Mining revenues hit 12-month lows in August, according to Bitbo.
Bitcoin (BTC) miners saw mining revenues dwindle to 12-month lows as the Bitcoin network’s April halving continues to erode mining output and, in turn, revenues, according to data from Bitbo, a Bitcoin dashboard.
Monthly BTC mining revenues declined to approximately $827 million in August 2024, according to Bitbo. That’s lower than any month since September 2023 and far below pre-halving peaks of almost $2 billion in March 2024.
Roughly every four years, a halving event hardcoded into the Bitcoin network cuts the number of BTC mined per block in half. The April halving reduced mining rewards from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC per block.
Following the investment, Tether expects close collaboration with Bitdeer across several key infrastructure areas, CEO Paolo Ardoino said.
Jihan Wu’s cryptocurrency mining firm Bitdeer is raising new capital from Tether, the operator of the world’s largest stablecoin, the eponymous Tether (USDT).
Tether has entered into a subscription agreement with Bitdeer to purchase up to $150 million worth of its shares in a private placement, according to an official announcement on May 31.
The private placement includes 18,587,360 Class A ordinary shares and a warrant to purchase up to 5,000,000 additional shares at $10.00 per share.
