As the Bitcoin halving event approaches, according to Acheron Trading CEO Laurent Benayoun, the decrease in mining rewards can be balanced by the increase in transaction fees. Benayoun states that Bitcoin block rewards will be halved on April 20th and this will not affect the profitability of mining.
Halving Impact and Mining Revenues
Post-halving, the profitability of mining firms may follow a different trajectory than in previous years. Benayoun indicates that DeFi projects on the Bitcoin network and the Ordinals field will increase transaction fees. Additionally, mining companies generally make a profit if the Bitcoin price stays above $70,000.
Future of Mining Operations
Bitcoin transaction fees showed a significant increase in recent years. Joe Downie, CMO of NiceHash, emphasizes that the Bitcoin price directly affects the profitability of mining firms and that the energy efficiency of mining equipment determines this profitability. According to Downie, while old hardware may become less profitable with decreasing rewards, new and efficient models can sustain profitability.
