Key Points
- Bitcoin miners observed a decrease in their balances to approximately 1.799 million BTC in September.
- Despite price fluctuations, Bitcoin miners’ revenue remained stable with a minor increase to about 2.5%.
In September, Bitcoin (BTC) miners saw their balances gradually decrease, starting from around 1.802 million BTC at the beginning of the month to approximately 1.801 million BTC by the end of the month.
The balance slightly increased from a mid-month low of 1.800 million BTC, indicating a brief upward trend.
Miners’ Balance and Revenue
However, as of now, the miners’ balance has further declined to about 1.799 million BTC, similar to the level in July when miners saw a significant drop.
Interestingly, despite the price volatility of Bitcoin in September, miners transferred fewer holdings to exchanges than in August.
The most substantial single transfer in September was 11,842 BTC, which is significantly lower than the over 18,000 BTC transferred in August.
Revenue and Price Volatility
The revenue metrics of Bitcoin miners for the past month did not show any significant spikes or declines.
There were minor fluctuations, with revenue increasing by up to 2.5% on certain days, much less dramatic than the 18% spikes seen in August.
Bitcoin’s price volatility persisted into October. The highly anticipated “Uptober” trend has not fully materialized yet, with Bitcoin struggling to recover from early-month declines.
This continued volatility could lead to Bitcoin miners experiencing mixed metrics in the upcoming weeks.
Currently, Bitcoin is trading at around $62,480, showing a slight increase of less than 1%. Its 50-day moving average is acting as a strong support level, while its 200-day moving average at $63,700 remains a resistance point.
Miners are facing a mix of declining balances and relatively stable revenues amidst price volatility. With Bitcoin’s continued unpredictability, miners might see fluctuating performance in the near future.
