Shares of cryptocurrency-focused companies such as Coinbase (COIN) and MicroStrategy (MSTR) jumped Thursday morning ahead of the first trading session of the new year as Bitcoin (BTCUSD) also rose.
Cryptocurrency and a number of related stocks rose Thursday morning in the first trading session of 2025, continuing a rally that began earlier in 2024.
Shares of Coinbase (COIN) and MicroStrategy (MSTR) each rose nearly 4% Thursday morning, while Bitcoin (BTCUSD) also rose over 2% to $96,500. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETHUSD) rose over 3.4% Thursday.
Cryptocurrency and a number of related stocks surged in the weeks following Donald Trump's election victory in November, but the rally slowed in the second half of December. A number of executives in the crypto industry cheered Trump's victory as they said a second Trump term will likely be a friendlier regulatory environment than the Biden administration has been.
Bitcoin capped its rally by breaking the $100,000 threshold for the first time in December before retreating, with some analysts predicting the digital currency could reach double that number by the end of 2025.
Bitcoin and the stocks, which often mirror the cryptocurrency's performance, ended the year below those peaks. Coinbase and MicroStrategy each declined in the final four trading sessions of 2024, while bitcoin rose less than 1% on Dec. 31.
