BitGo inherits revenue scale but no disclosed margin on the acquired unit. NYDIG inherits a multi-gigawatt power ambition and the obligation to turn claimed footprint into returns.
OCEAN still books 2.5% to 3% of network hashrate, enough to register any miner migration to Dashjr's new CONVOY venture. The corporate split alone is not the story.
The $3B gap between operating and contracted AI cloud revenue is the bull case the market has to underwrite. Financing costs of up to 9% don't pause while delivery slips.
Six of seven miners fell during a 21.5% BTC rally, and a two-year beta analysis confirms the decoupling is structural.
The 50-week moving average is the key cycle boundary, with two weekly closes below it historically marking the end of Bitcoin bull markets.
