A 12.76% slide to $18.18 from a $20.84 open takes roughly $1 billion off a $7.4 billion market cap in one session. Moves this size are where the bitcoin-miner-turned-AI-infrastructure trade gets repriced, so keep an eye on whether the stock stabilizes near these levels.
The stock slid through the first half of the session from an open of $20.84, bottoming intraday before clawing back part of the loss into the close.
A decline of that size erased close to $1 billion in market value in a single regular session, enough to reset the conversation around the stock's near-term valuation.

The company sits at the intersection of two of the market's most closely watched trades: bitcoin mining and AI infrastructure. Both carry premium valuations built on growth expectations, which leaves them exposed to sharp repricing when sentiment shifts, even without a fundamental catalyst.
The partial recovery off the intraday low shows buyers stepped in at lower levels, though the stock still finished well below its open. Whether that late stabilization holds is the key question for investors watching this name.
