U.S. crypto company shares rose in pre-market trading as Bitcoin surpassed $75,000 following Donald Trump's electoral victory. MicroStrategy's shares increased by 12%, nearing $255, reflecting a 280% rise this year. Coinbase and Riot Platforms also gained 12%, while Marathon Digital Holdings and IREN rose by 11% and 12%, respectively. Metaplanet's shares surged 24%, with a year-to-date increase of over 1,100%.
