The alarming reason so many tech companies are raising cash

By all appearances, the tech market seems to be in high spirits. Stock prices are rising, valuations are climbing, IPO chatter is resurfacing, and the Nasdaq Composite Index is hovering near record levels after rebounding more than 40% from its April lows. But underneath the bullish headlines, a more sobering trend is playing out. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Over the past several weeks, a growing number of well-known tech companies have quietly raised billions in new capital. These moves may collectively signal a broader shift in sentiment among insiders. To be clear, these companies are not struggling startups in desperate need of liquidity. They are established, fast-growing firms, with some having already achieved sustained profitability and generating positive cash flows with plenty of runway. So why the sudden rush to dilute shareholders and raise cash? One possibility: Insiders may believe their stock prices are unusually expensive, and are acting to opportunistically lock in recent gains while they still can. Image source: Shutterstock In just the last six weeks, several major publicly traded tech companies have announced large capital raises, including: SoFi Technologies (SOFI) (up 60% year to date as of this writing) closed a public offering on July 31, 2025, for total gross proceeds of $1.5 billion. CoreWeave (CRWV) (up 185% from its post-IPO close in March) closed a $1.75 billion private offering on July 28, 2025. Zscaler (ZS) (up 57% year to date) issued a total of $1.725 billion of convertible senior notes on July 3, 2025. Cloudflare (NET) (up 85% year to date) issued a total of $2.0 billion of convertible senior notes on June 17, 2025. Rubrik (RBRK) (up 43% from its post-IPO close) completed a private offering of $1.15 billion of convertible senior notes on June 13, 2025. Arguably with the exception of CoreWeave - still a well-funded GPU-centric hyperscaler that operates in a notoriously capital-intensive niche - these are not coincidental fundings by cash-starved firms.

The capital is not being raised to prevent insolvency or to fund urgent acquisitions. In each of the above cases, the official explanation provided by the companies was that net proceeds would be used for "general corporate purposes," a vague phrase that often signals the money is being raised because the timing is favorable rather than because the need is pressing. More Tech Stocks: Amazon tries to make AI great again (or maybe for the first time)Veteran portfolio manager raises eyebrows with latest Meta Platforms moveGoogle plans major AI shift after Meta's surprising $14 billion move When public companies raise cash in this fashion, especially through convertible notes or secondary offerings, it often reflects their perception of market conditions more than any short-term operational need. Of course, management teams will rarely say outright that they believe their stock is overvalued, but raising large sums without a clear strategic use - apart from simply shoring up the company's balance sheet or improving the structure of outstanding debt - typically sends a clear message to astute investors that additional caution may be warranted when reviewing portfolio candidates. At the same time, you may be hard-pressed to find shareholders complaining about such moves. To the contrary, the logic is straightforward: If company insiders believe their equity is trading at a premium to the firm's intrinsic value, it should be a smart move to raise cash using that inflated equity. Unfortunately, these raises often dilute ownership through new share issuances or conversions, and can often precede periods of weaker stock performance. That's not to say these stocks can't extend their upward march over the near-term. But if many companies in a sector all start doing this at once, it may suggest that those closest to the fundamentals see limited near-term upside.

Well-managed companies build up capital reserves to stay flexible, fund innovation, and to generally improve their balance sheets. But the scale and timing of these recent tech raises are hard to ignore. They are occurring just as valuations are reaching levels not seen since late 2021, and at a time when sentiment around artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and cybersecurity is near euphoric. When several reputable companies simultaneously act to secure funding, it raises the question: What do they see that retail investors might be missing? This is not a call for panic selling, but it may be a moment for more careful portfolio management. With many tech and growth stocks pricing in near-perfect execution, any signs of slowing growth or operational missteps could be severely punished. So when the people running these businesses begin moving to reduce risk by building cash buffers, retail investors might be wise to consider doing the same.

Jean Chatzky sends strong message on Social Security, Medicare

As millions of Americans near retirement age, personal finance bestselling author Jean Chatzky offers guidance on preparing for realities ahead. She focuses on Social Security, Medicare, and IRAs (Individual Retirement Accounts), with the goal of helping workers plan for a retirement lifestyle that meets their expectations of a comfortable and rewarding way of life after their careers are over. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Chatzky outlines practical steps for maximizing retirement income and managing health care costs. She addresses concerns many Americans have about Social Security, when to claim benefits, and worries about the federal program's solvency. Related: Jean Chatzky sends strong message on 401(k)s, IRAs Chatzky cites projections from the Social Security Administration indicating that the program's trust funds may be depleted by 2033. If no changes are made, benefits could be reduced by approximately 23%. "Waiting to claim benefits until at least full retirement age is generally a good rule of thumb because your payments will be larger," Chatzky said, according to AARP. Full retirement age for Social Security benefits depends on one's birth year. For most people retiring today, it ranges from 66 to 67, with 67 applying to those born in 1960 or later. Chatzky calculates that Americans could end up making as much as 30% less if they claim Social Security benefits too early. She emphasizes the fact that such a decrease in one's monthly benefit can impact people for the rest of their lives. Chatzky emphasizes the importance of understanding Medicare enrollment rules and coverage options. She notes that missing enrollment deadlines can result in penalties and higher premiums. She outlines the differences between Medicare Parts A, B, C, and D, and advises retirees to evaluate their health care needs before selecting a plan. Chatzky points out that Medicare Advantage plans vary in coverage and provider networks, while supplemental Medigap policies can help cover out-of-pocket costs. More on personal finance: Dave Ramsey warns Americans on Social SecurityJean Chatzky sends strong message on major 401(k) changesFinance expert has blunt words for car buyers Medicare Part A is hospital insurance, covering inpatient care in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, hospice, and some home health services. Most people don't pay a premium for Part A if they or their spouse paid Medicare taxes while working. Medicare Part B is medical insurance, which covers outpatient care such as doctor visits, preventive services, durable medical equipment, and some home health care. Unlike Part A, Part B requires a monthly premium. Medicare Part C, also known as Medicare Advantage, is an alternative to Original Medicare offered by private insurers. These plans bundle Part A and Part B, and often include Part D prescription drug coverage and extra benefits such as vision, dental, and wellness programs. Costs and coverage vary by plan. Medicare Part D provides prescription drug coverage through private plans approved by Medicare. It helps pay for medications, though beneficiaries still face premiums, deductibles, and copayments. To fill gaps in Original Medicare, many people also purchase Medigap policies - private supplemental insurance that helps cover out-of-pocket costs such as coinsurance and deductibles, but cannot be combined with Medicare Advantage plans. Related: Secretary Bessent's Social Security remarks spark AARP outcry Chatzky cites data indicating that only 44% of U.S. households utilize IRAs, despite their potential benefits. She views IRAs as a flexible option for retirement savings, particularly for people without access to employer-sponsored plans. She recommends investing in diversified mutual funds and maintaining a mix of stocks, bonds, and cash. This approach, she says, can help retirees avoid selling investments during market downturns. Chatzky also highlights the importance of catch-up contributions for individuals over age 50, which allow for higher annual deposits into IRAs. Individuals aged 50 and older can make catch-up contributions to IRAs. In 2025, the standard IRA contribution limit is $7,000, with an additional $1,000 allowed as a catch-up contribution for people over 50 years old.

Elon Musk Gave Millions to Trump After Publicly Blowing Up Their Bromance

Newly disclosed federal filings show that Elon Musk gave President Trump's super PAC $5 million and congressional Republicans $10 million during the same period when he was experiencing a very public meltdown over the president's One Big Beautiful Bill. Onlookers have interpreted it as a sign that the Tesla billionaire was vacillating between taking shots at Trump and making conciliatory moves designed to mend their fraying relationship. Last year Musk went all-in on Trump, MAGA, and the Republican Party, engaging in an unprecedented spending blitz designed to see the former reality TV star returned to the White House. Musk was successful in that gambit, but the relationship between him and his gold-haired 'buddy' has since soured. After briefly leading the Department of Government Efficiency (a quasi-agency designed to shrink the federal government), Musk began having problems with Trump over provisions in his spending bill that threatened the EV industry (and, you know, Musk's Tesla). At the end of May, Musk formally left the administration in a swirl of controversy, while also sporting a mysterious black eye (he claimed his son, X, had socked him in the face). Politico notes that Musk's contributions to Trump and the GOP took place not long after the blowup between him and the president, when Musk accused Trump of being in the Jeffrey Epstein files. The outlet writes: The contributions came weeks into Musk's public feud with Trump, as the tech billionaire was slamming Republicans for voting for the megabill that he argued would blow up the deficit. Still, the SpaceX CEO donated $5 million each to the Congressional Leadership Fund, the Senate Leadership Fund and MAGA Inc. on June 27, according to the groups' filings with the Federal Election Commission on Thursday. Those are the top super PACs supporting the House and Senate Republicans and the Trump political operation. If the point of the contributions was to try to make amends with Trump and the Republicans, it doesn't appear to have worked. Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill sailed through Congress, and none of the provisions that proved problematic to Musk's businesses were taken out. Since then, Elon's influence in the government has notably waned. This week, Politico reported that the administration was conducting a 'de-Muskification' at the General Services Administration, where DOGE had formerly holed up. One person close to the organization claimed that DOGE had 'lost all remaining influence' at the agency, which is responsible for supporting basic infrastructure (like office spaces and communications) at federal agencies throughout the government. Musk has since launched his America Party—a supposed third party—as revenge against the President and the GOP lawmakers who passed the One Big Beautiful Bill. Theoretically, were the party to ever take off, it could cause serious electoral problems for many Republicans by siphoning off votes from their political races. However, 'America' isn't much of anything yet, having not yet filed any of the proper paperwork necessary for it to be incorporated. It also doesn't seem like many people are interested in joining the America Party, should it ever materialize. Indeed, a recent poll showed that only 14 percent of surveyed participants had any interest in joining a political party created by Musk. The poll, conducted by Yahoo/YouGov survey, found that while nearly 40 percent of Americans are interested in the creation of a third party, 55 percent said they had no interest in such a party founded by the Tesla CEO. Meanwhile, Musk's businesses have also been flailing. Musk recently announced that Tesla—whose sales have recently plummeted all over the world—would start a robotaxi business, claiming that a driverless service would soon be launched. Tesla subsequently launched a ride-hailing service in California, but, instead of robotaxis, the cars are just normal Teslas driven by humans. Musk's behavior over the past year only seems to strengthen the argument that the billionaire class is a grossly inefficient, stupid, and wasteful segment of people, many of whom seem to feel that gobs of money can solve any problem. Elon has definitively proven this assumption to be false, since he reportedly spent close to $300 million on Trump's campaign last year and, now, less than twelve months later, can't be said to have gained much except the burning hatred of tens of millions of Americans. I'd call that a pretty bad deal.
