Trump Crypto Summit Lifts Bitcoin, Circle Shares Rise in After-Hours Trading

Circle Internet Group Inc. shares were a market hotspot on Thursday.

The New York-based fintech company's stock jumped 2.37% to $80.45 in after-hours trading on Wednesday.

During the regular trading session, CRCL rose 9.56% to $78.59.

The stock gains came amid a broad rally in cryptocurrency-related equities, driven by falling Treasury yields and optimism over President Trump's upcoming White House meeting with crypto industry executives.

Treasury Buybacks Push Yields Lower

The U.S. Treasury is expanding its bond buyback program, raising the minimum purchase of long-dated bonds to $4 billion starting in September.

This shift pushed the 30-year yield down to approximately 5.2%, with the 10-year yield falling to 4.65%.

Bitcoin surged nearly 8% on Wednesday, touching $70,000, its highest level since early June, as part of the same rally that lifted crypto-related stocks including Circle.

Trump Crypto Summit Boosts Sentiment

Trump's planned White House meeting has raised expectations for legislative clarity through the CLARITY Act.

At the summit, Trump urged Congress to pass the CLARITY Act, calling it structured legislation that would keep the U.S. ahead of China in the competition.

Circle issues USDC, one of the largest dollar-pegged stablecoins, making the company's performance closely tied to overall cryptocurrency market activity and regulatory sentiment. Because its business is built on crypto infrastructure, Circle stock is directly benefiting from renewed momentum across the industry.
