MARA stock jumps 10% as Bitcoin climbs above $90,000 — what to watch before markets reopen

MARA stock jumps 10% as Bitcoin climbs above $90,000 — what to watch before markets reopen

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 05:28 ET — Market closed Shares of bitcoin miner MARA Holdings (MARA) closed up 10.4% at $9.91 on Friday, tracking a rebound in crypto-linked stocks on the first trading day of 2026. Yahoo Finance The move matters because MARA trades as a leveraged proxy for bitcoin. Miners’ revenue is tied to the value of the coins they earn, so the stocks often move more sharply than the token itself. Traders head into the new week focused on U.S. economic releases, capped by Friday’s payrolls report, for clues on interest-rate expectations. “It’s a time to actually

TeraWulf stock jumps nearly 11% as bitcoin steadies near $91,000 — what WULF traders watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 19:37 ET — Market closed TeraWulf Inc shares closed Friday up 10.9% at $12.74, one of the strongest moves among U.S.-listed crypto miners as 2026 trading got underway. About 26 million shares changed hands. Nasdaq Bitcoin was last up about 1.3% near $91,216, supporting the broader miner complex. Marathon Digital rose about 10%, Riot Platforms gained about 12% and CleanSpark added about 14%. The early-year bounce arrives as investors reassess risk appetite after a choppy end to 2025. U.S. stocks finished the first session of 2026 mixed, while cryptocurrencies advanced, as traders weighed the outlook

Hut 8 stock jumps 12% as bitcoin rallies and Coinbase credit line returns to focus

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 19:24 ET — Market closed Hut 8 Corp. shares surged in the last U.S. stock session, closing up about 11.6% at $51.27. The move capped a sharp rebound for the crypto infrastructure name after the New Year holiday. The rally mattered because traders continue to treat Hut 8 as a high-beta proxy for bitcoin and the broader “crypto equities” trade — stocks that often amplify moves in digital assets. Bitcoin was last around $91,271, up about 1.5%. It also kept attention on Hut 8’s financing and its shift toward data centers for artificial intelligence workloads,

CleanSpark stock jumps 14% to start 2026 as Bitcoin steadies near $90,000 — what’s next

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 18:56 ET — Market closed CleanSpark shares jumped 14.1% in the latest session, closing at $11.55 after swinging between $10.18 and $11.58. With U.S. markets shut for the weekend, the stock’s most recent after-hours print was $11.59. Yahoo Finance The rally mattered because crypto-linked equities are starting 2026 still tethered to bitcoin’s day-to-day swings. Bitcoin mining companies sell or hold the coins they produce, so a move in the token can quickly change revenue expectations in dollar terms. That sensitivity is coming into focus ahead of a busy U.S. economic week. Traders are watching whether

MARA stock jumps 10% as bitcoin miners rebound — what traders watch before Monday

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 18:09 ET — Market closed Shares of MARA Holdings, Inc. closed up 10.2% at $9.91 on Friday, capping a sharp rebound in U.S.-listed bitcoin-mining stocks heading into the first weekend of 2026. Roughly 45.4 million shares changed hands. The move matters now because bitcoin miners often trade like a leveraged proxy for the cryptocurrency itself, meaning equity swings can be outsized even on modest moves in the coin. With U.S. markets shut for the weekend, any shift in crypto prices can show up as a gap when stocks reopen. Bitcoin was last up about 0.4%

IREN stock jumps 13% as bitcoin miners rebound; SEC filing adds fresh angle for traders

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 14:10 ET — Market closed IREN Limited (IREN) shares jumped 13.05% on Friday to close at $42.70, their first session of 2026, as investors rotated back into high-volatility crypto and AI infrastructure-linked names. Finviz The move matters because IREN has become a fast-moving proxy for two themes that can swing sharply on sentiment: bitcoin mining and powering AI computing. Friday’s bounce signaled renewed appetite for risk after a late-December slide in growth and speculative names. The rally was not isolated. Larger listed bitcoin miners Marathon Digital (MARA), Riot Platforms (RIOT) and CleanSpark (CLSK) also ended

Bitcoin price today: BTC hovers near $90,000 as Fed data loom; crypto stocks jump into 2026

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 12:21 ET — Market closed Bitcoin eased 0.9% to $89,990 on Saturday, hovering near the $90,000 mark as weekend trading stayed thin. Ether slipped 0.9% to $3,105.90. The start of 2026 finds bitcoin still wrestling with a round-number threshold that has shaped positioning for both tokens and the crypto-linked stocks that tend to amplify the underlying move. Macro drivers are back in focus after the holiday lull, with investors looking ahead to a “critical week of economic data” that could reset expectations for U.S. interest-rate cuts. “It’s going to be a time to actually do

CleanSpark (CLSK) stock jumps 14% as bitcoin steadies near $90,000 — what traders watch next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 10:40 ET — Market closed CleanSpark shares surged 14.0% to close at $11.55 on Friday. The stock traded between $10.20 and $11.61 and changed hands in about 22.2 million shares. The bitcoin miner’s shares often swing harder than bitcoin itself because its revenue is tied to the token’s price while many operating costs, such as power and equipment, don’t move as quickly. That leverage matters at the start of the year, when portfolio rebalancing and shifts in risk appetite can amplify moves in crypto-linked stocks. Markets are also looking ahead to a heavy run of

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 06:55 ET — Market closed. MARA Holdings Inc (MARA.O) shares rose 10.2% on Friday to close at $9.91, extending a rebound in crypto-exposed stocks on the first trading day of 2026. The stock has ranged from $8.95 to $23.45 over the past 52 weeks, highlighting the volatility investors have attached to bitcoin-linked names. The move matters now because bitcoin miners often trade like a leveraged bet on the token itself. Revenue is tied largely to the bitcoin price, while costs are dominated by electricity and equipment. Bitcoin was around $89,689 early Saturday, up about 0.3%

Bitcoin price forecast for next week: BTC steadies near $90,000 after U.S. strike on Venezuela

Bitcoin price forecast for next week: BTC steadies near $90,000 after U.S. strike on Venezuela

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 06:31 ET — Market closed Bitcoin hovered near $89,700 early Saturday after President Donald Trump said the United States carried out a large-scale strike on Venezuela and captured President Nicolas Maduro. Bitcoin was last up about 0.4% at $89,680, after trading between $88,509 and $90,804.  Reuters The weekend move matters because bitcoin trades 24/7 and often gives the first read on investor risk appetite when stocks are shut. The world’s biggest cryptocurrency is also sitting just under the closely watched $90,000 mark, a round-number level that has acted as a pivot for traders in recent

IREN stock jumps 13% as bitcoin trades near $90,000 and miners rally

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 19:41 ET — After-hours Shares of IREN Limited (IREN.O) rose 13.1% and were last at $42.70 in after-hours trading on Friday, after earlier ranging between $38.10 and $42.96. About 30.5 million shares changed hands. The move came as bitcoin traded around $90,000, helping buoy crypto-linked equities at the start of 2026. Other U.S.-listed miners also advanced, with Marathon Digital, Riot Platforms and CleanSpark up roughly 10% to 14% on the day. The backdrop matters because bitcoin has been trading more like a risk asset — moving with broader appetite for higher-risk trades — rather than

Bitcoin price today nears $90,000 as Coinbase stock, miners rise after hours

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 4:47 PM ET — After-hours Bitcoin, the world’s biggest cryptocurrency, rose 1.9% to $89,904 on Friday, hovering just below $90,000 after trading between $88,195 and $90,804 on the day. Ether, the second-largest token, gained 4.7% to $3,124. The move puts crypto back on traders’ screens as markets return from the holiday lull and investors test whether risk appetite is improving into the first full week of 2026. It also comes after a bruising late-2025 stretch that reshaped how many investors frame bitcoin — less as a diversifier and more as a rates-sensitive risk trade. Linh
