Despite Bitcoin's strong start at the start of 2024, crypto mining stocks have outperformed BTC post-halving, with Hut 8 and Bitfarms delivering the highest returns. 😮 The fourth Bitcoin halving event, which affected small mining companies more severely, led private equity firms to consolidate small companies by combining their infrastructures. However, despite recent headwinds for Bitcoin itself, this strategic interest has led to marked outperformance in mining stocks. Analysts state that Hut 8 (HUT) and Bitfarms (BIT) stocks provided the highest returns of 86% and 34% respectively. In comparison, Bitcoin fell 3.62% after the halving.
