BitMine, Strategy, SharpLink Stocks Roar Back As Treasury Firms Outperform Crypto
Strategy, BitMine, and SharpLink stocks surged as crypto treasury firms rebounded to outperform the broader crypto market.
Leading ETH treasury firm BitMine led the trio’s gains with a 19% surge yesterday, according to Google Finance.

That came after it announced yesterday the purchase of another 69,822 ETH tokens last week. It now holds 3% of the altcoin’s total supply, bringing it closer to its goal of 5%.
Meanwhile, Strategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, and SharpLink Gaming, the second-largest ETH treasury company, each recorded gains of over 5% yesterday.
DAT Firms Struggle To Recover From Crypto Selloff
Despite yesterday’s rebound, crypto treasury firms are still reeling from the steep crypto market selloff of recent weeks.
BitMine has plummeted 42% in the past month, Strategy 39% and SharpLink Gaming 28%. That’s squeezed the premiums that they used to have over their underlying assets with BitMine sitting on an unrealised loss of $3.8 billion, according to DropsTab.
Commenting on the slump, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan predicted in an X post on Nov. 23 that in future most treasury companies “will trade at a discount, and only a few exceptional firms will trade at a premium.”
“One challenge for DATs is that most of the reasons they should trade at a discount are certain and most of the reasons they might trade at a premium are uncertain,” he said, using the acronym for Digital Asset Treasury companies.
Solana And XRP Lead Crypto Majors In Latest Rebound
The uptick in share prices for SharpLink, BitMine, and Strategy coincided with a broader crypto market rebound, which saw the space’s market capitalization climb by over 1% in the past 24 hours.
Almost all of the top ten largest cryptos by market cap recorded 24-hour gains, CoinMarketCap data shows.
Solana (SOL) and XRP led gains among the top 10 cryptos, with XRP surging 7% after the launch of XRP ETFs by Franklin Templeton and Grayscale yesterday. SOL gained 5%.
Crypto market leaders Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) both rose over 1%.
