Bitcoin Miners: Undervalued Megawatt Giants?
Manage episode 477415614 series 3570269
Bitcoin mining stocks are trading at steep discounts compared to their infrastructure value, with most miners showing significant upside potential based on their megawatt capacity at current market valuations.
• Mining stocks down approximately 25% in the past month despite Bitcoin price remaining relatively stable
• Iren achieves 40 exahash milestone, confirming they're on track for their 50 exahash target by mid-2025
• Morgan Stanley analysis suggests Bitcoin mining infrastructure valued at approximately $5 per watt in recent transactions
• Applied to current miners, this shows potential upside of 2-5x current market caps for many companies
• Iren's 660 megawatts valued at $3.3B using this metric versus $1.2B current market cap
• Smaller miners like Saluna show even larger gaps, with 75MW potentially worth $375M versus $8M market cap
• Data center REITs and companies like CoreWeave ($18B valuation) demonstrate premium valuations for similar infrastructure
• Current Bitcoin mining economics remain challenging with hash price around $38-39 per petahash/day
• Only the most efficient miners like Iron (15J/TH) positioned to generate meaningful profits in current environment
• Increasing investment in AI infrastructure including Nvidia's $500B US commitment highlights potential value of mining company assets
