SOURCE EVIDENCE

"Bitcoin miners have faced headwinds this year — and last — as the price of the largest cryptocurrency has dropped in price but the costs and difficulty to mine the coin have grown. Net loss in the second quarter of 2026 was $57.2 million, compared with a profit of $3.4 million in the same period last year."

"Some investors are questioning whether credit appetite for these projects is approaching its limits and which developers can fund their pipelines without meaningful dilution, expensive debt or additional support from customers and strategic partners. That may create a near-term overhang for the group."
