3 US Crypto Stocks Primed for a Surge in 2025

Wall Street’s love-hate affair with crypto plays heats up again—here’s who’s actually building something beyond the hype.

MicroStrategy: The Bitcoin Whale That Won’t Quit

Michael Saylor’s software-turned-BTC-hoarding vehicle just added another $1B to its stash. At this rate, their balance sheet will be 90% orange coin by 2026.

Coinbase: Regulators Hate Them, Traders Can’t Quit Them

Despite the SEC’s best efforts, America’s crypto on-ramp keeps printing cash—Q1 revenue smashed estimates as retail FOMO returned with a vengeance.

Marathon Digital: The Miner Playing With House Money

With Bitcoin halving rewards, this Texas-based operation turned energy arbitrage into a $300M war chest. Now they’re betting big on AI—because why not?

Let’s see how long until the next ’crypto winter’ sends these back to penny stock territory. (There’s your cynical jab—you’re welcome.)

Galaxy Digital (GLXY)

Galaxy Digital (GLXY) closed yesterday with a sharp 7.36% drop but is showing modest recovery in pre-market trading, up 1.5%. The company made its long-anticipated Nasdaq debut on May 16, opening at $23.50 per share.

CEO Mike Novogratz described the listing process as “unfair and infuriating,” marking the end of a years-long effort to enter U.S. markets.

Notably, Galaxy is already working with the SEC on tokenizing its shares, aiming to integrate them into DeFi applications. Despite the milestone, the timing coincided with the disclosure of a $295 million Q1 loss, adding pressure to investor sentiment.

Technically, GLXY is down 6.77% since its Nasdaq debut and is hovering NEAR key support levels. If bearish momentum persists, the stock could slide below $22, marking new all-time lows.

However, if the early pre-market strength continues and a broader rebound takes shape, GLXY may attempt to retest resistance at $22.24.

A decisive MOVE above this level could pave the way toward $23.61 and even $25, but the company will likely need a strong fundamental catalyst—such as progress on tokenization or regulatory clarity—to sustain an upward trajectory.

MARA Holdings (MARA)

MARA is up 27.88% over the past 30 days and has held above the $15 level since May 9, showing resilience despite short-term pullbacks. It closed yesterday down 0.80% and is down another 0.68% in pre-market trading.

Analyst sentiment remains cautiously bullish: Seven out of 17 analysts rate it a “Strong Buy,” nine suggest holding, and only one recommends a “Strong Sell.”

The average 12-month price target is $20.27, indicating a potential upside of 25.2% from current levels.

Financially, MARA reported Q1 2025 revenue of $213.9 million—an increase from $165.2 million the year prior—driven by a 77% jump in the average Bitcoin price. However, Bitcoin production declined due to the halving, and the company posted a net loss of $533.4 million, primarily due to end-of-quarter price volatility.

Despite this, MARA expanded its BTC holdings to 47,531, a 174% year-over-year increase. Technically, MARA maintains a bullish EMA structure, but the narrowing gap suggests caution. If momentum fades, the stock could test support at $15.25, with further downside risk to $14.47 or even $12.63.

A renewed uptrend could see it pushing toward resistance levels at $16.69, $17.30, and potentially $17.86.

Riot Platforms (RIOT)

Riot Platforms (RIOT) closed yesterday with a mild decline of 0.45% and is down another 1.23% in pre-market trading. The company recently announced a major financial move, doubling its credit line with Coinbase to $200 million.

According to CEO Jason Les, the expanded facility aims to enhance Riot’s financial flexibility, support strategic initiatives, and reduce capital costs.

Operating mining facilities in Texas and Kentucky, along with engineering hubs in Colorado, Riot is positioning itself as a vertically integrated bitcoin infrastructure platform.

Market sentiment around RIOT remains strongly bullish. Of 17 analysts covering the stock, 15 rate it a “Strong Buy,” with a one-year price target averaging $15.54—representing a potential upside of 74%.

From a technical perspective, RIOT faces resistance at $9.09; a breakout above this level could lead to gains toward $9.47.

Conversely, if the $8.82 support level breaks, the stock may fall to $8.40 or even $8.05, especially if selling pressure intensifies.
