The end to a cold winter

According to a Bloomberg report from September 2022, Bitcoin mining companies were beginning to exhibit signs of financial distress, as evidenced by second-quarter earnings reports. 

A year later, as shared in an Oct. 8 report obtained from the Maimai Community, a prominent professional networking platform, Bitmain employees raised concerns regarding delayed salary payments attributed to cash flow issues.

However, the excitement generated around new machines shows what may be the first sign that the Bitcoin mining winter is over.
