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.

In 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.

Although 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.

不仅矿工上个季度亏损巨大; 该部门的其他成员也是如此。 美国最大的加密货币交易所 Coinbase Global Inc. 报告亏损 1.1 亿美元,MicroStrategy Inc. 也净亏损超过 1 亿美元。

根据 Mellerud 的说法,顶级公共矿工在 3,900 月份开采了 14,600 枚硬币,但卖出了 80 枚。 XNUMX 月,Core Scientific 出售了大约 XNUMX% 的代币以支付运营费用和支持增长。

为了保持偿付能力,矿工们正在出售他们的资产和矿机并承担更多债务。 Marathon 在 100 月份扩大了之前的 100 亿美元信贷额度,通过对加密货币友好的银行 Silvergate Capital Corp 提供新的 58 亿美元定期贷款进行再融资。此外,该矿商以 100 万美元的价格出售了其采矿设备。 Core Scientific 与 B. Riley Principal Capital II 签署了一份价值 XNUMX 亿美元的普通股购买协议。

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.
