TON Strategy Shares Flat as Toncoin’s Gram Catches Traders Off Guard

TON Strategy Company fell 1.4% to $4.17 on the Nasdaq late Tuesday morning, missing out on a big move higher in Toncoin. Telegram founder Pavel Durov announced the TON token will be renamed Gram. Shares ranged from $4.17 to $4.44, with volume at about 123,500 just after 11 a.m. EDT. Durov said “TON’s native currency is becoming Gram,” according to The Defiant. The token swap will take about three weeks and bring back the Gram name from TON’s first Telegram-linked white paper, The Defiant said.

Bitmine Immersion Technologies stock climbs after BMNR ether stash hits 4.53 million, holdings top $10.3 billion

Bitmine Immersion Technologies put its crypto, cash, and other holdings at $10.3 billion as of March 8, counting 4,534,563 ether tokens and $1.2 billion in cash. Shares climbed roughly 6% during U.S. afternoon trading. Bitmine’s latest move ramps up its commitment to a playbook now catching on with other small public firms: tapping equity markets to amass an ether stash. Ether underpins Ethereum and, crucially, supports staking — letting holders lock up tokens to bolster network security and earn rewards. That staking angle is a key reason Bit Digital CEO Sam Tabar told Reuters last year the asset had reached “institutional-grade” status, though he noted it’s still in the early innings of broader adoption.

XRP Price Today: Ripple Token Lags Bitcoin, Ether as $30 Million Outflows Hit

XRP hovered near $1.37 Monday in New York, rising roughly 2%. Still, the token lagged behind bitcoin, ether and solana, as fresh flow figures pointed to outflows from XRP-focused investment products. The outflows stand out, especially since crypto as a whole continued to pull in cash. On Monday, a rougher macro backdrop emerged: oil spiked to $119.50 a barrel, bonds slumped, and the dollar climbed. Investors grew anxious that an extended Iran conflict might stoke inflation and lock in higher rates.

Strategy Inc Stock Drops as Bitcoin Rally Cools After $204 Million Buy

Strategy Inc dropped around 4.5% Thursday, tracking a pullback in bitcoin after the token shed a chunk of Wednesday’s gains. The stock continues to move in step with the cryptocurrency. Bitcoin slipped about 2.5%, changing hands near $70,880. Strategy grabbed attention this week after disclosing it snapped up another $204.1 million worth of bitcoin, lifting its stash to 720,737 tokens—cementing its top spot among public companies holding the cryptocurrency. Once MicroStrategy, the firm has reshaped itself into a bitcoin play, funding fresh buys with new securities.

Visa’s stablecoin-linked cards are headed to 100+ countries — here’s what’s changing

Visa Inc plans to extend its collaboration with Stripe’s Bridge, the stablecoin platform, aiming to roll out stablecoin-linked Visa cards across more than 100 countries, according to a joint statement from the companies Tuesday. With this move, card program operators can now choose to settle transactions on blockchain rails, working through Lead Bank, Bridge’s partner. The deal comes as stablecoins — crypto tokens usually linked to the U.S. dollar — are starting to show up in payments infrastructure, not just trading. Back in January, Visa’s crypto chief Cuy Sheffield told Reuters the company saw $4.5 billion in annualised stablecoin settlement. That’s tiny compared to the $14.2 trillion Visa handled in payments volume last year, but the stablecoin figure keeps climbing

Bitmine Immersion (BMNR) swings higher as its giant Ethereum stash keeps traders locked in

Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. shares surged 7.92% to finish Wednesday at $21.12, according to Investing.com. The crypto-linked stock then ticked down 0.14% to $21.09 ahead of Thursday’s open, as the NYSE American ticker kept up its recent swings. The shift is significant: Bitmine now trades like a high-beta play on ether, Ethereum’s native token. More public companies are positioning as “treasury” proxies, parking sizable crypto reserves on their books and giving stockholders direct exposure—up or down—to the underlying coins.

MARA Bitcoin sell-off rumor flares as exec pushes back and filing widens sales options

MARA Holdings is countering fresh online rumors about plans to unload most of its bitcoin, a narrative that picked up after its latest annual filing. “Our 2026 10-K clearly states we expanded our strategy to allow for sales of bitcoin held on our balance sheet,” Robert Samuels, vice president of investor relations, posted on X. This matters for MARA, since the company holds a sizable bitcoin stash—investors frequently use the stock as a stand-in for the cryptocurrency. Even a suggestion that a big holder might start offloading coins can shake sentiment quickly.

SoFi taps Mastercard to settle card payments in SoFiUSD stablecoin — here’s what changes

SoFi Technologies has extended its tie-up with Mastercard, opening the door for SoFiUSD — its U.S. dollar stablecoin — to be used as a settlement method on Mastercard’s global payments rails. “SoFiUSD is at the heart of our strategy to make it faster, cheaper, and safer for people around the world to move money,” CEO Anthony Noto said. This announcement lands at a key moment: settlement—the under-the-hood process that keeps card payments moving—still relies on old-school batch windows and fixed cut-off times. A stablecoin, a type of crypto token pegged to the U.S. dollar or another currency, has backers arguing it enables round-the-clock fund transfers.

Circle Internet Group stock jumps again as rates drive the USDC story

Shares of Circle Internet Group, Inc. finished Wednesday at $105.27, up 5.7%, extending their winning streak to three sessions. Since Monday’s close, the stock has climbed roughly 10%. Mizuho Securities bumped its price target on the shares up to $100, from its earlier $90, sticking with a neutral stance. The firm flagged inflation risk if oil keeps climbing. “Rising oil prices could drive up inflation, lowering the odds of rate cuts,” wrote analyst Dan Dolev. CEO Jeremy Allaire, for his part, called the quarter “another step forward” for the company.

Strategy Inc surges with bitcoin above $72,000 as latest filing details fresh buys

Strategy Inc shares jumped roughly 10% Wednesday, riding a wave of gains as bitcoin broke past $72,000 and sent a group of crypto-linked stocks higher. This matters: Strategy, chaired by veteran bitcoin bull Michael Saylor, has effectively turned itself into an equity-market stand-in for bitcoin. Years of funneling both cash and fresh capital into crypto have led it here.

SoFi Technologies’ Mastercard stablecoin deal puts SoFiUSD settlement in focus as CEO buys $1 million of SOFI stock

SoFi Technologies, Inc. on Tuesday announced a broader partnership with Mastercard, allowing its U.S. dollar-linked stablecoin, SoFiUSD, to settle payments across Mastercard’s worldwide network. The company added that its bank arm plans to use SoFiUSD to settle both credit and debit card transactions that run on Mastercard rails. Timing is crucial here: settlement—the actual shifting of funds between banks after a card gets swiped—often drags on and racks up costs, more so with cross-border transactions. Enter stablecoins, those crypto tokens pegged to the U.S. dollar, which are touted for enabling money transfers 24/7, sidestepping the usual bank cutoff windows.

IREN Limited stock jumps as bitcoin rallies; crypto miners back in play

Shares of IREN Limited rose about 12% on Wednesday, snapping back after a weak prior session as bitcoin climbed. The stock was last up 12% at $43.59, after trading as low as $39, with roughly 25.8 million shares changing hands; bitcoin was up about 7% near $73,700 after swinging between roughly $67,500 and $74,000. The move put crypto-linked stocks back on traders’ screens as risk appetite steadied in broader markets. “Bitcoin’s gains encouraged long-term and short-term traders to take on risk,” said Michael James, an equity sales trader at Rosenblatt Securities.

Bitcoin price jumps back above $73,000 as ETF inflows return and Iran war headlines drive swings

New York, March 4, 2026, 12:53 EST — Regular session Bitcoin jumped past $73,000 on Wednesday, gaining around 7% for the session as traders dove back into risk following a rocky bout of volatility. The cryptocurrency was last at $73,294, up $4,958, or 7.3%, from its previous close, after a session that saw moves between $67,501 and $73,669. Ether also caught a bid, advancing roughly 8.5% to $2,151.

MARA Holdings stock slides as SEC filing opens door to selling bitcoin stash

MARA Holdings, Inc. shares slipped roughly 8% Wednesday morning. The bitcoin miner said it's expanding its treasury policy, signaling it may start selling some of the bitcoin on its books. This shift is significant. MARA holds a hefty stash of bitcoin, which can serve as both a ready pool of cash and, possibly, a drag on the stock if investors worry about future sales. Right now, miners are scrambling for money to keep expansion plans alive. On top of that, the company is pouring more effort into AI-related data center projects, where spending often outpaces incoming cash.

SoFi’s SoFiUSD stablecoin gets a Mastercard settlement lane — and traders are watching

SoFi Technologies is deepening its relationship with Mastercard, now introducing SoFiUSD—its U.S. dollar stablecoin—as an added settlement option on Mastercard’s global payments network. So why does this project matter? Settlement marks the point where card payments wrap up—when the money actually shifts between the banks that handled the transaction. A stablecoin, for its part, is a kind of crypto token with a goal: keep its value steady, typically locked to the U.S. dollar.
