    Crypto Winter Ends Era of Bitcoin Mining ‘HODLers’

    coindesk 2023-03-16 56980 views Mining
    Bitcoin miners are no longer able or willing to hold onto all of their mined digital assets indefinitely as a slump in prices is eating into their margins. The last publicly listed bitcoin miner to pursue a 100% “HODL” strategy since the bull market, Hut 8 Mining (HUT), said last week that it finally gave in and sold 188 bitcoins in February to fund operations. Miners in general have found it difficult to raise funds for operations, including in the form of capital in public markets, amid a slide in the broader financial market and narrowing margins. Some of the miners that opted to hold onto their mined bitcoin (BTC) through the last bull market and into this bear cycle are now starting to sell the coins, mostly to pay for their daily operating expenses.
