Enhanced Mining Expenses & Increasing Revenue
Despite a significant increase in per-BTC mining cost to $51,887 per Bitcoin (compared to $19,344 for Q2 2023), BitFuFu has reported a 60% scale up from the previous year’s operation.
While the rise in mining costs has led to higher expenses per BTC, the company has seen revenue growth of almost 70% ($76.3 million in Q2 2023 to $129.4 million in Q2 2024).
Seasonal Optimism
As the sell waves of Mt. Gox payouts fade and the dust settles from the 2024 Bitcoin halving, some crypto analysts predict another season of growth for BTC.
Matthew Sigel, head of digital assets research at VanEck, discusses the interplay between AI and BTC mining, as well as the impact of “forced selling” and seasonal patterns on Bitcoin’s performance.
“This is a typical seasonal pattern where Bitcoin tends to struggle in one to three months after the halving, which was in April. And pre-election, as the market comes to grips with whatever candidate wins, we’re in for four more years of reckless fiscal policy. The history is that Bitcoin really hits its stride at that point. So we’re buyers here. We think it recovers.”
