Bitcoin Miners Hit Hard as Price Drop Rocks Industry
When Bitcoin falls, miners take it hard. The halving didn't have quite the impact many investors hoped this week as the price of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) fell 3.4% over the last seven days as of 2:30 p.m. ET.
Miners' Margins Squeezed
- Riot Platforms (NASDAQ: RIOT) down 13.8%
- Marathon Digital (NASDAQ: MARA) down 11.8%
- Cleanspark (NASDAQ: CLSK) down 16.2%
The Fed is worried about inflation heating up again, potentially cooling the economy and leaving less funds for assets like Bitcoin.
What's Next for Miners? Companies with half the Bitcoin rewards may struggle with rising costs and declining margins, posing challenges for the sector's future.
