Bitcoin Miner Losses
Annual miner income: $82K per coin x 165K coins = $13.5 billion
Annual energy cost: 182 terawatts x $0.105 / kwatt = $19.1 billion
Annual miner loss: $5.6 billion
Miners have been losing money for one year now, and $5.6 billion is well within the range I predicted. These companies play financial games to create the illusion of profitability but check the EPS for the top ten miners. And I'm highly suspicious of the Iris Energy EPS.
