Hut 8 Mining Corp (HUT) shares surged 5.85% in pre-market trading on Thursday, as cryptocurrency-related stocks rallied following Bitcoin's climb to a 2-1/2 month high of $99,598. The significant uptick in Bitcoin's value has sparked renewed interest in crypto mining companies, with Hut 8 Mining being one of the primary beneficiaries.
The broader crypto market is experiencing a notable upswing, with several other crypto-related stocks also posting impressive gains. Riot Platforms and Marathon Digital Holdings are up 4.2% and 4.3% respectively, while Coinbase Global, a major cryptocurrency exchange, has risen 3.6%. This collective surge underscores the strong correlation between Bitcoin's performance and the stock prices of companies operating in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
As Bitcoin approaches the psychologically important $100,000 mark, investors are showing increased optimism towards crypto mining operations. Hut 8 Mining, with its significant Bitcoin holdings and mining capacity, stands to benefit substantially from this upward trend. The company's pre-market rally reflects growing expectations of improved profitability and heightened investor interest in the crypto mining sector.
