2025 Is a Big Year for Bitcoin Miners—Who’s Winning the Hash War
Bitcoin’s resurgence in 2025 has reignited the mining race. The halving came and went, hashprice bounced from the abyss, and a fresh wave of capital is pouring into the space. So we figured: time to catch you up on who’s making real moves and pulling ahead — both in market cap and megawatts.
⚡ CleanSpark (CLSK): The Sharpshooter
If Bitcoin mining were a sport, CleanSpark would be the athlete that trains all year, eats clean, and shows up for every match. No drama, just execution.
In 2025, CleanSpark continues to grow fast — but smart. It’s acquiring distressed sites, upgrading facilities with immersion cooling, and pushing its fleet beyond 50 EH/s. Its Tennessee expansion (a deal scooped up for pennies on the dollar) was classic CLSK: low cost, renewable-powered, and ready to scale.
In Q1 2025, CleanSpark posted $162.3 million in revenue, up a blistering +120% YoY, and delivered $246.8 million in net income, or $0.85 per share. It's one of the few miners that’s profitable and expanding — at the same time.
The stock is up 25–30% YTD, trading around $12. While it’s been volatile like the rest of the sector, CLSK remains the benchmark for cost-effective, execution-focused Bitcoin mining. If you’re looking for a fundamentals-backed growth story, this is it.
🏗️ Iris Energy (IREN): The AI-Ready Dark Horse
Iris Energy may have flown under the radar in past cycles, but in 2025 it’s turning heads — not just because of Bitcoin, but because of data infrastructure.
While IREN runs a lean BTC mining operation powered by 100% renewable energy in Australia and Canada, the real story is its pivot toward modular data centers. It’s one of the few miners actively positioning itself for GPU workloads and AI compute as a hedge against mining volatility.
The upside? Flexibility. If BTC mining margins compress again, IREN has the facilities and roadmap to reconfigure its power-hungry machines for AI hosting. The market likes the optionality. The stock’s up ~70% this year and may still be cheap if the data center thesis catches on.
🔥 BitFuFu (FUFU): The Challenger
BitFuFu came in hot after its 2024 IPO — vertically integrated, Bitmain-backed, and global from day one. It’s the largest cloud mining provider in the mining space. It provides cloud mining, sells miners, hosts them, runs its own mining pool (BitFuFuPool), and operates a global fleet clocking over 36 EH/s under management.
While others focused on HPC & AI business, BitFuFu doubled down on mining scale and infrastructure. It aims to own over 1 GW of power capacity and launched its own mining operating system.
The post-halving reality has been rough. Q1 2025 revenue came in at $78 million, down 46% YoY, with self-mining revenue dropping 70.7%. But the company has a track record of being profitable every year since founded, plus its P/S is only 1.6, well below other mining giants such as Mara and Riot.
Watch this one. Especially if BTC pushes above $150K.
🐋 Marathon Digital (MARA): The Goliath, Still Standing
Marathon is the largest public miner by market cap — and has been the face of institutional mining exposure for years. It’s also the most debated name in the game.
On one hand, MARA controls a monster fleet with over 75 EH/s expected by year-end, global mining operations from the U.S. to the UAE, and a budding software business for managing hashrate.
On the other, critics argue it’s bloated, overly reliant on third-party infrastructure, and too slow to pivot in a fast-moving landscape.
Still, when Bitcoin’s hot, Marathon runs. The company holds a large BTC treasury of over 50,000 BTC, is adding immersion-cooled sites, and remains a proxy trade for many traditional investors wanting in on mining without picking niche plays.
Love it or hate it, MARA isn’t going anywhere. And if BTC moons in Q4, it’ll be one of the first tickers to feel the heat.
🧊 Cipher Mining (CIFR): The Quiet Killer
Cipher isn’t flashy. It doesn’t dominate headlines or make bold predictions. What it does do: mine Bitcoin efficiently, at low cost, with minimal dilution and maximum discipline.
Based in Texas, CIFR locked in long-term power contracts at enviably low rates and steadily grew its fleet past 13.5 EH/s. It has some of the best cost-per-BTC metrics in the industry and avoids unnecessary spending or debt.The Texas-based miner produced 602 BTC in Q1, and benefits from low power contracts and disciplined growth.
The market loves it: CIFR is up ~35% YTD, trading at $6.52. It’s becoming a favorite among investors who want hash exposure with less volatility and more transparency. The monthly production updates are clear, consistent, and confidence-building.
👀 Trends to Watch in H2 2025
1. Hashprice Rollercoaster: Hashprice (BTC earned per TH/s per day) has bounced from $39 post-halving lows to nearly $60. If BTC rallies again, miners with fixed-cost power will reap the upside.
2. GPU Hosting Pivot: With AI demand surging, some miners are repurposing infrastructure to host GPUs — think IREN.
3. M&A Season: Expect smaller players with weak cash flow to get scooped up.
4. Regulatory Shifts: Crypto Week laws passed in the U.S. provide more clarity. But ESG pressure and power usage scrutiny will remain part of the narrative.
💭 Final Thought
Bitcoin mining stocks aren’t just about Bitcoin anymore.
They’re about infrastructure. Data. Energy. Efficiency. Optionality. And in 2025, the winners will be those who can balance raw hashpower with strategic foresight.
Whether you’re team CLSK, FUFU, IREN, MARA, or CIFR — the landscape is shifting fast. And with BTC momentum building again, this might just be the beginning.
So — which miner are you backing this cycle?

CLSK Finally Ready for a strong move up?Price printed a textbook motif wave 1 and ABC wave 2 correction ending at the 61.8 Fibonacci retracement golden pocket and High Volume Node (HVN) major support.
Price continues to flirt with weekly 200EMA and looks ready for another test as resistance on the local chart.
The weekly pivot still looms above but if price is in a macro wave 3 we should punch through these resistances over the next few weeks and head towards long term target of $80.
Wave 2 can extend all the way $1.80 before invalidation, though the lower prices goes, the lower the probability of the analysis being correct

AMERICA'S BITCOIN MINER: CLEANSPARKThe chart for Ethereum Futures is showing a promising inverse head and shoulders pattern. This indicates a potential turnaround for the struggling bitcoin mining industry. It appears that miners are behaving more like altcoin investors rather than taking a leveraged stance on Bitcoin. This shift suggests that their fortunes are more closely tied to the performance of Ethereum rather than Bitcoin itself.
Here’s what you should be aware of: CleanSpark (#CLSK), is set to be added to the S&P SmallCap 600 index on March 24.
This index features smaller publicly traded companies in the U.S. that have a market cap exceeding $1 billion and fulfil certain financial requirements.
Being included in this index may enhance CleanSpark’s visibility, boost its trading volume and liquidity, and draw in more institutional investors.
CleanSpark is the second crypto miner to be added to the index after peer Marathon Digital was added to the list last year.
Companies in the index typically benefit from increased trading volume and improved liquidity, making their shares more accessible to a broader pool of investors.
"CleanSpark's inclusion enhances visibility within the investment community," CEO Zach Bradford said in the announcement. “Our inclusion enhances visibility within the investment community and gives us an opportunity to demonstrate the value of being a pure play, vertically integrated Bitcoin mining company and making exposure to our model more broadly available."
CleanSpark operates bitcoin mining facilities across the U.S., focusing on energy efficiency and cost-effective power sources. The company has expanded its operations over the past year with the acquisition of peer GRIID Infrastructure.
Another CLSK Idea! (15-20 USD)I dont care about this description stuff anymore lol
So here is a nice small one..
I think we are in a 5 wave up currently and that
we are in the making of a W-shape upwards!
It won't be straight up but I would be beyond
surprised if we are not at 20+ into Q1-Q2 2025
Of course this is ONLY an idea, please be careful
NFA DYOR!!!
Cleanspark (CLNK) may have started a short buyCleanspark (CLNK) may have started a short buy.

CLSK could end 2024 at 17-20 dollars (NFA)Hello Tradingview people!
Before i explain my idea... I just want to make it clear this is an idea and nothing more!
If NASDAQ:CLSK doesn't do this specific pattern I'm showcasing, then don't come crying to me (Do your own research before investing)
Anyway, As you can see on the chart I'm showcasing for y'all, this pattern has worked multiple times in the past and is even known to be the CLSK "bottoming pattern" for the most part.
Again this is an idea and nothing more, but if this does play out i could personally see CLSK being at 17-20 dollars EOY (maybe) and 2025 Q3-Q4 30-50 dollars .
NFA DYOR <<<-------
What do you all think? Comment down below without being rude (ty)
UPVOTE if you like the idea of course.
CLSK is making a VERY BULLISH pattern (NFA)Hello Tradingview community!

NFA DYOR - be careful
CLSK breakout above 18 is IMMINENT!Diamond reversal pattern on CLSK…crypto miners from MARA to RIOT and others all showing strong buy rates per my algo.
Expect breakout to new relative highs within next several sessions.
Looking for a move to 18-20$ before 12/13 on CLSK in particular. great play for in-the-money options play imo
#Cleanspark before price escalation #Bitcoin #crypto #clskAs Bitcoin begins to break out, equities should also pick up and be boosted to new highs. The first interim target is USD 17 and later USD 21.
The previous all-time high was USD 43 and would be very likely if the Bitcoin price were to exceed USD 85,000 + X.

CLSK most important chart and targets! (NFA)Hello Tradingview community!
As always: If this pattern I'm showcasing doesn't work as predicted..
then please don't come crying to me (ty) -> NFA DYOR
I think from a chart perspective this is our MOST important chart for NASDAQ:CLSK
As you can see.. these "channels" got respected all the way up and down
What are the targets? Well I have highlighted some for you on the charts -
but honestly these prices can change a lot since it depends on when
CLSK hits those lines... So stick to watching the lines and not the
highlighted prices I've put onto the chart.
What do I personally think will happen?
Well i believe we either go in the short term down to 7.5-8 dollars OR
we recover here and 10 dollars is coming soon.
How about EOY?
Well because i'm fairly bullish on CLSK and the chart shows it's possible
I believe CLSK will be 14 dollars to even 20+ (lines on the chart)
How about 2025?
Well again, from my personal perspective i believe CLSK could be
Q1-Q2 2025: 30-40 dollars and potentially Q3-4 2025: 50+ dollars
Of course -> NFA DYOR it's very important you WATCH the lines
and don't just follow hopium.
CLSK: 2 targets I'm watchingHello Tradingview community!
As always: If this pattern I'm showcasing doesn't work as predicted..
then please don't come crying to me (ty) -> NFA DYOR
Alright I'll make this message very short cause I don't have time to write a
whole book atm (sorry) -
the chart explains itself = If we keep riding this channel we could see
anything from low 6s (lowest part of channel) to the middle line at
8ish.. IF we break the channel though I'm expecting 12-13 dollars.

NASDAQ:CLSK
CLSK Roadmap for EOY and 2025Hello Tradingview community!
As always: If these patterns I'm showcasing doesn't work as predicted..
then please don't come crying to me (ty) -> NFA DYOR
I think this honestly could be the "roadmap" for NASDAQ:CLSK
My target for EOY is around 15-25 dollars
and my target for 2025 (Q3-Q4 my top guess) around 45-80 dollars
It does have potential/room enough to go down to: 7 dollar zone
But the bottom could easily already be in (In my opinion)
These are idea's and targets I'm watching that I wanted to share
with the whole world - BTC miners needs some love here on Tradingview.
Anyway, BOOST the post if you like it and follow for more!

CLSK October targets (NFA)Hello Tradingview community!
As always: This is just an idea and nothing else.. Don't come crying to me if this prediction doesn't work as charted (ty) - NFA DYOR
Alright.. The chart is kinda explaining itself as you can see -
Either we have another low at around 6.5-7.5ish (IMO)
or we have an uptrend finally forming and entering our NEW channel
Bullish targets: 10.5-12ish (I find this the most likely)
I think NASDAQ:CLSK is by far one of the best miners out there -
Yes I'm bias.. cause I do have a few shares (just a bit) But their fundamental info
I've researched by myself is impressive to say the least.
The chart though (and investors) have been suffering the most out of any miner
recently and I do personally think from my TA perspective, that this trend
down we got currently is about to change upwards instead.
Please BOOST this if you find it helpful and follow for future information!
Very few are charting miners and i personally will do a few over the next many months

CLSK - long, medium,short-term plans. Technical and fundamental Hello, friends! Shark here, and today we’ll be looking at the technical and fundamental analysis of the mining company stock CLSK. We will cover long-term, medium-term, and short-term plans.
Technical Analysis
Long-term Trading Plan (pink), timeframe 1 month:
Global resistance level: $40
Global support level: $1.74 (established in 2023)
Channel width: 2198%
Accumulation period: 3300 days
Note that the lows on the monthly timeframe are rising while the highs are falling, indicating an accumulation phase. Once the price breaks the global descending line, an active participation phase may begin, potentially leading to significant growth.
Medium-term Trading Plan (blue), timeframe 1 week:
Support level: $14.78
Resistance level: $23.45
Trading range: 58%
Currently, there is no clear direction, and the price moves between support and resistance, indicating an accumulation phase. The price is above the ascending trend line, pointing to a pronounced local uptrend. Consider buying at the levels indicated on the weekly timeframe.
Short-term Trading Plan (yellow), timeframe 1 day:
Resistance level: $18.32 (from daily timeframe)
Support level: $14.78 (from weekly timeframe)
The chart shows a local ascending trend line (yellow). The price has broken through resistance and is now in the middle of the channel.
Consider two scenarios:
Trading Scenario: Buy at the support level of $14.78 with a subsequent rise to the resistance level at $23.45. The potential movement is 50%.
Breakdown Scenario: If the support level of $14.78 breaks, the price may drop to $10.54 (from the daily timeframe), followed by growth to the global level of $40. In this case, the growth potential is about 400%.

CLSK - My money is on this minerNo other miner has these good vibes when BTC is rallying back to the highs from the recent dip.
Watch out for the rally if BTC continues tmrw.

Bitcoin knocking on 50K - inside candles and maybe resistanceBItcoin is still a long but could be getting some resistance in the push over $50 K USD. It pulled
back into a dip for the NY morning open and got the volume push. Got more on the options.
Crypto stoeck still airborne including CLSK. BITF, BETS, HUT, MSTR and RIOT. Watching my
positions closely as BTCUSD could roll over here.
MSTR slammed earnings beyond the parking lot LONGMSTR while Bitcoin and the whole ETF thing has caused crypto momentum had a good
4QTR23 and 8Xed the analyst's earnings estimates two days ago. The momentum is expanding
as market volume is accelerating. Late afternoon the zero lag MACD showed some recyling as
some early traders took cash off the table. To emphasize however, there is no sign of bearish
divergence on the RSI. This has gained 25% in 3 days. Anyone into the prices needed to acquire
options contracts could consider looking for an option using their own typical selection criteria.
There are others who as price is overextended and it will fade. They say the same thing about
NVDA. For me, I will take a trade here even if the continuation is short lived. At the end of
the day, Bitcoin could go to MIL:1M per each as some of those with crystal balls forecast.
