Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It enables peer-to-peer electronic cash transactions without intermediaries like banks or governments, operating on a blockchain secured by Proof of Work mining and the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm.   With a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins and programmatic halvings every four years that reduce miner rewards, Bitcoin is designed as a deflationary digital asset often called "digital gold." Its value stems from solving the double-spending problem without trusted intermediaries, creating the first truly scarce digital asset with censorship resistance and permissionless access that no government, corporation, or individual can control.  Bitcoin operates as a decentralized peer-to-peer network where transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, distributed across thousands of computers globally. Transactions are grouped into blocks added approximately every 10 minutes through mining, where specialized computers compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles.   Bitcoin has achieved mainstream adoption through multiple vectors. The January 2024 SEC approval of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs opened Bitcoin investment to traditional finance participants, and corporations like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) are using Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset to protect against currency debasement, offering MSTR holders amplified exposure to Bitcoin.   The Bitcoin ecosystem continues to evolve with innovations like Ordinals, which emerged in January 2023 to enable NFT-like functionality directly on Bitcoin, and BRC-20 tokens, an experimental standard for creating fungible tokens using Ordinal inscriptions. BTCFi (Bitcoin Finance) represents emerging financial applications extending beyond Bitcoin's traditional role, with protocols like Babylon allowing Bitcoin holders to stake BTC to secure Proof of Stake chains.

Chinese EV makers relying on budget electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles are taking the biggest hits from the policy change, it added.Chinese EV giant BYD held just 7.1% market share in the two months, putting it in the fourth position, as per the report. BYD previously overtook Volkswagen as the largest carmaker in China by sales in 2024, retaining the title in 2025 as well.However, Volkswagen has begun production of its first model with Chinese EV maker XPeng. The automaker is looking to launch more than 20 new EV models in China this year, as per Reuters.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Investor Take On BYD</h2>Despite the sales slump, Michael Burry, the investor famous for predicting the U.S. housing crash and profiled in Michael Lewis’ book “The Big Short,” <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/byd-haidilao-pdd-michael-burry-chinese-stocks-earnings/cZdMrucRIBM">called</a> BYD one of the world’s most technologically advanced automakers because of its vertically integrated model.

He added that the design is cheaper and safer than the nickel-manganese-cobalt batteries widely used by rivals like Tesla.Burry rated the stock 7 out of 10, calling it a “mild buy” and said he would be an “aggressive buyer at HK$75 or better, if the thesis still holds at that time.”<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BYDDF">BYDDF stock</a> rose from ‘bearish’ to ‘neutral’ territory over the past 24 hours while message volume remained at ‘high’ levels.&nbsp;Read More: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/why-carvana-stock-is-rising-today-first-stock-split/cZdDgayRIay">CVNA Stock Climbs 3% Pre-Market After Carvana Board Approves First Ever Stock Split</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Michael Burry said Chinese stocks have suffered “1929-style crashes while the businesses kept growing.”</li><li>He said a reversal in sentiment could unlock “significant upside potential” for Hong Kong-listed companies.</li><li>Haidilao was Burry’s top pick, with the hot-pot chain generating about $870 million in free cash flow in 2024.</li></ul>Michael Burry, the investor famous for predicting the U.S. housing crash and profiled in Michael Lewis’ book “The Big Short,” said he currently favors one Chinese stock among BYD, Haidilao and PDD as investors brace for their earnings reports expected later this month.PDD is set to report earnings on March 19, BYD on March 23, and Haidilao on March 31.In a blog post on Hong Kong-listed companies, Burry said that Chinese equities “have had 1929-style crashes while the businesses kept growing. This has never happened in market history going back to 1900.”<h2 class="st-heading-2">Burry Sees Rebound In Hong Kong Stocks</h2>Burry attributed the plunge in Chinese equities to regulatory shocks, macro turmoil, and battered investor sentiment, rather than failing fundamentals. He cited Beijing's crackdown on tech firms, the 2021 global asset bubble burst, China's property market collapse, and COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns as the key culprits. But when sentiment turns, he argued, it could converge with rising earnings to create "significant upside potential" in Hong Kong-listed shares.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Burry Calls BYD A ‘Mild Buy’</h2>Bury called EV giant BYD one of the world’s most technologically advanced automakers because of its vertically integrated model: the company manufactures its own chips, batteries, motors and other components. A key advantage is BYD’s Blade battery, which uses lithium iron phosphate,&nbsp;Burry said. He added that the design is cheaper and safer than the nickel-manganese-cobalt batteries widely used by rivals like Tesla.Burry said that BYD also benefits from a large working-capital windfall after pivoting away from selling primarily to Chinese government buyers. When government receivables were finally collected, the shift released about 40 billion yuan ($5.8 billion) in cash that helped fund overseas factory expansion.Burry rated the stock 7 out of 10, calling it a “mild buy” and said he would be an “aggressive buyer at HK$75 or better, if the thesis still holds at that time.”&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Burry Sees Hot Potential In Haidilao</h2>Burry suggested that Haidilao International, China’s only national hot pot restaurant brand, currently offers the most compelling opportunity. It still holds just about 2.2% of the market, he said, leaving significant room for expansion. Burry rated the stock 8 out of 10.He said Haidilao’s dining concept often feels like “mixing a luxury hotel with a hot pot restaurant,” but added it made a costly mistake by rapidly expanding during the COVID-19 pandemic, opening 540 restaurants between 2020 and 2021 just before China imposed strict lockdowns. The company later closed about 300 locations after the expansion and wrote off roughly two-thirds of the spending.&nbsp;Despite the setback, Haidilao generated about $870 million in free cash flow in 2024 and paid out 94% of earnings as dividends. Burry also said the food-delivery subsidy war among Meituan, Alibaba Group and JD.com inadvertently benefited restaurant chains as they spent roughly 100 billion yuan ($14 billion) on delivery incentives. “At the delivery companies’ expense, Haidilao acquired many new customers,” he said.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Burry Calls PDD Disclosure Problems ‘Vexing’</h2>Burry was more cautious about PDD Holdings, the parent company of Pinduoduo and Temu. He noted that the company built a profitable model in part by&nbsp;delaying payments to merchants while collecting customer payments for extended periods. “PDD would receive the order, arrange the drop ship, and then not pay its farmer suppliers for 500-600 days,” Burry said.The float once generated enough investment income to account for nearly all of the company’s profits. However, the model has faced growing challenges. Temu’s growth slowed after the U.S. closed a shipping loophole that allowed tariff-free imports, while competition intensified in China from JD.com and Alibaba.Meanwhile, Burry also raised concerns about the company’s financial disclosures. “PDD’s problem with disclosure is vexing,” he said, noting that the company provides little detail about revenue by geography, product, or business line.A short-seller report in 2018 alleged accounting discrepancies, though Burry said he believes the report likely overlooked part of the company’s complex structure. “Overall, I cannot call it fraud. I can call it bad disclosure, the worst,” he said.Burry rated PDD 6 out of 10, saying the stock could not justify a full position because of disclosure concerns. “I would keep it around 2%, roughly one-third of my typical full position, until disclosure is satisfying to me,” he said.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/koyfin_20260312_090552469_png_127f33f5b9.webp" alt="koyfin_20260312_090552469.png"><blockquote>"By tackling BYD, then Haidilao, and now PDD, I proceeded from best disclosure to disclosure of significant related party dealings and now to very poor disclosure. The middle one is my current favorite of the three for many reasons," Burry said. "One of those reasons is that hiding white collar shenanigans is worse than allowing investors to consider said shenanigans within the context of the total analysis."</blockquote><h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward PDD was ‘bullish’ while sentiment toward BYD was ‘bearish,’ both amid ‘high’ message volume.Over the past year, the U.S.-listed shares of&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BYDDF">BYD</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/PDD">PDD</a> have dropped about 16% and 13%, respectively, while Haidilao is not U.S.-listed.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

BABA, BIDU, JD To Dip In New York Today? Hang Seng Sinks As US–Iran Conflict Rattles Chinese Tech

Monday’s moves, triggered by a significant military escalation between the U.S. and Iran, added to the sharp selloff in Chinese tech stocks in recent months.

The carmaker blamed production disruptions from a fire at a Novelis aluminum supplier, higher tariff costs, and persistent pricing pressure in EVs. However, quarterly sales rose to $45.9 billion, beating estimates.Ford guided to full-year 2026 adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $8 billion to $10 billion, in line with Wall Street forecasts and higher than the $6.8 billion generated last year. Most of that profit is expected to come from its commercial vehicle business, with EBIT projected at $6.5 billion to $7.5 billion. Gas and hybrid models are expected to contribute another $4 billion to $4.5 billion.The company also said its Model e unit is likely to post losses of $4 billion to $4.5 billion next year. It plans to increase capital spending to $9.5 billion to $10.5 billion and targets free cash flow of $5 billion to $6 billion.The quarter included $15.5 billion in special charges tied largely to Ford’s EV strategy reset, as demand cooled and policy support weakened. The company said another $7 billion in charges is expected across 2026 and 2027.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Ford Faces Growing Competition From China</h2>Meanwhile, Ford is facing increasing competition from Chinese automakers globally. China’s BYD overtook Ford in global vehicle sales for the first time last year as Ford’s wholesales fell nearly 2% in 2025 to just under 4.4 million vehicles, while BYD reported about 4.6 million.&nbsp;<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/koyfin_20260211_124624827_png_06a912dca4.webp" alt="koyfin_20260211_124624827.png">Ford gained ground in the U.S., but lost share in Europe and especially China, where domestic players such as BYD, Xiaomi, and Geely are winning customers with lower-priced, tech-heavy EVs. BYD’s exports reached 1.05 million vehicles last year and are set to climb further, intensifying pressure on legacy automakers like Ford, Toyota, and General Motors.In a bid to tackle competition in China, Ford is&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/https-www-wsj-com-business-autos-china-geely-auto-us-market-6d2d67ca-3808e678">reportedly</a> weighing a potential partnership with BYD to source batteries for some of Ford’s hybrid vehicles. One option under consideration involves importing BYD-made batteries to Ford plants outside the U.S.In addition to Ford, Tesla also lost its crown as the world’s top EV seller to BYD after annual deliveries fell for a second straight year. Tesla’s annual deliveries declined by nearly 9%, while BYD delivered about 2.26 million EVs, compared with Tesla’s roughly 1.64 million.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment for Ford flipped from ‘neutral’ to ‘extremely bullish’ amid a 422% surge in 24-hour message volume.<figure class="image"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/f_ss_png_ee54e9aea5.webp" alt="f ss.png" width="964" height="145"><figcaption>F sentiment and message volume as of February 11 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>One user said, “Didn't we already price in the losses stemming from the EV segment?

Ford Stock Steadies Overnight After Huge Earnings Miss — But A Great Chinese Challenge Emerges

The carmaker guided to a broadly in-line 2026 EBIT of $8 billion-$10 billion, led by strength in commercial vehicles.

Ford Stock Steadies After Huge Earnings Miss, But BYD Threat Looms Large

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>BYD previewed the Song Ultra EV, a higher-powered, all-electric addition, with advanced driver-assistance features.</li><li>The Song family remains a key sales driver despite softer momentum late last year.</li><li>The teaser comes as BYD leans more heavily on overseas growth, targeting roughly 1.3 million EV sales outside China.</li></ul>BYD shares rose nearly 1% in Hong Kong after the EV maker offered a first look at the Song Ultra EV, signaling another refresh of a lineup that has long carried its domestic sales.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">BYD Previews New Song Ultra EV&nbsp;</h2>The Song Ultra EV will be the newest addition to BYD’s Song family. Lu Tian, who oversees sales for the Dynasty lineup, posted the first image on Weibo and described it as the brand’s first B-class pure electric SUV. Details remain limited, but the model entered China’s industry regulator catalog last month, a typical step just ahead of a launch, according to a&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://cnevpost.com/2026/02/04/byd-teases-song-ultra-ev/">report</a> by CnEVPost.Dimension-wise, it is slightly larger than the Song L EV and brings more muscle. The Song Ultra EV uses a single-motor, rear-wheel-drive setup with up to 270 kW of power and a top speed of 210 km/h. BYD also plans to offer optional LiDAR, alongside its “God’s Eye B” driver-assistance system with Urban Navigation on Autopilot.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Song Lineup Remains a Core Sales Driver for BYD</h2>The Song series is still one of BYD’s biggest sellers, making up about 17% of group sales in 2025, or roughly 788,000 vehicles. Even so, momentum has cooled toward year-end, with December sales down 56% from a year earlier. Updating a core model like the Song is one way BYD is trying to steady volumes at home.Beyond China, BYD has been accelerating its global expansion. The company has said it is targeting a roughly&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/watch-out-tesla-byd-plans-to-boost-sales-outside-china-as-ev-push-revs-up/cmy7k8JR4WH">25% increase</a> in overseas EV sales, aiming to sell about 1.3 million vehicles outside China this year. In 2025, BYD delivered about 4.6 million vehicles globally, overtaking Tesla to become the world’s largest EV seller, helped by strong growth in exports to Europe, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment was ‘bearish’ amid ‘normal’ message volume.<figure class="image"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/byddf_ss_png_d171b419a0.webp" alt="byddf ss.png" width="969" height="144"><figcaption>BYDDF sentiment and message volume as of February 4 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BYDDF">BYD’s U.S.-listed stock</a> has declined nearly 2% over the past 12 months.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

BYD Stock Rises In Hong Kong After Teasing Song Ultra EV In Bestselling SUV Family

Updating a core model like the Song is one way BYD is trying to steady volumes at home.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>January sales data pressured Chinese EV stocks across the board.</li><li>Nio’s deliveries jumped year-on-year but fell sharply from December.</li><li>The third-generation ES8 SUV delivered 17,646 units during the month, accounting for nearly 65% of total deliveries.&nbsp;</li></ul>Shares of Nio slid nearly 6% in Hong Kong trading on Monday,&nbsp;trading&nbsp;in line with a broad sell-off&nbsp;witnessed across Chinese electric vehicle stocks, even after the company posted a sharp jump in January deliveries.Other Chinese EV makers, including XPeng dropped nearly 9%, Li Auto fell around 4%, and BYD slid roughly 8% as investors digested fresh sales data from across the sector.<h2 class="st-heading-2">China EV Opens The Year On A Soft Note</h2>The plunge comes after January delivery numbers suggested a bumpy start to 2023 for much of China’s EV sector.BYD, China’s biggest new energy vehicle producer, sold 210,051 cars in January, down 30.1% annually. XPeng made 20,011 deliveries, down 34.1% on an annual basis and plunging 46.7% from December.Meanwhile, Li Auto made 27,668 deliveries, marking its eighth straight year-on-year drop, while sales also slumped 37.5% from the previous month.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Nio’s Delivery Growth Fails To Lift Stock</h2>Nio’s delivery volume against that backdrop still stood out, at least when compared with the prior year. The firm said it delivered 27,182 vehicles in January 2026, up 96.1% from a year earlier. However, deliveries declined 43.5% from December, which weighed on investor sentiment.Of those deliveries, 20,894 were Nio-branded vehicles, 3,481 were from its family-oriented sub-brand Onvo, while 2,807 were from its small EV brand Firefly. Cumulative sales rose to 1.02 million as of the end of January, surpassing the one-million-vehicle milestone.<h2 class="st-heading-2">ES8 Emerges As The Standout</h2>Much of Nio’s January performance rested on a single model. The third-generation ES8 SUV delivered 17,646 units during the month, accounting for nearly 65% of total deliveries.

(F) is reportedly in talks with BYD Co. Ltd. (BYDDF) about a potential partnership involving the use of the Chinese player’s batteries in Ford’s hybrid vehicles.The Wall Street Journal <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/ford-byd-in-talks-for-hybrid-vehicle-batteries-after-ev-market-flames-out-3808e678?mod=wsj_FV">reported</a> on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter, that the talks are continuing and might not culminate in a deal. The two carmakers are reportedly discussing how a potential partnership would work, and are considering ideas including Ford importing batteries from BYD to non-U.S. factories.Shares of F traded marginally in the green at the time of writing.<h2 class="st-heading-2">BYD’s EV And Battery Capacities</h2>BYD is the world’s largest EV maker. Unlike its American counterpart Tesla, BYD makes both plug-in hybrid, and battery-powered electric vehicles.The company makes most of its batteries in China but it is also building capacity in overseas plants. While BYD has made some batteries for commercial vehicles at its California bus-manufacturing plant, it hasn't yet made passenger car batteries in the U.S., WSJ noted.Meanwhile, Ford is also putting up a battery plant in Michigan, where it intends to build low-cost cells starting this year with the help of technology from Chinese battery maker Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. (CATL) to power its future electric vehicles.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Ford’s Pivot Away From EVs</h2>The report of the new deal talks comes on the heels of Ford realigning its EV strategy last month, pivoting away from pure EVs, and towards hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles.Ford said in December that it expects to incur $19.5 billion in EV-related charges after it killed several big EV models to stem losses from the segment. While a majority of the charges would be incurred in the fourth quarter, the remaining will be incurred in 2026 and 2027, the company said.“Ford no longer plans to produce select larger electric vehicles where the business case has eroded due to lower-than-expected demand, high costs and regulatory changes,” the company had said.CEO Jim Farley had noted that the move is centered on customer demand. “The operating reality has changed, and we are redeploying capital into higher-return growth opportunities: Ford Pro, our market-leading trucks and vans, hybrids and high margin opportunities like our new battery energy storage business,” he said.In the fourth quarter of 2025, the automaker reported that its hybrid sales rose about 18% to 55,374 vehicles while pure EV sales declined by about 52% to 14,513 units.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around F stock fell from ‘bullish’ to ‘neutral’ territory over the past 24 hours while message volume dipped from ‘extremely high’ to ‘high’ levels.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/F">F stock</a> has gained 39% over the past 12 months.&nbsp;Read More: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/disc-medicine-sanofi-eli-lilly-shares-slip-on-reports-of-fda-increasing-review-time-for-drugs/cmU1rSfR4JO">Disc Medicine, Sanofi, Eli Lilly Shares Slip On Reports Of FDA Increasing Review Time For Drugs Granted Priority Review Vouchers</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

The company reported deploying 11 GWh in the same period a year earlier.<h2 class="st-heading-2">BYD Records Higher Annual EV Sales&nbsp;</h2>Tesla ceded its position as the world’s largest electric vehicle maker in 2025 to China’s BYD, after global EV sales rose 28% last year and BYD outsold Tesla on a full-year basis for the first time.BYD delivered a total of 2.26 million pure EVs globally in 2025,&nbsp;adding that overseas sales, excluding China, had hit a record high of 1 million,&nbsp;up nearly 150% year-on-year. The company has set a goal of selling as many as 1.6 million vehicles outside China in 2026, without announcing an overall sales target.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Musk And Trump: A Volatile Bromance</h2>Musk's recent interaction with Trump follows a public rupture last year that directly coincided with volatility in Tesla shares. In June, a dispute between Musk and Trump escalated into an open feud after&nbsp;the president threatened to withdraw federal contracts and subsidies from Musk’s companies amid disagreement over proposed tax legislation. The move sent Tesla shares down 14% in a single session, wiping out about $153 billion in market value and marking the stock’s&nbsp;worst day on record.The shares later clawed back some ground toward the end of the year, helped by renewed optimism around Tesla’s full self-driving software updates, its robotaxi ambitions, and, to a lesser extent, progress on the Optimus humanoid robot program.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Wall Street Weighs Deliveries Ahead Of Earnings</h2>Analysts’ views on Tesla’s delivery report were mixed. Dan Ives said that Tesla’s fourth-quarter deliveries came in slightly below consensus estimates but above “whisper numbers,” adding that investor focus remains on autonomy and artificial intelligence.Meanwhile, Gary Black said he did not understand why the delivery report was viewed as bullish, noting that electric vehicles account for 77% of Tesla’s operating profits.Tesla is scheduled to report quarterly earnings on Jan.28.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment was ‘extremely bearish’ amid ‘high’ message volume.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:960/141;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/tsla_ss_png_0546beb3a6.webp" alt="tsla ss.png" width="960" height="141"><figcaption>TSLA sentiment and message volume as of January 4| Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>One Stocktwits Tesla watcher mockingly&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/OverTheCounter/message/640789424">wondered</a> if the Biden-era EV tax&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/tesla-to-raise-us-lease-prices-on-model-3-model-y-ahead-of-ev-tax-credit-expiration/chw5pmFRdog">credit</a>, which was scrapped by Trump, was “back after the dinner?”<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/OverTheCounter/message/640789424</stembedurl>Another user&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/tradeordie24/message/640789579">said</a> the stock was “already looking to nosedive before premarket even starts...
