Bitcoin (BTC) isn’t the only asset up big today: crypto stocks are doing very well too.
The biggest cryptocurrency by market cap is flirting with $72,000 after experiencing a lull last week. It’s now less than 3% off its all-time high of $73,737, according to data from CoinGecko. It touched that level in March.
And company stocks giving exposure to the crypto industry are up as a result. MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR), a self-proclaimed “Bitcoin development company,” is today up over 6%, trading at $1,531.67 per share.
The software company, which has aggressively put BTC on its balance sheet this year, has increased its value massively this year—since January, its stock has more than doubled and is up over 122%. The company’s co-founder and chairman Michael Saylor has argued that the stock gives investors exposure to BTC in a safe way. The company now holds $15 billion in BTC.
Bitcoin was flirting with its all time high as it hit $72,000 Monday morning. This comes after a rocky start to the month, finishing the first week of April below its 2021 high of $69,044. Bitcoin saw steady gains just shy of 2% over Saturday and Sunday, according to CoinGecko. But as Europe woke up for the new week, prices shot up 4.45% in 12 hours. This jump is in line with a spike in BTC futures open interest—a measure of the total number of outstanding Bitcoin futures or options contracts in...
Elsewhere, America’s biggest crypto exchange, San Francisco-based Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN), is also up by more than 6%. The exchange—which went public in 2021—has been on a roll this year: it dropped its Q4 2023 results in February showing that it was back in the black.
Coinbase’s stock is now priced at $255.99 a pop; this year it has jumped by over 63%.
While electric car giant Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA)—which is one of the biggest public companies to hold Bitcoin with over 9,000 BTC ($700 million in digital coins)—has jumped by more than 5% and is now trading for $173.39.
Bitcoin mining companies have risen marginally. Hut 8 Corp (NASDAQGS: HUT) has jumped less than 2%, and is now priced at $9.14; CleanSpark, which uses green energy to mine BTC, has jumped over 1% and is coming in at $15.79 per share.

Ethereum options markets are pricing in a lower chance to surpass even conservative targets before the year ends, while volatility has stayed put despite increasing trader demand. Those factors convey a broader uncertainty about Ethereum's trajectory, even as the crypto market matures and attracts sophisticated capital. That's according to data shared by digital asset and market intelligence platform Amberdata, whose director of derivatives, Greg Magadini, told Decrypt that investor appetite fo...
Solana's price will probably underperform rival Ethereum's over the next "two to three years" because of scaling issues that currently prevent the blockchain from having wider application than its current meme coin focus, international banking group Standard Chartered said in initiating coverage of the crypto on Tuesday. The Solana-Ethereum price ratio is likely to rise from its current level of 14 to 17 through 2028 before dipping again in 2029, Standard Chartered Head of Digital Assets Geoffr...
Stablecoin issuer Circle is hoping to raise as much as $624 million for its much anticipated initial public offering. The crypto giant—which is behind USD Coin (USDC), the seventh-biggest digital asset in existence—filed paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission Tuesday saying it would offer 24 million shares for $24 to $26 each. The firm is targeting a $6.7 billion fully diluted valuation. Circle filed an S-1 form last month announcing its plans to go public—the latest company maki...
