Marathon Digital CEO warns: without energy innovations, Bitcoin mining may not survive the 2028 halving
Marathon Digital CEO Fred Thiel stated that the mining industry is facing rising costs, increasing competition, and declining profitability.
The main threat is high electricity prices. Without cheap and reliable energy sources, many miners could be forced to shut down after the next halving, which will reduce block rewards to 1.5 BTC per block.
To survive, companies are already shifting to adjacent areas — artificial intelligence and high-performance computing (HPC) — turning their data centers into versatile infrastructures.

Bitfarms cuts Bitcoin mining operations — shares drop 18%
Bitcoin mining firm Bitfarms announced a gradual wind-down of part of its mining operations, sending its shares down 18% in a single day. The company cited rising energy costs and changing market conditions that have made some facilities unprofitable.
Investors saw this as a warning sign for the mining sector — with Bitcoin’s price falling and costs rising, mining profitability continues to decline.

Investors saw this as a warning sign for the mining sector — with Bitcoin’s price falling and costs rising, mining profitability continues to decline.
Bernstein analysts stated that Bitcoin’s recent decline is linked to fears of a four-year cyclical peak rather than weakening fundamentals.
According to them, the nearly 25% drop from the $126,000 all-time high should be viewed as a correction.
Bernstein added that investors are taking profits early in anticipation of a weaker fourth quarter.

Strategy Faces Possible Index Removal
According to Bloomberg, Michael Saylor’s Strategy Inc. is at risk of being excluded from major indices like MSCI USA and Nasdaq 100 — a decision is expected by January 15, 2026.
Over the past six months, BTC fell ~23%, while Strategy’s stock dropped ~57%.
If removed, the company could face $2.8B in outflows from MSCI-linked funds and up to $8.8B if other index providers follow.
Despite growing pressure, it’s unlikely Saylor will sell BTC — the company can still rely on refinancing or issuing new debt backed by its Bitcoin reserves. But given current market conditions… anything is possible.

BlackRock: Bitcoin remains primarily a capital-preservation tool
Robert Mitchnick, head of digital assets at BlackRock, noted that BTC currently functions more as a store of value rather than a global payment system — it lacks advanced L2 solutions such as the Lightning Network.
According to Mitchnick, Bitcoin should be viewed as a long-term asset, and investors shouldn’t try to predict short-term market moves.

The market feels like it hit the snooze button today – charts barely moving, everything sluggish and quiet. Yet $OPEN is writing its own story, climbing over 12% while volume explodes more than 50% in a market that’s mostly frozen. Moves like this don’t happen by accident – smart money is clearly stepping in.
Now with the next 5 million $OPEN buyback cycle kicking off, things are about to get even more exciting. $OPEN isn’t just talking the talk, it’s running real revenue-backed buybacks. When a token shows this kind of strength even before the buyback officially starts, it usually means the next move will surprise everyone. This is how a strong reputation is built, right in front of the entire market’s eyes.
