The company’s perpetual preferred equity, STRC, moved closer to par at $100 after its dividend was raised to 11%. Strive (ASST), another bitcoin treasury firm, surged 12%, approaching the $1 level.
AI-focused bitcoin miners extended last week’s rally. Cipher Mining (CIFR) and IREN (IREN) were each up more than 2% in pre-market trading after gaining as much as 10% and 13%, respectively, on Friday, lifting their share prices to about $17 and $44. Hive Digital (HIVE) climbed 6% to around $3 per share.
