Sanders unveils $7 trillion plan to put Americans in charge of AI wealth

Sen. Bernie Sanders proposed a $7 trillion sovereign wealth fund funded by a 50% tax on the stock of the largest AI companies, to distribute annual dividends to Americans (over $1,000 per person) and grant public governance influence via an Independent Commission for Democratic AI; the plan would also require separating AI from non-AI business in major firms, faces resistance from AI industry leaders, and is unlikely to pass soon but is pitched as a starting point for public benefit discussions.

Nvidia Signals Massive Investor Windfall With Bold Cash-Return Plan

Nvidia announced it will return 50% or more of its free cash flow to shareholders this year, next year, and beyond, potentially equaling about $110 billion over two years based on current profit projections, while also raising its quarterly dividend 25-fold to $0.25 and accelerating share buybacks; the company remains flush with cash (about $80.5 billion) and light on debt as it rides AI-driven demand. In its fiscal Q1 2027, Nvidia posted revenue of $81.6 billion, gross margin of 74.9%, and adjusted EPS of $1.87, with data-center revenue at $75.2 billion, and management guided Q2 revenue to about $91 billion as momentum continues.

Bitcoin Dips to Six-Week Low as Strategy’s Cash Runway Narrows on Dividends

Bitcoin slid to about $73,000, its six-week low, as ETF outflows persisted and Strategy’s cash runway to cover its $1.7 billion in annual dividends collapsed to roughly 6 months, fueling talk of a retest of February’s $60k lows unless BTC can reclaim the $74k pivot and key moving averages; analysts split on whether the move is a meaningful shift or a sentiment-driven wobble, with potential upside if momentum improves and strategic selling remains limited.

Cracking the Dividend Code: How Much Capital to Earn $100K a Year

Cracking the Dividend Code: How Much Capital to Earn $100K a Year

The piece breaks down how much capital you need today to generate $100,000 a year in dividend income across three yield tiers. At 3–4% you’d need about $2.5M–$2.86M; at 5–7% about $1.43M–$2.0M; and at 8–14% roughly $833k–$1.0M. Real-world examples include AT&T (~3.9%), Realty Income (~5.2%), Enterprise Products Partners (~5.8%), MAIN (~5.3% regular, ~7.4% with supplements), and ARCC (~10.8%). The article emphasizes that higher yields come with higher risk and potential principal erosion, so compounding growth matters: a 3.5% yield growing 7–8% annually can double income in a decade. It also notes the importance of taxes (qualified dividends vs return of capital) and total-return comparisons (not just yield). Three practical actions: (1) calculate actual spending needs rather than salary, (2) model tax treatment by tier, and (3) compare 10-year total returns to assess true wealth outcomes.

Helium Shortage Could Turn Exxon Into a Quiet Chipmaker Winner

Helium Shortage Could Turn Exxon Into a Quiet Chipmaker Winner

Geopolitical shocks have knocked out roughly a third of global helium supply, driving up prices for ultra-high-purity gas essential to semiconductor manufacturing. ExxonMobil’s Shute Creek gas plant in Wyoming now stands as a major helium supplier (about 20% of global supply) with long-run reserves, giving the company a potential margin tailwind as chipmakers like TSMC, Samsung, and SK Hynix rely on helium. The upgrade in helium pricing could boost Exxon’s cash flow and dividend appeal, making it a safer play than pure helium peers. Investors are cautioned to consider a position on dips (e.g., below about $165) as the shortage unfolds.

OnlyFans owner dies at 43, ending a controversial tech saga

Leonid Radvinsky, the Ukrainian-American billionaire who built OnlyFans by acquiring a majority stake via Fenix International in 2018, has died at 43 after a cancer battle, the company announced. OnlyFans, UK-based but profitable in the US, has paid creators more than $25 billion and generated about $7.2 billion from fans in the past year, with a record $701 million in dividends paid to him last year. Radvinsky had explored a multibillion-dollar sale and a 2022 IPO that never materialized, and his shares have been held in a trust since 2024. The company asked for privacy for his family during this difficult time.

Nvidia’s Cash-Back Strategy Keeps It a Value Play Amid AI Growth Questions

Nvidia’s stock remains stuck in a narrow $180–$190 range despite AI-chip dominance and a plan to return about 50% of free cash flow—over $85 billion—through dividends and buybacks in 2026. With a forward P/E slightly above 21x, the stock looks more like a value play than a growth story as investors weigh massive cash returns against growth prospects and AI-infrastructure dynamics.
