Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) stock is soaring in Thursday morning trading, up 10% to $135.40 as Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) rebounds hard from its recent lows. Meanwhile, MARA Holdings (NASDAQ:MARA) stock is rallying, up 9% to $12.18 on the same catalyst. Bitcoin itself is up 3% over the past 24 hours to $80,105.20, a notable move for an asset that’s amplifying dramatically inside the crypto-equity complex.
The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY) is up 0.5% to $769.63, so today’s action in the crypto corner is running well ahead of the broad market benchmark. Strategy stock was down 19% year to date through Wednesday’s close, which frames how much recovery ground still remains for the flagship treasury name after a punishing summer. That year-to-date gap is the frame investors should keep in mind before treating a single-session pop as a trend change.
