Missing figures stay unavailable. Forward P/E requires a dated source. Annual revenue, revenue growth, net income and margin come from each company's own 10-K, in US dollars, and each row shows that fiscal year. Revenue growth compares the fiscal year with the prior year stated in the same 10-K. Net income is the full year amount attributable to the company, or available to common stockholders where the filing states only that, or consolidated net income. Each row names its basis. Trailing P/E reads "Not meaningful" when the dated trailing diluted EPS is a loss or zero. An operating margin appears only when the filing states both the operating income and the revenue for the same year.
Sources: SEC filings, Gloria daily closes and CoinGecko. Oldest record refresh: Oct 30, 2026, 9:02 AM EDT. Refresh is not a price or filing date. Each row shows its price date and its annual fiscal period. Peers use industry code and company size, or editorial selection. Market cap multiplies that row price by the company share total the latest SEC filing states for every share class together. Trailing P/E divides it by trailing diluted earnings from SEC filings. Rolled earnings per share are approximate because share counts can change between periods. Both appear only when the SEC data carries its date, so they are estimates at one price date, not synchronized filing valuations. Not investment advice.

Mark Zuckerberg posted on X for the first time in three years on July 9, dusting off his @finkd handle to announce Muse Spark 1.1, a new coding AI model built into Meta AI through the company’s Model API.
Meta’s AI pivot is expensive and behind schedule
The Muse Spark 1.1 launch arrives after Meta laid off roughly 8,000 employees during April and May of 2026, a restructuring explicitly designed to clear the decks for an all-in bet on artificial intelligence.
Meta has committed to projected expenditures in the range of $125 billion to $145 billion on AI infrastructure and models for 2026.
Zuckerberg himself has acknowledged the timeline isn’t going according to plan. During an internal town hall, the CEO reportedly said that AI agent development progress has “not really accelerated” over the past four months compared to earlier expectations.
The market’s initial reaction to the X post was, charitably, a shrug. No significant price movement in Meta stock followed in the days after the announcement.

What a $145 billion AI war means for crypto
For crypto, the implications run along several axes. First, there’s the compute question. Meta’s massive infrastructure buildout competes directly for the same GPU capacity and data center resources that power crypto mining and blockchain validation networks. When Meta is willing to spend $125 billion to $145 billion in a single year, that puts upward pressure on hardware costs across the board.
Third, Meta’s abandonment of crypto-native ambitions creates a vacuum. The company that once tried to launch its own global stablecoin has now fully pivoted away from blockchain.
The bigger picture for investors
Muse Spark 1.1 itself is a coding AI model, which puts it in direct competition with offerings from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic. Meta has been building on its open-source Llama series of models, and the new Model API integration suggests the company wants developers building on its stack rather than competitors’.
