Nasdaq-listed bitcoin (BTC) miners are experiencing a downturn on Thursday, despite the premier cryptocurrency achieving new highs against the U.S. dollar. BTC soared to $72,486 on Monday, Mar. 11, 2024, yet shares of most bitcoin mining companies have decreased in value following a brief recovery last week.
