Sono Motors Turns into Bitcoin Buyer Under Kevin McGurn

Manager Magazin's Finance Forward newsletter reports that Kevin McGurn, CEO of listed parent Sono Group N.V., has halted Sono Motors' solar car business (action taken March 14) and plans to repurpose the remaining company assets to become a large Bitcoin purchaser modeled "nach dem Vorbild von Strategy." McGurn also runs Trump Media. The piece places this topstory among other items: secret takeover talks between Commerzbank CEO Bettina Orlopp and UniCredit CEO Andrea Orcel failed, FlatexDegiro CEO Oliver Behrens announced an app overhaul, and several fintech/startup funding and hires were noted (including Causa Prima and Cortea). The newsletter also previews Berlin Blockchain Week themes such as security, stablecoins and the emerging agent economy.

Reward Integrates Experian Mosaic for UK Customer Insights

Reward and Experian announced on 14 January 2026 that Experian Mosaic will be integrated into Reward’s Intelligence and Activation Suite. The integration combines Reward’s first‑party transaction data—sourced from a panel of ten million UK banking customers—with Experian’s Mosaic consumer segmentation to provide brands and retailers a richer view of who is buying and why. The combined capability is intended to support more relevant planning, targeting and activation across online and in‑store channels, and to translate seasonal intent into actionable audience insight. An example analysis showed Mosaic segments 'Budding Families' and 'Affordable School Years' increased health and wellness spending by 23% in January 2025 versus December 2024.

IAC’s Mosaic Group: Games Get All The Attention, But Utility Apps Are Super Lucrative

An interview with Zach Roseman, CEO of Mosaic Group (IAC’s global app division), outlines Mosaic’s view that the mobile app story extends beyond games. Mosaic owns about 40 utility apps, including RoboKiller (the largest spam-blocker in the US), iTranslate, and Daily Burn. The portfolio reports over 40 million monthly active users, roughly 200 million annual downloads, 3.8 million subscribers, and 1 billion lifetime installs, with revenue just under $200 million last year. Roseman describes a portfolio approach that blends in-house development with acquisitions to accelerate growth in categories like translation and privacy, and notes Mosaic is the largest business in IAC Applications. IAC holds more than $2.5 billion on its balance sheet to deploy on acquisitions, with Mosaic actively pursuing a few smaller deals. The interview also touches on monetization tensions between ads and subscriptions and resilience during COVID-19, including iTranslate’s travel-related impact and RoboKiller’s 35% drop in blocked spam calls.
