Mining

Bitcoin miners' stocks are rising because the market no longer sees them only as BTC producers. It now values them as holders of electricity, land, data centers, and capacities useful to artificial intelligence. This change explains the recent interest around TeraWulf, Hut 8, IREN, or Riot Platforms, in a context where Wall Street remains driven by AI and semiconductors.

While Nvidia builds cathedrals for artificial intelligence, bitcoin miners bring out their secret plans. Wall Street applauds weakly, then discreetly recounts the cracks under the global digital foundations.

While bitcoin plunges down the mountain like an old tired gondola, Marathon quietly sells its digital treasure to fuel its artificial intelligence dreams and avoid a nasty industrial slide now visible everywhere.

Bitcoin ralentit légèrement, mais le réseau ne casse pas. Le 1er mai 2026, sa difficulté de minage a reculé de 2,3 %, pendant que le hashrate repassait sous le seuil symbolique de 1 zettahash par seconde.

Long associated with stablecoins, Tether is now moving into mining infrastructure. The company has unveiled a modular architecture for Bitcoin mining and partnered with Canaan and ACME Swisstech to develop customizable and scalable platforms. The initiative aims to give operators greater control over hardware, energy, and cooling in a sector where efficiency has become a key challenge.

The Bitcoin network sends an ambiguous signal. While mining difficulty has just dropped, suggesting a respite for companies in the sector, indicators already point to an imminent rebound. Behind this technical adjustment lies a brutal reality: a weakened sector facing growing economic constraints. Between algorithmic mechanics and profitability tensions, the mining industry is going through a pivotal phase whose implications could soon be felt.

Bitcoin under pressure: the most vulnerable miners are massively liquidating their reserves. A worrying dynamic for the crypto market.

Bitcoin crosses the $74,000 mark again, supported by renewed investor interest. Behind this movement, the market is crossed by opposing forces. Institutional demand supports prices, while persistent sales limit the extent of the rise. This return to a key level comes in a context of tension, where the balance between buyers and sellers remains uncertain.

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.

He had a one in 300 years chance to succeed. Yet, this solo bitcoin miner just pocketed $225,000. All details in this article!

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 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.

MARA holds 53,822 BTC on the balance sheet, but bitcoin drives Q4 loss explosion. We give you all the details in this article.

Bitcoin is increasingly moving from private portfolios to public balance sheets. A new report from River indicates that governments are no longer passive observers of the market. Today, 23 countries hold BTC in some capacity, marking a meaningful expansion of state-level participation.

A solo miner used rented on-demand hashrate to mine a rare Bitcoin block, earning 3.125 BTC worth around $200,000.

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.
