Celsius-linked Bitcoin miner Ionic Digital gains 26% in Nasdaq debut
Markets
Published
Jul 29, 2026
The Bitcoin miner and AI infrastructure company closed at $62.90, giving it a market capitalization of about $2.8 billion after its direct listing.
Ionic Digital shares climbed about 26% from their opening price in their Nasdaq debut Tuesday after the Celsius-linked Bitcoin miner and AI infrastructure company completed its direct listing.
The shares opened at $50 and closed at $62.90, giving Ionic a market capitalization of about $2.8 billion based on approximately 44.9 million shares outstanding, according to its registration statement
filed
with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
Ionic was formed in 2024 to acquire Celsius Mining’s assets through the bankrupt crypto lender’s restructuring and has since expanded into AI and high-performance computing infrastructure.
IPO research firm Renaissance Capital
said
Ionic’s $2.4 billion implied market value at Nasdaq’s $53 reference price made it the largest US direct listing since 2021.
The stock pared some of its gains after the closing bell, falling 6.5% to $58.80 in after-hours trading, according to
Yahoo Finance
