Cantor Equity Soars 12.63% on Bitcoin Merger Hopes

On May 7, 2025, Cantor Equity surged 12.63% in pre-market trading, marking a significant rise in its stock price.

Metaplanet, a Japanese company, recently purchased an additional 555 Bitcoin, increasing its total holdings to 5,555 Bitcoin. This move is part of Metaplanet's broader strategy to convert capital into Bitcoin amid growing global macro uncertainty. The purchase coincides with China and the U.S. resuming trade talks, which could have implications for global markets and investor sentiment.

Cantor Equity's stock surge is also influenced by its affiliation with a Bitcoin company, which is planning a merger. This merger is expected to be valued at $3.9 billion, indicating a strong interest in the cryptocurrency sector and potentially driving investor confidence in Cantor Equity's future prospects.
