Bitcoin Miner Beat Blue Chips In Trading Volumes On Heels Of Expected ETF Approval And Halving, Experts Optimistic
Portfolio Pulse from Khyathi Dalal
Bitcoin miner stocks, including Marathon Digital Holdings Inc (MARA), have seen a surge in trading volumes, surpassing those of major blue-chip companies like Tesla (TSLA) and Apple (AAPL). This increase is attributed to the anticipation of a spot Bitcoin ETF approval and the upcoming Bitcoin halving event in April 2024. Bitcoin miners are expanding operations, with Marathon Digital purchasing new mining sites and TerraWulf Inc (WULF) reporting a significant expansion. Bit Digital Inc (BTBT) and Bitfarms Ltd (BITF) also announced plans to increase their mining capacities. Bitcoin miners' revenue hit the highest level in 2023 on Dec. 28, according to Blockchain.com data.
