Revenue for publicly traded Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrency miners on Wall Street has fallen by 12%. This continues the negative reaction to April’s halving, which reduced block rewards, coupled with low network fees and rising production costs. According to the latest JPMorgan report, this is making it difficult for miners to maintain profitability. A few months ago, the fourth Bitcoin halving event took place, reducing the rewards received by miners from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. As a result, miners receive half as much revenue for their work, and the competition for mining new BTC has significantly intensified. “The…
