Roku & FOX Shareholders Vote on $22B Merger

Shareholders of Roku Inc. and Fox Corporation have approved the proposed acquisition of Roku by Fox, a cash-and-stock transaction valued at approximately $22 billion in enterprise value. Votes were cast at virtual special meetings, with Roku stockholders approving the merger agreement and Fox Class B shareholders approving the issuance of about 144 million Fox Class A shares as consideration.

The deal combines Fox's content and Tubi's ad-supported streaming with Roku's platform reaching over 100 million households, targeting $400 million in annual cost synergies. The transaction still awaits regulatory approvals, including a DOJ second request, with completion targeted for the first half of 2027.

Bitcoin ETFs turn positive for 2026 with $2.4B weekly inflow

US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows of approximately $2.4 billion in the past week, the largest weekly inflow since October, according to The Block. This brings the funds into positive territory for 2026, with a net inflow of around $934 million year-to-date. BlackRock's IBIT led with $1.2 billion, followed by Fidelity's FBTC with $701.7 million and Ark/21Shares ARKB with $294.7 million. The total assets under management for Bitcoin ETFs now stand at around $108 billion. The reversal comes after a sharp outflow following the failure of the Clarity Act in the US Senate, but Bloomberg analysts attribute the turnaround to plans by the US Treasury to buy back long-term bonds. Ether ETFs also saw inflows of $689.9 million, while Solana ETFs hit a daily record of $86.7 million.
