Crypto Stocks Surge as Trump Meets Industry Leaders; Strategy Up 12%, Coinbase 9.7%
COIN sits 15% above its 52-week low of $139.11.
Summary
Coinbase and Strategy are rallying sharply as President Trump meets with crypto executives at the White House. Strategy is up 12.1% to $103.72, its best day since June 29, while Coinbase is up 9.7% to $160.46, on pace for its highest close since July 30. Bitcoin itself is up 5.7% to $68,273. The meeting is a direct engagement between the administration and the crypto industry, and traders are positioning for potential policy tailwinds. This follows a period of heavy losses for both stocks — Coinbase is still down 29% year-to-date despite today's gain. The rally is broad-based, with Strategy the top performer in the Nasdaq 100 and Coinbase the fourth-best in the S&P 500.
