POET Technologies: Ready For A Fortuitous Next 12 Months — Positive

POET  POETD   Seeking Alpha — July 21, 2025

I am reiterating my Strong Buy rating on POET Technologies, as the stock has appreciated 49% since my initial recommendation. AI-driven data center demand is set to grow 19–22% annually, with AI-optimized facilities expanding at 33% per year until 2030. Current copper interconnects can't meet AI's bandwidth needs; optical connectivity, like POET's patented interposer, is positioned to gain market share.

GBTC: Quantum Computing Risk (Rating Downgrade) — Negative

GBTC   Seeking Alpha — July 21, 2025

I am downgrading Grayscale Bitcoin Trust to a 'Sell' due to accelerating quantum computing risks threatening Bitcoin's core cryptography within 5–7 years. GBTC's high 1.5% annual fee and significant tracking error further erode returns, making it unattractive compared to lower-fee alternatives like BlackRock's IBIT. While some argue quantum threats are overblown, I believe the decentralized nature of Bitcoin makes a swift, coordinated upgrade to quantum-resistant security unlikely.
