Bitcoin Mining Profitability Improved in November, JPMorgan Says
The total market cap of bitcoin miners tracked by the bank jumped 52% from the month previous, the report said.
What to know:
- Bitcoin mining profitability rose in November, the report said.
- The total market cap of the 14 bitcoin miners that the bank tracks rose 52% from October.
- Network hashrate growth lagged the rally in bitcoin, the bank said.
Bitcoin (BTC) daily mining revenue and gross profit rose in November as the world's largest cryptocurrency hit record highs, but it is still about 50% below pre-halving levels, JPMorgan (JPM) said in a research report Monday.
"We estimate that bitcoin miners earned an average of $52,000 per EH/s in daily block reward revenue in November, up 24% from October," analysts Reginald Smith and Charles Pearce wrote.

The bank noted that transaction fees on the network spiked following the U.S. Nov. 5 presidential election and this provided some "hashprice relief." The hashprice is a measure of mining profitability.
The total market cap of the 14 publicly listed bitcoin miners in the bank's coverage surged 52% in November to $36.2 billion, the report said.
The average network hashrate rose 4% month-on-month to 731 exahash per second (EH/s), the bank noted, while mining difficulty increased 7% from October.
Hashrate refers to the total combined computational power used to mine and process transactions on a proof-of-work blockchain and is a proxy for competition in the industry and mining difficulty.
Bitcoin's annualized volatility rose to 62% in November, up from 42% the month before, the report added.
