Business Rundown: Kevin O'Leary On The Cost of Financial Illiteracy
Many Americans are clueless when it comes to money because the basics of financial literacy–such as balancing a budget or understanding the pitfalls of credit card use–are rarely taught during childhood. This becomes a significant problem when young people enter the real world and sign up for student loans without realizing these debts could follow them for the rest of their lives, hindering their ability to buy a home or start a business. Kevin O'Leary, the chairman of O'Leary Ventures and the star of Shark Tank, joins FOX Business's Gerri Willis to discuss America's student debt crisis, the Trump administration forcing student loan borrowers to begin paying up again, and the economic impact of financial illiteracy.

Poppi soda drinkers could be owed part of $8.9M settlement. How to file a claim
Poppi's gut health claims fell flat with some consumers, and now the prebiotic soda brand will pay nearly $9 million in refunds. The Texas-based beverage company agreed to an $8.9 million settlement to resolve claims it improperly marketed its sodas as a 'gut healthy' alternative to traditional soft drinks, according to court documents. According to its website, Poppi was born in co-founder Allison Ellsworth's kitchen, where she mixed 'fruit juices with apple cider vinegar, prebiotics, and sparkling water.' Ellsworth went from selling her drinks at farmers markets to being featured on 'Shark Tank,' thrusting her soda brand into the national spotlight. A class-action complaint accused Poppi of claiming its sodas contain 'prebiotic fiber' but not enough to 'cause any meaningful gut health benefits.' McClatchy News reached out to Poppi for comment July 25 and was awaiting a response. 'Despite Defendant's alluring 'prebiotic' marketing claims, which assure consumers, on the can, that they can 'Be Gut Happy [and] Be Gut Healthy,' as one nutritionist bluntly explained: the Products 'are basically sugared water,' which has been shown to actually harm gut health,' the complaint says. Poppi has denied any wrongdoing. Here's what to know if you're owed: Who's eligible? Anyone in the U.S. who purchased Poppi beverages of any flavor and package size for personal use between Jan. 23, 2020, and July 18, 2025, is eligible to file a claim, settlement administrators said. How do I file a claim? Claim forms can be submitted online or printed and mailed, according to the settlement website. All claims must be submitted or postmarked no later than Friday, Sept. 26. How much is the payment? Poppi drinkers who submit a valid claim will be paid as follows: 75 cents per single can $3 per four-pack$6 per eight-pack$9 per 12- or 15-pack Customers without proof of purchase can receive up to $16 per household, administrators said. Final payment amounts may be higher or lower depending on the number of claims received. When will I be paid? A hearing to finalize the settlement is set for Nov. 20 in the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California, and payments will be disbursed within 90 days, barring any appeals, administrators said. 'If the Court does not approve the Settlement, or if the Settlement is overturned on appeal, no Class Payments will be issued,' according to the website.

Firm backed by Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary makes unusual investment
Firm backed by Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary makes unusual investment originally appeared on TheStreet. Bitzero Blockchain Inc., the Vancouver-headquartered crypto mining firm backed by Shark Tank judge Kevin O'Leary, announced on July 24 that it has secured $25 million in funding to expand its sustainable mining operations. The firm will use the initial drawdown of the fund to purchase 2,900 industry-leading Bitmain S21 Pro miners. With the hardware completely deployed within 4-6 months, it is expected to generate an estimated additional annual revenue of $10 million. The company said the investment marks a major step toward its commitment to transforming crypto's energy reputation, as it has taken several steps toward a sustainable mining model. With operations in North America and Europe, its Namsskogan data center in Norway runs entirely on hydropower, the statement read."Our mission has always been to prove that Blockchain infrastructure can thrive in harmony with investors, communities, and the environment," said Bitzero President and CEO Mohammed Bakhashwain. "This new funding allows us to build on our success, accelerate deployment of best-in-class mining technology, and extend our leadership in sustainable, profitable data centers." O'Leary, a strategic investor at Bitzero, recently said the crypto mining firms are building their infrastructure close to abundant, sustainable energy sources, and the artificial intelligence (AI) industry — similarly dependent on large-scale infrastructure — should learn from them. Since both crypto mining and AI industries are increasingly converging, institutional investors are eyeing facilities located near sustainable energy sources. Bitcoin annually produces a carbon footprint of 98.10 Mt of CO2 and consumes electrical energy of 175.87 TWh, as per Digiconomist,. The crypto mining industry has, therefore, earned notoriety among environment advocacy groups. Bitzero's pivot toward a sustaining model can offer a blueprint to similar firms attempting to transform crypto's energy reputation.
