# MSTR Soars 16% as Bitcoin Tops $77K; Qualcomm Slides Nearly 6%, Weighing on Chips

U.S. equities closed modestly lower on Friday, with the Dow slipping **0.4%**, the S&P 500 down **0.2%**, and the Nasdaq edging **0.1%** lower. Treasury yields climbed, with the 10-year yield touching **5%**, as markets remained cautious following the Federal Reserve's rate hike. WTI crude fell **1.1%** to **$100.84** per barrel.

Bitcoin surged past the **$77,000** mark, fueling a broad rally across cryptocurrency-linked stocks. **Strategy (MSTR.US)** skyrocketed **16.39%** on volume exceeding 53 million shares; **Robinhood (HOOD.US)** jumped **9.12%** as optimism grew around its crypto business. **Coreweave (CRWV.US)** added **1.85%**, **IREN** gained **7.36%**, and **Cipher Digital (CIFR.US)** climbed **8.26%**.

The chip sector saw a mixed performance. **Qualcomm (QCOM.US)** tumbled **5.82%** on heavy volume of over 54 million shares; **Super Micro Computer (SMCI.US)** fell **3.12%**; while **Broadcom (AVGO.US)** bucked the trend, rising **2.97%**.

In macro developments, Fed Chair Warsh characterized the rate hike as removing "modest support," a remark widely interpreted as a hawkish signal. Berkshire Hathaway named Warren Buffett honorary chairman, with his son Howard succeeding as board chair. A UBS report flagged "weak" initial wait times for the iPhone 18 Pro, potentially impacted by the upcoming foldable iPhone Duo.
