Hut 8 is one of the older and experienced BTC miners that is run by some wonderful ladies in Canada where it is cold and they are using low cost energy. Texas miners are shutting down to provide electricity back to the grid. European Miners have much higher energy cost and are also unplugging. When so many machines that mine Bitcoin go off the network the ones that are left get paid much more. It is estimated that Hut 8 is earning an extra 10 to 15% Bitcoin because of other miners turning off machines. Hut is also continuing to buy equipment at low costs and are growing BTC mined per month.
Hut has burned through the Ichimoku Cloud and just retested support Friday. If the QQQ continues to squeeze those that don't believe that the Nasdaq leads 4 months before the low of the market, HUT 8 can surge like MARA and SDIG did. If you watch Krowns Crypto Cave analysis on BTC each morning then you know that BTC is setting up for a run up to 25k to 28k by the end of this month.
Wild Card Prediction - Elon Musk did sell BTC in Tesla to make payroll for those big cash furnaces in China, Berlin and Austin. He went out of his way to say he didn't have anything against Bitcoin but you know his CFO was explaining he didn't want to show a 500M asset devalue, so they sold at their cost. The other sale of BTC was for a 200M gain. Elon is sitting on a lot of cash for his Tweet excursion that likely will expire. Where will that cash go? Dogecoin, maybe, but more likely BTC.
MARA and SDIG both saw crazy moves up. So if you're looking for the next Bitcoin miner to get crazy options activity it is likely Hut 8, but maybe it will only be the poorly run BTC miners. Paul Barron Network did a nice interview of Hut 8 last month on youtube if you want to learn more about them. Bitcoin currently trades in great linkage to the QQQ but that is only likely to continue for a little longer as asset managers uncouple their trading algorithms for BTC.
