JPMorgan: 20% of Bitcoin miners are unprofitable as BTC stays below $78K production cost
JPMorgan analysts say bitcoin has traded below its estimated production cost for five straight months, leaving about 20% of miners operating at a loss. Publicly listed miners sold more than 32,000 BTC in the first quarter to fund operations. JPMorgan estimates production cost at about $78,000 per coin, versus bitcoin trading near $63,000. The bank expects volatility in mining metrics to persist until bitcoin rises above $78K or some miners exit.
