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

À la mi-septembre 2025, SHA-256 reste le poids lourd du minage de crypto. L'ascension de Bitcoin au-delà de 110 000 $ et sa forte liquidité rendent le minage de BTC par SHA-256 très attrayant - en particulier pour les grandes opérations ayant accès à une électricité bon marché et à des ASICs modernes. L'efficacité des plus récents rigs ASIC continue de s'améliorer (moins de joules par terahash), ce qui aide à compenser la difficulté de minage croissante et les dépenses en électricité. SHA-256 inclut également d'autres pièces comme Bitcoin Cash ou DigiByte, mais aucune ne se compare à Bitcoin en termes de force d'écosystème ou de potentiel de rendement, sauf si l'électricité est prohibitivement chère ou si la difficulté devient insoutenablement élevée pour les petites opérations.

Sunshine Oilsands Ltd., une entreprise traditionnellement liée au développement des sables bitumineux en Alberta, repositionne sa stratégie en s'associant à BitCruiser, une entreprise spécialisée dans l'infrastructure crypto, pour construire une grande ferme de minage de Bitcoin. Selon l'accord, Sunshine Oilsands contribuera avec son terrain, ses capacités d'approvisionnement en énergie et l'infrastructure du site — telles que les installations de travail et d'hébergement — tandis que BitCruiser fournira le matériel de minage et gérera la construction de l'opération de minage. Cette décision marque un virage pour Sunshine Oilsands vers des entreprises technologiques gourmandes en énergie, tirant parti de ses actifs énergétiques existants pour entrer dans le paysage florissant du minage de blockchain.
