Strategy (MSTR), Coinbase (COIN) Surge As Bitcoin Hits $73k
"Bitcoin surged past $73,000 this morning, hitting a one-month high after recovering from six straight weekly losses and five months of declines. The rebound came as traders covered bearish bets and adjusted positions, following heavy shorting amid fears of an escalating conflict in Iran."
"Earlier this week, Strategy purchased 3,015 bitcoin for around $204 million, raising its total holdings to 720,737 BTC acquired at an average of $75,985 per coin. The current bitcoin price is getting near to that average."
"On Truth Social, Trump said banks "need to make a good deal with the Crypto Industry" and called it unacceptable that the recently passed GENIUS Act is "being threatened and undermined by the Banks." The dispute revolves around whether crypto exchanges can offer rewards programs that pay annual percentage yields on stablecoins."
Bitcoin recovered from six consecutive weekly losses and five months of declines, surging past $73,000 to reach one-month highs. This recovery triggered significant gains across crypto-related equities, with MicroStrategy jumping 12.3%, Coinbase rising 16.2%, and Galaxy Digital climbing 15%. The rebound reflected traders covering bearish bets and adjusting positions following geopolitical tensions. MicroStrategy recently purchased 3,015 bitcoin for approximately $204 million, bringing total holdings to 720,737 BTC. The price movement coincided with President Trump meeting privately with Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and subsequently criticizing banks for blocking cryptocurrency legislation, particularly regarding stablecoin yield programs that banks fear could divert deposits from traditional accounts.
