Both the Dow and the S&P 500 moved closer to peak levels though about 0.1% below their respective peaks. The Nasdaq ended 1.6% below its all-time high. 

Micron Technology Inc. The worldwide chip shortage has driven Micron' plans to invest $150 billion to address the worldwide chip shortage over the next 10 years, including in a "potential U.S. fab expansion." 

Facebook Inc. will change its group name next week as it seeks a makeover after coming under fire from lawmakers and regulators due to whistleblowers' confessions.

Bitcoin surged to an all-time high on Wednesday, trading above $65,000 a day after the launch of the cryptocurrency's first exchange-traded fund, Proshares Bitcoin Strategy ETF.
