Crypto Billionaire Novogratz Says 2024 Is Pivotal for Bitcoin Mining Industry

As a seasoned researcher with over a decade of experience in the financial markets, I find Mike Novogratz’s recent statements about Bitcoin mining in 2024 particularly intriguing. Having closely followed the crypto market since its inception, I can attest to its incredible resilience and adaptability in navigating economic lows.


In a recent social media post, cryptocurrency mogul Mike Novogratz stated that 2024 is a “pivotal” year for Bitcoin mining. 

He has stated that the industry managed to display “incredible resilience” through economic lows.  

As an analyst, I’d like to bring your attention to the salient cryptocurrency mining trends highlighted in the latest Galaxy Digital report that I’ve recently come across. These insights offer valuable perspective for the current year.

One significant advancement this year involves the fusion of cryptocurrency mining, artificial intelligence (AI), and high-performance computing (HPC).

In a recent social media post, Novogratz stated that the combination of AI/HPC technology with mining is significantly altering the industry, opening up fresh prospects, and underscoring the importance of reliable energy sources.

A new hashrate target 

Galaxy Digital has adjusted its end-of-year hash rate goal, raising it to an estimated 775 exahash (that’s a quintillion hashes per second). The company is confident that public mining operations could potentially manage around 30% of the total network hash rate.

anticipates that the combination of mining equipment will significantly improve in efficiency. Yet, there remains much ambiguity regarding the implementation of these devices.

To ensure that Bitcoin’s hashrate continues to thrive, it’s crucial for the price of Bitcoin to stay within approximately $65,000 and $70,000. If the price drops below this range, mining Bitcoin could become financially unviable.

Remarkably, the challenge of mining Bitcoins saw a substantial decrease, falling below 80 trillion for the first time since the last halving occurred in early July.

More capital 

At the start of the year, Bitcoin mining businesses raised an unprecedented sum of investment funds.

The capital was necessary in order to build cash buffers and improve the efficiency of equipment.    

Galaxy Digital anticipates that substantial fundraising efforts will persist during the latter half of the year.
