Crypto Mining Stocks Rally After Bitcoin Surges Near Record, Ether Hits All-Time High
The stocks of crypto mining companies, which are heavily exposed to the prices of the cryptocurrencies they mine, surged on Monday after the price of bitcoin approached record highs and ether, the native token for Ethereum, hit an all-time high.
Among the crypto miners, Marathon Digital led the surge on Monday, with the stock soaring almost 20%, while peer Riot Blockchain climbed 17%.
Other miners such as Bit Digital, Bitfarms, Hive Blockchain, Hut 8, Cleanspark; Sphere 3D, and Greenidge Generation each rose more than 10%. Meanwhile, Stronghold, Argo, and Cipher’s shares were each up more than 5%.
The share prices of miners are most leveraged to the price of cryptocurrencies; since their main source of revenue comes from mining the coins and holding them on their balance sheets.
With bitcoin prices climbing above $60,000, miners big and small continue to make profits; leading to a surge in capital flowing into the sector and more companies delving into mining.
“With current BTC mining margins north of 90%; capital is aggressively flowing into the sector; which we expect to make BTC mining more institutionalized,” said BTIG analyst Gregory Lewis in a research note.
