Bitcoin (BTC-USD) reached a record high on Monday, trading just under $85,000 on Monday morning while pushing several stocks tied to the crypto trade and the post-election rally higher to start the week in the aftermath of the Trump victory.
Coinbase stock and shares of other crypto-related companies were rising Monday as investors turned bullish. Coinbase (COIN) was up more than 17% on Monday and has now skyrocketed about 70% in the past five trading sessions.
Similarly, Robinhood (HOOD) also saw its stock rise more than 8% Monday and is now up more than 38% across five days. Notably, Robinhood’s legal chief Dan Gallagher is among the top names being considered for the position of SEC Chair under Trump.
Trump’s promises to the industry includes appointing a crypto Presidential Advisory Council, firing SEC Chair Gary Gensler, and creating a strategic national bitcoin stockpile.
Notably, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), the largest bitcoin ETF, rose nearly 11% in early trade Monday. Shares of MicroStrategy (MSTR), which now owns nearly 280,000 bitcoins, also rose more than 18% on Monday.

It has achieved BTC Yield of 7.3% QTD, with a net benefit to shareholders of 18,410 BTC, and 26.4% YTD
Tesla (TSLA) shares have also soared since Trump’s election win. While the company also owns some bitcoin, its 45% surge over the past five days and a 10% push higher on Monday has been attributed to Elon Musk’s connection with Trump. Notably, Musk donated $132 million to Trump’s campaign.
Bitcoin miners also rallied, adding to their gains last week. Bitcoin mining stocks are showing impressive pre-market gains as investor interest surges. Marathon Digital (MARA), CleanSpark (CLSK), and Riot Platforms (RIOT) are all riding the wave of positive momentum. Bit Digital (BTBT) soared 22.6%, MARA Holdings (MARA) popped 21% early Monday.
Amidst the market rally, Bernstein have urged investors to add exposure to the crypto industry as soon as possible. Notably, the analyst have urged the investors who had abstained from allocating to the crypto industry due to regulatory concerns to “invert their mental model” post-U.S. elections, in expectations of a crypto-friendly regulatory environment under Trump starting with a new SEC Chair.
They also revealed that they remain confident in their $200,000 bitcoin price target by the end of 2025. Greg Cipolaro, the global head of research at New York Digital Investment Group, also stated that there is no longer any excuse for investors to avoid exposure to bitcoin following Trump’s victory.
