Welcome back to The Mining Pod! In this emergency market update, we analyze the brutal day for Bitcoin and mining stocks amid wider tariff-induced market terror. Bitcoin is below $80,000 and bitcoin mining stocks are bleeding. We examine the YTD declines for mining equities, how tariffs could impact miner CAPEX costs by 10-30%, and how the tariffs invite potential mining M&A consolidation.

# Notes:

– Bitcoin dipped below $80K, rebounded to high $70Ks

– Mining stocks down 50%+ YTD across the board

– 34% tariffs announced on Chinese goods

– Hash price compressed to around $40

– Marathon has ~50,000 Bitcoin on balance sheet

– Asics/infrastructure costs rising 10-30% with tariffs
