最近比特币价格的下跌并不是该领域的人必须应对的唯一事情。它已经蔓延到社区的其他重要方面，例如采矿。由于比特币价值下降，公共和私人矿工最近经营困难，现金流量直线下降。然而，这并不是这些矿工不得不处理的唯一问题。公共矿工的采矿生产受到重创。
在非常成功的 2021 年底，许多公共比特币矿工提出了如何改进 BTC 生产的路线图。这些公司中的每一家都对他们希望将哈希率带到哪里提出了很高的承诺。当然，鉴于当时市场表现良好，投资者没有理由怀疑这些计划。但 2022 年上半年描绘了一幅残酷的画面。
在公开比特币挖矿方面，Marathon Digital 无疑是该领域的领导者之一，在履行其提高 BTC 产量的承诺方面，它的挣扎最为艰难。 Marathon 以 462 BTC 的稀有产量拉开了这一年的序幕。然而，从那以后，其产量持续下降。到 5 月底，这家矿业公司只生产了 268 个比特币，比 1 月份的产量下降了 42%。

其他顶级公共矿工的情况类似。尽管并非所有人都像 Marathon 一样经历了稳定的暴跌，但他们一直无法保持 BTC 产量的持续增长。就连 Core Scientific 也发现自己陷入了这种困境。

Bitfarms 是唯一的例外，它在 2022 年上半年继续保持稳定增长。从这个角度来看，Bitfarms 在 1 月份生产了 301 个 BTC。 5 月底，生产的 BTC 已上涨 43% 至 431 BTC。
在过去五个月中，许多这些公司都面临着挖矿难度的增加。此外，鉴于比特币价格暴跌，他们继续处理现金流和盈利能力问题。这些损失也在其股价中占有重要地位。对于 Marathon Digital，其股价从年初至今的高点 83.45 美元下跌至撰写本文时的当前价格 6.87 美元。这表明仅去年一年就下降了 81%。

尽管如此，比特币区块产量再次上升。现在每小时生产 6.23 个区块，而前一周为每小时 5.86 个区块，增加了 6.19%。然而，矿工收入仍然低迷，上周下降了 0.76%。

随着价格下跌，比特币矿工面临失去更多现金流的风险。据预测，如果目前的熊市持续下去，大量矿工将因无力为其挖矿活动提供资金而倒闭。
