Why IREN stock jumped 13% to start 2026 — and what investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 14:46 ET — Market closed IREN Limited shares surged about 13% on Friday, closing at $42.70 in the first trading session of 2026, as bitcoin recovered above the $90,000 mark and crypto-linked stocks bounced. Yahoo Finance The move matters because IREN trades as a high-beta proxy for two volatile themes: bitcoin mining and the push by some miners into AI-focused data centers. When bitcoin stabilizes and risk appetite improves, the group tends to move sharply. CoinDesk “The market is seeing a ‘buy the dip, sell the rip,’ trading mentality,” Joe Mazzola, head of trading &

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

CleanSpark stock today: CLSK jumps 14% as Bitcoin rebounds — what traders watch next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 07:24 ET — Market closed. CleanSpark Inc (CLSK) shares rose about 14% on Friday to close at $11.55 after trading between $10.20 and $11.61, with roughly 22.2 million shares changing hands. The move matters because CleanSpark is a bitcoin miner, and its revenue is tied to the price of bitcoin and the health of the mining market. Miners earn bitcoin for validating transactions, so their shares often swing more than the cryptocurrency itself. That sensitivity is back in focus as crypto markets try to set an early tone for 2026 after a choppy year-end. Investors

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.

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.

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

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 06:55 ET — Market closed.

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 17:30 ET — After-hours Strategy Inc shares were up about 3.5% at $157.16 in after-hours trading on Friday, after a sharp session that ranged from $150.03 to $160.76. Trading volume was about 20 million shares. The move matters because Strategy has become a bellwether “bitcoin treasury” trade, and small changes in how it funds itself can ripple through both its common stock and its yield-heavy preferred shares. Investors have focused on the company’s cost of capital as it leans on multiple security types to finance its bitcoin strategy. Broader risk appetite also set the backdrop

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.

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.
