Fifteen minutes after the U.S. stock market opened, crypto-related stocks are no longer just tracking $BTC —they’ve been split into two separate groups.

Current price vs. prior close: $BTC +1.02%, spot ETF IBIT +1.08%, almost exactly in line; MicroStrategy $MSTR +1.44% (about +0.4 percentage points versus BTC outperformance). On the other side, exchanges and miners are broadly trading at a discount: $COIN -0.68% (about -1.7 percentage points versus outperformance), MARA -1.63%, RIOT -1.80% (roughly -2.7 to -2.8 percentage points versus outperformance). MSTR versus MARA’s intraday spread has already widened to about 3.1 percentage points.

What’s even more interesting is that it’s the opposite of yesterday: when BTC was green yesterday, miners led and MSTR underperformed; today it’s become MSTR/IBIT tracking the coin closely, while miners and COIN get hit in the cash market. This suggests the market is assigning three different pricing models—coin-holding companies, the spot ETF access channel, and the compute/publishing of transaction-fee business. The single beta basket for the whole set no longer works.

On the PCE day, the 10-year Treasury yield fell to around 5.24, and the index is relatively stable (QQQ about +0.6%), but this kind of structural divergence explains more about how funds are selecting targets than index up/down moves. Are you still going to treat miners and MSTR as the same BTC beta basket?
