Crypto stocks and Bitcoin ETFs wobble premarket after MSCI shelves crypto-treasury exclusion plan

Crypto stocks and Bitcoin ETFs wobble premarket after MSCI shelves crypto-treasury exclusion plan

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 07:33 (EST) — Premarket MSCI said it will not proceed with a proposal to exclude digital asset treasury companies — firms whose digital asset holdings make up 50% or more of total assets — from its indexes, opting instead for a broader consultation on how non-operating companies should be treated. Reuters That matters because index rules are not academic. Passive funds and benchmark trackers buy and sell when lists change, and the trade can spill into other crypto proxies fast. The timing is awkward, too. The first-week bounce in crypto has cooled, and the mood has

Twelve Data The pullback comes a day after Morgan Stanley filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to launch exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, tied to the prices of bitcoin and solana.

Bitcoin price today slips near $93,000 as Morgan Stanley ETF filing puts Coinbase, Strategy stock in focus

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 17:31 (EST) — After-hours Bitcoin fell 1.2% to $93,112 on Tuesday after trading between $91,409 and $94,346, while U.S.-listed crypto-linked stocks were mixed in after-hours trading.

Strategy Inc (MSTR) stock jumps after hours after MSCI drops index-exclusion plan for bitcoin treasuries

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 17:39 EST — After-hours Strategy Inc (MSTR) shares rose 5.1% to $166 in after-hours trading on Tuesday after MSCI said it would not implement a proposal to exclude “digital asset treasury companies” — firms that hold large crypto positions on their balance sheets — from its global stock indexes. MSCI said companies with digital asset holdings representing 50% or more of total assets would keep their current index treatment for now, while it opens a broader review of non-operating firms and freezes some inputs used to set index weights. Strategy closed down 4.1% at $157.97

MARA stock slips as bitcoin retreats; Morgan Stanley ETF filing keeps crypto shares in focus

MARA stock slips as bitcoin retreats; Morgan Stanley ETF filing keeps crypto shares in focus

New York, January 6, 2026, 15:30 EST — Regular session Shares of MARA Holdings fell 1.4% to $10.45 in afternoon trade on Tuesday as bitcoin slid about 2.3%, pulling back from an early-year rebound in the token. The stock has traded between $9.97 and $10.68 so far in the session, with the $10 mark back in focus as a near-term pivot for traders. The move matters now because bitcoin miners such as MARA often trade as a high-volatility proxy for the cryptocurrency, amplifying swings in sentiment around crypto prices and regulation. Morgan Stanley on Tuesday filed for exchange-traded funds, or

Bitdeer (BTDR) stock slides as bitcoin dips and lawsuit deadline nears

New York, January 6, 2026, 15:12 EST — Regular session Shares of Bitdeer Technologies Group fell 4.6% to $11.91 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, extending choppy moves for the bitcoin miner after a sharp rise in the prior session. The stock tracked a dip in bitcoin, which was down about 2.2% at around $92,297. Miners often move more than the cryptocurrency because their revenues and margins can swing with token prices and network conditions. The drop also comes as fresh law-firm notices circulated on Tuesday reminding investors of a pending securities class action and a Feb. 2 deadline to seek

Strategy (MSTR) stock slips as bitcoin falls and filing flags $17.4 billion paper loss

Strategy (MSTR) stock slips as bitcoin falls and filing flags $17.4 billion paper loss

New York, January 6, 2026, 15:06 EST — Regular session Strategy Inc shares fell about 5% to $156.41 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, after swinging between $154.14 and $167.05. Bitcoin was down about 2.2% at around $92,362. The moves matter because investors often treat Strategy — formerly MicroStrategy — as a leveraged proxy for bitcoin. When the coin swings, the stock can move harder, and the accounting swings can dominate what the software business earns. A regulatory filing on Monday showed Strategy booked a $17.44 billion unrealized loss on digital assets in the fourth quarter and a $5.40 billion unrealized

IREN Limited stock slides 10% as bitcoin cools — what investors watch next

IREN Limited stock slides 10% as bitcoin cools — what investors watch next

New York, January 6, 2026, 14:22 (EST) — Regular session IREN Limited (IREN) shares fell about 10% on Tuesday, retreating with other crypto-linked names as bitcoin turned lower. The Nasdaq-listed stock was down 10% at $43.43, after trading between $47.79 and $43.19 on volume of about 26.3 million shares. The move matters now because IREN has become a high-beta proxy — meaning it often moves more than the broader market — for two themes that can swing fast: bitcoin prices and demand for power-hungry AI computing. When either narrative shifts, the stock tends to magnify the turn. Tuesday’s drop followed

Bitcoin price dips below $92,000 as Coinbase and Strategy stocks slide despite Morgan Stanley ETF filing

NEW YORK, January 6, 2026, 13:43 EST — Regular session Bitcoin fell 2.2% to $91,849 on Tuesday, reversing an earlier climb that took it as high as $94,683. Crypto-linked U.S. stocks also slipped in regular trade. The pullback came as Morgan Stanley filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for ETFs tied to bitcoin and solana — a first such move by a major U.S. bank into the crypto fund market. “A bank entering the crypto ETF market adds legitimacy to it, and others could follow,” said Bryan Armour, an ETF analyst at Morningstar.

IREN stock drops 7% after Monday surge as bitcoin slips; CES chip news in focus

New York, January 6, 2026, 12:09 EST — Regular session Shares of IREN Ltd fell about 7% in midday Nasdaq trading on Tuesday, pulling back from a sharp prior-session rally as bitcoin eased. The stock was down 7.2% at $44.75, while bitcoin traded around $92,676 and peers Marathon Digital, Riot Platforms and CleanSpark slipped 2% to 5%. The decline comes a day after IREN jumped 13% to close at $48.24 on roughly 46 million shares, highlighting the stock’s outsized swings early in 2026. For investors, the move matters because IREN sits between two fast-moving themes — crypto-linked mining and AI

Coinbase stock slips after Monday rally as bitcoin cools; Goldman upgrade stays in focus

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 11:25 EST — Regular session Coinbase Global Inc (COIN) shares were down 1.2% at $251.90 on Tuesday, after closing at $254.92 in the prior session. Bitcoin slipped 0.6% to $93,227. The pullback matters because Coinbase remains a liquid proxy for shifts in crypto risk appetite, even as the company tries to broaden its business beyond transaction fees. Investors are weighing whether that shift can dampen the stock’s sharp swings tied to token prices. That question is back in focus with markets bracing for catalysts that can jolt rate expectations and risk sentiment. When crypto prices

New York, January 6, 2026, 10:08 EST — Regular session Bitcoin steadied near $94,000 on Tuesday while shares of Strategy Inc slipped, as investors weighed fresh Wall Street activity around crypto exchange-traded funds. Bitcoin was up 0.6% at $93,837 and Strategy (MSTR) fell 1.1% to $162.90. A filing showed Morgan Stanley is seeking U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approval to launch ETFs tied to the prices of bitcoin and solana, marking its first such push as a big U.S. bank. ETFs are funds that trade like stocks, giving investors a regulated wrapper for exposure without holding the token directly. Reuters
