MSTR pops after Strategy’s $1.25B bitcoin buy — and its ‘Stretch’ stock is doing more of the lifting

MSTR pops after Strategy’s $1.25B bitcoin buy — and its ‘Stretch’ stock is doing more of the lifting

Bitcoin surged to a two-month peak Wednesday as Strategy revealed a $1.25 billion bitcoin purchase, sending its shares higher. Investors often see such moves as a signal for crypto-linked stocks. On Tuesday, U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs recorded their largest daily inflows in nearly three months, fueling a risk-on vibe. Strategy, once known as MicroStrategy, has become the most prominent publicly traded "bitcoin treasury" firm — one that raises funds to pile up bitcoin. According to a recent U.S. securities filing, the company bought 13,627 bitcoin between Jan. 5 and Jan. 11, shelling out $1.247 billion at an average of $91,519 per coin. That lifts its stash to 687,410 bitcoin total. The firm said these purchases were financed by selling Class A common shares and its variable-rate Series A perpetual “Stretch” preferred stock, ticker STRC.

Robert Half stock rebounds as a new hiring survey hits and bulls talk a 2026 turn

Robert Half stock rebounds as a new hiring survey hits and bulls talk a 2026 turn

Robert Half shares rose about 3% to $28.70 in morning trading on Wednesday, drawing fresh attention after a Seeking Alpha column pitched the staffing firm as an “underpriced cyclical recovery play.” The author put a fair value of $49 a share on a discounted cash-flow model — a method that estimates future cash and discounts it back to today — and argued the consulting arm, Protiviti, is helping cushion a soft staffing market. The timing matters because staffing names tend to move early in the hiring cycle, and investors are hunting for signs the slowdown is finally easing. Robert Half has taken the hit since the post-pandemic boom cooled, leaving the stock priced like a company stuck in low gear.

Strategy (MSTR) stock jumps as bitcoin nears $97,000 and a director buys the dip

Strategy (MSTR) stock jumps as bitcoin nears $97,000 and a director buys the dip

Shares of Strategy Inc rose Wednesday, buoyed by bitcoin's surge near $97,000 and an unusual insider purchase paired with the company’s fresh crypto buys funded by debt and equity. Formerly MicroStrategy, the stock climbed roughly 6.5% to $184.30 by 10:27 a.m. EST. Bitcoin jumped about 4.9% to $96,858, while Coinbase, a key crypto player, added close to 2%. This shift counts because Strategy now behaves less like a traditional software company and more like a high-stakes bitcoin play. When bitcoin prices fluctuate, the stock tends to move even more sharply—partly due to the company funding its purchases by issuing more shares.

Ford stock dips as CEO Farley calls USMCA talks ‘critical’ after Trump remarks

Ford stock dips as CEO Farley calls USMCA talks ‘critical’ after Trump remarks

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 09:36 EST — Regular session Ford Motor shares slipped Wednesday after CEO Jim Farley emphasized the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement as “very critical” for the company, responding to recent doubts raised by U.S. President Donald Trump. Last year, Trump slapped 25% tariffs on vehicles imported from Canada and Mexico but allowed certain exceptions that softened the impact, Reuters reported. Bill Ford, the company’s executive chair, described the situation as “regulatory whiplash,” while Farley flagged concerns about affordability and demand looking ahead to 2026.

Investors are treating precious metals as both a rate play and a hedge, wagering that U.S. interest rates will drop as inflation eases and uncertainty remains.

Saks Global files for bankruptcy: $1.75 billion financing, new CEO and a test for luxury suppliers

Saks Global files for bankruptcy: $1.75 billion financing, new CEO and a test for luxury suppliers

Saks Global, which owns Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and Bergdorf Goodman, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection late Tuesday. This marks one of the largest U.S. retail failures since the pandemic. Chapter 11 allows the company to continue operating under court oversight while it works on restructuring its debt. The bankruptcy follows Saks missing a $100 million interest payment due on Dec. 30, connected to the 2024 Neiman Marcus acquisition. This has intensified pressure on vendor ties and slowed merchandise delivery to stores. “They borrowed a lot more money than they should have for a company that isn’t growing,” said Tim Hynes, global head of credit research at Debtwire.
