Cipher Mining stock jumps as bitcoin pushes back above $90,000 in early 2026 trade

Cipher Mining stock jumps as bitcoin pushes back above $90,000 in early 2026 trade

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 13:27 ET — Regular session Cipher Mining Inc (CIFR) shares rose about 9% to $16.07 in early afternoon trading on Friday, after swinging between $14.79 and $16.43. The stock opened at $14.90 and volume topped 15 million shares. The move matters because bitcoin miners can act like a high-beta trade on the cryptocurrency. Their revenue is linked to the bitcoin price, while many operating costs — especially power — do not move in lockstep. That leverage cuts both ways at the start of 2026, with traders repricing risk as crypto and equities digest shifting macro

IREN stock jumps 11% as bitcoin nears $90,000; SEC filing adds dilution watch

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 12:43 ET — Regular session Shares of IREN Limited jumped 10.8% to $41.85 by late morning trading on Friday, extending a sharp rebound for the crypto-linked stock in the first U.S. session of 2026. The move matters because IREN sits at the intersection of bitcoin prices and the AI infrastructure trade, two themes that can swing hard as investors reset portfolios for the new year. “The market is looking for direction,” said Matthew Maley, chief market strategist at Miller Tabak, as traders eye next week’s U.S. jobs report and inflation data for signals on Federal

Bitcoin price today: BTC edges toward $90,000 as ETF flows and U.S. jobs data come into focus

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 09:59 ET — Regular session Bitcoin rose about 2% on Friday to $89,555, extending a rebound into the first U.S. trading session of 2026 as buyers again tested the $90,000 threshold. The move comes after bitcoin ended 2025 down more than 6% following a sharp fourth-quarter pullback from an October record above $126,000, a slide that underlined the token’s sensitivity to wider risk appetite. Reuters That matters now because spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, have become a primary channel for institutional demand and can amplify moves when flows swing. U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs saw

MARA stock slips before the bell as bitcoin steadies near $89,000 and share-plan filing draws focus

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 08:49 ET — Premarket Shares of MARA Holdings Inc (MARA.O) fell 3.6% to $8.98 in premarket trading on Friday, while bitcoin edged higher. The move put the bitcoin miner on watch heading into the first full U.S. trading day of 2026 after the New Year’s Day holiday closure. Traders often use miners as a liquid proxy for crypto risk, meaning the stocks can swing harder than bitcoin itself.

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 07:51 ET — Premarket Bitcoin rose 1.8% to $89,441 early Friday, edging back toward $90,000 after a soft finish to 2025. It traded between $87,722 and $89,797. The move comes as investors reopen portfolios on the first U.S. trading day of 2026, with stock index futures higher and risk appetite improving after late-December declines.

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 05:02 ET — Premarket TeraWulf Inc (WULF) shares rose 2.9% to $11.49 in premarket trading, lifting off a previous close of $11.17. The move puts the spotlight back on bitcoin-linked stocks at the start of 2026, after analysts argued the market is still struggling to price miners that are trying to become data-center operators. That shift matters now because high-performance computing (HPC) — data centers that rent power, space and cooling for intensive workloads such as artificial intelligence — tends to offer longer-dated, contracted revenue than bitcoin mining. It also requires heavy upfront spending and
