Market Whales and Their Recent Bets on SPOT Options

Epic Games&#8216; popular battle royale game &#8220;Fortnite&#8221; has returned to Apple Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) App Store in the United States after a nearly five-year absence, marking a significant shift in the mobile app ecosystem following a federal court ruling against Apple&#8217;s payment practices.
What Happened: Fortnite became available again on Apple&#8217;s iOS systems in the U.S. on Tuesday, ending a ban that began in 2020 when Apple removed the game from its platform amid a dispute over in-app payment commissions, as reported by Reuters. 
The return follows an April 30 ruling by a federal judge stating that Apple violated a U.S. court order requiring the company to allow greater competition for app downloads and payment methods.
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney celebrated the return on social media platform X, posting &#8220;We back fam.&#8221; Sweeney has also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/04/45123864/apple-ordered-to-ease-app-store-rules-in-us-epic-games-ceo-tim-sweeney-proposes-peace-deal-saying-well-return-fortnite-and-drop-all-litigation-only-if">proposed a peace deal</a>, offering to return Fortnite to the App Store worldwide and abandon all litigation if Apple relaxes its App Store rules globally. He revealed that battling Apple over the past five years has cost Epic Games over $1 billion, but he believes it was worth it.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45537919/fda-limits-annual-covid-19-boosters-to-high-risk-americans-demands-new-trials-for-healthy-adults-in-policy-shift-under-rfk-jr">FDA Limits Annual COVID-19 Boosters To High-Risk Americans, Demands New Trials For Healthy Adults In Policy Shift Under RFK Jr.</a>
Why It Matters: Apple has expressed apprehension over the potential financial consequences of the contempt ruling, warning it could lead to &#8220;substantial&#8221; financial losses estimated at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45277610/apple-warns-of-hundreds-of-millions-to-billions-dollar-losses-over-epic-games-ruling-seeks-stay-amid-app-store-shakeup">&#8220;hundreds of millions to billions&#8221;</a> of dollars annually.
The decision effectively prevents Apple from charging its usual commission of up to 30% on in-app payments for developers who direct users to alternative payment methods.
For Epic Games, this victory comes after a lengthy legal battle that began in 2020 when both Apple and Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Google banned Fortnite from their stores over in-app payment disputes. The game had already returned to Android devices worldwide and iPhones in the European Union last year.

Editor&rsquo;s note: This article was originally published on Forbes in September 2024. It has been updated in May 2025 to reflect new milestones, metrics and brand expansions.
<div>
<hr /></div>
&quot;I never thought long-form content would be something I would fall in love with,&quot; says Thomas Araujo, better known to millions as <a href="https://elplanteo.com/dope-as-yola/">Dope as Yola</a>. As he launches new business ventures and celebrates personal milestones, his journey from cannabis enthusiast to cultural icon offers a compelling narrative of passion, perseverance and authenticity.
Born and raised in a community where <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis">cannabis culture</a> was both a refuge and a taboo, Thomas discovered his love for the plant at a young age. Despite societal stigma, he found in cannabis a friend, a constant in his life even as everything else changed. &quot;My relationship with weed is a friend that never moved out,&quot; he shares, reflecting on his early days of experimentation and exploration.
In 2012, at the age of 22, Thomas debuted as Dope as Yola, carving out a niche in the burgeoning world of cannabis content creation. His early videos featured product reviews and playful recreations of famous movie scenes with a cannabis twist. &quot;I was showing my face with weed on Instagram before anybody else, so I got a huge following,&quot; he recalls. These early efforts laid the groundwork for what would become a massive, dedicated fanbase.
<h2>Forget Adventure Time: It&rsquo;s Story Time!</h2>
The breakthrough came with his &quot;Story Time&quot; segments, where he recounted personal anecdotes with humor and honesty. These stories resonated with viewers, many of whom saw themselves in his experiences. &quot;When I look back, I realize the amount of stupid things I&#39;ve done. And I think people can relate to it,&quot; Thomas explains. The organic connection he fostered with his audience was key to his growth, creating a community that felt more like friends than followers.
Also read:&nbsp;<a class="post-card-article-link" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/25/05/45263739/they-turned-fruit-bouquets-into-a-500m-a-year-businessnow-theyre-selling-thc-heres-why">They Turned Fruit Bouquets Into A $500 Million-A-Year Business&mdash;Now They&#39;re Selling THC. Here&#39;s Why</a>
As his popularity soared, so did his ventures. Thomas co-founded The Dopest Shop, offering hemp-derived products that provide a federally legal alternative to THC. Partnering with John Castaldi and Claudio Hand, he launched a range of disposable vapes, vape cartridges, edibles, concentrates and pre-rolls. &quot;Cannabinoids like THCA are naturally occurring, found in cannabis, and provide extremely similar effects as THC,&quot; Claudio explains. The product line quickly filled a niche in states where THC remains illegal, bringing high-quality cannabis experiences to underserved areas.
<h2>Pushing Boundaries: The Growth Of Push Trees</h2>
Thomas&rsquo;s clothing brand, Push Trees, has become a symbol of his entrepreneurial evolution. Originally launched as a fun side project to support his content creation, it quickly grew into a business cornerstone. Reflecting on the brand&rsquo;s growth, Thomas acknowledges its pivotal role in his journey: &quot;This brand has fully supported me on my content creation journey; it&#39;s the ONLY way I was able to financially survive.&quot;
Over the years, Thomas faced the unique challenges of building a streetwear brand closely tied to cannabis culture. However, the organic, grassroots support from his fanbase helped him break through. &quot;Our biggest obstacle has always been growth and getting the name out there, but we have fully overcome that hump with the authentic dedication from our fan base,&quot; he explains.
In a pivotal moment for Push Trees, Thomas secured a partnership with Zumiez, a popular action sports retailer. His condition was clear: &quot;The process took 5 days, 1 meeting, and the deal was done&hellip; with one condition. That condition is that I retain 100% creative control of every single aspect.&quot; As of 2025, Push Trees is available in over 200 Zumiez locations nationwide. The brand&rsquo;s rapid growth reflects the power of genuine fan support. &quot;We sold out in almost all of the stores within 4 days of launching,&quot; Thomas proudly notes.
<h2>Going Mainstream: A Spotify Partnership, A TED Talk&hellip; What Else?</h2>
Another defining moment in Thomas&rsquo;s career came when his &quot;Dope As Usual&quot; podcast caught the attention of Spotify (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/spot#NYSE">SPOT</a>). What started as a routine upload to the platform evolved into a full-fledged partnership. &quot;The process with Spotify was extremely organic&hellip; we just upload our podcast to their platform like any other show would,&quot; he says.
The &quot;Dope As Usual&quot; podcast quickly gained traction, ranking in Spotify&rsquo;s top 25 comedy shows globally within its first month. As of May 2025, the podcast has amassed tens of millions of views and more than 2 billion minutes of watch time, even becoming a big hit in Europe. Early access to Spotify&#39;s video features amplified their reach.
Thomas and his co-host, Marty O&rsquo;Neill, made history as the first podcast duo to present at a TED Talk. Their talk, &quot;Business in the Digital Age,&quot; focused on resilience and adaptability. &quot;We needed to be on our A-game and show the world that cannabis and content creation can be viable businesses that should be taken seriously,&quot; Thomas explains.
Beyond media, Thomas is expanding into new entrepreneurial territory with the launch of his rolling paper brand. The idea began in 2019 with Raw Rolling Papers and has since evolved into a collaboration with Blazy Susan. While the release date has not yet been announced, the drop is expected soon.

&quot;I want to approach this marketing direction the same way I do everything else&mdash;authentically going from hand to hand, fan to fan&hellip; word of mouth is more powerful than any ad in my eyes,&quot; Thomas asserts. This ethos extends to all of Thomas&rsquo;s ventures: prioritizing authenticity over flashy ads.
<h2>The &lsquo;Weedtuber&rsquo; Who Made It&mdash;Big</h2>
With approximately 1.97 million YouTube subscribers as of May 2025, Thomas is on the verge of becoming the first &quot;weedtuber&quot; to hit 2 million. &quot;I think the reason I continue to grow on YouTube (despite the pushback) is because I&#39;m truly just having fun, showing you places you may have never heard of, strains from around the world, events you may have not been able to make,&quot; he says.
Beyond cannabis, it&rsquo;s Thomas&rsquo;s relatability that resonates. &quot;My stories seem to resonate with people because of the raw truth that comes with them. I always want to make sure I let people know it&rsquo;s okay to mess up, not know what to do next, or feel lost&hellip; We all have, and you are not alone,&quot; he says.
Looking ahead, Thomas plans to continue growing The Dopest Shop, expand Push Trees into new retail locations and scale his rolling paper brand. With every move, he reaffirms what makes him unique in the cannabis and content world: an unshakable commitment to authenticity and community.

From Cannabis YouTuber To Spotify Star: Dope As Yola Says 'Word Of Mouth Beats Ads'

On CNBC's &#8220;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2025/05/07/final-trades-shake-shack-wynn-resorts-spotify-and-the-iyf.html">Halftime Report Final Trades</a>,&#8221; Joshua Brown, CEO of Ritholtz Wealth Management, said he is bullish on Shake Shack Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHAK#NYSE">SHAK</a>), which reported quarterly earnings last week. The company will open 40 to 50 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SHAK/earnings">new company-operated stores this year, he noted.</a>
On May 1, the company reported quarterly adjusted earnings per share of 14 cents, missing the street view of 16 cents. Quarterly sales of $320.90 million (up 10.5%) missed the analyst consensus estimate of $328.08 million.
Jim Lebenthal of Cerity Partners said the international expansion makes Wynn Resorts, Limited (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WYNN#NASDAQ">WYNN</a>) a growth stock.
On the earnings front, Wynn Resorts reported quarterly earnings of $1.07 per share on May 6, which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $1.19 per share. The company also reported quarterly sales of $1.70 billion, which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $1.74 billion.

<h3>About Spotify Technology</h3>
Spotify is the leading global music streaming service provider, with nearly 700 million monthly active users and over 250 million paying subscribers, with the latter constituting the firm's premium segment. Most of the firm's revenue and nearly all its gross profit come from the subscribers, who pay a monthly fee to access a music library that consists of most of the most popular songs ever recorded, including all from the major record labels. The firm also sells separate audiobook subscriptions and integrates podcasts within its standard music app. Podcast content is not exclusive and is typically free to access on other platforms. Ad-supported users can access a similar music catalog but cannot customize a similar on-demand experience.

Decoding Spotify Technology's Options Activity: What's the Big Picture?

In a week dominated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">by earnings buzz</a>, a seismic shift in the app economy flew under the radar: a federal court gutted Apple Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) 27% commission on alternative in-app payments &#8211; handing Epic a big win and developers a rare moment of leverage.
JPMorgan analyst Cory A. Carpenter says the ruling didn't get nearly the attention it deserved.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Epic Gets The Last Laugh &#8211; For Now</h2>
After a multi-year legal saga, Apple's attempt to cling to commissions on external payments has unraveled. The latest ruling declares that Apple cannot charge a commission on alternative payments, effective immediately. That's already materialized in Spotify Technology SA's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) latest app update, which Carpenter notes was approved without commission fees.
Developers are expected to jump on the opportunity. We expect &#8220;developers to flood the app store with similar updates in the coming days," said Carpenter.
Apple is appealing the decision. But unlike before, it must comply in the meantime—developers have at least two months to implement zero-commission alternatives unless the Ninth Circuit grants a stay.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Google: The Chill Bystander</h2>
Meanwhile, "Google Play transactions are not impacted by this ruling." That's because Alphabet Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Google already offers its "User Choice" billing in many countries, with slightly lower fees &#8211; 11% for subscriptions and 26% for in-app purchases.
Carpenter points out that "Google's subscription service fee of 15% is already half that of Apple's 30% service fee."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Margin Gains Incoming?</h2>
If the ruling holds, developers stand to benefit. Carpenter estimates annual margin boosts of:
<ul>
<li>Match Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTCH#NASDAQ">MTCH</a>)/Bumble Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bmbl#NASDAQ">BMBL</a>): 3–6%</li>
<li>Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ttwo#NASDAQ">TTWO</a>): 1–2%</li>
<li>Electronic Arts Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EA#NASDAQ">EA</a>): ~0.5%</li>
<li>Playstudios Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/myps#NASDAQ">MYPS</a>): 3–7%</li>
</ul>
AppLovin Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APP#NASDAQ">APP</a>) may also gain indirectly as developers redirect savings to user acquisition.
A decision on the stay could take two months. But for now, the power dynamic has shifted &#8211; if only temporarily.

Consumer Tech News (Apr 28-May 2): Trump May Ease Auto Part Tariffs,  House Republicans Tabled $250 Charge On EV & More

Loop Capital analyst Alan Gould maintains Spotify Technology (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) with a Hold and raises the price target from $435 to $550.

Loop Capital Maintains Hold on Spotify Technology, Raises Price Target to $550

On Thursday, Spotify Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) said that it had submitted an updated version of its app to Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) that includes an external link for U.S. users to purchase subscriptions outside the App Store.
What Happened: The move follows a ruling by U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, who found that Apple had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45126668/apple-lied-under-oath-judge-says-tim-cook-ignored-internal-warnings-in-epic-games-case-fallout-this-is-an-injunction-not-a-negotiation">failed to comply</a> with her 2021 injunction in the Epic Games antitrust lawsuit.
In an 80-page decision issued Wednesday, Judge Rogers said Apple's attempts to introduce new fees on off-app purchases violated the spirit of her original order.

Apple responded by stating it strongly disagrees with the ruling but would comply while it appeals the decision.
"The fact that we haven&#8217;t been able to deliver these basic services, which were permitted by the judge&#8217;s order four years ago, is absurd," the company said in a blog post.

Why It's Important: After the court&#8217;s ruling, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/04/45123864/apple-ordered-to-ease-app-store-rules-in-us-epic-games-ceo-tim-sweeney-proposes-peace-deal-saying-well-return-fortnite-and-drop-all-litigation-only-if">proposed ending all ongoing litigation</a> if Apple expands its compliance.
Meeting Epic's conditions would require Apple to drop its global commissions on purchases made outside the App Store and lift restrictions on linking to external payment platforms—changes that could deal a major blow to Apple's lucrative services revenue.
Price Action: On Thursday, Apple stock gained 0.39% during regular trading before dropping 3.78% in after-hours trading, closing at $205.25, per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>. On the same day, Spotify ended 1.9% lower at $602.26 in the regular trading and fell 0.72% in the after-hours session.
According to Benzinga Edge's Stock Rankings, Apple holds a growth score of 44.64% and a momentum score of 44.65%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it stacks up against other leading tech stocks</a>.

Pre-Market Outlook

TRIP

5 Stock Picks For April From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

As "macro uncertainty" and President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs become the go-to scapegoats for CEOs this earnings season, fund manager Gary Black isn&#8217;t buying it.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Black posted on X, citing former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's famous quote, &#8220;Never let a good crisis go to waste,&#8221; as he accused CEOs of using tariffs and economic uncertainty as cover during earnings season to justify either pulling or scaling back their 2025 guidance.
Black finds it all the more absurd that companies that have nothing to do with imported goods are now blaming the &#8220;Trump tariffs&#8221; for their underperformance.

He then highlights companies such as General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), United Parcel Service Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>), and Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>), all companies that released their earnings on Tuesday, with all three of them citing tariff-related uncertainties to with their guidance for the full year.

<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Rahm Emanuel former mayor of Chicago famously said: "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste." And so it is with CEOs, who as they report earnings are blaming the economic uncertainty caused by Trump's tariffs to either withdraw or scale back FY'25 guidance even if they…
&mdash; Gary Black (@garyblack00) <a href="https://twitter.com/garyblack00/status/1917240039928725516?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 29, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
While General Motors and United Parcel Service have at least some cover to lay the blame on macroeconomic headwinds, Spotify, a music streaming service, doesn&#8217;t.
Why It Matters: Gary Black, the founder of The Future Fund LLC, has been critical of the tariffs for quite some time, predicting a cut in spending by businesses and consumers <a href="https://benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44758150/gary-black-expects-consumers-and-businesses-to-cut-spending-ahead-of-earnings-season-warns-of-a-lasting-damage-to-the-economy">several weeks ago</a>.

Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities, too, had <a href="https://benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44670176/nvidia-apple-top-names-to-own-cybersecurity-stocks-to-outperform-tech-analyst-dan-ives-says">predicted early this month</a> that most companies will not offer a guidance for the full-year during their first quarter earnings call, once again citing the unpredictability of the macro environment.
