Shares of crypto-related companies are trading higher amid a rise in the price of Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency continues to face volatility but has decoupled from risk assets this week and has outperformed Gold.

Shares of Bitcoin-linked companies MicroStrategy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), MARA Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>) and Riot Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIOT#NASDAQ">RIOT</a>) all traded higher Tuesday as Bitcoin surged above $91,000, gaining 3.3%. 
The move comes potentially amid growing investor sentiment that Bitcoin is evolving into a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44926052/bitcoin-reclaims-90000-is-digital-gold-heading-to-100000-next">safe-haven asset</a> — "digital gold" — as U.S. equities and the dollar <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44904179/wall-street-sinks-dollar-slides-as-trump-ramps-up-fed-attacks-whats-driving-markets-monday">continue to be volatile</a>.
What To Know: Bitcoin's rally, alongside record highs in gold, is potentially reinforcing its appeal as an alternative to traditional U.S. stocks, particularly in volatile markets.

Speculation around Fed Chair Jerome Powell's possible resignation and expectations of dovish policy shifts may be further driving interest in Bitcoin over equities, as traders seek inflation hedges and diversification.
MEXC COO Tracy Jin told Benzinga the cryptocurrency's strength is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44926052/bitcoin-reclaims-90000-is-digital-gold-heading-to-100000-next">"reshaping investor perception,"</a> noting that institutional flows could accelerate in the second-quarter if Bitcoin holds key support above $86,000.
As reported by our Benzinga team, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44926052/bitcoin-reclaims-90000-is-digital-gold-heading-to-100000-next">technical signals</a> also support the move. Bitcoin cleared its 50-day moving average, with FxPro's Alex Kuptsikevich pointing to momentum above its 200-day MA as a potential catalyst.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy MARA Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in MARA Holdings&#8217; case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

What's Going On With Bitcoin-Related Stocks MicroStrategy, Coinbase, MARA Holdings And Riot Platforms?

JP Morgan analyst Reginald L. Smith observed that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC/USD) miners saw mixed performance in early April. A drop in the average Bitcoin price during the first half of the month strained mining economics<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44794011/bitcoin-reclaims-momentum-as-100k-calls-resurface-and-tariff-relief-lifts-market-mood" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> despite solid operational gains in March.</a>
Per Smith, pure-play miners like MARA Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>) and CleanSpark, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLSK#NASDAQ">CLSK</a>) outpaced Bitcoin&#8217;s price gains, while firms with exposure<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44816721/bitcoin-price-rips-through-86k-as-strategic-reserve-push-gains-global-traction" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> to high-performance computing lagged behind.</a>
The analyst notes that the average Bitcoin price in early April was around $82,600, down 3% from March. It dipped to $75,000 but later recovered to about $85,000.

Smith said March was a strong operational month, with U.S.-listed miners adding around 15 EH/s and increasing coin production, partly due to easier month-over-month comparisons. Smith highlights that this was led by IREN Limited (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IREN#NASDAQ">IREN</a>) and Hut 8 Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUT#NASDAQ">HUT</a>).
However, the overall network hash rate grew faster than U.S. miners&#8217; expansion, and Bitcoin's average price dipped in the first half of April, putting pressure on mining profitability.
Smith also estimated that U.S.-listed miners are now trading at roughly 1.2 times their share of the four-year block reward opportunity, down from recent highs and the lowest in over two years.
According to Smith, MARA Holdings and Bitdeer Technologies Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTDR#NASDAQ">BTDR</a>) were the best and worst-performing stocks over the first two weeks of April, respectively.
Other firms that delivered weaker performance than their peers are TeraWulf Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WULF#NASDAQ">WULF</a>), IREN Limited and Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIOT#NASDAQ">RIOT</a>), owing to their high-performance computing exposure.

The Bernstein report highlights that the anticipated regulatory framework, influenced by bills like FIT21 and the Lummis-Gillibrand Responsible Financial Innovation Act, could allow platforms to trade both securities and non-securities under a unified structure, overseen by the SEC and CFTC. 
For Robinhood, currently operating as a broker-dealer, this clarity would broaden its addressable market. 
"Clarity on listing crypto asset securities and tokenized equity securities would expand the addressable market for HOOD," the report states, noting that Robinhood has so far limited its crypto offerings to major assets like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), which are classified as commodities, as well as meme tokens like Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>).
The new framework could enable Robinhood to list tokenized equities of leading public and private companies, potentially creating new marketplaces, such as for prediction markets similar to Polymarket, which Robinhood has already integrated via the Kalshi platform.

For Coinbase, the largest U.S. crypto exchange with a 66% market share, the regulatory changes could streamline operations and enhance competitiveness against international exchanges like Binance. 
The report explains that Coinbase, which currently operates with multiple state licenses, could be licensed as an alternative trading platform, avoiding the cumbersome state-by-state compliance process. 
"With greater regulatory clarity, COIN can be more aggressive versus international exchanges," the report notes, highlighting that over 90% of crypto trading volume remains offshore. 
This shift would allow Coinbase to list more assets beyond its current conservative approach of 250 tokens, potentially including token-linked futures contracts, a market where offshore futures volumes are three to four times larger than spot volumes.
Why It Matters: The report also underscores broader industry trends supporting these changes. It points to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44416968/kraken-to-buy-ninjatrader-for-1-5-billion-entering-us-crypto-futures-market-in-2025">Kraken's acquisition</a> of NinjaTrader for $1.5 billion, enabling the second-largest U.S. crypto exchange to offer equities, ETFs and equity futures to its crypto users, illustrating a growing convergence of traditional and crypto assets.
Bernstein analysts argue that the distinction between crypto and equity traders is diminishing, as evidenced by Robinhood's success in attracting young traders who actively engage in both markets, driving operational efficiencies through integrated back-ends and blockchain technology.
Additional industry developments noted in the report include Strategy's recent acquisition of 3,459 Bitcoin for $285.8 million, bringing its total holdings to 531,644 Bitcoin valued at $35.9 billion, and Ripple's $1.25 billion acquisition of crypto prime-broker Hidden Road, which may integrate Ripple's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) new stablecoin RLUSD.
Marathon Digital&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>) initiative to energize 25MW micro-data centers using flared natural gas in Texas and North Dakota was also highlighted, showcasing cost-effective Bitcoin mining strategies.
Meanwhile, the SEC's approval of options trading on spot Ethereum ETFs from issuers like BlackRock, Bitwise and Grayscale reflects growing institutional acceptance of digital assets.

Decoding MARA Holdings's Options Activity: What's the Big Picture?

Shares of Bitcoin miners and crypto-linked stocks are trading higher following President Trump's decision to implement a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China.

Shares of Bitcoin miners and crypto-linked stocks are trading lower amid a drop in Bitcoin as market uncertainty persists.

In a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cryptocurrencies">crypto-linked</a> stock market that oscillates like a pendulum, Bitwise Asset Management introduced a plan to translate that volatility into money. The company has introduced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">three new ETFs</a>, each targeting option income strategies based on some of the most volatile stocks in the crypto universe: Bitwise MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IMST#NYSE">IMST</a>), Bitwise COIN Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICOI#NYSE">ICOI</a>) and the Bitwise MARA Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IMRA#NYSE">IMRA</a>).
Each of these funds is structured on a covered call strategy intended to capture income by selling options on individual shares of MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), Coinbase (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), and MARA Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>). The concept? Ride the turbulence in the market on your side. Receive premiums on selling options and maintain a long position to derive at least a partial benefit from any upside the stock yields.

These are not passive, rules-based products. Rather, they&#8217;re operated with a hands-on mindset by Bitwise&#8217;s Head of Alpha Strategies, Jeff Park. &#8220;It's essential to be constantly monitoring news, capital flows, regulatory developments, options pricing, market sentiment, and other dynamics to most intelligently capitalize on this strategy. That's the approach we're taking with IMST, ICOI, and IMRA, and we hope to bring investors the combination of monthly income and strong, limited participation in equity gains as a result,&#8221; he said.
Park is accompanied by a group of co-managers—Jennifer Thornton, Daniela Padilla, and Gayatri Choudhury—who will guide these funds with daily active management, which is fairly uncommon in the ETF space.
The <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250403628192/en/Bitwise-Launches-Option-Income-ETF-Suite-a-Dynamic-Active-Approach-to-Covered-Calls-on-MSTR-COIN-and-MARA">objective </a>is clear: earn monthly returns for investors while sharing in some of the capital gain in these stocks. There&#8217;s a trade-off, naturally—selling calls limits the upside potential, but the ongoing premiums provide a predictable income stream, which is particularly attractive in volatile markets.
Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley says crypto's volatility isn't just something to endure—it's something to harness.
Interestingly, these funds don&#8217;t actually own shares of MSTR, COIN or MARA. Rather, they employ synthetic exposure to mimic the stock positions. Pure equity players may want to look elsewhere, but for those who wish to combine crypto market themes with an income strategy, this launch may be the sweet spot.
Each fund has a 0.98% net expense fee, although IMST and ICOI are associated with a minor fee waiver that cuts the gross fee from 0.99% until March 2027.

Bitwise Turns Crypto Volatility Into Yield With New ETF Trio

Shares of crypto-linked stocks and Bitcoin miners are trading lower as markets react to President Trump's announcement of sweeping tariffs.

MARA Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>) shares are trading lower amid broader market weakness. The company on Thursday provided a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) production and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/g44625642/mara-announces-bitcoin-production-and-mining-operation-updates-for-march-2025">mining operation update for March</a>.
What Happened: MARA Holdings said it mined 829 bitcoin in March, up 17% month-over-month from 706 bitcoin mined in February. 
Total bitcoin holdings grew to 47,531 as of the end of the month. The company&#8217;s energized hashrate increased 1% to 54.3 EH/s as of March 31. 
&#8220;Energized hashrate grew&nbsp;1%&nbsp;over February and we expect to finish construction of our 40-megawatt data center in Ohio by the end of April. We will continue to focus on being the dominant player in bitcoin mining while expanding our footprint in energy generation,&#8221; said Fred Thiel, chairman and CEO of MARA Holdings.
MARA Holdings shares are seeing some selling pressure Thursday as broader crypto markets fall with global risk assets following sweeping reciprocal tariffs from U.S. President Donald Trump.
The Trump administration announced new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44621408/market-access-has-a-price-trump-unveils-list-of-tariffs-countries-targeted">tariffs</a> on several countries around the world late Wednesday, raising the risk of a global trade war and creating further economic uncertainty.
The S&amp;P 500 was last down nearly 3.5%, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. Bitcoin was down about 4.4% over a 24-hour period, trading around $82,150 at the time of writing. 
MARA Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/mara" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MARA Holdings shares</a> were down 9.14% at $11.26 at the time of publication Thursday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.

What's Going On With Bitcoin Mining Stock MARA Holdings Thursday?

Mara Holdings shares are trading lower. The company provided Bitcoin production and mining operation updates for March of 2025.

Fort Lauderdale, FL, April 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=V-0nYzFaL2nHiXE8MQvul89eQUpKHI9mbKvadvKCrHeI2_s5h3R-RL4gPhAxDulc0wsznXaWrBuUjiN3QO0nDT6_i9uEokQLL5Vm6VDJIkA=">MARA Holdings, Inc.</a> (NASDAQ: <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=hgFvAausj0i1ZfS9Vgw1tw_AYTQ5E6eBzO7be50lW9S1iouX4Mod6HQjZluQpJyctURoTeOcW39mQ0ZH1oR07A==">MARA</a>) ("MARA" or the "Company"), a global leader in leveraging digital asset compute to support energy transformation, today published unaudited bitcoin ("bitcoin" or "BTC") production updates for March 2025.
Management Commentary "In March, our production saw a 17% month-over-month increase in blocks won, even as global hashrate and mining difficulty grew," said Fred Thiel, MARA's chairman and CEO. "Our bitcoin holdings surpassed 47,000 BTC during March and the 242 blocks mined were the third most in a month on record.
"MARAPool is the only self-owned and operated mining pool among public miners, offering distinctive control and efficiency. Operating our own pool means no fees to external operators, higher earnings and superior performance. MARA Pool's luck factor has exceeded the network average by over 10% since launch, meaning more blocks mined and higher rewards.
"Energized hashrate grew 1% over February and we expect to finish construction of our 40-megawatt data center in Ohio by the end of April. We will continue to focus on being the dominant player in bitcoin mining while expanding our footprint in energy generation."

MARA Announces Bitcoin Production And Mining Operation Updates For March 2025; Company Won 242 Blocks, A 17% Increase MoM. Increased Bitcoin Holdings To 47,531 BTC

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is increasingly popular <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44569292/congressman-buys-up-to-600k-in-bitcoin-etf-after-selling-1-million-in-goldman-sachs-stock-committee-assignment-could-be-red-flag">among corporate buyers</a>, with on-chain data suggesting ongoing accumulation by other large entities.
What Happened: In a detailed X <a href="https://x.com/cryptoquant_com/status/1907377531143016915">thread</a> on Wedneday, research firm CryptoQuant pointed out that despite public companies accumulating 91,781 BTC in Q1, Bitcoin dropped 12%, from $94,400 to $82,500. 
Tether emerged as a surprise buyer, adding 8,888 BTC, while Strategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) made the largest move, acquiring 81,785 BTC for more than $8 billion.
Other buyers included The Blockchain Company (+605 BTC), Semler Scientific Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMLR#NASDAQ">SMLR</a>) (+1,108 BTC) and Metaplanet (+2,285 BTC) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTPLF#OTC">MTPLF</a>). 
On-chain analytics shows more corporate buying could be on the horizon, with Marathon Digital (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>) planning a $2 billion stock sale for BTC purchases and GameStop (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) exploring a $1.3 billion Bitcoin strategy through a convertible note offering.
However, the price decline was driven by long-term holders selling 178,000 BTC in Q1, outweighing corporate accumulation. Additionally, $4.8 billion in Bitcoin ETF outflows added further downward pressure on price.

Why It Matters: Glassnode data listed several bullish indicators for Bitcoin:

<li>Retail investors (under 1 BTC) are <a href="https://x.com/glassnode/status/1907358419859669116">offloading</a> while whales (10+ BTC) accumulate, highlighting a divergence in investor sentiment.</li>

<li>BTC holders from 2020-2022 are still <a href="https://x.com/glassnode/status/1907001005251625160">holding</a> significant wealth, despite a 3% decline in their share since the November 2024 peak.</li>
