Just For You 3 Ways to Test the Crypto Market Without Owning BitcoinWritten by Chris Markoch. Published 9/29/2025. 
Key Points - Coinbase offers regulated crypto exposure as the largest U.S. exchange.
- Bit Digital pivots from Bitcoin mining to Ethereum staking and AI hosting.
- TeraWulf blends zero-carbon Bitcoin mining with growing AI infrastructure.
Cryptocurrency has gone mainstream. Once dismissed as the domain of the speculative fringe, it's now an asset class provoking FOMO (fear of missing out) among many conservative investors. There's a reason for the buzz. As of this writing, Bitcoin trades for over $111,000 per "coin." It's not a physical currency, of course, but that's how investors gauge an asset that has more than doubled since its 2021 peak. However, owning Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies—such as Ethereum or Cardano—carries its own risks: extreme volatility, custody concerns and technical barriers to direct ownership. Many of these challenges also apply to precious metals, another popular alternative asset class. The good news: you can gain regulated, market-tested exposure to cryptocurrency through related equities. Similar to a gold ETF or a mining stock, these investments let you participate in crypto's growth without directly owning coins. A Pure Play on Crypto Adoption Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ: COIN) is the largest regulated U.S. cryptocurrency exchange. COIN stock is up 26% in 2025 and has climbed 88% over the past 12 months, benefiting from strong rallies in Bitcoin and, more recently, Ethereum. It remains one of the clearest avenues for investors seeking exposure to broader crypto adoption. Much of Coinbase's revenue now comes from "altcoins"—cryptocurrencies excluding Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple and Solana. These smaller tokens account for roughly 41% of the company's trading fees, thanks to the wider spreads they command. Short-term risks include a potential drop in altcoin trading as investors rotate back into major digital assets or equities. Coinbase also faces stiff competition from platforms such as Robinhood, Kraken and Gemini. Analysts maintain a consensus Hold rating on COIN, which trades about 13% below its average price target. Mining, Staking, and AI Data Centers Bit Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: BTBT) is a digital-asset mining company that provides indirect cryptocurrency exposure without the need to custody coins directly. While Bit Digital has historically focused on Bitcoin mining, it is now pivoting toward Ethereum staking to tap into Ethereum's programmability and growth potential. The company is also leveraging its existing Bitcoin-mining infrastructure to serve the high-performance computing (HPC) market, offering colocation, hosting and cloud-based GPU solutions. This expansion positions Bit Digital within the broader tech sector, in addition to its financial services roots. To finance these initiatives, Bit Digital is asking shareholders to approve an increase in authorized share capital, which could lead to near-term dilution. Analysts are optimistic about the strategic shift, assigning a consensus Buy rating and a $6.33 price target—over 100% above its current level. Investors should note that Bit Digital is not yet profitable; however, BTBT shares have surged about 27% in the past three months, coinciding with Ethereum's rally. Zero-Carbon Mining Meets AI Infrastructure TeraWulf Inc. (NASDAQ: WULF) is another notable name in crypto mining that is also expanding into AI infrastructure. Unlike many peers, TeraWulf operates zero-carbon facilities, emphasizing sustainable power generation for its data centers. As of September 2025, TeraWulf generates roughly twice the annual revenue of Bit Digital, although it remains unprofitable—a reflection of the capital-intensive nature of the sector. Profitability is projected for 2026, driven by growing demand for data-center services. WULF stock has rallied about 98% in 2025 and currently trades near analysts' consensus price target and its 52-week high. The shares carry 39% short interest—up 17% over the last month—partly due to the company's plans to issue additional shares. These near-term headwinds make WULF a stock to watch, but analysts remain bullish: 12 have issued Buy ratings on the name.
