Bitcoin mining stocks rocket 24% on macro climate, AI play: Analyst

Deficit spending and lower interest rates have boosted global liquidity higher, benefiting Bitcoin and related markets, Blockware’s Mitchell Askew said.

As such, investors are turning to the Bitcoin markets where Bitcoin mining stocks are trading at a “beta.”

Bitcoin miner revenues dwindle as halving erodes mining volumes: Bitbo

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.
