Pre-market spikes follow news of strategic stock-for-stock transaction.
The bitcoin miner held over 10,000 bitcoin at the end of last year.
The broker upgraded the bitcoin miner’s shares to buy from sell and raised its price target on the stock to $13.50 from $7.50.
The funding came from Coatue Management, which is also an investor in CoreWeave, a cloud-computing firm looking to take over miner Core Scientific.
The broker cut its price target to $14 from $17.50 while maintaining its buy rating.
Former CEO Jamie Leverton is succeeded by president Asher Genoot.
The first $15 million will be drawn shortly after closing the deal, while another $15 million is conditional on closing a merger with peer USBTC.
