Bitcoin $BTC mining companies are now being encouraged to hold on to the Bitcoin they mine instead of selling it. John Glover, the chief investment officer at the Bitcoin lending company Ledn, says miners should use their Bitcoin as collateral to get loans in regular money (fiat currency) to pay for their operations. This way, they don’t miss out if the price of Bitcoin goes up later.
Glover explains that keeping Bitcoin has several benefits: it can gain value over time, taxes can be delayed, and miners can even make extra money by lending out their Bitcoin. Since miners believe in Bitcoin’s future value, he says it’s better not to sell it too early.
This borrowing strategy is similar to what companies like MicroStrategy do. They raise money by issuing debt or selling shares and then use that money to buy more Bitcoin, taking advantage of the differences between how Bitcoin and fiat currencies work.
Right now, the Bitcoin $BTC mining industry is under a lot of pressure. Profits are shrinking because more computing power is being used on the network. Bitcoin-backed loans could help struggling miners stay in business.
On top of that, trade policies from U.S. President Donald Trump have made things worse. High tariffs are increasing the cost of mining equipment, like ASICs, which are essential for mining. These rising costs are making it harder for miners to operate.
