Crypto mining companies have seen their stock prices surge by as much as 120% in the last month amid rising crypto asset prices, higher mining profitability and a sharp surge in BTC production.
Crypto mining companies Marathon Digital Holdings (124.12%), Core Scientific (110.39%), Hut 8 (98.95%) and Riot Blockchain (96.69%) have updated their stock prices over the last 30 days rocketed higher, according to Yahoo Finance data — significantly outperforming Bitcoin (BTC) (18.0%) and Ether (ETH) (67.8%) asset prices.
In a second-quarter earnings report filed Aug. 11, Core Scientific reported a staggering 1601% year-to-date increase in home-mined bitcoin, hitting 6,567 bitcoin. Second-quarter revenue grew 118% year over year to $164 million, driven by increases in revenue from digital mining and hosting.
Hat 8 Mining Corp. also saw an increase in bitcoins mined during the quarter, up 71% year-over-year to a total of 946 bitcoins mined due to “an increase in hash rate from additional high-efficiency miners” and an increase in activity at its Ontario mining site. Revenue also rose 30.7% year over year in the second quarter to $43.8 million.
Marathon Digital, which released its second-quarter results earlier this week, also said it increased its bitcoin production year-over-year, producing 707 bitcoin in the quarter despite a “challenging macro environment,” with a spike in bitcoin production activity at 8 %.
However, all three companies saw larger losses attributed to impairments in their crypto holdings.
The stock price surge also coincided with surging crypto prices since the June and July plunge, with major crypto assets including Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) gaining 18.0% and 67.8%, respectively.
According to Bitinfocharts, Bitcoin mining profitability has also recovered from the yearly lows seen on June 19.
