Episode notes
Miner Economics Now Drive Near-Term Supply
- Miner-held supply and miner economics are now a key short-term supply factor for Bitcoin.
- Arjoon notes miners are operating at negative economics (fees low, hash rate up), increasing reliance on block subsidy and pressuring sales.
Miners Selling Bitcoin To Fund AI Data Centers
- Some public miners are selling BTC to fund AI-focused data centers, changing their balance-sheet strategy.
- Arjoon points to Iron and others pivoting to AI, selling holdings to build gigawatt facilities and improving share performance.
Lower Hash Rate Could Ease Miner Selling
- A falling hash rate could reduce economic pressure on miners and be constructive for price.
- Arjoon explains correlation between hash price and BTC price is likely symptomatic; lower hash reduces forced miner selling.
