Good evening!

Imagine getting valuation offers from some of the industry’s top VC firms at a $2.5 billion valuation completely unsolicited.

Here are the 7 things you missed today:

Bitcoin is staying hot. Following the election, the cryptocurrency has continued to hit historic highs, surging 113,011% since 2013. As of 3pm today, Bitcoin hit $77,239 and experts expect the price to rise even further due to investors pouring funds into Bitcoin ETFs.

5. 📈 Tesla Hit $1 Trillion Market Cap

Shares of Tesla climbed 8% today, pushing the electric vehicle company’s market cap past $1 trillion. The company’s stock has rallied about 29% this week… which is pretty wild when you consider that before this week, shares were up about 1% for the year with a market cap of $807.1 billion.

6. 🙏 Broadcom Has A New SMB-Friendly VMware Subs Tier

Broadcom really, really doesn’t want SMBs to leave. So much so that it’s crafted a new subscription tier for its VMware virtualization software in response to common complaints. The new VMware vSphere Enterprise Plus subscription – a name that totally rolls off the tongue – is a more digestible bundle that’s build for smaller customers.

7.  🤯 Cursor Is Getting An Unsolicited Bidding War

Cursor has become one of the most popular AI-powered coding assistance startups. Its developer, Anysphere, has grown revenue from $4M ARR to $4M a month. And now, VCs are flocking to it. Sources say Anysphere has received unsolicited offers from Benchmark, Index Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, and Thrive for as much as $2.5 billion. What can we say, investors love AI coding tools.
