Bitcoin mining companies face significant paper losses in Q1 2025 earnings due to FASB accounting rules that require marking their Bitcoin holdings to market prices. As Bitcoin fell from $93,429 to $82,549 during the quarter, major miners like Marathon could show unrealized losses approaching $600 million despite operational improvements.
