Core Scientific Reports
Decreased Bitcoin Production in November
The
blockchain infrastructure company, one of the biggest Wall Street BTC companies based on the market cap, mined 314 Bitcoin in November, marking a
14.9% decrease from October’s 369 Bitcoin. Daily production averaged 10.5
Bitcoin, compared to 11.9 in the previous month, while maintaining a
self-mining fleet efficiency of 24.8 J/TH.
Although
Bitcoin reached record highs in November, nearing
the $100,000 mark, the increase in mining difficulty led to lower
production by miners. However, they
still earned approximately 25% more than in October.
Among other
major Wall Street-listed miners, results
also declined. CleanSpark (NASDAQ: CLSK) produced 622 BTC, while Riot
Platforms (NASDAQ: RIOT) followed with 495 BTC. Bitfarms (NASDAQ: BITF) and
Cipher Mining (NASDAQ: CIFR) reported similar outputs of 204 and 202 BTC
respectively, highlighting the intense competition in the mid-tier segment.
TeraWulf (NASDAQ: WULF) completed the group with 115 BTC mined during the
month.
MARA
Holdings (NASDAQ: MARA), the largest publicly listed cryptocurrency mining
company, was the only one to achieved a higher Bitcoin production, increasing
its output by 26% to 907 BTC in November.
