In this episode of HashrateUp, Jesse sits down with Nico Smid, founder of Digital Mining Solutions, to break down the NiceHash Annual Bitcoin Mining Report and what it reveals about the current state of Bitcoin mining.

They unpack key insights from the report, including hashrate growth, compressed hashprice, ASIC pricing dynamics, manufacturer self-mining, and why AI and HPC competition is pushing miners toward the fringes of the energy system.

Topics covered include:

  • Why mining economics remain under pressure
  • What falling ASIC prices really mean for operators
  • Public vs private miners and consolidation risk
  • Why solo mining and home mining still matter
  • How the next halving could impact hashprice and miner behavior

    • This episode is a data-driven deep dive into Bitcoin mining fundamentals — not narratives.
