AI cloud service providers have reported robust first-quarter earnings, according to the Financial Times. However, a significant portion of these earnings is attributed to a unique item on their income statements: 'other income.' Alphabet recorded $37.7 billion in 'other income' in the first three months of this year, accounting for more than half of its net profit during the same period. Microsoft reported $942 million in 'other income' for the first quarter, with this item contributing a total of $7.2 billion over the past nine months. Oracle did not disclose any 'other income,' while Meta reported a loss of $1.1 billion. 'Other income' refers to gains and losses from changes in the valuation of large holdings in unlisted companies, such as OpenAI and Anthropic. Alphabet is the largest investor in Anthropic, with Amazon also being a major investor. According to Goldman Sachs analysts, the earnings growth of AI cloud giants this quarter was significantly driven by extraordinary contributions from equity investments in unlisted companies. Alphabet and Amazon together recorded $53 billion in 'other income' in the first quarter of 2026, accounting for nearly 60% of their combined profits and 34% of the total profits of the five largest AI cloud providers, which amounted to $155 billion. This marks the highest proportion in at least the past decade, highlighting the almost absurd interdependence that has developed within the AI technology sector.

AI hyperscale cloud service providers reported strong first-quarter results, but some of these companies benefited significantly from a rather unique item on their income statements: "Other Income." Alphabet recorded $37.7 billion in "Other Income" in the first three months of this year alone, accounting for more than half of its net profit during the same period. Microsoft recorded $942 million in Other Income in the first three months of this year, and this item has contributed a cumulative $7.2 billion over the past nine months. Oracle did not disclose any other income, while Meta recorded a loss of $1.1 billion. "Other Income" refers to the gains and losses resulting from changes in the valuation of these companies' large holdings in private companies (such as OpenAI and Anthropic). Alphabet is the largest investor in Anthropic, and Amazon is also one of its major investors. Goldman Sachs analysts wrote last week, "This quarter, hyperscale cloud vendors' profit growth was driven by an exceptionally large contribution from equity investments in private companies. Alphabet and Amazon recorded a combined $53 billion in 'other income' in the first quarter of 2026, accounting for nearly 60% of the two companies' profits for the quarter, and 34% of the total $155 billion in profits from the top five hyperscale cloud vendors this quarter. This is the highest percentage in at least the past decade." This again demonstrates that the AI ​​technology industry has now formed an almost absurd interdependence. (Jinshi)

Bitcoin briefly approached the critical 200-day simple moving average (SMA) of approximately $83,300 on Wednesday but failed to break through, subsequently falling below $81,000. According to Odaily, the overall cryptocurrency market weakened, with the CoinDesk Smart Contract Platform Index dropping over 2% in the past 24 hours, marking the weakest performance among major sectors. The 200-day SMA is widely regarded as an important indicator for assessing long-term trends. If Bitcoin can maintain this level, it would reinforce the narrative that the bear market, which began in February when Bitcoin fell below $63,000, has ended and a new bull market has started. Historically, similar situations have occurred, such as in March 2022, when Bitcoin briefly broke and tested the 200-day SMA before eventually dropping to around $20,000 in June of the same year. Some analysts caution against the risk of a 'false breakout.' Marex, an analysis firm, stated that Bitcoin's ability to continue its upward trajectory depends on three factors: whether spot funds continue to chase the price, whether exchange supply continues to tighten, and whether the derivatives market remains healthy without overheating. If these three factors align, Bitcoin could quickly open up space towards the $85,000 range. FxPro's Chief Market Analyst, Alex Kuptsikevich, noted that the current pullback appears to be a temporary pause in the upward movement rather than a trend reversal. However, he also warned that the daily RSI had previously entered the overbought zone, which in past instances has been accompanied by significant pullbacks. Additionally, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note has fallen from a high of 4.46% earlier this month to 4.32%, which is seen as a potential positive factor for risk assets.
