That comment quickly spread across crypto media…

The company’s total $BTC holdings reached 1,812 as of April 30, reflecting a net increase of 18 coins compared to the end of March. Monthly Production and Reserve Growth The April production figure of 145 $BTC continues Bitfufu’s steady operational output. The modest 18-coin increase in holdings, net of any sales or operational expenses, suggests the firm retained a portion of its newly mined Bitcoin while potentially covering costs with the remainder. This approach aligns with broader industry trends where miners balance accumulation…
