May 30 – Figure dubbed the "Stock God," Serenity, stated in a post that former President Donald Trump has mentioned Dell multiple times this year, and he himself bought Dell stock valued between $1 million and $5 million. Drawing parallels to Intel’s prior trajectory, Serenity noted it was foreseeable that Dell would deliver results far exceeding expectations. Following Dell’s better-than-expected performance, the market’s focus may shift toward its upstream supply chain, Serenity added. He advised investors who missed the Dell trend to still consider Dell’s related upstream suppliers, as these potential beneficiaries of Dell’s growth may not yet be fully priced into the market. Data from Bitget shows Dell surged over 28% to hit $407.88, driven by its first-quarter earnings that significantly outperformed analyst forecasts.

He adds that Nvidia remains the best way to bet on AI development, and expects next week’s Taipei Computer Show (Computex) will bring further signals about next-generation AI demand from industry leaders like Nvidia’s Jensen Huang.

On May 30, former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky filed a motion in a New York state court seeking to overturn his 12-year prison sentence, alleging his defense attorney provided ineffective assistance. In the filing, Mashinsky cited the "fruit of the poisonous tree" legal doctrine to argue that the evidence used to convict him was flawed. He stated he was forced to submit the filing pro se—representing himself in court—after his lawyer stopped communicating with him. The accompanying court documents include additional accusations: Mashinsky claims former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried sought to "destroy Celsius" and manipulated the CEL token market through FTX. He also accused former Celsius Chief Revenue Officer Roni Cohen-Pavon of attempting a "hostile takeover" of the crypto firm. Mashinsky was originally sentenced in 2025 for commodities and securities fraud, ordered to pay $48 million in criminal forfeiture plus a $10 million civil settlement.
