New Peloton CEO Dismisses Sales Speculation To Activists'' Chagrin Peloton managed to avoid any embarrassing gaffes during this year''s Super Bowl (remember the uproar over its holiday advert from a couple of years back?) but even as the world was bombarded with advertisements about crypto, NFTS and beer, Peloton''s new CEO was fielding calls from reporters insisting that there were no plans for Peloton to be put up for sale. The reports are the latest in the ongoing saga of Peloton, which has seen several interested parties consider bids, including Microsoft and Nike, only for the firm''s CEO to dismiss them. According to the FT, Barry McCarthy - formerly a CFO of Netflix and Spotify who was appointed Peloton’s chief executive last week - told the FT that he was moving from California to New York to seize a long-term growth opportunity, not a sale to an overseas firm. "If I thought it was likely that the business was going to be acquired in the foreseeable future, I can’t imagine it would be a rational act to move across the country," he said. "There are lots of other things I could be doing with my time that are quite lucrative than hanging out with a business that’s about to be sold." He added that it''s "not my vote" whether to sell the company or not. "It’s not my vote,” McCarthy said. “It is, however, the vote of the shareholders, and I’m confident a large percentage of the votes will be cast in favour of my leadership of the business, which is why I agreed to step into the business in the first place.” At least one major investor is agitating for a sale: Blackwells Capital has urged Peloton to find a buyer and is agitating for it to change up its dual-class voting structure to loosen insiders'' grip on the firm.

Ubers chief executive officer Dara Khosrowshahi, has confirmed that Uber will accept cryptocurrency at some point in the future. In an interview with Bloomberg Television, Khosrowshahi outlined why Uber has not yet ventured into digital currencies, citing environmental concerns and the high cost of transaction fees, but also noted that the time will come when the transport and delivery company does explore crypto payments: Were having conversations all the time. "The exchange mechanism is expensive, it''s not great for the environment. As the exchange mechanism becomes less expensive, becomes more environmentally friendly, I think you will see us lean into crypto a little bit more."
