A) Understand the debt structure, particularly what falls due within the next 18 months
B) Assess the liquidity position today & over the next 18 months
C) Check on operating cashflow positivity at current #Bitcoin prices & lower

D) What is the end of 1H 2023 liquidity picture like.. (cash+coins-debtpayments-/+6 month cash margin less capex obligations)
...positive margin of safety is required otherwise material dilution and/or bankruptcy becomes a high risk.
....conduct the same exercise yr end 2023.

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

......just do the opposite to the masses when they chase the new shiny object way above fundamentals, that's often >3x the cost curve in #commodities.
Lets take #uranium for example, most don't stay above 4x the cost curve for long, less than 2 months. Image
#lithium was an extreme bubble in its last cycle peak at > 5x the cost curve, the supply response was mega in terms of potential new mines for the next decade. The cycle low in 1H 2025 was as destructive as the extreme of the cycle peak in reverse. Image

$MCI.v +38% #gold undervalued nano caps $1 target 🎯 over next 24 months up 100% over last week.

Incoming resource update for new DFS 2H 2026.
#gold -4.5% Vs $MCI.v +38%

Only $3k gold priced in at 30c = Project IRR 200%

$4k = 70c = 300% IRR

$5k = $1.10 = 400% IRR

Out with the impatient, in with fresh holders, round tripping incoming $CXU #uranium
0.7c entry = 9x

0.6c entry = 10x returns over 3-4yrs

0.5c entry = 11x

Assumption: ban removal in line with world trends
The key is don't dilute much as the cap comes in for landing, wait for the rebound

Why most will never have a 10 bagger?

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

We harvest a 10 bagger on average every 2 years by ensuring our entry is is near a deep cycle low & 3-5yr sitting.
Note from 2024/25 cycle lows in #cyclicals there will be > 100 10 baggers through 2027.
Characteristics:

A) cap size bottoms below US$20m

B) down > 95% from previous cycle peak

C) bottoming NPV disc > 95%

D) IRR is compelling enough to ensure financing occurs this cycle

E) Mgmt move the project to execution in this upcycle

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
