Bitcoin Mining Revenue Jumped 24% in November as Price Approached $100K

From financemagnates by Jared Kirui

Bitcoin miners reported significant profits in November due to the rally in prices and increased transaction fees. While still below pre-halving levels, the cryptocurrency mining sector experienced a notable uptick, with publicly listed miners' market caps jumping substantially, according to JPMorgan.

Bitcoin’s Recent Gains

This boost came as Bitcoin reached new heights, with transaction fees spiking around the US presidential election on November 5. This surge offered miners much-needed hashprice relief, a key measure of mining profitability, Coindesk reported. Analysts noted that Bitcoin miners earned $52,000 daily per exahash (EH/s) in November, reflecting a 24% increase from October.

The overall network hashrate, which indicates the total computational power dedicated to mining, grew 4% month-on-month to 731 EH/s. However, the growth in mining difficulty outpaced this increase, rising by 7% from October.

Publicly traded Bitcoin miners also benefited from November’s rally. The combined market capitalization of 14 miners tracked by JPMorgan reportedly jumped to $36.2 billion, a 52% increase from the previous month.

These gains highlighted the growing investor confidence in the sector amid renewed optimism about Bitcoin's performance. At the time of publication, the top cryptocurrency was trading at $95,654. The figure represents a 1.56% drop and less than 1% increase in the past day and week, respectively. Last month, BTC rose to an all-time price high of $99k.

Annualized Volatility

Bitcoin’s annualized volatility rose to 62% in November, compared to 42% in October amid heightened market activity. Analysts attribute this increase to the cryptocurrency's strong price movement during the month.

The report highlights an optimistic picture of Bitcoin mining's near-term future, though challenges remain. While miners benefited from a revenue boost in November, profitability is reportedly about 50% below pre-halving levels.

As Bitcoin continues to evolve, the interplay between hashrate growth, transaction fees, and market dynamics will remain critical for miners navigating this volatile landscape.

Most recently, Bitcoin miner MARA Holdings warned that the United States must stay ahead in Bitcoin holdings and mining operations. The company mentioned that this is a critical national security imperative due to growing global competition.

The country reportedly holds an estimated 200,000 Bitcoin ahead of China's 190,000 BTC holdings. Compared to gold, the US has 8,133 metric tonnes versus China's 2,264 tonnes. Elsewhere, HIVE Digital Technologies posted a significant expansion of its BTC mining capabilities, reportedly ordering 5,000 new miners.

  • Warsh sticks to cautious market guidance, may consider September rate hike if inflation is strong

    August 6 - According to the Financial Times, Federal Reserve Chairman Warsh has maintained his typically concise communication style, even after triggering a significant sell-off in Treasuries by declining to reveal too many details about interest rate strategy. People close to Warsh said he acknowledged making some mistakes during his first 10 weeks at the helm of the world's most important central bank, including failing to reinforce his key message on price stability and causing confusion over whether his long-term plans to reform the Fed would affect near-term policy decisions. However, they insisted these errors were not enough to derail Warsh's plans for reforming the Fed. Insiders also revealed that if inflation data released in the coming weeks prove strong and market expectations for higher borrowing costs rise accordingly, Warsh is prepared to raise interest rates at the September meeting. Insiders added that although the Fed chairman has raised the possibility of shrinking the central bank's $6.7 trillion balance sheet to tighten monetary policy, interest rates remain the primary tool—and would be used at the upcoming meeting if needed.

  • Apple Plunges Nearly 10%, Q4 Revenue Guidance Misses Expectations

    On July 31, Apple (AAPL.US) plunged nearly 10% to $300.33, marking its biggest drop since April 2025. In terms of fundamentals, Apple's third-fiscal-quarter revenue rose approximately 16% year-over-year to $109.42 billion, slightly above analyst expectations. Among the details, product revenue came in at $78.68 billion, beating the expected $77.25 billion.

  • Three Fed Officials Back Rate Hike, Hawkish Pressure Builds

    On July 31, three Federal Reserve policymakers said that dissenting votes in favor of a rate hike this week stemmed from stubborn inflationary pressures, highlighting rising internal pressure on Fed Chair Warsh to act. In statements released Friday morning, Hammack and Kashkari said they worry that although the current round of price increases may stem from short-term factors such as President Trump's tariff policies and the Iran war, the inflation situation already warrants Fed action. Logan also joined in, saying that even if inflation cools, if the Fed does not raise rates, inflation is unlikely to fully fall back to the Fed's 2% target; without any policy constraints, inflation could continue to run above target until an unexpected shock occurs. Kashkari said that if inflation remains persistently stubborn, he might support a series of rate hikes, not just a single increase, to prevent inflation from becoming further entrenched. He said: "A series of small policy adjustments may be preferable to waiting for developments to unfold and ultimately having to take more forceful action." Hammack said that if the Fed does not tighten policy, price increases could continue to accelerate. She said: "Inflation has been stubbornly above 2% for more than five years, and I have no confidence that it will return to our target on its own." (Jin Shi)
