Bitcoin surge sparks pre-market gains across crypto-linked equities and miners.

Bitcoin pushed higher on Monday, clearing the $92,000 mark and driving gains across crypto-linked equities, miners and technology stocks in pre-market trading.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency was trading near $92,757 after briefly touching $93,000 during the Asian session. The breakout helped lift bitcoin-related shares and futures tied to major technology benchmarks, including Invesco’s QQQ.

Strategy (MSTR) rose about 3.5% to roughly $163 per share ahead of an expected announcement of another bitcoin purchase later in the day. 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.

MARA Holdings (MARA) advanced 3.5% to above $10, while Riot Platforms (RIOT) and CleanSpark (CLSK) each gained roughly 3%.

In commodities, metals continued to rally following developments linked to Venezuela and the U.S., with gold up about 2% and silver rising roughly 4%. The U.S. dollar index was slightly higher, hovering near the 99 level.
