The latest third-quarter mining report from CoinShares reveals that the production cost of each Bitcoin has reached record levels, with a cost of approximately $49,500 when considering cash expenses alone and an average of $96,100 when factoring in depreciation and stock compensation. Despite these high costs, mining companies are expanding their infrastructure and planning to invest more in anticipation of future price increases. However, high interest rates and market volatility have limited financing options for mining companies, leading many to raise funds through stock issuance. CoinShares recommends that mining companies diversify their revenues by investing in artificial intelligence technology. The report also highlights the potential for a significant reduction in carbon emissions if the mining industry transitions to more environmentally friendly energy sources.
