The $100,000 Bitcoin Threshold: Mining Economics at a Crossroads + HIVE Digital HPC News!
Manage episode 490409719 series 3570269
Bitcoin dropped below $100,000 over the weekend, raising questions about whether this signals a bear market or simply represents a temporary pullback in the ongoing bull cycle. The cryptocurrency quickly rebounded above the $100,000 threshold, but mining stocks continue to face significant pressure.
• Bitcoin miners are down 35% year-to-date despite Bitcoin reaching new all-time highs
• Hash rate dropped to 670 exahash, likely due to curtailment in Texas rather than geopolitical factors
• Anthony Pompliano launched ProCap, raising $750 million for a new Bitcoin treasury company
• MetaPlanet and Strategy continue aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategies
• A 6.8-6.9% difficulty reduction expected on June 28th would provide relief for miners
• Hive Digital Technologies acquired a tier 3 data center in Toronto for their HPC subsidiary
• Data center-focused miners appear undervalued compared to pure data center companies
