Cypherpunk (CYPH), a company recently rebranded and backed by the Winkelvoss twins, saw its shares rise sharply on Friday after its primary digital asset, Zcash (ZEC), posted significant gains. CYPH shares increased by as much as 97% during intraday trading, reaching a high of $3.55 before stabilizing near $3.15. This surge occurred even as the wider cryptocurrency market experienced a decline.
Earlier in the week, Cypherpunk announced a major shift in its business model. The company transitioned to a digital asset treasury structure, naming Zcash as its main holding. Cypherpunk reported that it invested $50 million from a recent private placement to purchase 203,775 ZEC at an average price of $245 per token. Currently, ZEC trades at about $573 per token, more than double the acquisition price, after climbing 16% in the last 24 hours.
While Zcash outperformed, the broader cryptocurrency market declined by nearly 2% over the past day, reaching a market capitalization of around $3.37 trillion. In comparison, Bitcoin, which is considered the original digital asset treasury, dropped by over 3.6%, trading at approximately $96,900 after hitting an intraday low of $95,200.
Investor sentiment for CYPH shares was reported as “extremely bullish” with high trading activity on retail platforms. Cypherpunk‘s strategic digital asset purchases and the sharp appreciation of ZEC have contributed to the company’s recent market momentum, as data shows.
