In its July 2024 monthly mining report, CleanSpark, a notable mining enterprise, disclosed a remarkably conservative divestiture of only 2.54 Bitcoin (BTC) at an average valuation of approximately $62,000 per unit. This modest liquidation is reflective of the broader industry trend of diminished sell-off pressures among mining operators.

Throughout July, CleanSpark successfully extracted 494 BTC, augmenting its annual production to a cumulative 4,108 BTC. The company’s reserves stood robust at 7,082 BTC by the end of the month, signifying a strategic reserve accumulation approach.

The report also highlighted CleanSpark’s geographic and operational expansion endeavors. The company secured its inaugural mining site in Wyoming, bolstered by power agreements promising a capacity of 75 megawatts. Concurrently, following a merger with GRIID, CleanSpark inaugurated a new facility in Tennessee, commencing operations with an already functional 50 megawatts of power. These expansions align with CleanSpark’s ambitious objective of amplifying its operational hashrate from the current 21.2 exahashes per second (EH/s) to an anticipated 32 EH/s by year’s end.

The trend of miners exhibiting minimal sell-off pressures is underscored by the broader market dynamics. The aggregate BTC holdings of miners have been on a declining trajectory since 2021, presently at multi-year nadirs, indicating a strategic reduction in supply-side pressures. According to CryptoQuant, although the Miner to Exchange Flow metric saw a surge to 13,729 BTC on July 24, it has remained subdued compared to the volumes observed between January and April 2024.

Additionally, the sector experienced a substantial 50% surge in miner revenues since early July, coupled with an escalation in Bitcoin’s hashrate. This confluence of factors has collectively contributed to the reduced selling pressure observed during the month.

In a parallel development, Marathon Digital Holdings, now rebranded as Mara, reportedly refrained from selling any of its Bitcoin holdings in June, a decision indicative of a broader industry sentiment favoring the retention of the decentralized asset in anticipation of future value appreciation.
