Tether is the biggest whale in the crypto space. They're best known for their stablecoin, USDT.
This company has a license to print US dollars – literally. But that’s not all…
The GENIUS Act is like a blessing from the US monetary authorities to continue their little money printing operation for as long as they like. Why?
Because Tether backs its stablecoin with US Treasuries – the same US Treasuries that other governments are dumping in favor of gold.
And what is Tether doing with all the profits they make by earning interest on US Treasuries?
Buying gold. Lots of it. Roughly two tonnes a week!
I recently met with Tether’s head of special projects – the man behind Tether’s new tokenized gold offering…
What he said shocked even me, a 20+ year veteran in the gold markets.
He told me he expects Tether Gold (XAUt) will soon be bigger than Tether’s roughly $200 billion stablecoin.
Just think what that means for the price of gold as Tether continues accumulating two tonnes a week… more than 100 tonnes a year.
There is one time in the historical cycle when you cannot be without gold. That time is here, now.

P.S.
I’ve even teamed up with my longtime friend, Porter Stansberry, on this story. Why? Because Porter has been on top of the coming dollar devaluation for over 15 years. He wrote about it in his famous End of America documentary. Porter and I think identically about what’s happening. That’s why Porter’s team put together a special report on the one non-gold asset you MUST have for the coming shift in the world’s monetary system. Go here for details
Warner Bros. Rejects Paramount's Offer—How It Affects WBD, NFLX, PSKY
Reported by Leo Miller. Article Published: 1/9/2026.
Key Points
- Warner Bros. Discovery rose more than 170% in 2025, leading S&P 500 communications stocks.
- Following the Warner Bros.-Netflix deal, Paramount Skydance is continuing to pursue Warner Bros.
- However, WBD isn't budging. See what its latest rejection of PSKY's offer means for all three stocks.
Shares of entertainment giant Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ: WBD) rose approximately 173% in 2025, making it the best-performing communications stock in the S&P 500.
The contest to buy Warner Bros. was the dominant driver of that performance. In December, Warner Bros. and Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) reached an agreement under which the streaming leader would acquire most of WBD for an enterprise value of about $82.7 billion.
BREAKING: 4,400 Starlink satellites repositioned - why now? (Ad)
SpaceX just announced it is rapidly repositioning 4,400 Starlink satellites into lower Earth orbit. While the official explanation points to safety and debris concerns, the move comes days after China labeled Starlink a national security threat, raising serious questions about what's really happening behind the scenes.
If this escalation in space is an early warning signal, most investors won't react until markets already feel the impact. One analyst has updated his playbook for how to protect capital if geopolitical tensions accelerate.
However, Paramount Skydance (NASDAQ: PSKY) pushed back with an offer to acquire all of WBD at an enterprise value of $108.4 billion. Even with Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) founder Larry Ellison backing the proposal, Warner Bros.' board instructed shareholders to reject the amended offer.
Below, we break down what this development means for the three companies involved.
WBD Could Benefit From Renewed Bidding War
For Warner Bros. Discovery, little changes for now: the company is continuing with its plan to sell its streaming, television, and movie production assets to Netflix.
WBD will also spin off its cable TV channels into Discovery Global, with WBD shareholders receiving new Discovery Global shares after the deal closes.
Netflix's share price at closing—and the market value assigned to the spun-off Discovery Global—will determine the total value WBD shareholders receive.
Analysts estimate that total value will likely fall between $28 and $33 per WBD share.
Paramount's current proposal is an all-cash offer of $30 per share for all of WBD. It is not contingent on Paramount's stock price and would not require the cable channel spin-off.
Warner Bros. has said a deal with Paramount remains possible only if Paramount raises its price. That creates the potential for a renewed bidding war, which could push WBD shares higher. On Jan. 8, Paramount Skydance reaffirmed its $30 offer; however, that could change.
NFLX Hopes the Status Quo Remains
Netflix remains in the driver's seat to complete the purchase of WBD. The deal would provide Netflix with a much larger share of the TV streaming market and control over valuable intellectual property.
Bloomberg Intelligence estimates Netflix would need to add about $60 billion in debt to finance the transaction. Beyond financing risks, the acquisition would likely face significant antitrust scrutiny that could affect its chances of regulatory approval.
Markets have reacted negatively so far. Since the announcement on Dec. 5, 2025, Netflix shares were down nearly 10% as of the Jan. 8 close. Still, if the deal closes and Netflix successfully integrates WBD's assets, the long-term benefits could be substantial.
A renewed bidding war would be against Netflix's interests, since it could push the purchase price higher than the current agreement. WBD appears committed to defending shareholder value, and it's unclear how much higher Paramount would be willing to go.
PSKY Must Pony Up to Win WBD
Paramount Skydance is pursuing a hostile takeover, asking WBD shareholders directly to sell their shares in a tender offer. Formally, PSKY wants shareholders to "tender" their shares to the company.
If shareholders tender a majority of WBD's shares, Paramount could complete the transaction. Warner Bros. has recommended that shareholders not tender their stock to Paramount, but shareholders could, in theory, disregard that recommendation and tender anyway.
There are about 2.6 billion WBD shares outstanding. Shareholders would need to tender more than half of those to PSKY for the takeover to succeed. Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Geetha Ranganathan noted that investors have tendered only around 500,000 shares so far.
That leaves Paramount far from the threshold it needs. At this point, the firm's most realistic path to acquiring WBD is raising its bid. Ranganathan has suggested WBD would likely require around $34 per share to change its recommendation.
Could WBD Gain Another 20%?
If a renewed bidding war erupts, WBD stands to gain the most. A $34 per-share offer would be roughly a 20% premium over WBD's Jan. 8 close of $28.32. Notably, the highest analyst price target on WBD—Arete Research's $35—suggests at least one firm sees upside if the bidding continues and pushes the stock higher.
