According to @rovercrc, U.S.-listed Bitcoin (BTC) mining companies experienced one of their best quarters on record in Q1 2025, with JPMorgan reporting an aggregate gross profit of approximately $2.0 billion and 53% margins. Despite this success, TheMinerMag highlights mounting pressure from a record network hashrate and difficulty, with production costs projected to exceed $70,000 per BTC. This has created a significant performance divergence among miners. For instance, JPMorgan noted that IREN (IREN) achieved the lowest all-in cash cost per coin at around $36,400, while Marathon Digital (MARA) posted the highest at approximately $72,600. In response to rising competition, miners like MARA and CleanSpark (CLSK) are aggressively expanding their hashrate. This operational divergence is reflected in the market, as TheMinerMag notes that mining equities are decoupling from Bitcoin's price, with investors focusing more on individual business models and efficiency, leading to varied stock performance among companies like IREN, Core Scientific (CORZ), and Bitfarms (BITF).

According to @rovercrc, Marathon Digital (MARA) is approaching a significant milestone, holding nearly 49,940 Bitcoin (BTC), valued at approximately $5.3 billion, making it the second-largest publicly traded BTC holder. The company reported a 25% decline in blocks won in June due to weather-related issues but aims to increase its hash rate to 75 exahash by year-end. In parallel, a JPMorgan report highlights that the first quarter of 2025 was one of the most profitable periods for U.S.-listed Bitcoin miners, with an aggregate gross profit of $2.0 billion and 53% margins. The report noted that while MARA mined the most Bitcoin for the ninth consecutive quarter, it also had the highest production cost at around $72,600 per coin. Conversely, IREN achieved the highest gross profit and the lowest cost per coin at about $36,400. JPMorgan maintains an overweight rating on CleanSpark (CLSK), IREN, and Riot Platforms (RIOT), with a neutral rating on MARA.

According to @GreeksLive, Australian Bitcoin (BTC) miner IREN has successfully reached its midyear hashrate goal of 50 exahashes per second (EH/s), a significant increase from 31 EH/s at the end of last year. The source states this growth is primarily due to its 750MW facility in Texas. Following this mining milestone, IREN is now shifting focus to its 'Horizon 1' project, a 50MW AI data center, signaling a strategic expansion into high-growth computing markets. In separate news impacting the digital asset space, crypto exchange Gemini has started offering tokenized stocks to its European Union customers, beginning with shares of the major Bitcoin holder, MicroStrategy (MSTR). The source reports this initiative is a partnership with Dinari, a firm specializing in tokenizing real-world assets, reflecting a growing trend of bridging traditional finance with blockchain technology.

According to @bubblemaps, a JPMorgan research report indicates that U.S.-listed Bitcoin (BTC) mining companies experienced one of their best quarters on record in Q1 2025, achieving an aggregate gross profit of approximately $2.0 billion with 53% margins. The report, by analysts Reginald Smith and Charles Pearce, highlights IREN (IREN) as earning the most gross profit for the first time and having the lowest all-in cash cost per coin at around $36,400. In contrast, Marathon Digital (MARA) had the highest cost per coin at about $72,600, despite mining the most bitcoin. JPMorgan issued an overweight rating on CleanSpark (CLSK), IREN, and Riot Platforms (RIOT), while maintaining a neutral rating for Cipher Mining (CIFR) and MARA. This strong performance occurred despite a broader market downturn, with the CoinDesk 20 Index falling 4.1%.

According to @StockMKTNewz, Bitcoin mining machine manufacturer Canaan Inc. (CAN) is winding down its artificial intelligence (AI) chip business to refocus on its core crypto operations. The AI unit, which generated minimal revenue ($900,000) but accounted for 15% of operating expenses, was deemed strategically misaligned. This move comes as Canaan's stock has fallen 71% year-to-date. In contrast, a JPMorgan report highlights that Q1 2025 was one of the best quarters on record for U.S.-listed Bitcoin miners, who collectively earned about $2.0 billion in gross profit. The report noted that IREN (IREN) achieved the highest gross profit and the lowest all-in cash cost per coin at approximately $36,400, while Marathon Digital (MARA) mined the most bitcoin but had the highest cost per coin at around $72,600. JPMorgan maintains an overweight rating on CleanSpark (CLSK), IREN, and Riot Platforms (RIOT), with a neutral rating on Cipher Mining (CIFR) and MARA.

According to Farside Investors, CleanSpark (CLSK) has achieved the largest market share gain among major listed Bitcoin miners, with a 7.3% increase in production market share. Following CLSK, Riot Platforms (RIOT) and Iris Energy (IREN) saw gains of 5.2% and 5.0%, respectively. These figures highlight CLSK's strong performance in expanding its mining capacity relative to competitors.

According to Farside Investors, Iris Energy (IREN) reported a production of 222 Bitcoin for July 2024. This update provides key insights into the company's mining performance for the month.
