Bitcoin hit a new record high above $90,000, thanks to the recent Republican electoral victories and the possibility of federal policies promoting its adoption. While regulatory concerns have been the focus, Wall Street is also paying attention to the potential for increased profits for bitcoin miners. Higher prices and lower energy costs can make mining more profitable, leading to a surge in mergers and acquisitions in the mining sector. As bitcoin continues to gain traction in investment portfolios, mining operations are becoming a key area of interest for investors.
