The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that seeks long-term capital appreciation. As a fund of funds, it invests its assets in shares of other ETFs and, to a limited extent, other exchange traded products (ETPs). The Fund primarily invests in affiliated ETFs managed by Tidal Investments LLC (the Adviser), but it may also invest in unaffiliated ETFs and ETPs (collectively, Underlying ETFs). The Fund will not invest in ETFs that are also structured as fund-of-funds or in ETFs that invest more than 10 percent of their assets in other investment companies and private funds. The Fund will typically hold between 10 and 25 Underlying ETFs. The Fund may invest in both actively managed and passively managed Underlying ETFs. The Fund will distribute income, if any, on an annual basis. The Funds portfolio will be rebalanced to the 25 percent target allocations whenever the Fund adds a new Underlying ETF, removes an existing Underlying ETF, or substitutes Underlying ETFs within its portfolio. Additionally, the Funds portfolio managers will adjust the Funds allocations to restore the 25 percent target allocations if any basket exceeds 30 percent of the Funds total value.

Gold Vs. Bitcoin: Which Is The Better Reserve Asset And Why? Experts Weigh In
The recent announcement of government-backed crypto reserves by President Trump has sparked significant debate about the future of digital currencies as reserve assets and Bitcoin's viability as a reserve asset is an evolving theme in the discussion.
Bitcoin is long seen as a hedge against inflation but its price volatility has hindered its adoption as a stable reserve asset.
With the introduction of crypto reserves by the U.S. Government &#8211; Bitcoin&#8217;s legitimacy could be enhanced in the global economy. But will this make Bitcoin a safer reserve asset, or will its volatility continue to undermine its reliability? A new administration in four years could possibly dissolve the crypto reserve, so what are the guarantees?
On the other hand, Gold has maintained its status as the cornerstone of global reserves due to its stability, limited supply, and intrinsic value. But the shiny, yellow metal does have significant drawbacks when used as a reserve asset, including limited growth potential, lack of income generation, and vulnerability to theft among other concerns.
Senator Cynthia Lummis has proposed legislation aimed at leveraging gold certificates stored in the Federal Reserve&#8217;s 12 banks to finance future bitcoin purchases. So, is selling gold to buy Bitcoin a good idea?
We turned to our contributors for opinions and analysis. They rose to the challenge with their nuanced perspectives…
John Alexander Sinclair sees Bitcoin as a stronger reserve asset. While acknowledging Gold&#8217;s historical role as a store of value, Dr. Sinclair cites its physical limitations—transport, storage, and divisibility—that contrast sharply with Bitcoin's advantages in a digital world.
"Bitcoin is decentralized, portable, and censorship-resistant, making it an ideal hedge against financial instability and government intervention. Unlike gold, Bitcoin can be moved globally in seconds, providing a level of liquidity unmatched by any other asset," argues&nbsp;Sinclair.&nbsp;
Julia Khandoshko perceives Bitcoin as a high-potential but dependent asset. "It is a relatively new asset class that has shown remarkable growth and volatility. Bitcoin's decentralization and fixed supply make it an attractive option for those looking to escape traditional monetary policies. But Bitcoin's value is deeply intertwined with technological trends, regulatory decisions, and macroeconomic factors such as interest rate policies. Its price swings are often dictated by investor sentiment, regulatory developments, and broader economic factors."&nbsp;
Sinclair affirms that volatility concerns with bitcoin are valid, but he also points out that Bitcoin has survived multiple bear markets and consistently rebounded stronger. "Institutional adoption continues to grow, with major financial firms integrating Bitcoin into their portfolios. The emergence of spot Bitcoin ETFs has further legitimized its status as a mainstream asset."
Now, the introduction of crypto reserves further solidifies Bitcoin's position and credibility.&nbsp;
Kadan Stadelmann likes the idea of a bitcoin reserve, just not in isolation though. "The United States stockpiles strategic assets like gold, which bolster financial stability. The petroleum reserves safeguard against economic shocks. A Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is the same idea, but in the digital realm. It could act as a financial hedge. Like the gold reserve, it could help support the U.S. Dollar."
And, Stadelmann is against selling gold to accumulate Bitcoin. "It's not a sound strategy. Substituting Bitcoin for gold at the nation-state level is a very risky prospect. Bitcoin is digital gold. Gold is physical gold. Each serves its own purpose. The Bitcoin Reserve should not replace the U.S.' gold stockpile. Instead, it should diversify the U.S.' balance sheet alongside gold."
Julia Khandoshko agrees with Stadelmann's viewpoint. "Investors need to understand that buying Bitcoin is not just acquiring a digital commodity; it's an investment in a system that is influenced by multiple external forces, including institutional adoption, regulatory stances, and market speculation. On the other hand, gold is a timeless and independent asset. Its independence from financial systems makes it an unparalleled hedge against inflation and economic crises. In contrast to gold's stability, Bitcoin's performance is more akin to that of a high-growth technology stock."
Khandoshko leans towards gold. "Unlike fiat currencies or other financial instruments, gold does not rely on external policies, government regulations, or market sentiment. It is simply gold—an asset that does not require investors to track political developments, interest rate decisions, or macroeconomic policies."
But Sinclair is quick to cite Bitcoin's added advantage of transparency. "Every transaction is verifiable on the blockchain, reducing risks associated with gold reserves, which can be manipulated or rehypothecated. Moreover, Bitcoin's scarcity—capped at 21 million coins—mirrors gold's limited supply."
How does Khandoshko view Bitcoin as a reserve asset?
She thinks that Bitcoin's potential as a reserve asset depends on how investors perceive its role in the financial ecosystem. "While some argue that it represents the future of digital wealth storage, others see it as a speculative asset influenced by unpredictable external factors. Gold, on the other hand, continues to be a universal standard of value that requires no external validation."
So, does she consider gold a better reserve asset compared to Bitcoin?
Khandoshko responds in the affirmative, "While Bitcoin may offer impressive growth opportunities, gold remains a steadfast store of value that does not rely on economic policies or market trends. For those seeking a truly independent asset, gold still holds the upper hand in 2025."
To Sinclair, Bitcoin remains the most compelling choice, as nations and corporations look for a digital alternative to traditional reserves.
And Stadelmann believes that "From a geopolitical perspective, the US should look to dominate the sound money space in both the physical and digital realms by maintaining its gold reserves while adding a Bitcoin Reserve."

Decoding ARM Holdings's Options Activity: What's the Big Picture?

Needham analyst Bernie McTernan downgraded Beyond, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYON#NYSE">BYON</a>) from Buy to Hold<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BYON/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener"> and removed the prior price forecast of $9.</a>
The analyst suggests that the risk-reward for Beyond shares has become less favorable due to significant reductions in revenue estimates over the past six months.
While management has successfully cut costs and improved margins, the analyst adds that there was more unprofitable revenue than originally anticipated.
According to the analyst, the company is still expected to reach adjusted EBITDA-positive, but this milestone is now pushed out to 2027, which could lead to increased volatility in the stock as the company navigates its turnaround.

The analyst projects the company to report FY25 EBITDA of $(59.6) million, compared with the previous estimate of $(68.7) million.
The analyst acknowledges that margins have performed better than expected, primarily due to improved sales and marketing efforts. Meanwhile, there are concerns about the company&#8217;s ability to simultaneously accelerate revenue growth while maintaining efficiency in sales and marketing, particularly through leveraging their customer database and email marketing program.
In the base case scenario, the analyst credits Beyond for several initiatives, including continued gross margin expansion, better leverage of fixed operating expenses, and more efficient sales and marketing.
Despite these positive factors, the analyst remains concerned about the company&#8217;s adjusted EBITDA performance.

Beyond's Road To Profitability Gets Bumpier: Analyst Warns Of Volatility As EBITDA Milestone Delayed

A 23-year-old named John called into the "EntreLeadership" podcast back in November, hoping for some career guidance. Instead, he got a brutal reality check. The video, titled "<a href="https://youtu.be/YyhorJOB_qg?si=VZL8AuCcCdcXFRsN">Dave Ramsey Calls Out This Entitled 23-Year-Old</a>," captured a conversation where Ramsey didn't hold back, telling John exactly why his situation wasn't as unfair as he thought.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Not a Side Hustle—It's Dad's Business</h2>
John had been working at his father's business for a few years, pulling in a salary of $65,000 with annual bonuses that brought his earnings up to around $115,000. Despite that, he felt stuck. He was doing the work of two or three people, had no control over the company's decisions, and was convinced he could make even more if he struck out on his own. On top of that, he and his wife had started a business in the marine industry, bringing in about $40,000 in revenue this year. But there was one glaring issue—he was using his father's CNC machine to do it.

<ul>
<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share!</a></li>
<li>If you invested $100 in DOGE when Elon Musk first tweeted about it in 2019,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/etoro-doge"> here&#8217;s how much you&#8217;d have today</a>.</li>
</ul>
<a href="https://youtu.be/YyhorJOB_qg?si=VZL8AuCcCdcXFRsN">Ramsey immediately honed in</a> on that. "Wait, wait, wait… I thought you had a side hustle," he said, only to realize the truth. "If your dad owns the equipment, the business, and the revenue, then it's not a side hustle. You expanded his business. This is part of running the business. It has nothing to do with a side hustle."
John admitted the LLC was in his father's name, but he still insisted that he and his wife were running it. Ramsey wasn't buying it. The reality was simple—John didn't own anything. His father had built the foundation, provided the tools, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42726864/dave-ramsey-thinks-social-security-is-a-mathematical-disaster-but-still-says-it-makes-more-sense-to-take-it-at-62-almost-every-time">ultimately controlled the money</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Planning to Compete Against His Own Father</h2>
Then came John's main gripe—his regular job. He believed he could make more money if he went independent, even claiming that in one day, he could earn enough to cover his family's monthly expenses. But there was a problem—his plan involved competing directly with his father's business.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
John asked if it would be ethical to start his own company in the same field, and Ramsey didn't hesitate. "No," he shot back. "The reason is, you think you're only being paid for installing. What you're forgetting is, part of what your company's being paid for is your father's name, reputation, and reliability that you had nothing to do with creating."
John tried to argue that two of their biggest clients had come to him first, but Ramsey wasn't having it. "You were running around in short pants while he was doing that," he said bluntly. John might have built relationships, but those clients found the business because of his father's and grandfather's reputation. "You're standing on the shoulders of giants, and you don't know it."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Reality Check</h2>
Then came the biggest gut punch. Ramsey told John exactly what his problem was: "You think you're all that more than you are, and you're an installer right now." The reality was, John wasn't the one who had built the business—he was simply benefiting from generations of hard work. "Give yourself a little time, hun. Stay in the oven and cook up a little more."

Ramsey didn't tell John to abandon his ambitions, but he made it clear—he wasn't ready to go out on his own yet. Instead of rushing to break away, he should be asking his father to teach him the deeper aspects of running a business: hiring, operations, and long-term strategy.
"I think there's about 30% of this whole thing that you think you're doing, that you're not doing," Ramsey told him.
It wasn't the answer John wanted, but it was the one he needed. Jumping ship too early could be a lot harder than he and his wife imagined.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Salary Most 23-Year-Olds Would Envy</h2>
According to data from <a href="https://dqydj.com/average-median-top-salary-by-age-percentiles/">DQYDJ</a>, the average annual salary for a 23-year-old in the U.S. is $36,977, while <a href="https://www.capitalone.com/learn-grow/money-management/what-is-the-average-salary-in-the-us-by-age/">Capital One</a> reports that the median income for those aged 20-24 is $39,104. In comparison, John is making well over $100,000—<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">more than three times the average</a> for his age group.
While John's frustration about wanting to branch out and take control of his career is understandable—especially with an entrepreneurial mindset—it's hard to ignore just how enviable his financial position already is. Ramsey made it clear that John's perspective wasn't just ambitious—it was entitled.

Jefferies Maintains Buy on CrowdStrike Holdings, Lowers Price Target to $425

Blockchain analytics firm bitsCrunch has acquired Nidum AI, a decentralized AI computing platform, to establish a global network of high-performance AI compute nodes, the company announced on Wednesday. 
The acquisition integrates Nidum AI's distributed computational resources into bitsCrunch's operations, aiming to enhance AI-driven analytics for blockchain applications. 
Alongside the purchase, bitsCrunch launched a decentralized AI ecosystem, designating its (CRYPTO: BCUT) token as the sole currency for accessing services within this network.
The deal brings Nidum AI's infrastructure—connecting AI developers with computational power worldwide—under bitsCrunch's umbrella, a move rooted in the latter's focus on blockchain forensics and data insights. 
The ecosystem employs Tensor and Pipeline parallelism to split complex AI tasks across multiple nodes, targeting faster model training and inference for applications like fraud detection and risk assessment. 
bitsCrunch claims this structure cuts costs to roughly 1/100th of competitors like OpenAI and Grok, though independent verification of this figure remains pending. 
The $BCUT token, already traded on exchanges such as ByBit, KuCoin, and Uniswap (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/uni/usd">UNI</a>), will now facilitate payments for these services, tying its utility directly to the ecosystem's functionality.

Vijay Pravin, bitsCrunch's Founder and CEO, framed the acquisition as a strategic expansion with global implications. 
"This strategic acquisition demonstrates the scale of our ambition to be a leading force in the decentralization of AI," he said, noting Nidum AI's origins as an Indian counterpoint to centralized AI giants like OpenAI. 
"Our native $BCUT token will serve as the exclusive currency of a thriving, decentralized AI marketplace," he added, emphasizing its role in linking users and developers. 
The ecosystem targets financial institutions, regulators, and investors, offering tools for real-time compliance and threat detection in digital transactions.
The acquisition follows bitsCrunch's work in multi-chain analytics, where it serves retail and institutional clients with AI-powered forensics. 
Nidum AI's technology adds a layer of distributed computing power, potentially broadening bitsCrunch's reach into industries reliant on scalable AI. 
However, the integration's success hinges on execution—connecting a global developer base with compute resources poses logistical and technical challenges. 
Competing platforms like io.net (CRYPTO: IO) and Gaia (CRYPTO: GAIA) also vie for dominance in decentralized AI computing, raising questions about bitsCrunch's ability to differentiate itself beyond cost claims.

BitsCrunch Acquires Nidum AI To Build Decentralized AI Compute Network

On Tuesday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) placed a clinical hold on BioNTech SE&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNTX#NASDAQ">BNTX</a>) Investigational New Drug application (IND) and the related Phase 1/2a trial evaluating the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and efficacy of an investigational RNA-based vaccine (BNT165e) for prevention of P. falciparum <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech" rel="noreferrer noopener">malaria in healthy malaria-naive adults</a>.
The multi-antigen malaria vaccine (designated BNT165e) is a combination of three distinct RNAs, BNT165c and BNT165d (composed of BNT165d1 and BNT165d2).

The <a target="_blank" href="https://clinicaltrials.biontech.com/trials/BNT165-02" rel="noreferrer noopener">trial</a> was expected to enroll around 177 participants and conclude in September 2025. BioNTech has proactively paused the study, the SEC <a target="_blank" href="https://investors.biontech.de/node/16966/html" rel="noreferrer noopener">filing</a> noted, and is taking actions to address the FDA&#8217;s requests and will work with the FDA to assess the next steps.
In October, the FDA imposed a partial clinical hold on BioNTech&#8217;s partner,&nbsp;OncoC4 Inc.&#8217;s Phase 3 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41434586/fda-presses-clinical-hold-button-for-biontechs-partner-late-stage-trial-of-investigational-lung-c" rel="noreferrer noopener">PRESERVE-003 trial</a>. Varying outcomes between patients with squamous and non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer triggered the partial hold.
Also in August, the FDA lifted the partial clinical hold on MediLink Therapeutics&#8217; Phase 1 trial for BNT326/YL202, a HER3-targeting <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/08/40440731/fda-allows-resumption-of-biontechmedilink-therapeutics-partnered-phase-1-study-for-cancer-drug-wi" rel="noreferrer noopener">antibody-drug conjugate</a>.
The decision, announced on August 15, follows the submission of a complete response that includes data analysis, updated documentation, and additional risk mitigation measures.
Price Action: BNTX stock is up 3.11% at $113.06&nbsp;at the last check Wednesday.
