Hard time for the Bitcoin miners: is the investment thesis breaking down?Bitcoin miners report, March 2024
In the first month after the launch of the ETFs the Bitcoin miners were doing fine. No stellar performance but at least there was no break down in the expected pattern of correlations. That's changing and not for the better. What's the state of play? Is it a great buying opportunity? Or is our investment thesis dead in the water?

The investment thesis is that in the coming bull market, the institutional money will want to own Bitcoin miners stocks in order to get exposure to BTC. The buying pressure coming from that demand will make it so that the Bitcoin miners stocks will deliver returns that are several times larger than Bitcoin itself over the same period. This is the bet we are tracking in our monthly miners report (since May 2023). The takeawayTwo months after the launch of the ETFs we can see a decline in the correlation strength between the miners and Bitcoin. But this decline is not dramatic for all the miners. Actually a few of them like Marathon or CleanSpark are barely affected. So while the ETFs are stealing liquidity from the miners (they are a second rate proxy now) the miners thesis is still alive. There are good reasons to think the weakness of the mining sector is only temporary. That means the current setup is a buying opportunity if you are not on this trade yet.
