Earnings season gathers steam, U.S. jobs: Crypto Week Ahead

Crypto company earnings season ramps up with reports due from Strategy (MSTR), which holds the largest number of bitcoin BTC$78,432.01 among publicly listed companies, and Galaxy Digital (GLXY), a digital assets and infrastructure investor. Bullish (BLSH), which owns Bullish Exchange and CoinDesk, is also due to release figures.

While interest-rates decisions are due in Europe, with both the Bank of England and European Central Bank making announcements on Thursday, the macroeconomic environment will be focused on Friday’s U.S. employment situation summary for January, including the key nonfarm payrolls figure.
