Bitcoin Surges Past $70K, Fueling 20%+ Gains for Crypto Stocks
- Bitcoin crossed $70,000 for the first time, causing crypto stocks like Cleanspark, Riot Platforms, and Microstrategy to surge over 20%
- These companies are extremely exposed to Bitcoin price movements since they mine or invest heavily in the cryptocurrency
- This price spike occurred despite recent outflows from Bitcoin spot ETFs, defying skeptics
- Bitcoin is nearing its next "halving" which will cut mining rewards in half, driving more interest before that happens
- With crypto bullishness high and inflation apparently moderating, Bitcoin seems poised to hold its value absent adverse events in the near future
