Crypto Stocks To Watch As Bitcoin And Altcoins Record Relief Rally

Key Insights:

  • MSTR crypto stock rebounded on the daily chart and pre-market trading as Bitcoin jumped from around $60,000 to $65,000.
  • COIN surged to $162.03, fueled by renewed confidence in the stock from institutions like Ark Invest.
  • BMNR stock showed rebound signals, fueled by Ethereum recovery and the broader altcoin market.

Crypto stocks showed signs of recovery as the market opened on Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2026. Bitcoin (BTC) and other top altcoins traded in the green, raising optimism among crypto stock investors.

As crypto market sentiment improves, Strategy (MSTR), Coinbase Global (COIN), and Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) stand out as key stocks to watch.

Crypto Stock Outlook: MSTR and Its Interplay With Bitcoin

Recent data from Google Finance revealed MSTR has jumped back to the green zone, trading at $129.49. Over the previous day, MSTR increased by 0.73 and surged more than 2% in pre-market trading and 3.91% in early trading.

The stock day range is now between $118.40 – $126.74, with a market capitalization of $39.72 billion.

The daily price spike in MSTR comes alongside the latest momentum in the Bitcoin market. Bitcoin staged a relief rally today, rebounding 3.4% intraday to the $65,326 zone after dipping near $60,000 amid volatility.

Positive movements in BTC usually lead to rallies in MSTR, due to Strategy’s Bitcoin development under Chairman Michael Saylor.

Strategy remains the largest Bitcoin corporate holder, with more than 700,000 in its reserve. The company strategically buys more Bitcoin almost every week, making its balance sheet about 99% BTC by value.

In its latest purchase, Strategy added $90 million worth of BTC to its holdings. The company bought 1,142 BTC at an average price of roughly $78,800. Investors are now expecting the MSTR stock to climb higher as sentiment in the Bitcoin market continues to improve.

COIN Stock Jump in Pre-market

COIN is another crypto stock to watch, considering Coinbase’s strong crypto market activity. Coinbase earns the bulk of revenue from trading fees, which explode during rallies. In addition to fees, the exchange also benefits from custody, staking, derivatives, and stablecoin interest.

Following the recent crypto market rally, the COIN stock jumped from its earlier lows. At press time, COIN is priced at $170.52, up 5.24% over the previous day.

The stock also rallied more than 1.9% in pre-market trade, while average volume stood at 12.71 million.

Unlike traditional stocks, COIN participates in the entire crypto ecosystem.  As such, when BTC and altcoins bounce together, trading volumes spike across the board. This directly lifts earnings outlook and multiples across timeframes.

Moreover, analysts and even some top institutional players have expressed confidence in COIN’s future price trajectory. For instance, ARK Invest re-entered Coinbase by purchasing $6.9 million worth of COIN shares after a recent sell-off.

BMNR Crypto Stock and Ethereum Pivot

Similar to MSTR and COIN, the BMNR crypto stock also showed rebound potential. Currently, BMNR hovers around $19.44, up 1.2% and 3.6% over the past 24 hours and pre-market, respectively.

The BMNR stock moves aligned with a broader move in the altcoin market. Ethereum (ETH), the top market altcoin, led the rally with a 5.4% bounce, driven by whale accumulation and positive macro signals.

This short-term relief move after oversold conditions quickly triggers outsized reactions in crypto-tied equities like BMNR.

Notably, Bitmine pivoted from mining to becoming the world’s leading Ethereum treasury company. It recently announced holdings of 4.3 million ETH, after adding 45,759 ETH coins to its stash. The company purchased the coins during a market downturn.

At the time, Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee described the dip as “attractive” from an Ethereum fundamentals perspective. Lee explained that the usefulness of Ethereum outweighs its current price.

Overall, the BMNR relief rally highlights Bitmine’s role as an institutional-grade ETH proxy. In previous moves, BMNR led crypto stock gains, standing out for its treasury scale.
