Why Bitcoin-Related And Ethereum-Related Stocks Are Dropping Today

Cryptocurrency-related stocks, including Marathon Digital Holdings Inc MARA, Riot Blockchain Inc RIOT and Bit Digital Inc BTBT, are trading lower amid a decrease in the price of Bitcoin BTC/USD and Ethereum ETH/USD.

Weakness in crypto stocks may also be in sympathy with overall markets amid a rise in bond yields, which has weighed on growth sectors such as technology.

Marathon Digital is focused on mining digital assets. It owns crypto-currency mining machines and a data center to mine the digital assets.

Riot Blockchain is focused on building, supporting and operating blockchain technologies.

Bit Digital is engaged in the Bitcoin mining business. Its mining platform operates with the primary intent of accumulating Bitcoin, which the company may sell from time to time to fund its operating expenses.
