A few interesting observations from publicly listed Bitcoin miners' latest operation updates:
Transparency in Reporting: The U.S. listed miners, especially those with larger market caps, provide the most transparent operation updates compared to public miners listed elsewhere. Most of these large-cap miners release monthly reports, while smaller-cap miners tend to report quarterly or even on a fiscal basis.
Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA): Marathon Digital Holdings leads Bitcoin production for June with 551.51 BTC. The company also has the largest market cap and Bitcoin holdings among its peers.
Positive Production Growth: Several miners have shown positive production growth compared to May:
- TeraWulf Inc (WULF): 22.92%
- Bitfarms Ltd (BITF): 21.15%
- Cipher Mining (CIFR): 19.73%
- Riot Blockchain (RIOT): 18.6%
- Hut 8 Mining Corp (HUT): 17.58%
- DMG Blockchain Solutions (DMGI): 4.35%
- Iris Energy (IREN): 1.3%
In specific, Bitfarms Ltd (BITF) shows the 2nd-highest positive monthly growth. It’s no surprise that the company rejected the MA offer from Riot due to its growth. With a new CEO who knows the operations and the company in place, Bitfarms will likely maintain its robust growth.
Impact of Halving: All miners, for which data is available, show a decline in Bitcoin production compared to pre-halving levels. On average, production has declined by 45.2% among miners who disclose their monthly operations.
Resilient Performer: CleanSpark Inc (CLSK) stands out for showing the smallest six-month and year-over-year declines at 38.19% and 9.37% respectively. This resilience is attributed to its strategic mining expansions.
