Strive Jumps 5% After CEO Declares Bitcoin Bear Market Over
If cryptocurrency sentiment shifts, investors may monitor digital asset-related equities for potential upside. However, a broader market pullback alongside crypto weakness could pressure these names.
Based on reporting from yahoo-tickers-tape-movers.
Strive surged 5% as CEO Matt Cole declared the Bitcoin bear market concluded, a sentiment echoed by Strategy and Bitmine which also saw gains. This optimistic outlook for digital assets comes despite a broader market mix with the S&P 500 down 0.20% and the Nasdaq 100 off 1.00%. Investors are watching for sustained upward momentum in cryptocurrencies to repair balances for digital asset holders.

Strive jumped 5% as Chief Executive Officer Matt Cole announced his conviction that the Bitcoin bear market has ended. The declaration coincided with gains for Strategy and Bitmine Immersion Technologies, each rising 3%. Bitcoin itself saw a 2% increase over 24 hours. The broader market showed mixed signals, with the S&P 500 down 0.20% and the Nasdaq 100 declining 1.00%. The CoinShares Bitcoin Mining and Digital Power ETF, however, slid 2% and has fallen 20% over the past month.
Cole's assertion followed Bitcoin's simultaneous breakout against both the U.S. dollar and gold. Strive, a significant holder of Bitcoin, is positioned to benefit from a sustained increase in digital asset prices. The company's shares had already climbed 48% in the preceding week. Separately, Strategy disclosed raising over $2 billion by selling shares without liquidating any of its Bitcoin holdings, with a substantial portion allocated to a new unrestricted cash account.
