Bitcoin Mining Stocks Are Surging Monday: What's Driving The Action?
Mar 3, 2025 6:59 AM

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) mining stocks are surging Monday morning alongside the price of Bitcoin and other popular cryptocurrencies after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a strategic crypto reserve.

What Happened: On Sunday, Trump announced plans to create a strategic crypto reserve that would include Bitcoin, Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) and other popular cryptos like XRP, Solana and Cardano.

"A U.S. Crypto Reserve will elevate this critical industry after years of corrupt attacks by the Biden Administration, which is why my Executive Order on Digital Assets directed the Presidential Working Group to move forward on a Crypto Strategic Reserve that includes XRP, SOL, and ADA. I will make sure the U.S. is the Crypto Capital of the World,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

“And, obviously, BTC and ETH, as other valuable Cryptocurrencies, will be the heart of the Reserve. I also love Bitcoin and Ethereum!”

The crypto market surged following the announcement. Bitcoin climbed more than 10% off three month-lows reached on Friday and several crypto-related stocks are moving higher Monday morning.
