- HIVE and MARA expand Bitcoin output as mining economics weaken — this brief
HIVE and MARA each produced more 
Bitcoin during the reported period, but their mining revenue declined as cryptocurrency prices weakened. Cointelegraph also reported that electricity costs increased for both companies, preventing additional output from translating into higher earnings.
The reported divergence between production and revenue reflects the miners’ operating backdrop: more Bitcoin was mined, but lower realized crypto prices and rising power expenses reduced the value generated by that output. Both companies are also expanding their AI infrastructure businesses, adding a non-mining area of investment as mining conditions become less favorable.
Cointelegraph is the only outlet providing coverage in the supplied material, and the available summary does not include HIVE’s or MARA’s exact production, revenue, electricity-cost, or AI-investment figures. As a result, the direction of the changes is clear, but the size of the difference between Bitcoin output and mining revenue cannot be quantified from the supplied information. Live market data reinforce the pressure surrounding the miners’ results. Bitcoin was priced at $74,771, down 0.58% over 24 hours and 2.91% over seven days, while its market capitalization stood at $1.5 trillion. Mempool.space reported Bitcoin network hashrate at 963 EH/s and difficulty at 148.4T. The total crypto market capitalization was $2.56T, with the broader market described as flat and the Fear & Greed index at 32, indicating a Fear reading. Future attention is likely to center on whether higher production continues to outpace revenue gains while electricity costs and AI infrastructure spending develop.
