New York, February 3, 2026, 15:01 EST — Regular session Shares of AST SpaceMobile climbed roughly 6.3% to $111.11 by 2:46 p.m. EST Tuesday, after fluctuating between $105.82 and $116.60 earlier, with about 11.5 million shares changing hands. The stock followed a broader rally in U.S. space companies sparked by Elon Musk’s announcement that SpaceX will merge with xAI, valuing the combined entity at $1.25 trillion. Rocket Lab, Planet Labs, and Intuitive Machines also saw gains. Musk predicted that within two to three years, the most cost-effective way to power AI will be from space. Mark Boggett of Seraphim Space called the deal “the strongest validation yet that space will be the backbone of the next wave of AI.”

Bitcoin price drops below $75,000 again as Trump’s Warsh Fed pick jolts crypto

Bitcoin price drops below $75,000 again as Trump’s Warsh Fed pick jolts crypto

Bitcoin slipped below $75,000 again Tuesday, hovering near $74,800 in afternoon New York trading following a volatile bounce off a 10-month low. Data from CoinMarketCap showed it swung between roughly $72,900 and $79,100 over the past 24 hours. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/ The recent drop has been driven by a wider risk-off sentiment and forced liquidations in leveraged crypto trades. Data from CoinGlass revealed that $2.56 billion worth of bitcoin positions were wiped out over the past few days as margin calls forced exchanges to close out bets. “Investors were looking for an excuse to lighten up and they finally got several,” said David Morrison, senior market analyst at Trade Nation. https://www.reuters.com/markets/wealth/crypto-market-volatility-triggers-25-billion-bitcoin-liquidations-2026-02-02/
Robinhood stock sinks nearly 10% as Bitcoin slides below $80,000 ahead of Feb. 10 earnings

Robinhood stock sinks nearly 10% as Bitcoin slides below $80,000 ahead of Feb. 10 earnings

Robinhood shares dropped 9.62%, closing at $89.91 on Monday, dragged down by bitcoin’s slide even as the broader market gained. The retail broker, which earns most of its revenue from payment for order flow — fees for routing customer trades — faced investor concerns that the crypto slump could dampen trading volumes. Trading volume surged to 59 million shares, roughly 136% above its three-month average. Meanwhile, Charles Schwab and Interactive Brokers Group both closed higher. Robinhood’s stock dropped just a week ahead of its quarterly earnings report, which investors view as a key indicator for crypto trading and newer product performance. The company plans to release its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results on Feb. 10 after the market closes. A video call with CEO Vlad Tenev and incoming CFO Shiv Verma will follow at 5 p.m. ET. Shareholders will be able to submit and upvote questions from Feb. 3 through Feb. 9 via a Q&A platform managed by Say Technologies, the company said.
Bitcoin price tumbles below $74,000 as Trump-election rally evaporates and crypto rout deepens

Bitcoin price tumbles below $74,000 as Trump-election rally evaporates and crypto rout deepens

Bitcoin sank to its lowest price since Donald Trump won the U.S. presidency, tumbling below pre-election rally levels amid renewed selling pressure. Bloomberg noted the cryptocurrency slid as much as 6% to roughly $73,762 on Tuesday, marking a drop of over 15% so far this year. The decline follows a brutal weekend selloff that erased about $290 billion from the total crypto market cap, spilling over into broader “risk-off” moves in stocks and precious metals. Weekend crypto trading tends to be volatile, with thinner liquidity letting large orders swing prices more dramatically.

Bitcoin slips under Strategy’s break-even, pushing MSTR toward an eighth straight monthly drop

Bitcoin slips under Strategy’s break-even, pushing MSTR toward an eighth straight monthly drop

Strategy shares fell this week as bitcoin approached a price that puts the company’s massive holdings just shy of break-even. This drop sparked fresh questions about how much further the company can continue buying. The selloff is significant because Strategy acts as a stock-market stand-in for bitcoin, often showing bigger swings than the cryptocurrency itself. CoinDesk reported the stock has dropped for seven months running and currently trades at an mNAV multiple near 1.09 — a quick way to compare its equity value against the worth of its bitcoin holdings. When that multiple nears 1, it becomes tougher and more dilutive to raise new equity.
