Welcome to a new paradigm... Bitcoin Electrical Cost is now a whopping $77.4K.
This is the raw electricity cost to power the network, per Bitcoin mined. Bitcoin Miner Price hit $244K on Saturday! This is the block reward + fees per Bitcoin mined. It boomed as transaction fees hit $230+ (about 4X the prior ATH of $68 set in 2021). This means Bitcoin is trading at a DEEP DISCOUNT. Price under Electrical Cost typically lasts just a couple days every 4 years. This means 1 of 3 things happens now: 1) Price skyrockets 2) ~15% of miners shut down 3) Transaction fees remain a lot higher on average Source: Charles Edwards
The first post-halving block generated 37.626 BTC (worth $2.4M) in fees 1 Bitcoin block gets mined about every 10 minutes.
On average, each of these blocks contains 2,000+ transactions. And whenever a Halving happens, everyone races to get their transactions in the first post-halving block. It’s the crypto equivalent of saying ‘I was there’. Well, check it out. The first block ended up generating $2.4M in fees - a new record. Source: Milk Road
Bitcoin ‘halving’ will deal a $10bn blow to crypto miners.
Cryptocurrency’s update will slash new supply in late April. Competition for favourable electric rates is growing from AI firms. Some traders are thus betting that mining stocks will fall. Total short interest, dollar value of shares borrowed & sold by bearish traders, stood at ~$2bn. Source: HolgerZ, Bloomberg
