TeraWulf stock climbs as bitcoin tops $93,000 and crypto-linked shares rebound (WULF)

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 12:26 EST — Regular session Shares of TeraWulf Inc (WULF) rose 4.9% to $13.36 in midday trading on Monday, lifting with bitcoin as crypto-linked stocks caught a bid. The move matters now because miners often trade as a high-beta proxy for the token: when bitcoin rises, revenue expectations can improve quickly, while power and infrastructure costs tend to adjust more slowly. Risk appetite also steadied across markets after weekend geopolitical headlines, leaving investors focused on the near-term path for U.S. interest rates and the data that could reset it.

IREN Limited stock jumps 10% as bitcoin climbs; traders eye U.S. jobs report next

New York, January 5, 2026, 11:40 EST — Regular session Shares of IREN Limited jumped about 10% in morning trading on Monday as bitcoin rebounded, pulling crypto-linked stocks higher. The Nasdaq-listed stock was up $4.42 at $47.12 by 11:40 a.m. EST, after trading between $43.64 and $47.21, while bitcoin rose about 2.8% to $93,836. The move matters because IREN has become a high-beta bet on both crypto prices and the buildout of computing power for artificial intelligence. Miners’ shares often swing more than bitcoin because revenue tracks the coin price while power and other operating costs tend to move more

Coinbase stock jumps after Goldman upgrade as Bitcoin trades near $94,000 — what investors watch next

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 11:57 EST — Regular session Coinbase Global (COIN.O) shares rose about 7% to $253.63 in late-morning trade on Monday after a Goldman Sachs upgrade put the crypto exchange back on traders’ buy lists. The call matters now because crypto-linked stocks are moving with a fresh leg higher in bitcoin, and investors have been looking for reasons to own the larger “picks-and-shovels” names rather than smaller, more volatile plays. For Coinbase, the immediate question is whether the company can keep shifting its business mix toward steadier revenue streams as crypto trading ebbs and flows with price

CleanSpark stock jumps 7% as bitcoin rallies; miners rise with February earnings in view

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 11:00 EST — Regular session CleanSpark Inc shares rose about 7% on Monday, tracking a rally in bitcoin and a broader lift in U.S.-listed crypto miners. The stock was up at $12.37 in late morning trade. The move matters now because bitcoin miners’ cash generation is tightly linked to the token’s price: higher prices typically mean richer block rewards in dollar terms. Bitcoin was up 2.8% at roughly $93,862, helping buoy sentiment across the group. Mining investors are also watching signs that competition may be easing. JPMorgan analysts Reginald Smith and Charles Pearce wrote the

Strategy Inc (MSTR) stock jumps after fresh bitcoin buy, flags $17.4 billion Q4 paper loss

New York, January 5, 2026, 10:55 (ET) — Regular session Shares of Strategy Inc were up 5.5% at $165.84 on Monday after the company disclosed fresh bitcoin purchases and a preliminary fourth-quarter mark-to-market hit on its digital assets. SEC The update matters because Strategy has become one of Wall Street’s most liquid proxies for bitcoin, with the stock often amplifying moves in the cryptocurrency. The company has regularly raised cash by selling securities to add to its bitcoin holdings, putting its financing pace and potential dilution in focus for equity investors. SEC Strategy also used the filing to preview the

Bitcoin price nears $94,000 as Strategy buy boosts Coinbase and crypto stocks

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 09:59 EST — Regular session Bitcoin climbed on Monday morning as crypto-linked stocks rallied after Strategy disclosed another bitcoin purchase and investors weighed the market impact of Washington’s dramatic move in Venezuela. Bitcoin was up 2.4% at $93,501 by 9:59 a.m. EST. SEC The move matters now because bitcoin is starting the first full trading week of 2026 with geopolitics back on the tape and a run of U.S. data that can quickly reset interest-rate expectations. That mix has been driving sharp swings across “risk” assets — markets that tend to rise when investors feel

Strive Asset Management (ASST) stock jumps premarket as Bitcoin firms and Semler vote looms

NEW YORK, January 5, 2026, 05:15 ET — Premarket Shares of Strive Inc (ASST.OQ) — whose main operating subsidiary is Strive Asset Management, LLC — were up about 10% in early premarket trading on Monday, after ending Friday at $0.8646. The stock gained 17% in the prior regular session. StockAnalysis The timing matters because Strive describes itself as a Bitcoin treasury company — a firm that holds bitcoin on its balance sheet — and says it is focused on increasing “bitcoin per share,” or the amount of bitcoin backing each share.

Bitcoin price climbs above $92,000 as ETF inflows return ahead of U.S. jobs data

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 03:47 ET — Market closed Bitcoin rose about 1.2% to $92,449 by 3:47 a.m. ET, steadying into the first full trading week of the year. It traded between $90,905 and $93,170 in the latest session. The Bitcoin price move matters now because traders are trying to gauge whether the early-January bid is durable or just a bounce in a market that still takes its cues from U.S. rates and the dollar. Crypto desks are also watching whether new-year allocation flows translate into sustained demand. U.S.-listed spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds — products that hold bitcoin directly

Strategy Inc stock jumps on 11% preferred dividend hike as Q4 bitcoin hit looms

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 5:05 PM ET — Market closed Strategy Inc shares rose 3.5% on Friday to $157.16, after the bitcoin-treasury company lifted the annual dividend rate on its variable-rate preferred stock to 11% from 10.75% and declared a $0.916666667 per-share cash dividend for January, a filing showed. SEC The tweak matters now because Strategy’s equity has increasingly traded as a levered bet on bitcoin, while the company’s funding stack has grown more complex. Investors have been watching how much cash it commits to dividends and interest as it continues to pitch itself as a gateway into crypto

Bitcoin price back above $91,000 as ETF inflows put Coinbase, Strategy stocks in focus

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 12:36 ET — Market closed Bitcoin climbed back above $91,000 on Sunday, extending a new-year rebound that lifted crypto-linked stocks and U.S.-listed bitcoin funds in the first session of 2026. With U.S. stock markets shut for the weekend, the move still matters for holders of spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) — listed funds that hold bitcoin and trade like stocks — and for companies whose shares tend to track the token’s swings. It also lands ahead of a busy U.S. macro week that could reset interest-rate expectations, a key driver for risk assets from tech

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 10:19 ET — Market closed Shares of TeraWulf Inc (WULF) rose 10.8% on Friday to $12.74, a strong start to 2026 for the Nasdaq-listed bitcoin miner. The stock traded between $11.57 and $12.79 in the session. The move underscored renewed demand for high-beta crypto equities at the start of the year. Bitcoin was last up about 1.4% at $91,253, leaving miners’ stock gains well ahead of the token’s latest move. Investors also had fresh insider reports to parse.

Hut 8 stock jumps 12% to start 2026 as Coinbase boosts bitcoin-backed credit line — what to watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 10:11 ET — Market closed Hut 8 Corp shares ended the first trading day of 2026 up 11.6% on Friday, a sharp move that put the bitcoin miner and data-center operator back on momentum screens heading into Monday’s open. The stock closed at $51.27. The move matters now because crypto-linked equities have been trading as high-beta proxies for bitcoin and for investors’ broader appetite for risk, and because miners have been leaning on financing to fund expansion without issuing new stock. A larger secured credit line can buy time and flexibility when funding conditions tighten.
