Hedge fund veteran Dan Ives believes “armageddon” fears in one stock market sector have triggered a golden buying opportunity.

In a new CNBC interview, Ives argues that accelerating AI spending will create a multiplier effect across tech, benefiting software stocks that have taken a beating.

“The spending is even going to be more accelerated than I think people thought coming into the year. So when you look at some of the armageddon fears that we’re seeing specifically in software, and I think some of these tech names, it’s way overblown. It’s a multiplier. I mean we’ve told on the show for every dollar spent on capex you have an essentially an 8 to 10 multiplier across the rest of tech infrastructure, energy, and that speaks to our view this is a deep seat type moment that’s a golden buying opportunity for the winners.”

Ives also says the market is wrongly treating the entire software sector as broken, overlooking core AI beneficiaries like Salesforce and ServiceNow.

“Look, is Adobe a potential loser? Is software names like UiPath, some of these other the pure play names? Yeah. But is Salesforce Service Now? No. I think Salesforce Service Now are going to be core parts of the play in the AI revolution, the use cases, because today it’s really only Palunteer that’s shown it. I just think right now the street is miscalculating the ripple effect that we’re going to see across tech.

And I think what you’re seeing here is obviously just a massive dislocation. I would say in my career it’s the most disconnected call that I’ve ever seen, specifically the software selloff where you’re essentially treating the sector like it’s a structurally broken sector.”

Metaplanet Stock Slides as Top Japanese Bitcoin Treasury Sets Up Shop in Miami

The post Metaplanet Stock Slides as Top Japanese Bitcoin Treasury Sets Up Shop in Miami appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Tokyo-listed Metaplanet is expanding to the U.S. Its Miami-based subsidiary will initially have $15 million in capital. The firm meanwhile closed on its $1.45 billion public offering. Metaplanet, a Tokyo-listed hotel group that owns $2.3 billion worth of Bitcoin, said on Wednesday that its business is expanding to the U.S. The firm, which owns more than 20,000 Bitcoin, is establishing a subsidiary in Miami, Florida, to “manage and grow income-generation activities,” according to a press release. Metaplanet said the wholly-owned firm, dubbed Metaplanet Income Corp., will initially have $15 million in capital. It will provide its parent company with a better opportunity to “pursue derivatives operations and related activities that produce revenue,” Metaplanet added. The company’s shares changed hands around $4.06, falling nearly 4% on Wednesday, according to Yahoo Finance. The company’s stock price has plunged roughly 68% over the past three months from $12.90, although it has still increased 74% year-to-date.  Founded in 1999, Metaplanet has managed budget hotels across Japan, including “love hotels,” but Wednesday’s announcement makes no mention of hospitality. Rather, Metaplanet said the new subsidiary will be separate from its treasury operations. In the second quarter, Metaplanet disclosed an operating profit of ¥817 million ($5.5 million) on ¥1.23 billion ($8.4 million) in total sales, according to a shareholder presentation.  The performance was largely driven by Metaplanet’s income-generation segment, which generated ¥1.13 billion ($7.7 million) by selling Bitcoin put options. The derivatives are only profitable for buyers when Bitcoin’s spot price falls below an option’s given strike price. “This business has become our engine of growth, generating consistent revenue and net income,” Metaplanet President Simon Gerovich said on X on Wednesday. Gerovich separately said on Wednesday that Metaplanet had officially closed on its $1.45 billion offering of 385 million shares. More than 70 investors…
