What's Going On With Bitcoin Mining Stocks Monday?

Zinger Key Points
  • Bitcoin was last down about 4% over a 24-hour period.
  • Bitcoin mining stocks appear to be moving lower alongside the world's largest cryptocurrency.

Several Bitcoin BTC/USD mining stocks, including Marathon Digital Holdings Inc MARARiot Platforms Inc RIOT and CleanSpark Inc CLSK are trading lower Monday. The moves appear to be due to a pullback in the price of Bitcoin

What To Know: Mining stocks are moving lower as Bitcoin suffers its steepest drop in almost four months following a surge in price to start the month. The pullback in Bitcoin appears to be due to profit taking after the world's largest cryptocurrency rallied more than 13% over the last week and remains up close to 150% year-to-date. 

Much of the recent rally in the broader crypto space has been driven by continued optimism surrounding a potential spot Bitcoin ETF and expectations that the Federal Reserve is likely done hiking rates and could even begin to talk about cutting.

Marathon Digital, Riot Platforms and CleanSpark are all Bitcoin miners.
