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

Midden september 2025 blijft SHA-256 het zwaargewicht in cryptomining. De opkomst van Bitcoin tot boven de $110.000 en de hoge liquiditeit maken BTC-mining per SHA-256 zeer aantrekkelijk - vooral voor grote operaties met toegang tot goedkope stroom en moderne ASICs. De efficiëntie van de nieuwste ASIC-rigs blijft verbeteren (minder joules per terahash), wat helpt om de toenemende mining-moeilijkheid en elektriciteitskosten te compenseren. SHA-256 omvat ook andere munten zoals Bitcoin Cash of DigiByte, maar geen enkele evenaart Bitcoin in ecosysteemkracht of rendementspotentieel, tenzij elektriciteit onbetaalbaar duur wordt of de moeilijkheidsgraad voor kleinere operaties onhoudbaar hoog wordt.

Sunshine Oilsands Ltd., een bedrijf dat traditioneel verbonden is met de ontwikkeling van oliezand in Alberta, herpositioneert zijn strategie door samen te werken met BitCruiser, een firma gespecialiseerd in crypto-infrastructuur, om een grote Bitcoin-miningfarm te bouwen. Onder de overeenkomst zal Sunshine Oilsands zijn land, energievoorzieningscapaciteiten en de infrastructuur op locatie—zoals werk- en accommodatiefaciliteiten—bijdragen, terwijl BitCruiser de mininghardware zal leveren en de bouw van de miningoperatie zal verzorgen. Deze stap markeert een verschuiving voor Sunshine Oilsands naar energie-intensieve technologie-ondernemingen, waarbij het zijn bestaande energieactiva benut om de bloeiende blockchain-mining-landschap te betreden.
