stronger AI showing</a> at WWDC 2026, but delaying progress is risky given how fast competitors are advancing.
The most notable AI-related update this year will be the opening of Apple's Foundation Models to third-party developers.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that Apple is experiencing a negative price trend across the short, medium and long term. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">More detailed metrics are available here</a>.

LyondellBasell Enters Into An Agreement And Exclusive Negotiations With AEQUITA For The Sale Of Select Olefins & Polyolefins Assets And The Associated Business In Europe

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has recorded over 13,060 new insured registrations in China as Elon Musk's automaker builds upon its growth in the Chinese market in May.
What Happened: "$TSLA China reported 13,060 insured registrations for the week of May 26-June 1," Future Fund LLC's managing director, Gary Black, said as he shared the data on X on Wednesday.
Tesla's registrations experienced a +2.6% QoQ surge in the 9 weeks. However, the sales are still down -21.4% when compared with last year, the post said.
Black reiterated Tesla's strong may performance. "This was the highest week of the quarter so far," the investor said in the post.

Why It Matters: The data follows Tesla's growth in sales during May in China, with the company recording over 11,000 registrations in the country for two consecutive weeks. The company also saw a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45739130/elon-musks-tesla-defies-european-slump-with-norway-sales-growth-in-may-model-y-comes-to-the-rescue">surge in Norwegian sales</a>, largely driven by the new Model Y.&nbsp;
The data, combined with the growth in Norway, could prove to be a silver lining for Musk's EV giant, which has been struggling with lackluster sales in various markets and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/eurozone/25/06/45736798/tesla-sales-hit-3-year-low-in-this-european-nation-despite-musks-claims-of-no-demand-problem">experiencing record lows</a>.
Elsewhere, the company is also gearing up to launch its Robotaxi on June 12 in Austin.

Elon Musk's Tesla Records Over 13,000 New Registrations In China, Highest Weekly Total This Quarter

As the Nasdaq 100 index is nearly 2% away from its all-time high, analysis suggests that it&#8217;s &#8220;easier to digest&#8221; the index&#8217;s premium valuation given the growth optimism for 2025 and 2026.
What Happened: According to Adam Turnquist, the chief technical strategist at LPL Financial, the Nasdaq 100&#8217;s forward 12-month price-to-earnings ratio at 26.6 was above its 10-year average P/E of 22.0.
&#8220;However, a jump in expected operating margins from 18.0% in 2024 to 23.8% in 2025 and 25.6% in 2026 makes the premium valuation easier to digest (along with the AI-themed tailwinds),&#8221; explained Turnquist.
Apart from this, he highlights that the buying pressure on the index was also &#8220;widespread,&#8221; as only eight stocks are lower since the April 8th low, while the average gain for the rest of the index has been about 25% in the same period. 
From a technical perspective, Turnquist suggests that the index&#8217;s &#8220;Momentum remains bullish after the recent reset from overbought levels.&#8221; The Nasdaq 100 has rallied out of a bear market in less than two months.
This recovery was a result of the administration's pivot to delay reciprocal tariffs in April, progress in trade negotiations, and strong tech earnings, which revealed no signs of a slowdown in artificial intelligence demand or related capital expenditure spending.
&#8220;The NDX vs. S&amp;P 500 ratio chart recently bounced off support and recaptured the 50-/200-dmas. A breakout above the July 2024 highs would indicate a new uptrend is developing, favoring NDX leadership ahead,&#8221; said Turnquist.

Why It Matters: According to the <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data, the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), tracking the Nasdaq 100 index, was trading above its short and long-term simple daily moving averages.
Its relative strength index at 58.97 was in the neutral territory, whereas its MACD line of 3.90 was above the signal line, suggesting that its 12-day exponential moving average was above its 26-day EMA.
These technical indicators signaled a largely bullish trend for QQQ.

Price Action: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and QQQ, which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, ended on a mixed note on Wednesday. The SPY was down 0.027% at $595.93, while the QQQ advanced 0.28% to $528.77, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
The futures of the S&amp;P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Dow Jones were lower on Thursday.
