The Navajo Nation is mining Bitcoin. Here’s why.
|
The Navajo people are tired of the dollar’s legacy. So, they're mining Bitcoin. Compass Mining recently took a film crew to New Mexico in an effort to better understand why the Navajo people are mining Bitcoin.

Public mining operations are primarily funded through equity.
|
A company can raise capital in two ways, either through debt or equity. So far, public miners have opted for equity to expand operations evidenced by their financial leverage ratio. As the mining industry matures, it’s reasonable to expect a transition to
debt financing over equity.

|
Bitcoin miners don’t really move market prices.
|
Early in Bitcoin’s history, a miner selling a portion of their payouts may have had a noticeable effect on Bitcoin’s price. But that’s not true at all today. Unfortunately, because this theory inescapably arises during nearly every mid- or
large-sized market selloff, it is always worth revisiting.

Here’s a comparison between hashrate managers and traditional mining pools.
|
Bitcoin miners must join a mining pool to get paid regularly. But not all pools serve their miners the same. Miners need to understand how hashrate managers operate compared to regular mining pools.

|
Ethereum mining revenue remains steady despite $1 billion burnt ether.
|
Demand to use the Ethereum network is apparent in the monthly numbers compared to earlier 2021 months. For example, October’s burn value (sans priority fee) surpassed May’s record transaction fee totals.
