Fact Check
The claim’s central facts are directly supported by the BlockBeats flash “美股标普500、纳指创收盘新高，加密股迎来普涨行情，MSTR大涨9.39% - BlockBeats,” which explicitly says the S&P 500 and Nasdaq set new closing highs and gives Circle at +8.69% and Strategy at +9.39%. The earlier BlockBeats flash “纳指涨幅扩大，刷新盘中历史新高 - BlockBeats” adds that the Nasdaq had already set a fresh intraday record at 24,537.58. That intraday record level is corroborated by the Yahoo Finance result “NASDAQ Composite (^IXIC) Historical Data - Yahoo Finance,” and the record-closing-high portion is corroborated by CNBC’s “S&P 500, Nasdaq close at records after U.S. extends Iran ceasefire.” There is no contradictory evidence among the gathered sources, so the claim is likely true.
