February 29, 2024

Bitcoin-mining stocks are pulling back Thursday following recent strength. Some stocks in the sector may also be down in sympathy with Marathon Digital Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:MARA) and as the recent Bitcoin rally cools Thursday.

What To Know:

Marathon Digital shares are trading down by more than 16%, leading the mining companies lower Thursday. The company reported mixed fourth-quarter results after the bell Wednesday, however, HC Wainwright & Co. maintained its Buy rating and raised the price target from $24 to $35 following the print.

As previously reported by Benzinga, Bitcoin miners' stocks have outpaced Bitcoin over the past month, possibly due to better-than-expected earnings results. The crypto-mining industry may be experiencing an outsized reaction to Marathon Digital's mixed fourth-quarter results and the subdued Bitcoin price action Thursday as Bitcoin trades around the $61,000 mark.

Some of the other Bitcoin mining stocks trading lower include Bitfarms Ltd. (NASDAQ:BITF), Cleanspark, Inc. (NASDAQ:CLSK) and Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIOT).
