Bitcoin Miners Navigate Post-Halving TurbulenceBitcoin miners adapt to new network dynamics, and a look into the stabilization of mining activities and the evolving role of Layer 2 protocols.IntroductionIn the last 2 months, the Bitcoin ecosystem has experienced significant fluctuations in its fundamentals, while price has stayed relatively close to ATHs. Amidst these market shifts, Bitcoin miners have demonstrated remarkable resilience, outperforming bitcoin itself in several metrics despite facing the challenges posed by the halving event and subsequent market reactions. This report delves into the performance of public Bitcoin miners, highlighting their adaptability in a rapidly changing economic environment and examining the stabilization of mining activities post-halving. Additionally, it explores recent trends in network traffic, focusing on the normalization of transaction fees and the impact of Layer 2 token protocols. Through detailed investor insights, we provide strategic perspectives on the implications of these developments for the price and the broader market. Public Bitcoin Miners' Performance and ResilienceIn the past 50 days, Bitcoin went from a new ATH at $73,794 on March 14 to likely finding a bottom at $56,500 on May 1. A total of a 23% drop. Throughout this time, the market also experienced significant outflows from the spot ETFs and the uncertainty about miners around the halving. Despite this, miners weathered the storm fairly well with most outperforming bitcoin since the halving. On average, public miners tracked were down -6.3% in dollar terms, but up 5.1% in BTC terms. Best and Worst PerformersBest: Northern Data (NB2) led the group with a significant 17.73% increase in USD terms, and a 32.20% increase in Bitcoin terms.

Worst: HIVE experienced the most considerable decline, down -21.7% and -12.1% in bitcoin terms, despite holding over 2000 bitcoins on their balance sheet. They have recently become more involved in providing compute for AI by moving their old Ethereum miners to that new revenue stream. Investor Insights
