Kevin O'Leary Made Big Bets On 'Crypto Infrastructure' Firms Like Circle, Coinbase And Robinhood – Now Aims To Bring Playbook To AI

Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Renowned investor and 'Shark Tank' personality Kevin O'Leary revealed his pick-and-shovel strategy for cryptocurrency infrastructure companies, including exchanges and stablecoin issuers, highlighting his long-term vision for the sector. The 'Shark' Is Buying Into Crypto Infrastructure O'Leary took to X, sharing a clip from his recent interview with Brew Markets, in which he discussed his investment strategy in the cryptocurrency space. O'Leary, also known as 'Mr Wonderful,' said he has invested in Circle Internet Group Inc. (NYSE:CRCL), the issuer of the world's second-largest stablecoin USDC (CRYPTO: USDC), cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) and tokenized stock provider Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:HOOD) Trending: The same firms that backed Uber, Venmo and eBay are investing in this pre-IPO company disrupting a $1.8T market — 'I bought the crypto infrastructure,' he stated. 'I ask myself, 'What do I buy that is really picks and shovels? And what can I buy that gives me direct ownership of the technology, such as a stable currency or Bitcoin itself?''O'Leary applied the same logic to artificial intelligence, saying, 'My conclusion has been if I wanna play the long-term, the next five years or even 10 years in AI, I need to own data centers. I need to own real estate where data centers are built. I need to own power contracts that power the data centers.'O'Leary Says Legendary Charlie Munger Was Wrong About Crypto O'Leary has been a vocal advocate of cryptocurrency. Earlier this month, he expressed disagreement with the late Charlie Munger's views on cryptocurrency, describing it as 'the only thing' that the legendary investor got wrong. He has consistently advocated for key cryptocurrency legislation, such as the GENIUS Act, arguing that it is crucial to secure U.S. financial dominance in digital assets.

Viking's Premium Valuation Backed By Strong Growth, Analyst Notes

Viking Holdings Ltd (NYSE:VIK) shares slipped on Wednesday despite the cruise operator posting a strong second-quarter revenue jump and upbeat analyst commentary. The company reported an 18.5% year-over-year sales increase to $1.88 billion and reaffirmed its ability to sustain mid-single-digit pricing strength across its segments. While Bank of America Securities reiterated a Buy rating with a $70 target, citing Viking's premium positioning and superior returns, investors appeared cautious as shares traded nearly 2% lower in midday noted that Viking's premium positioning should help sustain pricing power, leading to only slight adjustments in 2025-2027 revenue and earnings forecasts. Pricing trends were mixed. River segment pricing improved by 200bps to +6%, likely supported by its dominant market share and mix benefits, while Ocean segment pricing slipped to +4% from +5%, which Didora suggested may reflect rising competition from other cruise operators. Concerns raised last quarter about 2026 pricing stability eased, as Viking maintained its +4% outlook while reinforcing expected mid-single-digit gains. Didora added that Viking is positioned to expand 2025 EBITDA by over 25%, with 2026-2027 estimates growing in the mid-teens, well above the high-single to low-double-digit growth expected for other cruise lines. He also pointed out that Viking's return on invested capital and EBITDA per APCD are nearly twice the industry average. 'We believe VIK's growth and financial metrics justify a premium valuation to peers,' Didora noted. Price Action: VIK shares are trading lower by 1.92% to $58.09 at last check Wednesday.
