Oracle TikTok deal lifts AI mining stocks as bitcoin tags $88,000

• Oracle shares climbed about 6% to around $190 Friday's pre market trading.
• TikTok agreed to form a U.S. joint venture led by American investors, reinforcing Oracle’s role as a core AI cloud and data security provider easing AI concerns.
• The deal helped improve broader risk sentiment with bitcoin back above $88,000, also lifting AI mining stocks in the process.

Oracle (ORCL) shares jumped more than 6% in pre-market trading to around $190 after Bloomberg reported that TikTok signed binding agreements to form a new U.S. joint venture led by Oracle, helping ease investor concerns around AI-driven valuation risks.

The upbeat reaction spread across risk assets. Bitcoin BTC$88,223.33 jumped above $88,000, Invesco QQQ (QQQ) futures, which tracks the performance of the Nasdaq-100, rose around 0.5%, while AI mining stocks also moved higher. IREN (IREN) gained about 4%, Cipher Mining (CIFR) rose roughly 4% and CoreWeave (CRWV) climbed around 6%.

Oracle will play a central role as the primary cloud infrastructure and data security provider, overseeing where TikTok’s AI recommendation systems are retrained and operated on U.S.-based data.

Markets are treating the agreement as validation that Oracle’s AI exposure is tied to real, large scale workloads.

This matters because AI hyperscalers such as Oracle and CoreWeave have come under pressure in recent weeks, with share prices hit by fears around the sustainability of massive AI infrastructure spending and facing doubts over heavy debt-financed data center buildouts, delayed projects, and partnerships.

Markets attention now turns to personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index data for the U.S. after a macro heavy week that included U.S. inflation data, jobs figures and a BOJ rate hike.
