CleanSpark (CLSK), a company focused on Bitcoin mining and energy technologies, saw its stock soar 5.08% in the pre-market trading session on Friday. This surge can be attributed to the broader rally in the cryptocurrency market and renewed optimism for the sector.
As the new year kicked off, leading cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum witnessed a bullish rally, with traders anticipating a "golden crypto era" under the incoming Donald Trump administration. Bitcoin surged close to $100,000, while Ethereum approached $3,500, fueling optimism among investors.
Furthermore, crypto-dependent stocks such as Canaan Inc. (CAN), Bit Digital (BTBT), Coinbase (COIN), and MicroStrategy (MSTR) also saw significant gains, reflecting the positive sentiment surrounding the crypto industry. This broader market enthusiasm appears to have spilled over to CleanSpark, driving its stock price higher in the pre-market session.
