MSTR, COIN, RIOT and other crypto stocks down as Bitcoin dips

  • MicroStrategy stock was down 10% on Tuesday, while Coinbase and other crypto stocks also dumped.
  • Bitcoin price traded to lows of $60,600 before seeing a slight recovery.

MicroStrategy, Coinbase, Riot Platforms and Marathon Digital stocks are among crypto-related stocks seeing downside pressure amid Bitcoin’s price struggles.

MicroStrategy stock dumps 10%

Coinbase’s COIN was down 3% in early trading on Tuesday, hovering around $211.74 while MicroStrategy’s MSTR stock had dumped over 10% to $1,152. The share price of the Michael Saylor led company has declined more than 29% in the past 30 days.

Today’s double-digit dump for the MicroStrategy stock price comes a day after the company reported a net loss in Q1.

Despite the impairment loss, the BTC buying software intelligence firm reported adding more coins to its holdings. That includes the 122 BTC the company acquired for $7.8 million in April to bring its total haul to 214,400 BTC.

As BTC struggles, mining stocks see red

Bitcoin price has struggled since its recent halving and traded near $60k on Tuesday.

The declines came as spot ETF volumes fell, with Hong Kong’s debut of its spot BTC and spot ETH exchange-traded funds seeing volumes and assets that were much lower than anticipated in the days leading to their launch.
