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.

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

2025년 9월 중순, SHA-256은 암호화폐 채굴에서 여전히 거물로 남아 있습니다. 비트코인이 11만 달러를 넘어 상승하고 높은 유동성을 가지면서 SHA-256당 BTC 채굴은 매우 매력적입니다. 특히 저렴한 전력과 최신 ASIC에 접근할 수 있는 대규모 운영에 그렇습니다. 최신 ASIC 장비의 효율성은 계속해서 향상되어(테라해시당 더 적은 줄) 채굴 난이도 상승과 전기 비용을 상쇄하는 데 도움이 됩니다. SHA-256에는 비트코인 캐시나 디지바이트와 같은 다른 코인도 포함되지만, 전기가 엄청나게 비싸거나 소규모 운영에 비해 난이도가 지나치게 높아지지 않는 한 생태계 강점이나 수익 잠재력 면에서 비트코인과 맞먹는 것은 없습니다.
