 The Bitcoin (BTC) price surge on Monday has now catapulted Bitcoin-related stocks to surge to new highs with the likes of Coinbase and Microstrategy posting new multi-week highs.
 Bitcoin mining stocks saw significant gains amid the BTC price momentum with the likes of United States-listed Riot Blockchain recording an 11.69% surge followed by Marathon Digital Holdings at a 14.6% increase. Another factor that played a key role in the mining stocks surge is the upcoming halving event that will cut the Bitcoin mining reward from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC per block.
