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

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

Coinbase stock inches up as stablecoin rewards fight hits the Senate — what traders watch next for COIN

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 19:47 (EST) — Trading extended into after-hours. Shares of Coinbase Global ended Monday roughly 0.9% higher at $242.98, holding steady in after-hours trading. The move follows a Bloomberg News report that the crypto exchange is stepping up pressure on U.S. lawmakers regarding “stablecoin rewards” ahead of a crucial Senate markup this week. (Bloomberg Law) The stakes couldn’t be clearer. Stablecoins—crypto tokens meant to maintain a steady value, often pegged to the U.S. dollar—have become a bigger revenue driver for Coinbase. As crypto prices fluctuate, Coinbase’s income from stablecoin balances has taken on greater importance. In

IREN stock jumps after Bernstein tags it a top AI pick as bitcoin holds near $91,000

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 17:41 EST — After-hours IREN Limited (IREN) shares climbed 9.3% Monday, holding close to a 9% gain after hours. Bitcoin stayed near $91,216. Meanwhile, Marathon Digital, Riot Platforms, and CleanSpark gained between 2.9% and 7.4%. IREN’s stock fluctuated between $45.85 and $51.62 on about 53 million shares traded. This shift is significant since IREN straddles two hot trades: bitcoin mining and leased AI computing power.

Strategy stock jumps after-hours as MSTR buys $1.25 billion of bitcoin again — what investors watch next

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 17:31 EST — After-hours Strategy Inc (MSTR) climbed in after-hours Monday following its announcement of an additional $1.25 billion bitcoin acquisition, financed through fresh share issuance. The filing arrives amid a sensitive period for the stock. Strategy has emerged as one of the market’s largest “bitcoin proxy” plays — letting investors bet on the token via an equity that often moves more sharply than bitcoin itself. It also shifts focus onto funding. The strategy hinges on accessing capital markets, including at-the-market offerings — which allow a company to sell shares at current market prices —

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. (Bureau of Labor Statistics) Bitcoin climbed roughly 1% to $91,638, giving a boost to

XRP price stock today: Ripple token slips near $2 as Fed probe and U.S. crypto bill loom

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 12:51 (EST) — Regular session XRP dipped roughly 1% to near $2.07 on Monday, as traders digested new political uncertainty tied to the Federal Reserve and braced for a U.S. Senate crypto bill session scheduled for later this week. This move is significant because crypto is once again acting like a pure risk gauge. When policy headlines jolt rates and the dollar, smaller tokens can see sharp swings—even if there’s no XRP-specific news out there. Another factor: Washington might finally set firmer boundaries on which regulator handles what in crypto — a core plumbing issue

Coinbase stock rises as Senate crypto bill fight puts stablecoin rewards back in play

New York, January 12, 2026, 12:22 EST — Regular session Shares of Coinbase Global Inc rose Monday following a Bloomberg Law report that the crypto exchange is pressing U.S. lawmakers to keep the “rewards” it pays to stablecoin holders. The company might withdraw support for a key market-structure bill if the proposed restrictions become too strict. (Bloomberg Law) The timing is crucial. Senate negotiators aim to finalize a wide-ranging framework for crypto markets, but stablecoin rewards have sparked a last-minute battle between banks and crypto firms, each pushing to influence the final wording. Coinbase climbed roughly 2.1% to $245.83 by
