Bitcoin mining companies have seen their stock prices rise this month, defying a nearly 17% decline in Bitcoin's value. TeraWulf's stock surged 31%, Cipher Mining increased by 8%, and Hut 8 rose 6%, while Core Scientific's stock remained stable. Analysts suggest that these companies, heavily shorted by hedge funds, could experience a short squeeze if fundamentals improve. The miners benefit from long-term, favorable power contracts, providing a competitive edge in energy costs. This strategic advantage is attracting capital to these 'structural winners,' potentially sidelining traditional miners.
