Crypto Mining Stocks Soar to Yearly Highs After Bitcoin Price Rally
By:C, FionaThe rebound in Bitcoin (BTC) price to a multi-month high has also affected the crypto mining stocks. Many of these mining stocks recorded their best monthly performance in a year. The spike in mining stocks also came as a relief to struggling miners, who had to sell a large portion of their mined coins to boost liquidity last year.
Bitfarms, one of the top BTC mining firms registered a 140% surge in the first two weeks of January followed by Marathon Digital Holdings Inc. with a 120% surge. Hive Blockchain Technologies Ltd. saw its stock value nearly double in the same period while MVIS Global Digital Assets Mining Index is up by 64% in the first month as well.
The Luxor Hashprice Index, which aims to quantify how much a miner might make from the processing power used by the Bitcoin network, has increased by 21% this year. This partly reflects larger rewards due to an increase in the price of Bitcoin.
The bull run in 2021 prompted several mining companies to go public while others invested heavily in pieces of equipment and expansion. However, a prolonged crypto winter in 2022 exposed the vulnerabilities and lack of proper structuring in many of these mining firms.
The 2021 bull market saw a significant increase in borrowing by the Bitcoin mining industry, which had a negative effect on their financial standing during the succeeding bear market. Public Bitcoin miners owe more than $4 billion in liabilities while the top 10 Bitcoin mining debtors collectively owe nearly $2.6 billion. By the end of 2022, leading BTC miners such as Core Scientific filed for bankruptcy.

January’s Bitcoin price spike has not just helped struggling crypto mining stocks reach new highs in the year, but it also helped Bitcoin-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) outperform most of the traditional stock ETF market as well.

The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
