Reports indicate that mining a single Bitcoin now costs far more in electricity than it's worth, even at sky-high prices.

    Miners like Riot Blockchain are operating at a loss

    I’m not a finance wizard, but I peeked at their last SEC filing, and first 3 quarters of 2024 they posted a 35m operating loss, but added almost 900m worth of assets to their balance sheet (mostly Bitcoin), which to me tells a very different story

      That’s because they diluted their stock and sold it. The income doesn’t come from mining Bitcoin.
