The Word on the Street

Bitcoin miners’ revenue dropped to a 12-month low in August. Bitcoin miners’ revenue fell to a 12-month low in August 2024, mainly due to the April halving event. According to Bitcoin monitoring platform Bitbo, August’s mining revenue was approximately $827 million, lower than any month since September 2023, and well below the peak of nearly $2 billion in March 2024. JPMorgan’s report noted that the fourth Bitcoin halving event reduced daily mining output and revenue opportunities, impacting miners’ profit margins and profitability. JPMorgan’s five monitored publicly-listed Bitcoin mining companies saw their mining volume drop by 28% in the second quarter.
In response to declining revenue, Bitcoin miners are adjusting their business models. Companies like Core Scientific, Hive Digital Technologies, and Hut 8 are investing in artificial intelligence applications, while others like Bitdeer Technologies Group are improving mining efficiency. Bitdeer reported a year-over-year gross profit increase of about 50% in the second quarter of 2024.
