It’s Steve Cohen’s hedge fund versus an activist short-seller in the stock market today. And so far, Cohen is winning.
Bitcoin mining company TeraWulf Inc. rallied as much as 18% on Thursday after Cohen’s Point72 Asset Management disclosed a 1.3% stake in the company in its second-quarter report to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The shares maintained most of those gains following a report published by Grizzly Research that accused the miner of enriching insiders at the expense of investors.
