Report from the Bitcoin Blockchain shows that it is more profitable to mine Bitcoin now than what it was in 2023.
Looking into this, it might be possible that miners will start selling soon to capitalize on the profit that they have made, ever since Bitcoin went active again.
This is because since the last quarter of 2023, Bitcoin’s Blockchain activity has increased significantly, due to the innovations around it as well as more people transacting with Bitcoin.
Bitcoin’s Blockchain Activity Increases
According to data from CryptoQuant, it can be seen that the activity of the Bitcoin Blockchain is currently increasing.
This is shown through the hash rate data, where the increasing hash rate means that the Blockchain has more transactions to process, essentially showing that volume and activity is increasing.
It can be seen that the hash rate of Bitcoin is increasing by the day, especially since the last quarter of 2023.
Increasing hash rate means that miners have more transactions to validate and are more busy, which in turn have more work to do.
More work to do equals more income, which means that the increasing hash rate can describe the increasing profitability of mining Bitcoin.
The increasing activity is supported by new innovations on top of the Bitcoin Blockchain, with products such as layer two blockchains that make developers able to build decentralized applications on top of Bitcoin and Bitcoin Ordinals.
Bitcoin Ordinals allow artists to create Non Fungible Token or NFT on top of the Bitcoin Blockchain, which evidently created higher transaction volume on the blockchain.
Miner Reserves Going Down
With higher activity and more profit, miners might look into converting those profits into money, which means selling the Bitcoin that they earned.
Looking at the miner reserve data from CryptoQuant, it can be seen that currently the miner reserve is decreasing.
This means that there are less miners that are holding on to their Bitcoin and more are preparing to sell or have transferred them into another wallet, with a high probability of transferring them into a centralized exchange wallet.
If this is true, then there is a probability that miners might start to sell which could create a correction in the short term.
There are two possibilities in the current condition. The first one is a short term correction as the price of Bitcoin is already high and might lead miners to capitalize on their profit.
The second one is that this movement is an indicator that we are going into the bull market which is predicted to happen in 2025.
Looking at previous bull markets, it can be seen that most movements are the same where miner reserve usually goes down when the price goes up if the market is nearing or is currently at a bull market.
So, this can be translated into a strategy, which is that investors and traders can start buying Bitcoin when the price drops and hold them to capitalize on the bull market.
But always remember to use proper risk management and an exit strategy if you are looking to trade in the short term.
If you are a long term investor, then it is good to start accumulating when the price go up and capitalizing some of the holdings when we reach a peak market condition in the upcoming bull market.
