The total market cap of <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/senator-lummis-pushes-for-crypto-regulation-amid-sec-lawsuits/">U.S.</a>-listed Bitcoin mining <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/crypto-mining-stocks-outshine-bitcoins-performance-in-2023/">stocks</a> hit a record high of $22.8 billion in June, according to a report by JPMorgan. The report noted that nearly all the 14 companies tracked by the bank outperformed Bitcoin in the first half of the month. <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/bitcoin-mining-giant-core-scientific-prepares-for-post-bankruptcy-comeback/">Core Scientific</a> was the top performer, with its stock soaring 117%, while <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/argo-blockchains-struggles-continue-with-a-17-drop-in-bitcoin-production/">Argo Blockchain</a> saw a 7% decline. During this period, Bitcoin itself fell by 3%, according to <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2024/06/17/us-listed-bitcoin-miners-reached-record-total-market-cap-of-228b-in-june-jpmorgan/">Coindesk</a>. 
The surge in mining stocks is attributed to positive investor reactions to Core Scientific’s deal with AI firm CoreWeave. Additionally, the overall network hashrate, a measure of industry competition and mining difficulty, has declined by approximately 1% since May. This decrease in hashrate indicates that inefficient private operators have scaled back their operations following April’s reward <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/heat-waves-and-halving-bitcoin-miners-cash-in-amid-rising-prices/">halving</a>. 
U.S.-listed miners have increased their share of the global network hashrate for the second consecutive month, now accounting for 23.8% of the total. This growth reflects a 1% gain from the previous month, suggesting a trend towards greater dominance by publicly traded companies in the Bitcoin mining sector. 
The positive performance of mining stocks despite a slight drop in Bitcoin’s price highlights the market’s confidence in the industry’s long-term potential. Investors are closely watching developments in the sector, especially as regulatory scrutiny and technological advancements continue to shape the landscape.
