Canaan Inc. (CAN), a leading provider of high-performance computing solutions and Bitcoin mining equipment, saw its stock soar by 5.25% in the pre-market trading session on Thursday.
This surge in Canaan's stock price can be attributed to the overall positive sentiment surrounding the cryptocurrency market, particularly the recent rise in Bitcoin's value above the $98,000 mark.
As the demand for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies continues to grow, investors are flocking to crypto-related stocks, including Canaan, which specializes in manufacturing and selling highly efficient Bitcoin mining rigs. Several other crypto-focused companies, such as CleanSpark, Riot Platforms, MARA Holdings, Coinbase, and Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), also experienced significant gains in premarket trading, reflecting the bullish sentiment in the industry.
