Mining

The countdown to the 2028 halving has already begun… and it exposes a reality that few investors anticipate. At the midpoint, the mining ecosystem enters an unprecedented tension zone, far from the balances observed during the previous cycle. Rising costs, increased competition, and structural changes reshape the rules of the game. This halfway point is not trivial, as it marks the beginning of a decisive turning point for companies in the sector as well as for the entire Bitcoin market.

A solo miner wins an exceptional bitcoin block, reminding us that this lottery survives despite the brutal industrialization of current global mining.

Can bitcoin falter under the effect of an armed conflict? The recent drop in hashrate provides a concrete example. In a few weeks, a military operation in the Middle East disrupted the network's balance, highlighting its dependence on certain mining areas. At the same time, the rise in U.S. yields and the slowdown of crypto platforms reflect a gradual disengagement of investors. Between geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic pressure, the market reveals vulnerabilities rarely seen on this scale.

US spot Bitcoin ETFs have broken their positive momentum. For the week ending Friday, March 27, 2026, they finished with net outflows of around 296 million dollars. After four consecutive weeks of inflows, the signal counts. But it mainly tells the story of a freezing market, not a collapsing market.

Bitcoin mining is in crisis: difficulty drops by 7.7%, but a much greater threat looms. Artificial intelligence (AI) is siphoning resources, forcing giants like Core Scientific to pivot. Can the sector survive this revolution?

The SEC throws in the towel. No more witch hunts. Mining, staking, airdrops breathe freely. Only "digital securities" remain in its sights. Wall Street applauds, the old guard cries scandal.

The Bitcoin market is changing its face. This time, the driving force does not come from a simple speculative rally, but from the rising power of publicly traded companies accumulating BTC in their treasury. According to Adam Back, this group could soon absorb up to ten times the newly mined daily supply. The idea may seem extreme. However, it is based on a mechanism already visible in the market.

While AI is desperately looking for energy solutions, Bitcoin mining has already found its own: nuclear. As early as 2021, miners secured partnerships with power plants, creating a model that AI is now trying to replicate.

The bitcoin mining industry is entering a pivotal phase. For years, holding the mined BTC was enough to ensure the profitability of operations. This logic is now reaching its limits. Margins under pressure, more uncertain revenues, and a changing market dynamic are pushing industry players to rethink their strategies. According to an analysis by Wintermute, mining companies may soon have to transform their bitcoin reserves into productive assets. This evolution could reshuffle the cards of the sector's economy.

Bitcoin mining leaves the realm of mere science fiction. Starcloud, an American startup supported by Nvidia, claims it will carry mining ASICs on its second spacecraft later in 2026. If the trial succeeds, the company would become the first to mine bitcoin from Earth orbit. In…

The rise in bitcoin does not solve the economic equation of mining. At Riot Platforms, the increase in prices covers the electricity bill, without absorbing all charges or depreciation. This gap brings the debate back to a more demanding question: from what price does a mining company actually become profitable again? The analysis distinguishes three thresholds, from energy cost to accounting result.

Mining bitcoin costs $87,000, it sells for $69,000. So miners sell their machines and retrain in AI. Gotta eat, even in crypto.

Bitdeer Technologies has fully liquidated its corporate bitcoin holdings, reporting zero BTC on its balance sheet as of Feb. 20. A weekly production update posted on X confirmed the move. The decision marks a sharp break from common industry practice, where most listed miners continue to accumulate or hold reserves. It also comes at a time of tightening mining margins and the company's recent capital raises.

MARA makes a big move by taking control of 64% of Exaion, EDF's technological gem. A strategic acquisition marking the end of traditional Bitcoin mining and the start of an era dominated by artificial intelligence (AI).

While the bitcoin price struggles to regain its peaks, the network itself shows robust health. The mining difficulty has just recorded its largest increase since 2021, a paradox worth examining.

Bitcoin miners have no money left. So they promise 30 GW to AI. Problem: only 11 GW actually exist. The rest is air. But it looks nice.

Starboard urges Riot to move faster in using its power capacity for AI and high-performance computing, pointing to sites that could unlock up to $21 billion in value.

Bitcoin is going through one of its toughest phases in months. Nearly half of the circulating supply is at a loss, ETFs are bleeding billions, and yet — miners and long-term holders refuse to give in. Should this be seen as a sign of hope, or simply the denial of a market that has not yet hit bottom?

Payments firm Block Inc. has begun notifying hundreds of employees that their roles could be cut during annual performance reviews.

This sharp decline, revealing structural tensions, renews concerns about the system's robustness and the growing pressure on mining companies. While difficulty is supposed to guarantee protocol stability, its current plunge acts as a silent warning about the network's real state and the resilience of its infrastructure.

BitRiver founder Igor Runets is under house arrest as the company struggles with debt and operational challenges.

Tether launches an open-source system for bitcoin mining, marking a major breakthrough in the global crypto infrastructure.

The Bitcoin network is faltering in the face of the American winter. In January, an extreme cold wave paralyzed part of the territory of the United States, causing a sharp slowdown in mining activity. As the United States now concentrates a large share of the global hashrate, this episode highlights the sector's dependence on local energy infrastructures. The sudden drop in production raises questions about the network's real ability to withstand climate shocks and the limits of a model nonetheless considered resilient.

AI data centers nibble away at electricity and the patience of local residents: the same recipe as with bitcoin, but wrapped in a well-oiled progress discourse.

While US markets showed mixed signals this Friday, another trend emerged on the sidelines of major indices: the strong rise of shares linked to bitcoin mining. This contrast with the Nasdaq’s dynamic and the Dow’s decline raises questions about a possible repositioning of investors towards crypto-correlated assets, ahead of key economic decisions. A careful reading of these movements reveals much more than a simple technical variation.
