Crypto stocks BMNR, CRCL, and MSTR recorded notable surges last week due to price swings across the crypto market. Those moves pushed trading activity higher. Meanwhile, several developments in the crypto market this week may influence whether these crypto stocks extend gains or pull back.
BMNR One of Crypto Stocks to Watch
Bitmine’s stock, BMNR, is among the top stocks to watch this week. At press time, BMNR traded at $20.65 in after-hours activity, gaining 0.54%, or $0.11. Friday’s close was at $20.55. The day range is between $20.49 and $22.76. Meanwhile, the stock holds a wide yearly range between $3.20 and $161.00, with average trading volume reaching 44.38 million shares.

Yesterday’s Ethereum purchase may have boosted the crypto stock, hence the slight uptick. Bitmine acquired 5,000 ETH from the Ethereum Foundation through an over-the-counter transaction. The deal priced each ETH at $2,042.96, bringing the transaction value to about $10.38 million.
This move connects directly with the firm’s weekly pattern of increasing its ETH reserves. Every week’s market opening often brings additional Ethereum purchases from the company. Because of that activity, BMNR remains one of the crypto stocks traders monitor closely when the market opens. Those transactions often coincide with renewed trading interest.
CRCL Stock
Circle’s CRCL is also among the top crypto stocks to watch this week. Circle operates the USDC stablecoin, which recently captured 64% of stablecoin transaction volume. That figure pushed USDC ahead of Tether in transaction share for the first time in nearly a decade.
CRCL stock also recorded strong short-term performance during the same period. The shares surged 9.90% over the past five days. As per Yahoo Finance, the stock also gained by 87.24% over the past month. However, after-hours trading showed a slight decline.

CRCL fell by 0.42%, or $0.48, to trade at $114.90 after hours. The stock closed on Friday at $114.18. Trading data shows a daily range between $113.16 and $119.30. The yearly range runs from $49.90 to $298.99. Average trading volume stands at 18.10 million shares.
Because CRCL closely links to stablecoin usage, activity in USDC transactions often influences attention toward the stock.
MSTR Stock
Strategy’s MSTR also ranks among crypto stocks drawing focus ahead of the new trading week. The company operates as a Bitcoin treasury firm, meaning its balance sheet holds large Bitcoin reserves.
Due to this, MSTR frequently moves alongside Bitcoin price trends. Bitcoin may attract additional attention next week amid rising tensions between the United States and Iran. Meanwhile, Strategy may announce another Bitcoin purchase.
This is because, as CoinGape reported, Saylor hinted at another Strategy Bitcoin acquisition through a message referencing “Stretch the Orange Dots.” Such posts previously preceded Bitcoin purchases.
At the time of writing, MSTR was trading at $138.40 during after-hours activity. The stock closed on Friday at $137.34. Market data shows a daily range between $138.44 and $147.26.

The yearly range spans from $104.17 to $457.22. Average trading volume for the stock is at 24.52 million shares. Over the past month, MSTR gained 8.55%, while shorter-term gains reached 2.44%.
