Crypto-linked stocks were among the best premarket performers in the S&P 500 Wednesday as Bitcoin and other digital assets were also climbing after President Donald Trump extended a U.S. cease-fire with Iran.

Strategy -- the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin -- was up 2.2% ahead of the bell Wednesday, while online trading platform Robinhood rose by 1.6%, and crypto exchange Coinbase advanced 1.8%.

Gains for crypto-linked stocks were "all down to Bitcoin," Nexo analyst Iliya Kalchev told Barron's. The world's premier cryptocurrency hit $78,259 over the past 24 hours, according to CoinDesk, an 11-week high.

"Savvy traders looking for alternatives to digital assets landed on crypto stocks," added Kalchev.
