Breaking down Bitcoin mining’s cost of production
Quick Take
- Our analysis of 11 mining companies’ income statements shows their realistic costs for mining 1 bitcoin range between $4.2k to $14.2k.
- Factoring in other cash-based operating expenses, we get a further cost range between $8.2k to nearly $30k.
- That suggests energy costs no longer necessarily make up the largest part of a Bitcoin mining business as the industry grows industrialized.
- Meanwhile, stock-based payments have become a popular method for mining firms to cover parts of their operating expenses.
