Benzinga - Shares of several crypto-related stocks including Marathon Digital Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: MARA), Riot Platforms Inc (NASDAQ: RIOT) and Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ: COIN) are trading higher Tuesday as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) bounces back and continues to move higher following a recent pullback.

What Happened: Bitcoin crossed the $30,000 mark for the first time since June 2022 last week, which helped spark upward momentum in several cryptocurrencies including Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE).

On Monday, Bitcoin pulled back, falling below $30,000 and trading down toward $29,000. It's moving higher again Tuesday and has once again crossed above the key $30,000 level.

Some bulls have been calling for a continued move to the $36,000 level. If Bitcoin breaks through its highs from the weekend around $31,000, it could see another strong push higher.

Riot Blockchain is a Bitcoin miner focused on building, supporting and operating blockchain technologies. It was up 5.18% at $13.60 at last check.
