Tether reported a historic $4 billion in net income for 2023.
What is extraordinary is that only ~60 people work at Tether, resulting in unprecedented per-employee profit numbers by any industry standard.
Bitcoin’s transaction fees are soaring for the 3rd time in 2023.
User fees now comprise 25% of miners' revenue, significantly above the 3% average since 2022, indicating that the new bitcoin use cases introduced this year continue to increase mining incentives.
The high-beta properties of bitcoin mining stocks are now on full display.
Following a 21% bitcoin uptick since November 1st, sizable miners have returned 48% on average, with Cleanspark's 116% jump leading the way.
Cleanspark has shined on the public mining scene lately through its industry-leading 46% stock return.
Behind the curtains, a bulk purchase of the next-generation S21 miner has raised Cleanspark's growth target from 16 EH/s to over 20 EH/s and enchanted its efficiency potential.
Public miners have entered a period of suppressed returns.
Mining stocks have only seen a moderate 6% average return since October 1st — a period where BTC has shown strength by climbing 41%.

@Umbisam Indeed. The company has executed well in recent months, both in terms of hashrate growth and efficiency improvements.
I also expect several other miners to upgrade their fleets in the coming months ahead of the halving.
Large variances exist between public miners' fleet efficiencies.
Marathon displays an industry-leading 25.2 J/TH efficiency, well below the 32.2 J/TH network average, whereas Terawulf clocks in at 37.6 J/TH.

@CryptoWinnies Agree! Both energy costs and efficiency are crucial for miners seeking to minimize production costs.
Thanks for the tip! Such a comparison would indeed showcase interesting differences between miners.
Correction! I mistakenly stated Terawulf's efficiency as 37.6 J/TH in the chart. In reality, the company has an average efficiency of 27.6 J/TH as of September 30th, which is substantially better!
