Bitcoin Penambang Menderita Kerugian Lebih Dari $1 Miliar Di Q2 2022
After incurring a number of impairment losses brought on by the decline in cryptocurrency prices, the three biggest US publicly traded Bitcoin mining companies lost more than US$1 billion in the second quarter.
Bitcoin Miners In Deep RedIn the three months that ended June 30, Core Scientific Inc., Marathon Digital Holdings Inc., and Riot Blockchain Inc. all reported net losses of US$862 million, US$192 million, and US$366 million, respectively. Following the approximately 60% decline in the price of Bitcoin during the quarter, other large miners such Bitfarms Ltd. and Greenidge Generation Holdings Inc., which released results on Monday, were also obliged to write down the value of their holdings.
Sumber: BloombergAlthough there has been some relief in recent weeks for the shares of cryptocurrency mining companies, they remain significantly negative. In order to pay off debt and meet operating expenses in the most recent quarter, the miners were forced to sell some of the Bitcoin they had been hoarding. Through the third quarter, that persisted.
Bukan hanya para penambang yang mengalami kerugian besar pada kuartal terakhir; anggota lain dari sektor ini juga. Pertukaran cryptocurrency AS terbesar, Coinbase Global Inc., melaporkan kerugian sebesar US$1.1 miliar, dan MicroStrategy Inc. juga mengalami kerugian bersih lebih dari US$1 miliar.
Penambang publik top menambang 3,900 koin pada bulan Juni, tetapi menjual 14,600 di antaranya, menurut Mellerud. Pada bulan Juni, Core Scientific menjual sekitar 80% dari koinnya untuk membayar biaya operasional dan mendukung pertumbuhan.
Untuk tetap pelarut, para penambang menjual aset dan mesin pertambangan mereka dan mengambil lebih banyak utang. Marathon memperluas jalur kredit US$100 juta sebelumnya pada bulan Juli dengan membiayai kembali dengan pinjaman berjangka US$100 juta baru dari bank ramah cryptocurrency Silvergate Capital Corp. Selain itu, penambang menjual peralatan penambangannya seharga US$58 juta. Dengan B. Riley Principal Capital II, Core Scientific telah menandatangani perjanjian pembelian saham biasa senilai US$100 juta.
Public corporations with significant Bitcoin holdings on their balance sheets have been warned by the US Securities and Exchange Commission not to exclude price fluctuations when reporting results. Losses are not realized until the tokens are actually sold.
