In this week’s news roundup, Charlie, Colin, and Matt take a look at the $2.1 billion in financing public Bitcoin miners have accrued recently, CleanSpark’s mining pool aspirations, and the surprising resilience of solo miners post-halving.
Welcome back to The Mining Pod! How much have public miners raised since Q2? A lot – like, $2.2 billion kind of a lot. The majority of this liquidity flows from at-the-market (and other) stock offerings in Q2, while a handful of miners have also turned toward convertible notes for financing in Q3. In addition to that news, we also cover a story that Blockspace broke regarding CleanSpark’s desire to launch its own mining pool, and we finish the feel good underdog story that yes, solo miners are still out there (and they’re actually making money).
