2025 Crypto Market Winners From Bitcoin Treasuries to Mining Giants: Cryptocurrency-related stocks kicked off 2025 with a bang, driven by the surge in Bitcoin, which touched the $100,000 level. Miners, treasuries, and other related companies rallied on the back of speculative investing. However, the midpoint of the year showed that there are only so many speculative investments before the fundamentals take hold. Initial rallies treated enterprises aggressively for crypto exposure. Hut 8 Corp. (HUT) and Riot Platforms Inc. (RIOT) demonstrated double-digit returns, and Ethereum treasury company BitMine Immersion (BMNR) rallied over 1,800% through early July following the announcement of its Ethereum treasury. Strategy (MSTR), holding an exclusive Bitcoin investment portfolio, lagged behind others. The global Bitcoin hash rate increased from April to October, reaching a high of 1.15 quintillion hashes per second, thus driving mining and infrastructure stocks. The adoption by institutional investors, exemplified by being included in the S&P 500 Index by Coinbase, influenced the market. However, by the second half of the year, the crypto market normalized, leading early movers like SharpLink Gaming (SBET) and Metaplanet to correct on their early gains. Circle (CRCL), which is an issuer of stable coins, also retreated 70% on its peak price after its mid-year IPO due to a correction in valuations. Year-end performance makes it clear that sustainable execution matters more than story in these sectors. Looking ahead to 2026, analysts forecast that crypto stocks will continue to be very responsive to Bitcoin and Ethereum trends but will succeed or fail based on execution and regulation. Top-performing crypto-related stocks of 2025 (As of December 15th): BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc. (BMNR): +318% Hut 8 Corp. (HUT): +83% Galaxy Digital Inc. (GLXY): +26% Riot Platforms Inc. (RIOT): +24% Sharplink Gaming Inc. (SBET): +14.7% Metaplanet Inc.(3350): +13% #market

Bitcoin Poised for Sharp Rebound as Gold Targets $5,000 in 2026 VanEck Says: "Bitcoin has been outrun by gold and the Nasdaq-100 so far in the year, which is frustrating for investors that have been expecting it to play off currency debasement and scarcity dynamics," VanEck says, "It seems that those dynamics are actually setting up bitcoin to have a strong comeback in 2026". It is clear from these statements that David Schassler, the multi-asset solutions strategist for VanEck, thinks bitcoin is actually running 50% behind the Nasdaq 100 this year, which Schassler finds more opportunistic than problematic. It is clear from VanEck's outlook for 2026 that Schassler expects bitcoin's performance to put it near the top beneficial assets for next year. Schassler's prediction is based on a macro thesis. With more and more governments dependent on monetary expansion in order to finance their expenditure and commitments, the demand for scarce hard assets is likely to speed up. Under these circumstances, VanEck has forecast the gold rally to continue to $5,000 an ounce in 2026 based on its performance this year. Bitcoin, in his view, is expected to take cues from gold. His theme is that bitcoin always reacted in kindness when conditions of liquidity came back, and feelings about debasement got strong again. Tightening financial conditions and lower risk appetite have been negative for cryptos this year, but the opposite may ignite demand for it again as an store of value. VanEck also highlights the quiet bull market that is unfolding in the real assets domain, which ranges from the infrastructure of AI to energy transition, robotics, and re-industrialization. In this regard, the increasing perception is that assets such as gold, natural resources, and bitcoin are integral to the next world order. Noting that while bitcoin has recently underperformed, VanEck believes that 2026 offers a strong potential reversal on the back of a sharp bounce if gold continues to show that demand for protection is on the upswing. #BTCVSGOLD

Miner Capitulation Signals Potential Bitcoin Rebound VanEck Says: Periods where bitcoin mining slows may actually represent less bearish market conditions and may signal a continuation in market pricing momentum, according to digital asset investment firm VanEck. Recent information available reveals that the hashrate of bitcoin's network declined by the greatest amount within the last 30 days since April of 2024. Although hashrate is perceived to be linked to times of stress within the bitcoin community, VanEck believes that hashrate represents an indicator that fluctuates close to bottoms and not peaks. While bitcoin markets are trading around $87,000 after a major pullback from their peak in October, miners are under pressure because of low prices and the effect of the latest halving. It is generally seen that such conditions pressure miners who are incurring higher costs and are over-leveraged to either shut down their operations or liquidate their holdings, a phase known as "miner capitulation". VanEck points out that hashrate degradation takes time to fall after the market, so the greatest amount of selling pressure may already be out of the market by the time the hashrate decreases. When the less efficient miners leave the market, the mining difficulty adjusts, making it more profitable for those that stay, hence less selling pressure. Historically, such a structure has been more advantageous to longer-term buyers. VanEck determined that when negative growth in hashrate at the 90 day mark occurred, bitcoin returned positively within the next 180 days approximately 77 percent of the time. It is estimated that buying during hashrate corrections resulted in improvements of approximately 2,400 basis points in six-month forward returns relative to buying during increasing hashrates. As per VanEck, the current downturn in mining seems selective rather than systemic, implying that the overall network is strong and that the capitulation of miners could set the stage for yet another phase of recovery for the price of bitcoin. #VanEck

Strategy Extends Cash Runway Securing Dividends Through 2027: Strategy has enhanced its balance sheet by increasing its dollar reserve to $2.2 billion and extends coverage for preferred stock dividend obligations by over two and half years and grants more flexibility into the next bitcoin market cycle. This broader reserve, bolstered by a $748 million stock sale, offers a more material liquidity cushion to support an estimated $824 million in annual dividend payments across multiple preferred share classes. This runway extends through 2026 and 2027 and into 2028 as the firm builds resilience during periods of market volatility or a potential bitcoin downturn. The stronger cash position also reduces refinancing risk associated with the company's $1 billion convertible note put option scheduled for September 2027. In the event that Strategy's share price remains below the $183 conversion level, the company has ample cash to meet the obligation. If the price exceeds that threshold, there would likely be a conversion into equity instead. In addition, Strategy's holding of over 670,000 BTC adds to its financial flexibility if required. In all, an improved dollar buffer enhances liquidity visibility, allows for the continuation of dividend payments, and better equips Strategy to handle both market cycles and milestones in its capital structure with increased certainty. #MicroStrategy
