April

Rise

Reported by Cointelegraph, according to data from CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju, the current cost of mining using Antminer S19 XPs will rise from $40,000 to $80,000 after the Bitcoin halving in mid-April.
The Bitcoin halving is a milestone event occurring every 210,000 blocks or roughly every four years. The halving event cuts the block reward earned by miners by half.
Apart from indirectly impacting the price of Bitcoin the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-halving-2024">halving</a> event significantly impacts miner behavior, as mining costs double to earn the same amount of BTC.
After the May 2020 halving, the price for miners to continue mining profitably rose above $30,000, but the price of BTC also pumped to a new all-time high of $69,000 during the same cycle.
The average Bitcoin mining cost as of April 6 is $49,902, and the BTC price is above $70,000 at the time of writing. After the halving on April 20, average mining costs will rise above $80,000, and for miners to continue operating profitably, the BTC price must trade higher than that price.
Historically, BTC prices have seen a multifold jump in price after the halving. Following the 2012 halving, the price of Bitcoin increased by around 9,000% to $1,162.
After the 2016 halving, the price of Bitcoin increased by about 4,200% to $19,800, and after the 2020 halving, the price of Bitcoin increased by almost 683% to $69,000.
Thus, miners have remained profitable despite fears of going out of business after each halving. Halving events also make several mining machines obsolete, as they can’t compete with the high hashing power demand.
After each halving, there comes a period when the BTC price remains below the miner’s profitable price. This <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-miners-rethink-business-strategies-to-survive-long-term">period is marred by uncertainty</a> and an increased selling of mining rigs, coupled with many small and lone miners often going out of business.
However, as demand increases due to the declining market supply, the price picks up and often rises higher than the average mining costs for miners.
