Following the better than expected report, Core Scientific’s shares jumped 2.59% in After Hours. Combined with the 2.56% it closed with on Wednesday, it has maintained a relatively positive trading week. Investors are particularly hooked as the firm said it has cleared off its outstanding mining machines’ repayment backlog. 
Looking ahead, the company is optimistic in boosting its performance post Bitcoin halving event. It reported that it deployed 28,400 new S19j XP miners that will help expand its mining capacity. Per its Q1 earnings report, Core Scientific is in a better position to sustain its current profitability streak.

Bitcoin mining companies like Core Scientific are at the forefront of the beneficiaries’ list with the enhanced market surge. In the first quarter, the <a href="https://coingape.com/spot-bitcoin-etf-trading-officially-resumes-on-national-exchanges/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spot Bitcoin ETF</a> product went live in the US. After months of lobbying, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) came around to approve the listing of the products. 
This move boosted the market sentiment and sent the price of Bitcoin to an All-Time High (ATH) of $73,750.07. This growth boosted the profitability of mined Bitcoin units for miners. From its report, Core Scientific benefitted immensely from this positive market rebirth. 
With the halving out of the way, the firm is in a unique position to compete with the expansion of its capacity across the board.
