PANews reported on February 10th that YouTube influencer MrBeast announced on the X platform that his team will acquire Step, a mobile banking app for teenagers. MrBeast stated that he never received any education on investing, credit building, or financial management growing up, and this is precisely the reason for his partnership with Step—to provide millions of young people with the financial foundation he never had as a child.

In January, it was reported that Bitmine planned to invest $200 million in MrBeast's Beast Industries .
