Bitcoin price today: BTC hovers near $92,000 ahead of CPI test as Fed jitters linger

Bitcoin price today: BTC hovers near $92,000 ahead of CPI test as Fed jitters linger

NEW YORK, Jan 13, 2026, 06:29 EST Bitcoin traded just below $92,000 on Tuesday, pulling back slightly from an earlier dip toward $90,000. Investors stayed cautious ahead of U.S. inflation figures, which might shake up expectations for interest-rate cuts. Crypto moves nonstop, yet it often follows the lead of U.S. rates and the dollar. When traders expect policy to remain tight, risk appetite tends to evaporate quickly. Economists forecast the U.S. consumer price index to climb 0.3% in December, maintaining a 2.7% year-on-year gain after a 43-day government shutdown clouded the previous data, according to a Reuters poll. The Federal

Bitcoin price jumps toward $92,000 as U.S. crypto bill draft lands; Coinbase, Strategy rise premarket

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 06:23 EST — Premarket Bitcoin climbed roughly 1.7% to hit $92,040 early Tuesday as traders kept a close watch on Washington headlines and a packed U.S. economic calendar. A Senate discussion draft of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act would prohibit digital-asset service providers from paying “interest or yield” just for holding a payment stablecoin—a token pegged to the dollar—while allowing exceptions for rewards tied to transactions and other user participation, the text revealed. It also instructs the SEC and CFTC to develop disclosure rules within 360 days, requiring “plain English” explanations of compensation linked

Crypto ATM crackdowns are spreading — and Bitcoin Depot stock is in the frame

Crypto ATM crackdowns are spreading — and Bitcoin Depot stock is in the frame

NEW YORK, Jan 13, 2026, 05:23 EST Shares of Bitcoin Depot Inc rose roughly 4.6% to $1.37, even as the bitcoin ATM operator faces increasing regulatory pressure from U.S. cities and states cracking down on crypto kiosks amid a surge in fraud complaints. That’s key for operators since these machines — known as virtual currency kiosks — convert cash into crypto and transfer it to a digital wallet. Regulators say scammers often use this method to rush victims into paying. A recent PYMNTS report highlighted fresh local bans and stricter state limits, noting that warning labels and ID verification are

Strategy’s $1.25 billion bitcoin buy nudges MSTR stock higher premarket

Strategy’s $1.25 billion bitcoin buy nudges MSTR stock higher premarket

NEW YORK, Jan 13, 2026, 05:25 EST Strategy shares jumped nearly 3% in premarket trading Tuesday following a disclosure that the company shelled out about $1.25 billion on bitcoin. This marks its largest purchase since July. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-01-12/strategy-buys-1-25-billion-in-bitcoin-in-largest-purchase-since-july This buying is significant since the Nasdaq-listed company has turned into a high-beta stand-in for bitcoin among many equity investors, with its funding activities frequently moving the stock as much as bitcoin does. Bitcoin climbed roughly 1.8% to near $92,135, providing a boost to Strategy’s trade following a volatile beginning to the year for crypto-linked assets. Between Jan. 5 and Jan. 11, the

Strategy just bought $1.25B of Bitcoin again — and MSTR is moving before the bell

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 05:18 EST Shares of Strategy Inc climbed in early premarket trading Tuesday following the company’s announcement of a bitcoin purchase valued at about $1.25 billion, marking its largest acquisition since July. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-01-12/strategy-buys-1-25-billion-in-bitcoin-in-largest-purchase-since-july The buy is key since Strategy now acts as a liquid, leveraged stand-in for bitcoin within U.S. equities. Every new purchase round gauges both the appetite for fresh demand and the level of dilution shareholders are willing to accept. Strategy mainly finances itself via an “at-the-market” program, or ATM — a method allowing the company to sell shares gradually on the open market

IREN Limited stock pops 10% as bitcoin firms and CPI risk hangs over crypto names

IREN Limited stock pops 10% as bitcoin firms and CPI risk hangs over crypto names

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 13:54 ET — Regular session IREN Limited (IREN.O) shares jumped 10.5% to $50.85 in afternoon trading, hitting a session high of $50.95 earlier. The Nasdaq-listed stock climbed $4.82 from Friday’s close, with volume topping 35 million shares. This shift is significant as crypto-linked stocks kicked off the week reacting to macro headlines once more, ahead of Tuesday’s U.S. inflation report. The Consumer Price Index draws attention because it influences interest rate forecasts and, in turn, risk appetite in volatile market sectors.

Bitcoin price edges higher near $91,000 as Strategy buys $1.25B of BTC; Coinbase stock climbs

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 12:45 EST — Regular session Bitcoin edged up Monday, along with a group of bitcoin-related stocks, as traders balanced a new Strategy buying surge against broader jitters over the Federal Reserve. The token climbed roughly 0.3% to $91,147. Coinbase (COIN) jumped 2.0%, and Strategy (MSTR) ticked up 2.1%. Miners Marathon Digital (MARA) surged 4.4%, with Riot Platforms (RIOT) edging up 1.3%. The scene changed late Sunday when Fed Chair Jerome Powell revealed the Justice Department had handed the central bank grand jury subpoenas and was threatening a criminal indictment. “On Friday, the Department of Justice

Strategy Inc stock ticks higher after $1.25 billion bitcoin buy funded by fresh share sales

Strategy Inc stock ticks higher after $1.25 billion bitcoin buy funded by fresh share sales

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 10:23 EST — Regular session Strategy Inc’s shares inched up 0.2% to $157.64 Monday morning following the company’s announcement that it tapped new share sales to finance another sizable bitcoin acquisition. The disclosure comes as bitcoin sits near $91,132, pushing investors to revisit a familiar dilemma: does Strategy’s “bitcoin-first” balance sheet provide an edge, or simply amplify volatility? Dilution is the key issue now. Strategy has been selling securities on the market, then using the proceeds to buy bitcoin. This effectively turns its stock into a leveraged proxy for bitcoin exposure. Strategy revealed in an

Bitcoin price holds near $91,000 after Strategy’s $1.25 billion buy; crypto stocks mixed

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 10:30 EST — Regular session Bitcoin held close to $91,000 on Monday, while U.S.-listed crypto stocks showed mixed moves following Strategy’s announcement of a new $1.25 billion bitcoin acquisition. This muted shift is significant as investors juggle two factors: institutional demand for bitcoin from large buyers and ETFs, alongside a swift shock to U.S. markets linked to doubts about Federal Reserve independence. Tuesday’s U.S. inflation report now stands as the key pivot for rates, the dollar, and risk appetite. Bitcoin climbed 0.35% to $91,164, bouncing between $90,097 and $92,369 earlier. Coinbase shares gained 0.6%, Strategy

Bitcoin price today wobbles near $90,500 as Trump-Powell row ripples into crypto stocks

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 07:00 EST — Premarket Bitcoin slipped roughly 0.1% to $90,551, bouncing between $90,225 and $92,369 earlier. Ether edged up 0.3% to $3,111. In U.S. premarket action, Coinbase dropped 1.9%, Strategy fell 5.8%, miner Marathon Digital lost 2.0%, while Riot Platforms climbed 1.3%. Sentiment shifted to cautious after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell revealed that the Trump administration threatened him with criminal indictment, sparking fresh concerns about central bank independence and the dollar’s outlook. “The repeated attacks on the Fed’s independence” remain a downside risk for the greenback, said MUFG’s Lee Hardman.

IREN Limited stock (NASDAQ: IREN) nudges up premarket as bitcoin steadies and CPI looms

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 04:51 EST — Premarket IREN Limited’s shares ticked up roughly 0.7% to $46.03 in early premarket action Monday. The stock finds itself caught between two fast-moving trades: crypto pricing and the surge in demand for power-hungry AI computing. Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. ET brings the U.S. consumer price index report for December, a key figure that frequently shakes up rates and risk assets. Bitcoin edged up 0.1%, hovering around $90,714. Crypto-mining stocks showed a mixed bag: Marathon Digital slipped nearly 2%, while Riot Platforms and Core Scientific gained 1.3% and 2.5%, respectively. CleanSpark dropped close

IREN Limited stock: What to know before Monday as bitcoin holds near $91,000 and CPI looms

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 19:14 (EST) — Market closed Nasdaq-listed IREN Limited edged up 0.7% to $46.03 on Friday and could face a new test when markets reopen on Monday, with bitcoin holding near $91,000 late Sunday. The timing matters because IREN has become a proxy for two trades that can turn fast: bitcoin and big-ticket AI infrastructure. Both are sensitive to shifts in rates, risk appetite and liquidity, and the calendar is packed. Top of that calendar is the U.S. consumer price index (CPI) report on Tuesday, the government’s main inflation gauge. Any surprise there can quickly reshape
