EcoAI Coin Prepares For Token Pre-Sale, Pioneers Green Crypto Mining

Benzinga

By Gerelyn Terzo, Benzinga EcoAI Coin is eying new partnerships as it takes a novel approach to community engagement and sustainability. Created to bridge the gap between cryptocurrencies and environmental sustainability, and using a combination of blockchain technology and artificial intelligence (AI), EcoAI Coin is on a mission to bring awareness to and advocate for environmentally friendly behaviors within the energy intensive cryptocurrency industry. The project, which is currently preparing for the pre-sale of its EcoAI Coin token, is accomplishing its goal by incentivizing sustainable activities while prioritizing transparency and accountability into its model. While there are several paths to growth and gaining scalability, the EcoAI team has set its sights on securing strategic partnerships and collaborations, both of which are critical to mitigate risk and accelerate the mainstream adoption of blockchain technology. EcoAI Coin’s Partnership And Collaboration Focus By harnessing the power of partnerships and collaborations, EcoAI Coin will enhance its influence in the crypto industry, including how stakeholders address ecological challenges. For example, energy usage is a major issue in the cryptocurrency industry, particularly for Bitcoin. The Bitcoin mining process, where the blockchain is secured and new coins are minted, represents as much as 2.3% of total U.S. electricity consumption, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). However, the tide has begun to turn toward renewable energy sources. According to the Bitcoin ESG Forecast report, more than half (54.5%) of Bitcoin mining’s energy consumption is generated by renewable energy sources, including solar, wind and hydroelectric power. To achieve its mission, which extends to the proliferation of eco-friendly crypto mining, EcoAI Coin has set its sights on targeting strategic partnerships with environmental organizations and businesses. Specifically, the project is eyeing a combination of renewable energy providers and technology firms. However, these relationships are only the beginning, as the company’s leadership is also keen to pursue collaborations with Indigenous Native American people, owing to their wisdom and connection to the land. In fact, crypto has already captured the attention of Native American leaders, who have made their presence known in blockchain activities like crypto mining and digital currency transactions. Their motivation is twofold; the empowerment of Native American communities and the strengthening of their local economies. In the blockchain industry, there is a shared desire among projects to leverage one another’s strengths and innovations in the spirit of progress. To this end, EcoAI Coin is also interested in collaborating with like-minded blockchain projects that share its commitment to sustainability, in which all parties can pool their resources and knowledge to drive mutual growth and environmental benefits. In fact, based on anecdotal evidence, including the shift to more sustainable crypto mining practices, a rising number of blockchain projects have made environmental, social and governance (ESG) as well as sustainability efforts a key focus. A sign of this trend is the repositioning of the Ethereum project away from the energy intensive proof-of-work consensus algorithm to the more environmentally friendly proof-of-stake model. Other projects like KlimaDAO (a protocol for environmental commodities) and Everledger, the latter of which is a tech platform dedicated to providing transparency in global supply chains, are further evidence of this trend. Similar to how corporations share equity with partners as a way to sweeten the deal, EcoAI Coin has integrated its Ethereum-based token distribution into its partnership model. The project has earmarked a portion of supply for incentives that directly support eco-friendly activities. Of EcoAI Coin’s 2 billion tokens, 10% of the supply is reserved for strategic partners and collaborators who contribute to the ecosystem’s growth and sustainability efforts. EcoAI Coin’s Community And Governance Efforts In keeping with its promise of transparency, the EcoAI Coin project maintains its commitment to community and governance efforts. Along those lines, governance plays a crucial role in the tokenomics of EcoAI Coin, as evidenced by a decentralized model in which the community is both empowered and incentivized to participate in the project’s direction. For example, as part of the governance model, EcoAI Coin token holders are entitled to voting rights on important decisions that influence the direction of the project across community developments, sustainability initiatives and partnerships. These mechanisms ensure that the EcoAI Coin ecosystem progresses in lockstep with the community’s values and sustainability goals, never skipping a beat. Community engagement is also a major priority, as the EcoAI Coin project is only as strong as its members and stakeholders. The EcoAI team is dedicated to creating a robust and active community that can trust that their voices will be heard. They will do this by harnessing the power of various platforms, including social media channels, forums and special events. Community members have the freedom to contribute their talent and creativity to the project through the creation of content, music and other forms of expression. It remains early innings for the EcoAI Coin project. However, as the cryptocurrency industry enters what many believe is a new era, one driven by environmental sustainability, EcoAI Coin is strategically positioned to establish a new standard for the potential of blockchain technology beyond financial transactions. EcoAI Coin’s innovative approach, comprising strategic partnerships as well as a strong focus on community engagement and governance, paves the way for a more sustainable future for blockchain transactions and a greener world altogether.

Private Companies Are 50% More Profitable Than Public Companies And Are At Lower Valuations – Now You Can Invest In Them With Linqto

Benzinga

By Anthony Termini, Benzinga Want to access the opportunities offered by pre-IPO companies? Click here to check out Linqto! The day that Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) went public, some 300 ordinary people became instant millionaires. That was because they owned shares of the company when it was still private. The difference between public and private companies has always been very straightforward. And San Jose, California-based Linqto wants you to know the difference. The Differences Between Public And Private Companies Anyone can own a public company. Shares are traded on exchanges like the NYSE or NASDAQ. But owning private companies before an initial public offering (IPO) – especially exceptional companies like Apple – had always been off limits to individual investors. The investment appeal of owning shares of a pre-IPO company is valuation. According to private equity manager Bain & Company, “public assets have historically commanded “ higher average valuations ” than private companies. These lower valuations make investments in private companies very appealing. They create an investment opportunity that can potentially deliver returns considerably greater than what is available in the public markets. Furthermore, a study by the Federal Reserve of San Francisco found that private companies are 50% more profitable than public companies due to factors such as reduced competition, higher risk tolerance and fewer federal regulations. Yet, for decades, there had been significant barriers preventing individual investors from owning shares of a company before its IPO. That has changed. Many Of The Barriers To Owning Pre-IPO Companies Have Been Broken The most significant barrier to owning shares in pre-IPO companies used to be money. In the past, only deep-pocketed investors like venture capitalists, hedge funds and private equity managers had access to these lucrative investments. The only individual investors that could participate were the limited partners in those funds. Even today, a limited partner in a venture, hedge or private equity fund must commit several hundred thousand to several million dollars to a series of funds to be considered. But there are other ways to invest in pre-IPO private companies. A handful of digital platforms now offer individual investors access to these same opportunities. They include well-known names like Charles Schwab (NYSE: SCHW) and Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ: HOOD), as well as potentially lesser-known players like Forge Global Holdings (NYSE: FRGE), EquityZen and HIIVE. One of the pioneers in the pre-IPO investment market is Linqto. Founded in 2010, Linqto has a unique value proposition. Unlike many of its competitors, Linqto doesn’t charge investors any fees. Linqto is a broker/dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Investors pay a modest markup when they buy or sell shares – the exact same way they would when buying or selling common stocks or ETFs. Investments made through some of Linqto’s competitors may require a long holding period – up to 10 years. Linqto’s objective is to offer companies that it expects to go public or to get acquired within five years. Furthermore, while initial investment thresholds are as high as $100,000 at some of its competitors, Linqto provides individual investors access to pre-IPO companies starting with a minimum investment of $2,500. Subsequent investment minimums are $5,000. Another differentiator between Linqto and other platforms is that investors can individually select the companies they invest in. Other platforms offer less control over the investment selection process. Many of those same platforms charge additional brokerage and other miscellaneous management fees, as well. Linqto’s Requirements For Both The Pre-IPO Companies They Offer And For Investors Linqto has a number of requirements for the companies it offers on its platform. Every private company is run through due diligence and a continually monitored review process to ensure it conforms to certain criteria. Companies on the Linqto platform must be beyond the startup stage and well into growth mode. Their revenues must be above a minimum threshold, and they must be backed by committed institutional investors like venture capital or private equity firms. The platform currently limits opportunities to specific industries, primarily in artificial intelligence, blockchain and digital assets, enterprise software, networking and IoT, hardware and FinTech. Investors using the platform must also comply with certain requirements. For example, they must be accredited investors. According to the SEC, individuals may qualify as accredited investors based on wealth and income thresholds or because of their financial sophistication. This means having liquid assets (excluding a primary residence) of at least $1 million and earnings of at least $200,000 ($300,000 if filing with a spouse or partner) in the last two years. Financial professionals who hold a FINRA securities license like Series 7, Series 65 or Series 82 may also be considered accredited investors. The SEC says there are about 24 million households in the United States that would qualify as accredited investors. Why Might An Investor Consider Private Pre-IPO Investments? Including alternative investments in an otherwise well-diversified investment portfolio adds an additional opportunity to reduce overall portfolio risk. The returns of the two asset classes are not perfectly correlated. Investing in public companies is relatively common, but pre-IPO companies can offer greater returns. It’s entirely possible that an investor may even find the next Apple on Linqto’s platform. Click here to visit the Linqto website and begin your private investing journey!

Gold Vs. Digital Currencies: Why Tangible Assets Still Matter

Priority Gold

By James Blacker, Benzinga The allure of potential fast profits has drawn more and more investors to digital currencies over the last decade. According to a market sizing report published by Crypto.com in January, the number of cryptocurrency owners globally grew 34% in 2023, from 432 million in January 2023 to 580 million in December 2023. Just seven years earlier, in 2016, the number of people holding cryptocurrencies was just 5 million. It is no surprise that these digital assets are so popular. Since 2016, Bitcoin (BTC), the original cryptocurrency, has exploded in value from around $435 to $62,916 at the time of writing. Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), meanwhile, was worth less than a dollar in early 2016 and today is worth over $3,000 and nearing $3,500. However, while this relatively new financial ecosystem has matured significantly in recent years, it is still seen as highly speculative. BTC, ETH and countless other digital coins continue to experience extreme volatility, which, in addition to regulatory uncertainties, makes them a high-risk component of any investment portfolio.As digital currencies continue to rise, is there a place for traditional, tangible assets like physical gold in a diversified investment portfolio? Comparing Investment Benefits: Gold vs. Digital Currency Gold As A Tangible Hedge Against Cryptocurrency Volatility Digital currencies are characteristically unstable and can experience wild price swings. BTC, for instance, crossed over $64,000 in November 2021, only to plummet to below $17,000 around a year later. By March 2024, the asset had hit a new all-time high of almost $75,000. Smaller coins, such as Dogecoin, have seen even sharper oscillations in value, often caused by Elon Musk’s tweets. These extreme fluctuations are caused by an array of factors, including a limited supply, and digital currencies are particularly prone to media hype and investor sentiment. Furthermore, without any intrinsic value, some, including Warren Buffet, see no long-term value in cryptocurrencies. In contrast, buying physical gold is an investment in a more stable and tangible asset. While gold definitely can often be somewhat volatile in the short term, the precious metal has proven to be a reliable store of value over long periods of time, even in periods of economic uncertainty, and can therefore act as a hedge against the volatility of digital currencies. Historical Resilience: Gold’s Proven Track Record While cryptocurrencies have only been around for a decade or so, gold has a history spanning millennia and a record of resilience in economic downturns. During the 2007-2008 global financial crisis, for example, investors flocked to safe-haven assets, causing gold to double in value between 2007 and 2012 while many other asset classes faltered. Similarly, the price of gold reached all-time highs during the Covid-19 pandemic. As a safe-haven investment, gold prices also hit new highs in December 2023 and in 2024, driven by geopolitical turmoil among other factors. Conversely, the performance of cryptocurrencies in a sustained recession remains uncertain, and it is unclear how these digital assets would react under such circumstances. Regulatory And Security Concerns Governments around the world are beginning to work out regulations for digital currencies, but their lack of regulation thus far has led to them being dubbed the “Wild West” of financial markets. This lack of governmental oversight is part of what makes crypto so exciting, but also risky and vulnerable to hacking. Over $1.7 billion in cryptocurrency was stolen in 2023, and $3.8 billion was stolen in 2022. While new regulations could improve the market from hacks and data breaches, they can also drastically affect the value of digital currencies. For instance, BTC and other digital coins plunged after reports of China’s crackdown on cryptocurrency mining. In stark contrast, physical gold offers a much higher level of security and stability. It is immune to many of the risks associated with digital currencies. Once purchased, gold can be securely stored, eliminating the threat of digital fraud. By adding gold to their portfolio, investors can also avoid the regulatory uncertainties linked to digital currencies. Balance Your Portfolio With Physical Gold Digital currencies can offer high returns, but prudent investors would be wise to balance their portfolio with physical gold. The stability and security of gold can offset the risks of cryptocurrency assets and ensure a more well-rounded investment portfolio. Moreover, with analysts predicting that gold will continue to rise for the remainder of the year, now could be the perfect time to buy. As a trusted precious metals dealer with a proven track record, Priority Gold can help novice and experienced investors invest in gold through its expertise, resources and guidance.

How Inventory Is Handled in a Transaction

Benchmark International

Handling inventory is a critical aspect that requires careful consideration in an M&A transaction in order to ensure an accurate valuation and smooth transition. Inventory is also a crucial component of working capital and is treated with particular attention due to its direct impact on the valuation and the final purchase price adjustment. During due diligence, the buyer will conduct a thorough review of the seller’s inventory to assess its value. This typically involves verifying the quantity, quality and condition of the inventory as well as identifying any obsolete or slow-moving inventory. The buyer may seek adjustments or write-offs for such inventory. The buyer may also examine the seller’s inventory accounting methods to ensure consistency and accuracy. The buyer and seller will agree on the valuation method for the inventory which can be based on book value, market value or a negotiated value. If there are significant discrepancies between the book value and the actual value of the inventory, the purchase price may be adjusted accordingly. As part of the M&A negotiation, the buyer and seller agree on a target level of working capital, which includes inventory. This target is usually based on historical averages or specific operational needs. Any adjustments to inventory can affect the overall working capital adjustment in the purchase agreement. Transitional arrangements may be made to manage the inventory during the period between signing and closing. This can include agreements on how inventory will be managed, accounted for and reported during this period. Partner With the #1 Privately Held M&A Advisor - Learn More. The treatment of inventory can have legal and tax implications, so it’s important for the seller to consult with legal and tax advisors. The purchase agreement typically includes warranties and representations regarding the condition and value of the inventory, providing protection for the buyer against undisclosed issues. Effective planning and communication are key for a smooth transition and integration of inventory management practices between the two companies. At closing, the actual working capital, including inventory, is compared to the target working capital. If the actual working capital is higher than the target, the purchase price may be adjusted upwards; if lower, the purchase price may be adjusted downwards. A physical inventory count may be conducted at the closing date to verify the inventory levels. This can be done jointly by both parties to ensure transparency. The transfer of inventory ownership is executed as part of the overall asset transfer which includes updating inventory records and systems to reflect the new ownership. Integrating the inventory management systems, processes, and practices of the two companies is essential for seamless operations post-transaction. This may involve harmonizing inventory control systems, reordering processes, and warehousing practices. Post- acquisition, the buyer may seek to integrate and optimize the inventory management practices of the acquired company. This could involve aligning inventory policies, systems and processes with those of the buyer to achieve efficiencies and synergies. By addressing all of these aspects carefully, both buyers and sellers can ensure that the inventory is accurately valued and efficiently integrated. Proper handling of inventory, from valuation and verification to post-closing adjustments, ensures a fair transaction and smooth integration for both parties involved.

Our brewing, co-packing, and extraction businesses are setup to do over $10 million in revenue in 2025 and with this acquisition will push us north of $20 million dollars. Our profitability in 2025 will be strong with margins as high as 200% on our websites and 50% in co-packing. We will be producing multiple lines of functional beverages along with our current craft beer production.” He goes on to say, “We know freight is the largest expense we have within the beverage industry and being able to utilize our own delivery system will save us and our customers money. Derik Stotland came to us with a plan to help his growth and give us the important parts of logistics with software, insurance, and industry knowledge without us having to create it on our own.” Derik Stotland, president of Stotland Trucking, commented “We have been executing on our business plan and were looking for a partner to grow with. We decided based on the options available to us that Tony and the Apple Rush Company would give us both upside on being a partner and an additional hub to grow our system from. Illinois is a great place to expand to from Texas and a terminal there will give us additional opportunities for exponential growth. Our plan is to acquire additional contracts for hauling, adding the trucking assets needed as we grow, and building out a regional system creating higher efficiencies in deliveries.” About The Apple Rush Company, Inc.
