With increased corporate spending on cloud computing, big data analytics and artificial intelligence, revenue growth for top software stocks has picked up in momentum. You could say that the world is witnessing a software revolution as major businesses scramble to adopt the many fields of software for business continuity. So much, that software has penetrated nearly every aspect of our lives. Today, we use software to work, play, and communicate with those around us. 

For instance, Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) are some prime examples of software companies that have fully integrated into our lives. Microsoft Windows is one of the most popular computer operating systems in the world today, with over 1 billion people using the software. Adobe on the other hand has one of the best creativity and document management software in the world. The list could go on the wonders that software companies have brought for us in the last decade but you get the picture. Also, software companies will likely continue to fuel this enthusiasm as more people become dependent on their software for a higher quality of life. With that in mind, here are four of the best software stocks to watch in the stock market today.

Riot Blockchain

Riot is a software company that focuses on cryptocurrency in particular. To elaborate, the company is in the business of bitcoin mining operations. Its base of operation is in Coinmint LLP’s Massena, New York. Riot has had a stellar performance so far in the stock market and has been up by over 290% year-to-date. This seems to come after news of Bitcoin hitting a record high of over $51,000. Another reason could be because of Tesla announcing that it had bought $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin last week.
