Core Scientific Is Stacking More Bitcoin Even While Selling — Here's What That Means

WHY IT MATTERS

Think of Core Scientific like a gold mining company. Normally, miners dig up gold and sell it right away to pay their bills. But imagine a gold miner who starts keeping some of the gold in a vault instead of selling all of it — that means they believe the gold will be worth more in the future. That's essentially what Core Scientific is doing with Bitcoin. Even though they're still selling some Bitcoin to cover expenses, they're mining more than they sell, so their Bitcoin 'piggy bank' is growing. This matters because when big mining companies hold onto their Bitcoin instead of dumping it on the market, there's less Bitcoin available for sale, which can help support or push up the price over time.
