Top 3 US-Based Cryptocurrency Stocks to Monitor in April 2025
As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, investors are keeping a close eye on US-listed stocks with significant exposure to digital assets. This analysis highlights three key publicly traded companies that are strategically positioned in the blockchain and crypto sector. These stocks represent diverse segments of the industry, from mining operations to financial services integrating digital assets. With regulatory clarity improving and institutional adoption growing, these equities may offer investors a regulated avenue to participate in crypto market movements while benefiting from traditional market safeguards. Current market conditions suggest these stocks could demonstrate notable volatility and potential growth opportunities as the 2025 crypto bull market develops.
Core Scientific (CORZ)
Core Scientific (CORZ) is down -0.84% in pre-market trading, continuing its recent underperformance. Despite broader strength across crypto-related equities, the stock has struggled to attract buyers.
The company operates one of the largest Bitcoin mining businesses in North America. It provides infrastructure, hosting, and self-mining services through its network of data centers.
CORZ is down nearly 50% year-to-date, making it one of the worst performers among crypto stocks. In contrast, peers like Marathon Digital (MARA) and Coinbase (COIN) have held up much better.
While others benefit from diversification or stronger narratives, CORE Scientific remains tied to mining economics—an area hit by rising costs and thinning margins, but that it could have a rebound as BTC rebuilds momentum.
Strategy (MSTR)
MicroStrategy (MSTR) closed yesterday up 3.82%, pushing its year-to-date return to 7.54%. The stock has shown strong momentum alongside Bitcoin’s recent price recovery, with MSTR price up 16% in the last 5 days.
The company, led by Michael Saylor, is best known for its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy. While it originally focused on enterprise software, it has since become heavily tied to BTC’s performance.
Strategy recently purchased an additional $285 million worth of Bitcoin, adding 3,459 BTC to its balance sheet. This brings its total holdings to 531,644 BTC.
The move reinforces the firm’s position as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, effectively turning it into a Leveraged BTC play for investors.
Coinbase (COIN)
Coinbase (COIN) is trading up +0.88% in the pre-market, showing signs of continued short-term strength. The move comes ahead of a key earnings update.
The company operates one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the US, offering trading, custody, and staking services. Coinbase is set to report its Q1 2025 earnings on May 8, which could be a major catalyst for the stock.
COIN is up 12% over the last five days, attempting to rebound after falling nearly 29% year-to-date.
