Under far heavier pressure than the rather modest decline in bitcoin over the past few days would suggest, crypto stocks are posting outsized gains as markets surge higher on the Trump tariff pause.
Among the movers are Strategy (MSTR), which rose 25%, while Coinbase (COIN) climbed 21%. Marathon Digital (MARA) and Riot Platforms (RIOT) were among the bitcoin miners posting gains in the teens.

Other movers included Semler Scientific (SMLR) and Fold (FLD), with advances closer to 10%.
The strong uptick was in line with the big move in other U.S. stocks — the Nasdaq rocketing more than 10% higher and the S&P 500 8%.
Bitcoin climbed above $82,000, up more than 6% over the past 24 hours.
The big gains come after a panicky few days in markets that nearly turned into a free fall on Monday and again overnight following President Trump's punitive tariff plan announced last Wednesday.
“I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE," said the president in a Truth Social posting midday today that set off the major rally.
