#ETH走势分析 Recently, there's been a buzz in the mining community: has the cost to mine a single BTC surpassed $70,000? Some even claim the total cost has soared beyond $130,000. Is this a real industry dilemma or just an illusion created by data manipulation?



Let's look at the data sources first. PANews, citing CryptoRank statistics, reports that publicly listed mining companies have an average cash expenditure of around $74,600 to mine one Bitcoin. But if you factor in hidden costs like mining equipment depreciation and employee stock-based compensation, the total cost jumps straight to $137,800.

Meanwhile, Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas offers another perspective: Bitcoin surged 122% over the past year, outperforming most traditional assets. Even if future growth slows to an average annual rate of 50%, its long-term value remains impressive.

But here's a key detail—these "terrifying costs" are based on publicly listed, large-scale mining companies. They're highly regulated, have transparent finances, and must provide stock incentives to executives. Their cost structure is on a completely different level compared to small mines using cheap hydroelectric power. Simply put, this "average" might not represent the true industry landscape at all.

So here's the question: Do you think this talk of "negative margins" really reflects the survival pressure on major players, or is it just a numbers game skewed by public companies' compliance costs? Could miners with ridiculously low electricity costs actually be the key variable determining hashrate distribution? At current prices, how much longer can the miner ecosystem hold up?

The data only reflects the surface.

Miners are still quite profitable.
