In 2026, publicly traded Bitcoin miners have sold about 28,000 BTC, worth around $1.78 billion, as production costs exceed Bitcoin's market price. Their holdings dropped from 127,000 BTC to 99,000 BTC, a 22% decline. High costs averaging $74,300 per BTC and a 27% price drop have forced about 20% of miners to operate at a loss. Many miners are selling BTC to fund a shift toward AI and high-performance computing data centers, leveraging their existing infrastructure for more stable profits.
