Bitcoin continues to face sell pressure. Strategy did its smallest purchase to date but is getting closer to holding 500,000 BTC. Hashprice remains low, even as difficulty growth slows, challenging miners to find cost-effective strategies. On the innovation front, the first on-chain Bitcoin difficulty hedge took place, and the A2 Pro pushes the efficiency of the SEALMINER below 15 J/TH. For premium members, we dive into the science behind the ASIC model upgrades—exploring how chip...

Since the 2024 halving, mining profit margins have been suppressed. In such an environment, fixed-cost agreements (e.g., fixed hosting fees, fixed power rates) can become unsustainable for either the miner or the hosting provider. This is why profit- and revenue-share models have gained popularity as alternative financial structures. But how do these models differ, and what are the pros and cons for the parties involved in mining operations? Let’s find out. Fixed-Cost Agreements Flat Fee or...
