BitFuFu, a prominent player in the cryptocurrency mining industry, has announced a sizeable expansion of its mining capacity. This decision comes despite a staggering 168% surge in Bitcoin mining expenses following the halving event.
The recent Bitcoin halving event has seriously impacted operational costs for BTC miners. After the halving, the average cost to mine each BTC surged to approximately $51,887, compared to $19,344 in the same period last year. This increase can be attributed to higher electricity and operational expenses, as well as the reduced BTC rewards due to the halving.
In Q2 2024, the BTC mining firm saw an impressive 70% surge in total revenue, reaching $129.4 million, compared to $76.3 million during the same period in 2023, according to Coin Telegraph.
The Rising Costs
Bitcoin mining costs have increased since the most recent halving, which occurred in May 2020. The halving event, which takes place approximately every four years, reduces the block reward for miners by 50%. As a result, miners must work harder to earn the same amount of Bitcoin.
BitFuFu, known for its efficient mining operations, has not been immune to these cost increases. Electricity costs, hardware maintenance, and cooling expenses have all contributed to the upward trend. However, the company remains committed to its mission of supporting the Bitcoin network.
