 <p class="paragraph">As the date of its halving approaches (<em>April 15</em>), Bitcoin (BTC) has shown resilience and growth potential, and its value is once again soaring above $70,000. Therefore, investors are paying close attention to the related blockchain stocks as cryptocurrency is once again going through a price rally.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">The rising price of Bitcoin is also affecting <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> miners and blockchain-related companies as well. Today’s <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>currency <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="innovator" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/innovator.html">innovator</a> is riding the current trend to beat the odds and climb up from its previous pitfalls. However, its <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="stock" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/stock.html">stock</a> price has yet to keep up with the new-grown value, indicating a potentially lucrative buy opportunity. In this article, we will cover <strong>Riot Platforms</strong> (NASDAQ: RIOT) and explain why you should consider this Bitcoin <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="stock" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/stock.html">stock</a>.</p>
 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-volatile-nature-of-bitcoin">The volatile nature of Bitcoin</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">As we all know, cryptocurrencies are highly volatile assets. Bitcoin, in particular, has exhibited a cyclical pattern of price shifts, with extended bull and bear trends throughout the past couple of years.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">A market rally in 2021 sent Bitcoin to its $69,000 peak, but afterward, the crypto winter of 2022 nearly brought the crypto industry to its knees. However, in 2023 there were signs of a new bull market, and many predict that 2024 will set a new Bitcoin price peak, potentially above $80,000.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Past performance can be a fickle foreteller of the future. Nonetheless, Bitcoin’s current performance has been bringing increasingly more value to blockchain stocks, especially mining-related companies like Riot Platforms.</p>
 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-riot-platforms-attractive-potential">Riot Platforms’ attractive potential</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">Yes, Bitcoin has a high price right now, but the Bitcoin halving date is right on our doorstep. In other words, the same amount of mining effort will yield half as much Bitcoin. This will likely have a negative impact on small-scale mining operations, potentially leaving them without rewards.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Fortunately, Riot Platforms is anything but small-scale. In fact, the company runs the largest Bitcoin mining farm in the United States. It is located in Rockdale, Texas, and has a total power capacity of 700 MW. Furthermore, the company intends to develop a new 1 GW mining facility in Corsicana, which should massively increase the company’s mining hash rate.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Riot Platforms therefore has a more reliable growth strategy and mining scalability potential than most of its rival Bitcoin miners, who will probably have to resort to acquiring or developing smaller sites to meet the rising demand and hash rate goals.&nbsp;</p>
 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-is-riot-platforms-stock-undervalued">Is Riot Platforms’ stock undervalued?</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">Riot Platform’s intrinsic value is tied to Bitcoin, as its primary role is to mine the token. However, while simple investing logic implies that the stock value of Riot Platforms should rise with the Bitcoin rally, the opposite has happened.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Somehow, Riot Platforms stock price trajectory appears inverse to that of Bitcoin. This is especially surprising due to the extended mining capacities, the amount of Bitcoin held by the company (over 8,000 BTC), and the reported annual revenue of $280.7 million in 2023.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Put simply, the company’s valuation relative to Bitcoin is perhaps unjustifiably low, and it could potentially witness a significant market correction. As the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="stock" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/stock.html">stock</a> price chart indicates, this has happened before, and while there are no guarantees, it is considerably likely to happen again.</p>
