On July 21, Riot Platforms rose 5.28% in regular trading, trading at $21.04/share, with turnover of $109 million. The rally came as Bitcoin reclaimed the $66,000 level, triggering a broad surge across crypto-related equities.
On the news front, Bitcoin's rebound above $66,000 drove a sector-wide rally, with Circle surging over 10%, Coinbase up over 9%, and Robinhood gaining over 6%. Riot Platforms further announced it had significantly increased its Bitcoin holdings, purchasing 5,117 BTC for approximately $510 million at an average price of around $99,669 per coin, bringing total holdings to 16,728 BTC. The announcement followed a similar large-scale purchase by MicroStrategy, signaling sustained institutional appetite for cryptocurrency exposure.
Additionally, Citi recently raised its target price for Riot Platforms to $28, while activist investor Starboard Value has been pushing the company to accelerate its transition toward AI data center operations, citing the strong potential of its Corsicana and Rockdale facilities for AI/HPC hosting.
