Bitcoin Mining Stocks May Soon Outperform BTC In Near Term, Here’s Why
Highlights
- Bitcoin miners navigating into cloud computing and AI have helped strong recovery in stock price.
- Bitcoin mining stocks have surged by 30% and more over the past month against BTC's 5% gains.
- Analysts predict that the BTC outperformance is likely to continue going ahead.
Along with the sharp recovery in the Bitcoin price over the past three weeks, stocks of the Bitcoin mining firms have also joined the recovery process. Stocks of the public-listed crypto mining firms took a major hit following the Bitcoin halving event in April. However, over the past few months, these BTC mining stocks have given a strong recovery aligning with the BTC price recovery.
Bitcoin Mining Stocks to Outperform BTC
As per on-chain data provider ecoinometrics, Bitcoin mining stocks have been closing the gap with BTC. After the launch of the spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US in January, and until the Bitcoin halving event, the Bitcoin mining stocks performed poorly. This was mainly because investors sold the stocks in anticipation of declining mining revenues/rewards, and growing costs post the halving event.
But over the past two months, the BTC mining industry has been making efforts to consolidate its operations and pivot to more lucrative areas such as cloud computing and AI.
The BTC mining players like Northern Data are now betting on these major shifts to boost their revenue numbers by the end of this year. As things seem to be improving further, ecoinometrics shows that the BTC mining stocks could outperform Bitcoin going ahead.

“In the previous cycle, Bitcoin miners acted as a leveraged bet on BTC. We believe this is still valid given the small size of miners’ stocks compared to their potential,” added econometrics.
