Network Hash Rate Remains High While Coin Price is Weak, Bitmain Significantly Reduces Bitcoin Miner Prices

2025.12.27 15:29:59

December 27th — Per TheMinerMag, Bitmain has recently slashed prices on Bitcoin miners, with multiple S19 and S21 series models entering fire sale territory. Internal pricing details: - S19e XP Hydro & 3U S19 XP Hydro: as low as $3 per TH/s - S19 XP+ Hydro: ~$4 per TH/s - S21 immersion cooling miner: ~$7 per TH/s - S21+ Hydro: ~$8 per TH/s Previously, Bitmain offered a bundled deal for the S19 XP+ Hydro with an effective price of ~$4/TH/s. In November, the company launched an auction-style sale for the S19k Pro starting at $5.5/TH/s. Industry analysts note that as the Bitcoin network hash rate hovers near all-time highs and Bitcoin has seen a minor price pullback, hash rate per TH/s has stayed near multi-year lows—ramping up pressure on the mining sector. This dynamic has squeezed miners’ profit margins, cut demand for new gear (especially less efficient models), and escalated competition between ASIC miner makers and secondhand market sellers.

Binance platform Bitcoin balance surged to 676,834.84 BTC yesterday, hitting a new high since November 2024

CoinDesk reported on February 23rd that on-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant data shows the Bitcoin balance in wallets tied to the Binance platform rose to 676,834.84 BTC (about $44.53 billion) last Sunday, hitting a new high since November 2024. That’s roughly a 9.3% jump from its multi-month low of 618,782 BTC in November last year. Typically, a rise in Bitcoin balances on a trading platform is viewed as a potential selling pressure signal. It suggests investors may be gearing up to sell assets or use the crypto as collateral for derivative trades—both moves that typically amplify price volatility.

Bloomberg: Hedge Funds That Fueled U.S. Bitcoin ETF Craze Are Now Rushing to Exit, Bitcoin ETF Holdings Drop 28% Q4 2025

Hedge funds that once stoked U.S. Bitcoin ETF frenzy are rapidly exiting, per Bloomberg data dated Feb. 23. CF Benchmarks—Kraken’s wholly owned subsidiary—reports the largest hedge funds cut their overall Bitcoin ETF allocations by 28% between Q3 and Q4 2025. In a Feb. 19 research note, CF Benchmarks Head of Research Gabe Selby said: “The dominant theme of the past two quarters has been hedge fund derisking. The post-October rally pullback appears to have triggered systemic deleveraging.” Brevan Howard was the top seller of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) in Q4, slashing its holdings by ~86% to 5.5 million shares. That cut its spot position value from ~$2.4B to $275M. Bitcoin prices fell alongside macro risks, with steeper declines at times—undermining the prior pitch to institutional investors that Bitcoin hedges against inflation, currency depreciation, or stock market pressure.

Analysis: BTC Approaching "Historical Average Cost of Turnover" Line, If Broken, May Enter a Deep Bear Phase

February 23rd: Cryptocurrency analyst Murphy noted that Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading around $65,000, near the <10y_RP> indicator’s range. This metric—excluding the cost impact of most lost Bitcoin—is viewed as a “historical average cost” closer to its true value. This range could act as a key bullish psychological and cost support level. A decisive break below it would likely signal the current downtrend will deepen into a bear market with high probability.

The dark side of the Moon has already generated revenue equivalent to the full-year total for 2025

February 23 — Per The Paper, multiple insiders have confirmed that less than a month after the launch of Moon's Dark Side (Kimi)’s K2.5 large language model, Kimi’s cumulative revenue in nearly 20 days has already exceeded its projected 2025 full-year revenue. The growth is driven primarily by a sharp surge in global paid users and API call volume, with overseas paid users expanding rapidly — Kimi’s overseas revenue has outpaced its domestic counterpart. Previous reports noted that in a funding round led by Alibaba and Tencent Holdings, the AI startup Moon's Dark Side is seeking to raise its valuation to $10 billion. Sources added that existing investors including Alibaba, Tencent, and FountainVest Partners have committed over $700 million to the first tranche of the latest round. This sets a record for the fastest time from founding to decacorn (valuation exceeding $10 billion) among Chinese domestic companies.
