The Future Of Bitcoin Mining According To The Industry&#39;s Leading Players

Cipher Mining Inc

<p>Following President <strong>Joe Biden&#8217;s</strong> decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39885549/biden-withdraws-from-2024-race-what-that-means-for-solana-etf-prospects">withdraw from the 2024 presidential race</a>, a poll conducted by The Wall Street Journal indicates that former President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> has a slight edge over Vice President <strong>Kamala Harris</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>What Happened</strong>: The poll <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/harris-erases-trumps-lead-wsj-poll-finds-e286144d?mod=e2tw">results</a> published on Friday revealed that Trump has the support of 49% of registered voters, while Harris trails slightly behind with 47%. The WSJ poll, conducted from July 23-25, surveyed 1,000 registered voters with a margin of error&nbsp;of ±3.1 percentage points.</p>
<p>The latest poll also showed a significant rise in Harris&#8217;s favorability among registered voters, jumping 11 points to 46%. In comparison, Trump&#8217;s favorability was at 47% and Biden&#8217;s at 39%.</p>

North Korea Says &#8216;We Do Not Care,&#8217; Expresses Nuclear Readiness Amid Rising Tension With US</a></strong></p>
<p>In a ballot test featuring<strong> Robert F. Kennedy Jr.</strong> alongside other independent and third-party candidates, Harris secured 45% of the vote, while Trump received 44%. Kennedy garnered just 4%, and 5% of voters remained undecided. </p>
<p>In the last poll, Biden trailed by six points in the multicandidate contest, the report noted.</p>
<p><strong>Why It Matters</strong>: The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39973800/trump-vs-harris-vice-president-gains-ground-lost-by-joe-biden-in-swing-states">race between Trump and Harris</a>&nbsp;is shaping up to be a close one, with Harris making up ground lost by Biden in head-to-head matchups against Trump. </p>
<p>President Biden&#8217;s campaign was plagued by a lackluster debate performance and concerns about his age and mental fitness, leading to his withdrawal last week.</p>
<p>Since Biden&#8217;s exit, Harris has garnered several key endorsements from her party, experienced a surge in fundraising, and secured enough delegate commitments to secure the nomination.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Trump has been&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39947274/trump-takes-aim-at-kamala-harris-in-first-rally-post-bidens-exit-calls-her-a-radical-left-lunatic-vp">criticizing Harris</a>&nbsp;on immigration and inflation issues, labeling her as a &#8220;radical-left lunatic.&#8221;</p>

(KSS) - Analyzing Kohl's's Short Interest

<p><a href="https://www.ft.com/content/d67a6325-d316-4bb8-80e3-1d51429b3393">https://www.ft.com/content/d67a6325-d316-4bb8-80e3-1d51429b3393</a></p>
<p>Howard Schultz, the former Starbucks chief executive, is opposing a potential settlement between the company and activist investor Elliott Investment Management, in the latest sign of tension at the world's largest coffee chain. The quasi-founder of Starbucks has made his opposition to an Elliott settlement known to some board members, said people familiar with the matter. Schultz had criticised its leadership publicly in recent months despite no longer having a formal role at the company. He remains Starbucks's sixth-largest shareholder, with a holding of about $1.6bn. Elliott, known for being an aggressive investor, has built a sizeable minority stake in the $86bn company and has privately pushed for change in recent weeks, including board representation, in an attempt to revive Starbucks' lacklustre performance. Schultz and Elliott have not been in contact over this matter, one person said. Companies under pressure from activists such as Elliott often seek to negotiate agreements with them rather than face a public fight, but the status of any settlement discussions between Starbucks and Elliott remain unclear. "Howard left the board a year ago and in his limited contact with the board since, his input has always focused on the values and culture of Starbucks as the primary driver of success and performance," a person close to Schultz said. The billionaire former coffee machine salesman led the company three separate times — for about 14 years starting in 1986, then again from 2008 to 2017, and most recently as interim CEO from 2022 to 2023.&nbsp; He was succeeded as CEO last year by Laxman Narasimhan, who joined from UK-based consumer health and hygiene group Reckitt. Schultz remains chair emeritus but left the company's board and has said he does not have access to financial information.</p>
<p><br />Schultz, who has said he has no interest in returning as CEO, has remained vocal on the sidelines. This spring he criticised the company's performance on LinkedIn, penning an open letter that said senior leaders and board members needed "to spend more time with those who wear the green apron". He also made an appearance on business podcast Acquired in June, speaking about the history of Starbucks and his recommendations for management. "It hasn't been a great year for Starbucks," he said. "In fairness to Laxman, there's a lot of external issues that have contributed to the pressure, like on every company. But the company has not executed the way that I think it should have." "If the company is doing a drift towards mediocrity, I hold leadership, and the board responsible for that," he said later in the three-hour podcast.<br /><br />Starbucks's share price has fallen about 20 per cent since the start of 2024. The company cut its financial guidance in January and again in April, when it reported a 4 per cent decline in quarterly comparable store sales that was the first such drop since late 2020. It is due to announce results for its fiscal third quarter on Tuesday. Starbucks has made changes to its board over the past year. Three new members, including the CEOs of YouTube and T-Mobile, Neal Mohan and Mike Sievert, joined earlier this year. This spring, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella left the board. Spokespeople for Schultz, Starbucks and Elliott declined to comment.</p>

<p>The <strong>Bitcoin </strong>(<a href="https://investorplace.com/cryptocurrency/btc-usd/"><strong>BTC-USD</strong></a>) mining industry is set for notable changes in 2024, presenting both challenges and opportunities for investors and Bitcoin mining stocks. The Bitcoin <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/consensus-magazine/2023/07/24/through-it-all-the-bitcoin-mining-industry-looks-set-for-growth/">halving</a> event in April 2024 reduced block rewards from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC, significantly impacting revenue models.</p>



<p>As mining becomes less profitable in higher-cost regions, mining operations are expected to respond by shifting toward areas with cheaper electricity, such as South America and Africa. This could decentralize the global hashrate, previously concentrated in North America following China&rsquo;s mining ban in 2021.</p>



<p>Furthermore, a notable trend among miners is the shift toward utilizing their infrastructure for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. This diversification strategy leverages miners&rsquo; existing data center capabilities to meet the growing demand for AI and cloud computing services. The global expenses associated with AI data center infrastructure are expected to exceed $76 billion by 2028.</p>



<p>So here are three of the best Bitcoin mining stocks that I feel could leverage this shift in geographical hash rate and the pivot to data center use for AI.</p>



<h2>Clarkspark (CLSK)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/clsk1600-300x169.png" alt="In this photo illustration, the CleanSpark (CLSK) logo seen displayed on a smartphone screen"><div>Source: rafapress / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>CleanSpark</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/clsk-stock-quote/"><strong>CLSK</strong></a>) focuses on sustainable Bitcoin mining using renewable energy sources. The company is integrating AI to optimize energy use and improve mining efficiency.</p>



<p>CleanSpark&rsquo;s strong financial results and growth <a href="https://investors.cleanspark.com/news/news-details/2024/CleanSpark-Reports-Second-Quarter-FY2024-Financial-Results/default.aspx">trajectory</a> also suggest it is positioned to invest in new opportunities related to AI. In the second quarter, CleanSpark reported revenue of $111.8 million (up 163% from a year ago), net income of $126.7 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $181.8 million. The company has a solid balance sheet with nearly $700 million in cash and Bitcoin holdings.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Analysts are highly bullish on CleanSpark&rsquo;s <a href="https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/clsk/statistics/">prospects</a>. The consensus rating for the stock is a &ldquo;strong buy&rdquo; with an average price target of $20.11. This represents a significant upside of over 30% from the current stock price. The most optimistic analyst sees the stock reaching $28, which would be an 82% return. This then makes it one of those Bitcoin mining stocks to consider.</p>



<h2>Bitfarms (BITF)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/bitf1600-300x169.png" alt="Bitcoin and crypto mining farm. Big data center. High tech server computers at work. Bitfarms (BITF) mines crypto."><div>Source: PHOTOCREO Michal Bednarek / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Bitfarms</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bitf-stock-quote/"><strong>BITF</strong></a>) is focusing on decentralizing its mining capacity and using renewable energy sources. The company is integrating AI to manage and optimize its mining operations.</p>



<p>Bitfarms delivered solid Q1 2024 financial <a href="https://investor.bitfarms.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/242/bitfarms-reports-first-quarter-2024-results">results</a> despite a challenging macro environment. Revenue grew 67% year-over-year to $50 million, driven by a 9% sequential increase in Bitcoin production. The company&rsquo;s gross mining margin expanded to 59%, up from 52% in Q4 2023 and 41% in Q1 2023.</p>



<p>In Q1, Bitfarms secured an additional 24,000 latest-generation Bitmain miners, bringing its total contracted miners for 2024 delivery to 88,000. The company also doubled its contracted power capacity at its Paraguay site, providing significant room for long-term growth. As AI tools become increasingly sophisticated, they could be used to optimize mining hardware settings, predict network difficulty adjustments, and even identify the most profitable mining coins.</p>



<p>Analysts are quite bullish on Bitfarms&rsquo; prospects, with a <a href="https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/bitf/forecast/">consensus</a> &ldquo;strong buy&rdquo; rating and an average price target of $4. This represents 50% upside from current levels and speaks to the disconnect between Bitfarms&rsquo; fundamental progress and its still-depressed valuation. At a forward price-to-sales ratio of just 5.2x based on 2024 revenue estimates, Bitfarms looks attractively priced.</p>



<h2>Cipher Mining (CIFR)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/bitcoin1600-300x169.jpg" alt="man in glasses holding a coin that has the Bitcoin (BTC-USD) logo"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div><p><strong>Cipher Mining</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/cifr-stock-quote/"><strong>CIFR</strong></a>) operates industrial-scale Bitcoin mining data centers and is leveraging AI to enhance its operational efficiency and profitability.</p>



<p>Cipher Mining delivered outstanding financial <a href="https://investors.ciphermining.com/news-releases/news-release-details/cipher-mining-provides-first-quarter-2024-business-update">results</a> in the first quarter. The company reported GAAP net income of $40 million and non-GAAP adjusted earnings of $63 million, a significant improvement from the net loss in the first quarter of 2023. Revenues surged to $48 million, driven by Cipher&rsquo;s expanding mining operations.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Looking ahead, Cipher Mining has laid out an ambitious growth plan that could drive substantial increases in hashrate and Bitcoin production. The company is on track to reach 9.3 EH/s by the end of Q3 2024, up from its current 7.7 EH/s. More impressively, Cipher aims to reach 25.1 EH/s by the end of 2025, which would represent a more than 3x increase from current levels.</p>



<p>This growth is underpinned by Cipher&rsquo;s aggressive expansion of its mining facilities. The company recently broke ground on its massive 300 MW data center at Black Pearl, which is now slated to be fully built out in 2025. Cipher is also adding 30 MW of capacity at each of its Bear and Chief JV data centers in Q2 2024.&nbsp;</p>



<p>It could then be one of those Bitcoin mining stocks to consider for investors bullish on both Bitcoin and AI.</p>
