Cryptocurrency Stocks Surge on Donald Trump’s First Day in Office


On the first day of Donald Trump’s second term as President of the United States, cryptocurrency-related stocks saw significant gains, signaling a potential boost for the sector under the new administration.

Shares of Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA) led the way, surging by an impressive 8.8%, reaching an intraday high of $20.98 before closing at $19.91.

Marathon, a major player in the Bitcoin mining industry, benefited from increased investor optimism surrounding the future of cryptocurrency under Trump’s leadership.

Coinbase Global Inc. (COIN) also saw a notable increase, with its shares rising by 4.9% to close at $295.48.

As one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, Coinbase’s performance reflects growing confidence in the future of digital asset trading as the U.S. government transitions to a new administration.

Meanwhile, MicroStrategy Inc. (MSTR), the business intelligence firm that has been a major proponent of Bitcoin, experienced an 8.0% boost, finishing the day at $396.50.

The company has become well-known for its significant Bitcoin holdings, making its stock particularly sensitive to the price of the cryptocurrency.

These gains come amid a broader sense of optimism for the cryptocurrency industry under Trump’s presidency. Many investors believe that the new administration may offer favorable policies for digital assets, which has fueled investor confidence.

While it’s early days, the performance of these cryptocurrency stocks could be indicative of the growing role digital assets are expected to play in the economy during the coming years.

With Trump’s first day in office yielding positive returns for these companies, the market will be watching closely to see how the administration’s policies will impact the sector moving forward.
