Bitcoin’s surge past $126,000 has ignited a powerful rally across mining stocks. Market favorites such as CleanSpark (CLSK), Marathon Digital (MARA), Riot Platforms (RIOT), and Hut 8 (HUT) are up between 10–25% in a single week, reflecting renewed optimism about profitability and institutional adoption. With the Bitcoin network difficulty at record highs, the market now […]

In a move that’s drawing sharp debate, Democratic lawmakers in New York have introduced a bill targeting Bitcoin miners with a tiered excise tax based on electricity usage. Under the proposal, miners consuming 2.25 to 5 million kilowatt-hours would pay 2 cents per kWh, while those using 20 million or more could face a rate

By late September 2025, Bitcoin remains the dominant choice for industrial-scale miners thanks to its liquidity, brand recognition, and institutional demand. With prices hovering above $115,000 and top-tier ASICs achieving unprecedented efficiency, large farms with access to cheap energy continue to find BTC mining profitable. However, for smaller players or those with higher electricity costs,

Once a spinoff of Arkon Energy—a firm tied to crypto-mining—Nscale has leapt into the big leagues. The UK-based startup recently landed a $700 million investment from Nvidia, Microsoft, and OpenAI to build its hyperscale AI data-center infrastructure. The plan calls for deploying tens of thousands of Nvidia Blackwell GPUs across new facilities, beginning with a

Laos, long known as the “battery of Southeast Asia,” has built dozens of hydropower dams across the Mekong River and its tributaries in recent decades. This ambitious infrastructure build-out has left the country with two intertwined challenges: soaring debt from financing dam projects, and more electricity generation capacity than can be sold or used locally.

After months of AI and HPC-focused stocks grabbing all the buzz, the tide appears to be turning in favor of pure-play Bitcoin miners. Companies like MARA Holdings and CleanSpark saw sharp gains—10% and 17% on a single trading day—leading a resurgence among mining stocks. Part of what’s driving the move is Bitcoin itself pushing toward

A dramatic 12-foot golden statue of Donald Trump holding a Bitcoin was unveiled outside the U.S. Capitol this week, timed to coincide with a fresh announcement by the Federal Reserve. The Fed’s new rate cut marks its first since late 2024, injecting both relief and uncertainty into markets already jittery from inflation, policy signals, and

For years, solo Bitcoin mining has been seen as a relic of the past—overshadowed by massive industrial farms filled with rows of ASICs. Yet in 2025, the story is more complex. Despite record-high network difficulty and corporate miners controlling the majority of the hashrate, occasional reports of lone miners striking gold remind the community that

A mitjans de setembre de 2025, SHA-256 continua sent el pes pesant en la mineria de criptomonedes. L'ascens de Bitcoin per sobre dels 110.000 dòlars i l'alta liquiditat fan que la mineria de BTC per SHA-256 sigui molt atractiva, especialment per a les grans operacions amb accés a energia barata i ASIC moderns. L'eficiència dels equips ASIC més nous continua millorant (menys joules per terahash), cosa que ajuda a compensar la creixent dificultat de la mineria i les despeses d'electricitat. SHA-256 també inclou altres monedes com Bitcoin Cash o DigiByte, però cap d'elles iguala Bitcoin en la força de l'ecosistema o el potencial de rendiment, tret que l'electricitat sigui prohibitivament cara o la dificultat esdevingui insosteniblement alta per a les operacions més petites.

Sunshine Oilsands Ltd., una empresa tradicionalment lligada al desenvolupament de les sorres petrolíferes a Alberta, està reposicionant la seva estratègia associant-se amb BitCruiser, una firma especialitzada en infraestructura de criptomonedes, per construir una gran granja de mineria de Bitcoin. Segons l'acord, Sunshine Oilsands aportarà el seu terreny, les seves capacitats de subministrament d'energia i la seva infraestructura al lloc—com ara instal·lacions de treball i allotjament—mentre que BitCruiser proporcionarà el maquinari de mineria i s'encarregarà de la construcció de l'operació de mineria. Aquest moviment marca un canvi per a Sunshine Oilsands cap a projectes tecnològics d'ús intensiu d'energia, aprofitant els seus actius energètics existents per entrar en el panorama en auge de la mineria de blockchain.
