Bitcoin mining — hash rate, halving economics, and public miners
Bitcoin mining secures the world's largest blockchain, and a thin layer of public miners — Riot Platforms, Marathon Digital, CleanSpark, Hut 8, Core Scientific, Cipher, Iris Energy — drives a meaningful slice of crypto-equity coverage. Our mining news desk tracks network hash rate and difficulty adjustments, ASIC efficiency and prices (Antminer S21, Whatsminer M60), mining pool distribution (Foundry, AntPool, ViaBTC), energy mix and grid integration, miner balance sheets, hash-rate hedging derivatives, halving impact on revenue per terahash, and the geographies — Texas, Paraguay, the UAE, Bhutan — where mining is expanding or being squeezed out.

About Mining coverage on CoinArticle
Does this section also cover Ethereum or altcoin mining?
Almost exclusively Bitcoin. Ethereum has been proof-of-stake since The Merge in September 2022 and no longer has miners. Other proof-of-work chains (Litecoin, Dogecoin merge-mined with LTC, Kaspa, Monero) appear when materially relevant but receive less coverage than the Bitcoin mining industry.
How often is this section updated?
Our pipeline runs every hour, so newly clustered stories typically appear within an hour of being published by the source outlets. We deduplicate, merge related coverage, and tag every article with categories, sentiment, and impact scores.
Where does the reporting come from?
Each article is an AI-merged synthesis of multiple primary sources — major crypto publications such as CoinDesk, Cointelegraph, The Block, Decrypt, Bitcoin Magazine, CryptoSlate, The Defiant, and Blockworks. Original-source URLs are listed at the bottom of every article so you can verify every claim against the primary reporting.
