Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) stock and Bitmine Immersion Technologies (NYSE:BMNR) shares are both surging 6% Monday morning. The catalyst is a broad crypto market rebound, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) rising 3% in 24 hours to nearly $70,000.

The bounce is a welcome relief for investors who have endured a rough stretch. Strategy shares were down 21.14% year-to-date heading into today, while Bitmine Immersion Technologies stock had shed 28.36% year-to-date as of last Thursday’s close. Today’s move doesn’t erase those losses, but it signals renewed appetite for crypto treasury plays.
Strategy holds 713,502 BTC on its balance sheet as of February 1, making it the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder. That treasury is both the company’s greatest asset and the primary driver of its stock price volatility.
Strategy’s FY2025 BTC Yield came in at 22.8%, a metric the company uses to track Bitcoin accumulation relative to its share count. The company raised $25.3 billion in capital during FY2025, making it the largest U.S. equity issuer for two consecutive years. That aggressive accumulation strategy means every meaningful Bitcoin price move gets amplified in the stock.
The prediction markets are pricing in continued accumulation. According to Polymarket data, there’s a 95% probability that Strategy announces a Bitcoin purchase between April 7 and April 13, with a 79.5% probability that purchase exceeds 1,000 BTC. Crowds also assign a 95.4% probability that Strategy holds 800,000 or more BTC by December 31.
Furthermore, analysts remain broadly constructive on MSTR stock. The consensus analyst price target sits at $374.07, with 13 buy ratings and just one hold.

Bitmine Immersion Technologies is taking a page directly from Strategy’s playbook, but with Ethereum as the reserve asset. The company claims the largest ETH treasury in the world and has set an ambitious goal to acquire 5% of all ETH in existence.
Ethereum has gained 37% over the past year, a notably stronger one-year trajectory than Bitcoin’s -11% over the same stretch. That divergence has helped Bitmine Immersion Technologies build a compelling narrative around Ethereum as a differentiated treasury asset.
The company’s fundamentals tell an interesting story. Bitmine reported FY2025 net income of $328.16 million against a prior-year net loss of $3.29 million, with EPS of $13.39 versus an estimate of -$0.10. Revenue came in at approximately $6.1 million for the full year. Moreover, the company also became the first large-cap crypto firm to declare an annual dividend, at $0.01 per share.
High-profile backers have added credibility to the Ethereum treasury thesis. ARK Invest, Founders Fund, Pantera, Kraken, DCG, and Galaxy Digital are all listed as backers. Analysts covering BMNR stock carry a price target of $36, implying meaningful upside from current levels, though that target carries low confidence given the stock’s early trading history.
Today’s gains are encouraging for investors in both names, but context matters. Strategy stock is still down 16% year-to-date. Meanwhile, Bitmine Immersion Technologies carries over $4 billion in unrealized losses on its ETH holdings following the price decline since August. Both stocks remain highly sensitive to crypto price swings in either direction.
Watch for whether today’s momentum holds through the close. Any continuation in Bitcoin and Ethereum prices this week would likely keep both stocks active. Additionally, a potential Strategy Bitcoin purchase announcement in the April 7 to April 13 window, which the prediction markets strongly anticipate, could serve as the next meaningful catalyst for MSTR shares.
Most investors spend years learning how to pick good stocks and funds. Far fewer have a clear plan for turning those investments into a reliable retirement paycheck. The truth is, the transition from “building wealth” to “living on wealth” is one of the most overlooked risks facing successful investors in their 50s, 60s and 70s.
