BTC Breaks $79K, Igniting a "Crypto Stock Rally": Mining Firms and BTC Treasury Companies Surge

as the cryptocurrency market continues its rebound, shares of Bitcoin mining firms and digital asset treasury companies rose over the weekend. Market participants believe that the U.S. Treasury's announcement to expand the scale of long-term Treasury buybacks has boosted liquidity expectations, fueling improved sentiment toward risk assets and further lifting crypto-related stocks. Bitcoin mining firm Canaan saw its share price surge over 25%; MARA Holdings continued to climb after rising nearly 16% on Thursday. Strive, a digital asset treasury company holding more than 20,000 BTC, gained over 16% on Friday.Additionally, Trump stated that the U.S. government may purchase Bitcoin on a "large scale" in the future. The market rally was also driven by improved expectations for U.S. regulatory clarity. On Thursday, President Trump again urged Congress to advance the CLARITY Act, a bill aimed at further defining the U.S. digital asset regulatory framework and delineating the respective oversight roles of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the crypto market.
