🎉Attention BTC enthusiasts!🎉 Bitcoin mining companies are outshining BTC itself this year, with nearly all publicly-traded firms soaring over 100% since January 1! 🚀 Companies like Marathon Digital (MARA), Iris Energy (IREN), and Riot Platforms (RIOT) have seen their shares skyrocket by 158%, 168%, and 186% respectively. 📈
Why the surge? As Bitcoin's value rises, so does the dollar-denominated value of mining rewards, boosting profits for these companies. 🤑 Bitcoin is up 90% in 2023, fueled by U.S. bank failures in March and the potential for a spot Bitcoin ETF approval. 🏦📰
But wait, there's more! Mining companies are making unique strides to boost their value proposition to investors. Firms like CleanSpark (CLSK) have announced major investments in the latest Bitcoin mining hardware, increasing their capacity to win new BTC. 🏗️💰
Not only that, but miners are diversifying into cloud computing and HPC services using their existing infrastructure, claiming these services are more profitable per unit of energy than Bitcoin mining. 🌐💼 So, it's no wonder that Bitcoin miners are outperforming BTC this year! 🌟
