Bitcoin miners turn to renewable energy amid profit margin squeeze

Bitcoin mining companies are increasingly adopting renewable energy sources to reduce operational costs as profitability faces severe pressure. The hash price, a key metric for miner earnings, has fallen to approximately $39.4 per PH/s/day, below the breakeven threshold of $40. Recent projects include a 20 MW solar-powered facility in Texas by Sangha Renewables, a 30 MW hydroelectric mining operation in Ethiopia by Phoenix Group, and a wind-powered site collaboration in Texas between Canaan and Soluna. Canaan is also developing AI-enhanced, energy-efficient mining rigs. These moves come as the Bitcoin network’srate continues hitting all-time highs, exceeding 1 zetahash, intensifying competition and energy consumption. Rising costs have already led some operators, like Tether in Uruguay, to exit mining operations.

A Major Bitcoin Pivot? Realized Loss Drops Below The Key Threshold – Here’s What It Means

Bitcoin's price nears $90,000 amid renewed volatility, while key on-chain metrics suggest a potential shift in market sentiment. According to analyst Ali Martinez, the realized loss metric for BTC traders has dropped below the critical -37% threshold to -18%, indicating that panic selling may be subsiding. Historically, such declines have signaled buy-the-dip opportunities and a transition from capitulation to accumulation. However, recovery remains constrained by a lack of incoming liquidity. Stablecoin inflows into exchanges have fallen 50% since August, reflecting weakened demand. For a sustained bullish trend, new liquidity is essential—current minor rebounds are due to reduced selling pressure rather than increased buying interest.

Hate Ticketmaster? Onchain RWA tickets may succeed where regulators haven’t

TIX, a decentralized settlement layer for the live-events industry, has emerged from stealth to apply DeFi lending and onchain infrastructure to transform ticketing. It has facilitated over $8 million in ticket sales and $2 million in venue financing through KYD Labs, a consumer-facing platform backed by a16z. TIX tokenizes tickets as real-world assets (RWAs), enabling venues to access upfront capital from multiple sources, artists to sell directly, and fans to benefit from lower fees and transparent resales. Despite competition, Ticketmaster itself has adopted blockchain, issuing nearly 100 million NFT tickets since 2022. Proponents argue that onchain ticketing reduces fraud, increases transparency, and improves control in secondary markets.

Short-term Bitcoin traders were profitable for 66% of 2025: Will profits rise in 2026?

Short-term Bitcoin (BTC) traders were profitable for 66% of 2025, despite BTC posting a negative year-to-date return and struggling to surpass $100,000. The key support level was the STH realized price at $81,000, which acted as a sentiment pivot between panic and recovery phases. BTC’s price repeatedly interacted with this cost basis, leading to alternating periods of profit and loss. STH unrealized losses narrowed from -28% to -12%, indicating reduced selling pressure and potential market stabilization. If BTC holds above $81,000, the recent correction may be ending, setting the stage for a possible expansion phase in 2026.
