As the stock market hits new highs, equities in cryptocurrency mining and data center infrastructure are emerging as some of 2025’s biggest winners. Leading the pack, IREN Ltd (NASDAQ: IREN) has surged more than 540% year-to-date, followed by Cipher Mining (NASDAQ: CIFR) up 345%, Applied Digital (NASDAQ: APLD) up 338%, and Nebius (NASDAQ: NBIS) up 323%.  CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV), which is part of Nvidia’s (NASDAQ: NVDA) portfolio, has climbed 231%, Bitfarms 209%, and TeraWulf (NASDAQ: WULF) 142%.
