Bitmine Immersion stock jumps as Tom Lee pitches vote to expand share authorization

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 06:39 ET — Market closed Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (BMNR) closed up 14.88% on Friday at $31.19, with about 58.4 million shares traded, after the company promoted a shareholder vote to dramatically increase the number of shares it is allowed to issue. The push matters because it would reshape the company’s capital flexibility at a time when the stock is already prone to sharp moves. “Authorized shares” is the legal cap on how many shares a company can issue. Raising that limit can make it easier to sell stock, do deals using stock as currency,

AST SpaceMobile stock jumps nearly 15% as BlueBird 6 orbit milestone refocuses traders on 2026 rollout

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 03:57 ET — Market closed Shares of AST SpaceMobile Inc rose 14.9% on Friday to close at $83.47, after swinging between $69.25 and $83.76.

CoreWeave stock jumps after-hours after SEC filing eases liquidity covenant

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 17:51 ET — After-hours CoreWeave shares rose in after-hours trading on Friday after the AI cloud provider disclosed amendments to a key credit agreement that loosen near-term covenant requirements, a filing showed. The stock was last up 10.8% at $79.32. The changes matter now because investors have been focused on how quickly heavily financed AI infrastructure companies can turn equipment deliveries into revenue and cash. Covenant tweaks can reduce the risk of a technical breach if project timing shifts. CoreWeave’s filing tied the amendment directly to delivery timing, underscoring that lenders — and shareholders —

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 14:50 ET — Regular session Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC shares fell 6.4% to $20.01 in afternoon trading on Friday, after swinging between $23.29 and $19.67 earlier in the session.

Hut 8 stock jumps today as Coinbase expands its $200 million bitcoin-backed credit line

New York, January 2, 2026, 13:17 ET — Regular session Hut 8 Corp shares jumped about 14% on Friday, extending a volatile start to the year for crypto-linked stocks, after a regulatory filing showed the company expanded a bitcoin-backed credit facility with Coinbase.

The move matters because Hut 8 sits at the intersection of two fast-moving trade drivers: bitcoin prices and financing for energy-hungry computing projects. When either shifts, the stock tends to swing harder than the broader market. It also lands as investors re-price miners and “compute
