On February 22, PANews reported that Nikita Bier, head of X products, questioned Infodex's list of the most valuable startups in 2025 in a tweet, specifically pointing out issues with Kalshi (valued at $1.1 billion), a fintech company mentioned on the list. He stated that the information on the list was "clearly false," and that the account belonged to or was associated with the brand. He questioned whether the purpose was to increase click-through rates by placing a photo of a woman next to the logo. Furthermore, he demanded that the publisher disclose whether this was paid promotional content for Kalshi, otherwise the account could be suspended.
