If You Had Invested $1000 In Coinbase, Marathon Digital Stocks When Bitcoin Reached $42K, Here's Which Investment Would Have Offered Better Returns

Bitcoin ascended to over $44,000, marking a new high for the year amid growing speculation that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may soon approve the introduction of Bitcoin BTC/USD focused Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). 

What Happened: This anticipation has particularly favored Coinbase COIN, whose shares have escalated by nearly 62% in the past month alone. COIN was down 0.63% during the Tuesday trading session.

This surge in the value of Bitcoin also directly benefits crypto mining companies. Marathon Digital MARA observed an increase of nearly 2.83% on Tuesday.

When BTC breached $40,000, COIN shot from $133.76 to $141.09, translating to a 5.48% lift. In contrast, MARA climbed from $13.7 to $14.86, indicating a slightly higher increase of 8.47%. 

This analysis is based on data from December 1 to December 4.
