Miner Efficiency and Rankings: There's been a shake-up in bitcoin miner rankings, influenced by factors such as debt, hash rate, and growth in hash rate.
Transaction Fees: The average Bitcoin transaction fee has fluctuated significantly, providing substantial revenue for miners.
Investment Strategy: The current period is seen as an accumulation phase for Bitcoin, influenced by ETFs, suggesting strategic buying opportunities.
Halving Preparation: Miners need to have state-of-the-art rigs to stay competitive, especially with the Bitcoin halving approaching in about sixty days.
Cost Challenges: Post-halving, miners with cash costs close to the current Bitcoin price will face financial difficulties.
Financial Health Indicators: Cash reserves, debt levels, and the ability to generate revenue are critical for evaluating miners' financial health, with emphasis on efficiency and profitability in operations.
Bitcoin is sitting at $51,900, and there has been a shake-up in the miner rankings. In addition, I have reconfigured some of my composite scores to reflect the halving emphasizing debt, hash rate, hash rate growth, etc.
So let's find out exactly who is winning…
The circulating market cap is $1.02T. The last time I did this about a month ago it was approximately $800B. Bitcoin is now 232.61% off of the bottom, so we are deep into the bull market run.
The average Bitcoin transaction fee is a rollercoaster driven by ordinals and mempools. In late 2023 and so far in 2024, a lot of money has been made by miners on these fees.
We are in the lime zone, which indicates an accumulation period for Bitcoin. This time is different because of the ETFs, which will drive the bus this season. So be on the bus!
If you are not lean and mean with state-of-the-art rigs, you will be in a world of hurt going into this halving. And it is only 58 days away.
