Bitfarms Ltd. (BITF) stock surged 5.07% in the pre-market trading session on Thursday, following the lead of Bitcoin which climbed closer to the historic $100,000 level amid growing optimism over President-elect Donald Trump's supportive policies towards cryptocurrencies.
The crypto market as a whole has gained approximately $900 billion since Trump's election win on November 5th. The president-elect's transition team has begun discussions to create a White House post dedicated to digital asset policy, reflecting his intention to establish a friendly regulatory framework for the crypto industry.
Speculators are increasingly focused on when, rather than if, Bitcoin will breach the symbolic $100,000 mark as a rebuttal to skeptics who question the utility of cryptocurrencies. MicroStrategy, the largest publicly traded corporate holder of Bitcoin, announced plans to raise $2.6 billion to fund further purchases of the token, while a group of US Bitcoin ETFs saw a net inflow of $5.8 billion following the election.
