Crypto stocks rally as bitcoin tops $86,000, sparking a major short squeeze and renewed investor interest.

Bitcoin surged above $86,000 for the first time in eight months, driving a rally in crypto-linked stocks like MicroStrategy, Coinbase, and Marathon Digital. This breakout triggered a $300 million short squeeze and shifted markets into a risk-on mode, supported by falling oil prices and easing inflation concerns. However, regulatory uncertainty remains due to the collapse of the Clarity Act, leaving the crypto sector facing potential conflicts between the SEC and CFTC. The move could reignite investor enthusiasm after a typical seasonal dip in August and September, entering a historically positive period for bitcoin.

As of Sep 22, 2026 00:22 WIB, MicroStrategy (MSTR) shares are up 8.21% at USD 166.55 on Pluang. Coinbase (COIN) also gained 3.98%, trading at USD 201.99, while Marathon Digital (MARA) rose 1.62% to USD 13.46. These price moves align with the recent bitcoin rally that pushed prices above $86,000, boosting crypto-linked stocks on the platform.
