Bitcoin Price (Cryptography: BTC) It recovered on Tuesday as investors looked back on risk-on trade. The market feared a rise in trade tensions between the US and China, and stock prices fell on Monday. Investors looking for “safe” alternatives are pushing gold and Bitcoin even higher, with the biggest cryptocurrency increasing by 5.2% as of 2:10pm today.
Crypto Miners continued their move with Terawulf (Nasdaq: Wolf) 20.9% jumps, riot platform (NASDAQ: Riot) Rising 14.3%, and Mara Holdings (Nasdaq: Mara) Mountain climbing 12.2%. Stocks are currently up 17.6%, 12.1% and 11.1%, respectively.

The odd thing about the recent market movement is how extraordinary they are. Usually, when stocks fall, investors are fleeing to the Department of Finance’s safety, but the Department of Finance is also declining.

Companies that mine Bitcoin have two ways to profit from rising cryptocurrency prices. First, their revenue and return on investment are in the form of tokens. So, as prices rise, revenue increases and profitability increases.
Also, most companies have begun storing Bitcoin on their balance sheets. Mara Holdings currently owns over 46,000 Bitcoins, with Riot saying it has 19,223. Terawulf had little balance sheet retention and disclosed only $274.5 million in cash, equivalents and Bitcoin at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024.
The utilised nature of Bitcoin Miners can be both good and bad for investors. When it rises, miners produce large returns, but if it drops, it can lead to large losses.
While the market is worried about what will happen in the economy and where they find safety, the Securities and Exchange Commission today saw Paul Atkins sworn in and there was a change in leadership. Atkins is considered code-friendly. This contrasts with Gary Gensler, who didn’t set clear rules and had no large fans in the crypto industry.
However, the new SEC chairs could have more impacts outside of Bitcoin, where there is more usefulness and confusion. I don’t think the fate of the code will be changed by the SEC. At best, it is a gold alternative, not a more efficient form of money.
