Bitcoin celebrates 12 years since its first halving event, with block rewards shrinking to 3.125 BTC and miners adapting to higher difficulty amid rising prices.
Crypto exchange Coinbase and Bitcoin miners CleanSpark and IREN closed Oct. 14 with double-digit percentage gains and continued to climb after the bell.
CleanSpark’s CEO Zach Bradford said his firm was setting its sights on increasing future hash rate instead of branching out to alternative revenue streams.
