Bitcoin mining is an energy-intensive process that generates a significant amount of heat–the main other output from the process besides Bitcoin.

Investors have a good problem on their hands when it comes to Bitcoin miners: there’s a lot to choose from.

Iris Energy was able to increase its daily production by over 90%.

Bitcoin continues its mini-bull run, rising to $28,478 per coin as of March’s end–an increase of 23% on the closing price for the previous month and 72% for the 1st quarter of 2023.

Marathon and Riot, the two largest publicly traded North American Bitcoin miners, recently issued Form 10-Ks show significant losses for the full year at $687 million and $510 million, respectively.

Spring is within sight, but perhaps not for Bitcoin miners.

In this piece, we’ll tackle a few stand out metrics including the cost to mine a Bitcoin, balance sheet strength, Enterprise Value and production.

A bit of position jostling for first place followed the cheery price action.

Bitcoin mining shares have performed well during this recent surge in Bitcoin price, with an average increase in the last 30 days of 225%.

DMG Blockchain (DMGI) continued their good November performance and ended 2022 by having the highest monthly performance by a miner in terms of production by operational EH/s, for December too.

Bitfarms (BITF) ended 2022 on a high note, mining 496 Bitcoin in December for a yearly total of 5,167 BTC.

On Wednesday, December 28, Argo was finally provided with a much needed lifeline, by formally announcing the agreement to sell their flagship site Helios.

What started like a year of promise ended with high profile bankruptcies, collapses and capitulations.

Bitcoin mining difficulty was relatively stable during November, increasing by just 0.1%–good news for Bitcoin miners who had witnessed a 17% increase the month before.

October was brutal for many a miner. But some cut through the red, building on previous wins for continued success.

We sat down with Riot Blockchain's CEO to discuss Riot's current mining activity, future growth plans and market outlooks.

Debt payments and sub-$20K Bitcoin don't line up well, miners found out in October.

From an accounting viewpoint, cryptocurrencies never readily fitted easily into a financial reporting structure.

September mining proved to be a challenge for many miners. Not only did miners have put up with a large increase in Bitcoin’s difficulty, but inflation-goaded energy prices continue to eat into miner’s bottom line.

It’s been one year since Argo raised over $100 million in capital when going public via IPO. It's been a difficult path since, as it has for all miners.

Cleanspark and Iris Energy have dominated the bear market, adding hashrate while other miners scrape by.
