BitMine Immersion (BMNR) stock jumps 15% as Tom Lee pushes 50-billion share authorization vote

BitMine Immersion (BMNR) stock jumps 15% as Tom Lee pushes 50-billion share authorization vote

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 06:51 ET — Market closed BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc shares closed sharply higher in the last U.S. session after the crypto-focused company stepped up its push for shareholders to approve a sweeping increase in its authorized shares. The stock ended Friday up 14.9% at $31.19. Nasdaq The vote matters because authorized shares set the maximum number of shares a company is allowed to issue under its charter. Raising that ceiling can give management room for stock sales, stock-based deals or stock splits, but it can also amplify dilution worries if new shares are issued. BitMine’s

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

Bitmine Immersion (BMNR) stock jumps as Tom Lee pushes 50-billion authorized-share vote

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 05:06 ET — Market closed Bitmine Immersion Technologies shares jumped 14.88% on Friday to close at $31.19, after swinging between $27.46 and $31.26 on volume of about 57.8 million shares. StockAnalysis The move followed company communications urging shareholders to vote “YES” on a charter amendment to raise the number of authorized shares — the maximum the company can legally issue — from 500 million to 50 billion. A filing showed the voting deadline is Jan. 14, ahead of an annual meeting slated for Jan. 15. Securities and Exchange Commission The timing matters because the authorization

Strategy Inc stock today: MSTR ends higher after preferred dividend reset as bitcoin swings stay in focus

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 04:31 ET — Market closed Strategy Inc shares closed Friday up 3.5% at $157.16, after trading between $150.03 and $160.76. Bitcoin was up about 1.7% early Sunday at roughly $91,258. The move put fresh attention on Strategy’s funding machine, after the company adjusted the payout on one of its preferred share classes used alongside common-stock issuance to support its bitcoin-heavy balance sheet. That matters now because Strategy’s equity often trades as a high-beta proxy for bitcoin, while its capital-raising tools—common stock and several preferred series—can tighten or loosen depending on investor appetite for risk and

Galaxy Digital stock jumps nearly 11% after Friday rally — here’s what traders watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 7:41 PM ET — Market closed Galaxy Digital shares last closed up 10.8% on Friday at $24.75, outperforming as investors rotated back into crypto-linked names ahead of the weekend. The move matters now because Galaxy’s results tend to track digital-asset activity — when crypto prices and volatility rise, trading volumes and demand for related services often follow. Crypto-linked stocks are shares of companies whose business models are materially tied to cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin and ether advanced on the first U.S. trading day of 2026, supporting sentiment in the sector even as broader equity markets finished mixed.

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.

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.

XRP price today steadies near $2 as spot XRP ETF inflows and SEC exit draw focus

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 12:26 ET — Market closed XRP traded around $2.01 on Saturday, down about 0.1% on the day after a near 7% rise on Friday that lifted the token back above the $2 level. It has moved between roughly $1.99 and $2.05 so far on Saturday, Investing.com data showed. The $2 handle is back in play as investors weigh a new demand channel — spot XRP exchange-traded funds — against shifting U.S. regulatory headlines and the usual early-year repositioning in crypto.

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
