In response to tightening profit margins driven by increased competition and soaring energy costs, U.S. Bitcoin miners are adopting new strategies to maintain profitability. Companies such as Mara Holdings, Riot Platforms, and CleanSpark have collectively raised over $3.7 billion since November through convertible notes to acquire more Bitcoin. This approach aims to build reserves and expand capacity, especially as the recent halving of Bitcoin rewards in April has raised production costs to approximately $106,000 per Bitcoin, with current trading prices around $102,175.

However, the increasing demand for energy, particularly from AI developers, complicates miners' operations. To mitigate these challenges, Mara Holdings plans to offshore half of its operations by 2028, while others are exploring opportunities to lease data center capacity to AI firms, leveraging their existing resources more efficiently. These strategic adaptations highlight the dynamic nature of the cryptocurrency mining industry as it navigates evolving market conditions.
