What’s Going On With Bitcoin Mining Stocks MARA Holdings, Riot Platforms And CleanSpark?

Bitcoin BTC/USD mining stocks MARA Holdings Inc MARA, Riot Platforms Inc RIOT and CleanSpark Inc CLSK are trading higher Wednesday following softer-than-expected Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. Here’s a look at what’s going on.

What To Know: Bitcoin BTC/USD is surging following core CPI data that came in below expectations. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported a 2.9% increase in headline CPI for December on a year-over-year basis, in line with economist estimates. Core CPI increased by 3.2% year-over-year, versus estimates for a 3.3% increase.

Broader markets are rallying on the heels of the inflation data and crypto names are getting an extra lift from a rise in Bitcoin prices. Bitcoin was up about 3.15% over a 24-hour period, trading around $99,350 at last check, per Benzinga Pro.

BlackRock head of digital assets Robert Mitchnick on Wednesday said Bitcoin adoption is still in the early stages. Although demand for spot Bitcoin ETF products has been off the charts from retail investors, he suggested that wealth advisory and institutional investors have been slower to adopt Bitcoin strategies.

BlackRock on Wednesday reported a record $641 billion in full-year 2024 net inflows and a 14% increase in full-year revenue.
