- Concerns over reduced profitability post-Bitcoin halving have led to a downturn in Bitcoin mining stocks, amidst a 7.5% drop in Bitcoin's price over the past week.
- Despite a challenging year for Bitcoin miners relative to the cryptocurrency itself, mining CEOs remain optimistic about the market's future as the reward halving approaches.
Bitcoin halving is just around the corner and the industry, right now, is all about sharing the take on this epic event of the year.
Recently, as per a media report, concerns about the profitability of the Bitcoin mining sector after the cryptocurrency halves its rewards have caused a decline in Bitcoin mining stocks in the United States and other countries.
Mitchell Askew, head analyst at Bitcoin mining firm Blockware Solutions, said that investors will soon see that their worries are mostly baseless. He attributes the drop in miners' stock prices mainly to concerns about profitability after the halving and a 7.5% decrease in Bitcoin's price over the past week.
Additionally, as per a report by broker Bernstein, despite Bitcoin miners not performing as well as the cryptocurrency itself this year, their CEOs are still optimistic as the reward halving nears. The report also states that the miners' underperformance is due to significant fluctuations in spot Bitcoin ETFs, which have drawn retail liquidity away from mining stocks.
