BMNR stock rises as MSCI backs off crypto‑treasury index shakeup; BitMine vote looms

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 14:48 (EST) — Regular session Shares of BitMine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (BMNR) were up 3.1% at $31.30 in afternoon trading on Thursday, after swinging between $29.20 and $31.66. The move comes after MSCI dropped a plan to exclude so‑called digital‑asset treasury firms from its indexes. Reuters Crypto‑treasury firms — often called digital asset treasury companies, or DATCOs — have become a traded proxy for bitcoin and ether, the token used on the ethereum network, and index eligibility can matter because passive funds track those benchmarks. Owen Lau at Clear Street said MSCI’s move “removes a

IREN stock jumps 6% in Nasdaq trade as bitcoin miners rebound; CES buzz and payrolls ahead

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 12:58 EST — Regular session IREN Limited (NASDAQ: IREN) shares were up about 6.3% at $46.38 in midday trading on Thursday, after swinging between $42.69 and $47.57 earlier in the session. The move matters because IREN has become a fast, levered way to trade two themes at once: bitcoin-linked cash flows and demand for AI data center capacity.

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 11:18 EST — Regular session Kratos Defense & Security Solutions shares jumped 17.3% to $107.30 in morning trading on Thursday, lifting the San Diego-based defense contractor to one of the market’s strongest gainers.

Strategy Inc stock climbs after MSCI index reprieve — what MSTR traders watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 11:21 EST — Regular session Strategy Inc shares rose on Thursday as investors digested MSCI’s decision to keep so-called digital asset treasury companies in its global benchmarks, at least through the next review. The move matters because index membership can drive forced buying and selling from funds that track benchmarks. Losing that slot can turn into a mechanical hit, especially for stocks that already trade like crypto proxies. MSCI is keeping the group in for now, but it is also tightening the screws. The index provider said it plans a broader consultation on “non-operating” companies,

Helsinki, Jan 8, 2026, 16:49 EET — Regular session Nokia shares fell about 4% to 5.534 euros in Helsinki on Thursday, giving back some of the prior session’s rise after an analyst upgrade, while another broker kept a bearish view.
