Bitcoin Miner Stocks: Exit Or Ride The Wave?

The Bitcoin miners thesis is simple. 

The profitability of the Bitcoin mining companies strongly depends on Bitcoin's price. That make the Bitcoin miners stocks closely tied to BTC and thus good proxies for getting exposure to the Bitcoin market. 

At the same time those miners stocks are small. Much smaller than Bitcoin. So capital inflows in the miners market tend to create outsized returns.

The investment thesis is that in the coming bull market, the institutional money will want to own Bitcoin miners stocks in order to get exposure to BTC. The buying pressure coming from that demand will make it so that the Bitcoin miners stocks will deliver returns that are several times larger than Bitcoin itself over the same period.

This is the bet we are tracking in our monthly miners report.

The Takeaway

Bitcoin miners are at a pivotal moment as Bitcoin approaches six figures. Our correlation analysis shows miners starting to outpace Bitcoin's gains since September, suggesting our long-term thesis might finally play out. 

For investors looking to exit, several major miners have reached attractive mean reversion levels. 

For those willing to hold, current market conditions hint at the potential for significant outperformance.
