Bitcoin price hovers near $91,000 as ETF money turns; Strategy stock ticks up after MSCI call

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 17:13 EST — After-hours Bitcoin was last up 0.2% at $91,142 on Thursday, after sliding as low as $89,312 earlier in the session, and U.S.-listed crypto stocks finished mixed in extended trading. Strategy was up 3.2%, while Coinbase slipped 0.1%; miners Marathon Digital and Riot Platforms rose 3.7% and fell 1.0%, respectively. The market is trying to price two moving parts at once: whether bitcoin-treasury stocks stay anchored in major indexes and whether the ETF bid is still there. MSCI shelved a plan to exclude so-called digital asset treasury companies — operating firms that hold

IREN stock jumps 6% in Nasdaq trade as bitcoin miners rebound; CES buzz and payrolls ahead

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 12:58 EST — Regular session IREN Limited (NASDAQ: IREN) shares were up about 6.3% at $46.38 in midday trading on Thursday, after swinging between $42.69 and $47.57 earlier in the session. The move matters because IREN has become a fast, levered way to trade two themes at once: bitcoin-linked cash flows and demand for AI data center capacity. This week’s CES headlines have kept the AI side in play, while macro data on Friday could swing risk appetite across the tape. https://techcrunch.com/2026/01/06/ces-2026-everything-revealed-from-nvidias-debuts-to-amds-new-chips-to-razers-ai-oddities/ Bitcoin was little changed around $91,000, but U.S.-listed miners were mostly higher.

Bitcoin price today: BTC slips near $90,000 as ETF outflows weigh on crypto-linked stocks

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 10:23 (EST) — Regular session Bitcoin slipped on Thursday and kept U.S.-listed crypto-linked shares on the defensive in morning trade.

Hyperscale Data (GPUS) stock jumps as company flags $369 mln in assets, touts Bitcoin war chest

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 08:14 EST — Premarket Hyperscale Data Inc shares rose about 38% in premarket trading on Thursday after the company published preliminary estimates of its year-end assets and pushed a planned cadence of balance-sheet updates.

Rumble’s Tether-backed crypto wallet brings Bitcoin and USDT tips — and shares jump

New York, January 7, 2026, 19:11 (EST) Rumble Inc launched a crypto wallet with stablecoin issuer Tether on Wednesday, aiming to let viewers pay creators directly on its platform. Rumble shares jumped about 5% after the launch, CoinDesk reported. CoinDesk The move lands as creator platforms look for ways to move money faster and with fewer tolls from banks and payment processors. Rumble is also betting that a direct payments option matters for creators who worry about fees, freezes or sudden shutdowns. It is a branding play, too. Rumble pitches itself as a YouTube rival with a free-speech edge, and

Bitcoin price dips after-hours as MSCI lifts Strategy stock; Coinbase and miners swing

NEW YORK, January 7, 2026, 17:49 (EST) — After-hours Bitcoin fell on Wednesday and stayed soft after the U.S. close, while shares of Strategy held firmer after MSCI backed away from an index change. Bitcoin was last down 2.3% at $91,031 after touching a session low of $90,629; Strategy was up 2.5% at $161.83. MSCI on Tuesday dropped a proposal to exclude “digital asset treasury companies,” or DATCOs, from its indexes and said it would open a broader consultation on how to classify non-operating firms.

NEW YORK, January 7, 2026, 14:34 (EST) — Regular session Bitcoin fell on Wednesday, with the world’s largest cryptocurrency down about 1.4% at $90,951. It has traded between $90,629 and $93,734 so far in the session. The pullback lands in a week when macro data are back in charge of the tape, and bitcoin is trading with it. U.S. job openings slid in November and economists expect Friday’s nonfarm payrolls report to show another modest gain, a mix that could shape rate-cut bets and risk appetite in one go.

NEW YORK, Jan 7, 2026, 13:44 (EST) — Regular session Strategy shares rose on Wednesday after MSCI backed away from a plan that could have pushed the bitcoin-heavy company out of major benchmarks, even as bitcoin slipped. Bitcoin was down about 0.7% at $91,253 and Strategy was up about 2% in afternoon trade; Coinbase fell about 2.5%. MSCI said on Tuesday it would keep the current treatment of “digital asset treasury companies” — firms it defines as having crypto holdings worth at least 50% of total assets — and open a broader consultation on how non-operating companies should be handled.

Coinbase stock slips as bitcoin cools and Wall Street checks the fine print

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 12:43 PM EST — Regular session Shares of Coinbase Global, Inc. (COIN) were down 1.6% at $246.50 on Wednesday, after trading as low as $245.48 and as high as $254.35. Bitcoin slipped 0.7% to about $91,488 and ether fell 2.4% to roughly $3,160, cooling risk appetite across crypto-linked stocks. The U.S. crypto exchange’s stock often tracks swings in digital assets because a large share of its revenue still comes from transaction fees. When prices chop around, traders look for one thing: volume. If customers don’t trade, the fee pool dries up. That matters now because

NEW YORK, January 7, 2026, 12:39 (EST) Morgan Stanley Investment Management has filed initial registration statements for two crypto-linked exchange-traded products — the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust and the Morgan Stanley Solana Trust — and said the securities cannot be sold until the filings become effective.
