In recent months, Bitcoin has experienced a remarkable surge, with its price catapulting from $16,625 in January to over $42,000 in early December, marking an impressive year-to-date increase of over 150%. Notably, within the daily timeframe on Tuesday, December 19, Bitcoin hit a peak of $43,230, showcasing its robust momentum.
Crypto mining stocks, representing shares in companies intricately involved in the crypto mining process, have become a focal point for investors. These companies deploy powerful computers to solve intricate mathematical problems, leading to the creation or "mining" of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
Typically, as Bitcoin experiences an upward trajectory, the stocks of these mining companies tend to follow suit, delivering amplified returns. The correlation between their stock price movements and the volatility of the underlying crypto assets being mined is evident.
With this in mind, let's look into four BTC mining stocks that could be poised to gain from bitcoin's resent rally.
Metavesco, Inc. (OTC:MVCO)
Metavesco, a web3 enterprise and digital asset innovator, stands at the forefront of the evolving cryptocurrency landscape. The company's multifaceted approach involves crypto liquidity provision through decentralized exchanges like Uniswap, token farming via Proof of Stake protocols, and Bitcoin mining operations in Texas and Kentucky. Metavesco also invests in promising NFT projects, including virtual land ventures like OthersideMeta, and operates Boring Brew, a specialty coffee company utilizing NFT IP for unique packaging.
A significant milestone for Metavesco was the recent announcement on November 9, 2023, regarding a substantial investment. The company secured $650,000 through a note with an 8% original issue discount and a 12.5% annual interest rate. This capital injection aims to fuel growth, support acquisitions, boost marketing for Boring Brew, and expand Bitcoin mining operations.
Metavesco's CEO, Ryan Schadel, outlined the allocation of funds, emphasizing the company's commitment to enhancing its crypto portfolio and Bitcoin mining business. The decision to transition to the Alternative Reporting Standard (ARS) reflects a proactive stance to navigate the dynamic crypto market effectively, showcasing Metavesco's dedication to transparency and shareholder value.
Further cementing its commitment, a press release on November 20, 2023, highlighted Metavesco's expansion of Bitcoin mining operations with the purchase of 50 Bitmain Antminer S19k Pro miners. The company's focus on sustainable and profitable mining, with a long-term belief in the value of Bitcoin, underscores its dedication to accumulating, holding, and leveraging digital assets.
As the year comes to a close, Metavesco recapped its transformative 2023 on December 18. The company executed key acquisitions, secured non-dilutive financing, and completed the acquisition of one hundred Bitmain Antminer S19k Pro ASIC units, positioning itself competitively in the Bitcoin mining environment. The acquisitions of LaborSmart and Epic Labor assets, set to take effect on January 1, 2024, are expected to significantly bolster revenue, reflecting Metavesco's vision.
Metavesco's diversified approach, from Bitcoin mining to NFT ventures and specialty coffee, positions the company for sustained growth and adaptability in the rapidly evolving digital asset space. As the cryptocurrency sector continues to evolve, Metavesco remains a dynamic player, navigating the complexities with strategic moves and a clear vision for the future.
BlockQuarry Corp. (OTC: BLQC)

The company specializes in providing green, sustainable, and economically viable energy solutions, catering to power-intensive industries like data storage hubs, manufacturing, and cryptocurrency mining.
In early November, BlockQuarry announced a favorable judgment in the case of BlockQuarry Corp. v. Litchain Corp. et al., reclaiming mining assets such as pods, transformers, storage containers, and miners from a Gaffney, South Carolina, location. This legal victory marked a pivotal moment for the company, as President and Chair Alonzo Pierce expressed enthusiasm for the future. The company outlined key focus areas, including relocating mining assets to Jackson County, Missouri, retrofitting equipment for planned operations, establishing an operations management team, and significantly reducing debt liability.
Building on this momentum, BlockQuarry capitalized on the surging Bitcoin prices in late November. The company proudly announced the operational launch of its Missouri site, boasting 2 MW of computing power under the leadership of COO Lawrence Davis and President Alonzo Pierce. The successful move from Gaffney to Macon, Missouri, reflects the company's commitment to innovation and growth.
BlockQuarry's self-mining operations at the Macon site commenced with two pods, projecting an annual revenue of $1.4 million to $1.7 million. However, the company has ambitious plans to power up four pods by year-end, showcasing immediate scalability. The Macon site, designed for rapid expansion, aims to reach an impressive 9 MW of operational power, projecting annual revenues of $3 million to $3.4 million.
COO Lawrence Davis emphasized the significance of the new site, viewing it as a launching pad to exhibit BlockQuarry's expertise to clients and the public. The company's commitment to continuous growth and success positions it as a leader in the energy and infrastructure industry.
As BlockQuarry forges ahead, it promises to provide timely updates on Missouri operations, revenue projections, and additional projects. The company's unwavering dedication to improving operations and revenues reinforces its standing as a dedicated industry leader, offering investors a compelling opportunity in the evolving landscape of energy and infrastructure.
Bitfarms Ltd. (NASDAQ: BTIF)
Bitfarms has emerged as a global leader in Bitcoin mining, operating 11 farms across Canada, the United States, Paraguay, and Argentina. With a commitment to sustainable practices and environmentally friendly energy sources, Bitfarms has positioned itself as a key player in the industry.
In their November update, Bitfarms reported solid performance despite network difficulty increases. CEO Geoff Morphy outlined a transformative fleet upgrade plan, including a purchase order for 35,888 high-performance Bitmain T21 miners scheduled for delivery from March to May 2024. Anticipating a 29% increase in operating capacity to 310 MW and an 88% rise in hashrate to 12 EH/s in H1 2024, this move aims to enhance efficiency and drive improved profit margins.
Chief Mining Officer Ben Gagnon emphasized the company's readiness for the bitcoin Halving, with a deployment schedule aligning well with the anticipated bull market. November's production of 392 BTC faced challenges from a 19.0% increase in network difficulty, reflecting the strong demand for miners.
In a significant financial move, Bitfarms closed a C$60 million private placement with U.S. institutional investors. The offering, consisting of common shares and warrants, will be instrumental in acquiring additional miners, expanding infrastructure, and bolstering working capital.
Bitfarm's recent initiatives, combined with its commitment to sustainability, make it a compelling choice for investors seeking exposure to the surging Bitcoin market. As Bitcoin continues to hit all-time highs, Bitfarms stands poised to capitalize on this momentum.
HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: HIVE) (TSXV: HIVE), a pioneering cryptocurrency mining company that went public in 2017,. Operating state-of-the-art, green energy-powered data centers in Canada, Sweden, and Iceland, the company mines digital assets like Bitcoin with a commitment to sustainability.
In a recent move, HIVE announced the acquisition of 4,800 Bitmain S19k Pro ASIC miners, demonstrating its commitment to improving mining efficiency. The company aims to upgrade its remaining miners before the Bitcoin Halving event in April 2024, focusing on maximizing machine efficiency and minimizing costs.
Building on its recent acquisitions, HIVE has purchased 5,000 additional Bitmain S19k Pro ASIC miners, further enhancing its global fleet efficiency to approximately 29 J/TH. This move aligns with the company's goal of hitting 6.0 Exahash and optimizing its cost of production per bitcoin ahead of the upcoming Bitcoin Halving in April 2024.
Highlighting its impressive track record, HIVE emphasizes its ability to acquire over 23,000 Bitcoin mining ASICs in the last year with only 5% dilution, in contrast to larger miners experiencing over 65% shareholder dilution. The company's approach involves monthly upgrades, rapid delivery of new ASIC machines, and attractive $/TH prices, all contributing to a 70% increase in its Bitcoin ASIC hashrate over the past year.
In a recent press release, HIVE disclosed its production figures for November 2023, producing 276.3 Bitcoin with an average of 66.7 Bitcoin per exchange. The company continues to enhance its mining capacity, ending the month with 4.18 EH/s of mining capacity and a month-over-month increase in hashrate.
HIVE's investments extend beyond mining, as seen in its acquisition of a 6 MW data center in Sweden. The CEO, Aydin Kilic, emphasizes the significance of putting hard assets on the balance sheet, reinforcing HIVE's commitment to sustainable growth and its position as a key player in the digital technology sector.
