Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:RIOT) (TSXV:BITF) (TSXV:DMGI)

Bitcoin (BTC) was briefly trading for $11,600 yesterday following a spike responding to the United States Federal Reserve’s inflation policy. Cointelegraph reports that Fed Chair Jerome Powell, in a speech on Thursday, indicated “that inflation would be permitted to head higher than the Fed’s 2% target.”

“Following periods when inflation has been running below 2 percent, appropriate monetary policy will likely aim to achieve inflation moderately above 2 percent for some time.”
