Morgan Stanley Initiates Bitcoin Miner Coverage, Rates Cipher and TeraWulf Overweight, Marathon Underweight

Morgan Stanley has initiated coverage on major Bitcoin miners, framing them as infrastructure businesses rather than pure cryptocurrency plays. The bank assigned Overweight ratings to Cipher Mining and TeraWulf, citing their potential to transition into stable utility-like companies through long-term power contracts and site leasing—particularly to AI tenants. Cipher is seen as well-positioned for a potential “REIT endgame,” while TeraWulf’s management experience in power and infrastructure supports its positive outlook. In contrast, Marathon Digital received an Underweight rating due to its heavy dependence on Bitcoin price volatility, mining difficulty, and energy costs, making it a higher-risk investment. Morgan Stanley emphasizes that the infrastructure model offers more predictable income and deserves higher valuation multiples.
