Thoughts on potential cashflow recovery for #bitcoinminers

#Bitcoin pricing and sector operating CF margins:
1H 2024 $30,000 17%
2H 2024 $40,000 37%
1H 2025 $60,000 58%
2H 2025 $80,000 70%
1H 2026 $100,000 75%
2H 2026 $120,000 80%

Example: 20 #Bitcoin per day 2H 2025..

..equates to annualized operating CF US$400m.
So locating a market cap below $400m through 2023 that can deliver such a production rate would be trading on 1x CF multiple, $200m would be 0.5x.
Note the debt load of up to 1bn on the balance sheets which has funded the capacity

A) They won't deploy near the cycle bottom

B) They can't do the required sitting

C) They can't deal with the volatility

The process...

Mass Contagion = creates generational entry points

Margin calls across the board, ETF redemptions = baby goes out with the bath water

Decoupling of #commodities will occur in the next 30-40% downside

Prepare 10 bagger watchlists for slow scale in post -20%
You must run toward the fire as everyone else is running away in fear, as it will soon be time to be greedy.
Running towards the fire involves:

A) Having pots of dry powder

B) Preparing 10 bagger watchlists with 35% scale in ranges

C) Having a reasonable S&P500 bottoming range to work off 3700-4500 for example

D) Understanding decoupling in sectors such as #commodities
