Bitcoin miners shaken by worsening profitability as bitcoin selling surges
Listed bitcoin mining firms sold more than 32,000 BTC in the first quarter of 2026, exceeding the total sold in all of 2025, Cointelegraph reported. Mining profitability has deteriorated, with hashprice falling below $35 per PH/s per day, near a break-even level for many operators. Industry reserves have declined to about 1.8 million BTC. CoinShares expects further capitulation by high-cost miners if prices do not recover.

Billionaire Marc Andreessen says AI will create a job boom, layoff fears are wrong
Silicon Valley investor Marc Andreessen said fears that artificial intelligence will destroy jobs are fake and predicted a large job boom. He argued that higher productivity from AI will expand demand and increase employment. U.S. employment data released around the same time sent mixed signals, including a rise in long-term unemployment. Companies including Block, Crypto.com, Oracle and Mara Holdings have also reported headcount cuts tied to AI shifts.

Bitcoin short bets pile up on oil surge; $72,000 is turning point
An estimate says about $2.5 billion in bitcoin futures short positions could be liquidated if bitcoin rebounds to $72,000. With short positions heavily built up, analysts cited the possibility of a short squeeze if war risks ease or funds return to spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds. Oil’s surge after the U.S.-Iran war, corporate selling, and macro pressure were cited as drivers of bearish bets. Negative perpetual funding rates also suggest increased short bias.
