Aug 1, 2024 9:13 AM

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) mining stocks Marathon Digital Holdings Inc ( MARA ) and CleanSpark Inc ( CLSK ) are in the spotlight Thursday ahead of earnings. Here’s what you need to know.

What To Know: Bitcoin mining stocks are volatile on Thursday following Riot Platforms Inc’s second-quarter financial results.

Riot missed analyst estimates on the top and bottom lines, reporting revenue of $70.018 million and a quarterly loss of 32 cents per share.

“The second quarter saw the Bitcoin network ‘halving’ in April of this year, a preprogrammed event whereby the Bitcoin block subsidy received by miners from the network is cut in half every four years. Despite this reduction in available production for all Bitcoin miners, Riot posted $70.0 million in revenue for the quarter and maintained strong gross margins in our core Bitcoin mining business,” said Jason Les, CEO of Riot.

Following the print, HC Wainwright & Co. analyst Mike Colonnese reiterated Riot with a Buy rating and maintained a price target of $17.
