Crypto stock selloff: MicroStrategy shares plunge 17% as Coinbase, Marathon and Riot also fall

While fellow U.S. crypto stocks like Coinbase, the nation's top exchange, and miners Marathon Digital and Riot Platforms didn't face as large of a selloff, all three companies' shares were also down in midday trading. Coinbase sank as low as 6% while Marathon Digital and Riot Platforms dropped 9% and 7%, respectively.

Shares in the aforementioned miners have seesawed most of this year while both Coinbase and MicroStrategy have largely been enjoying an upward price increase amid bitcoin hitting a new all-time high.

Following Monday's market close, MicroStrategy reported first-quarter revenue of $115.2 million, which was a 5% decrease year-over-year. The company's shares, which act as a bitcoin proxy given MicroStrategy's main tactic for creating long-term value is by accumulating the cryptocurrency, dropped in after hours trading.
