7th Bitcoin Miner from Wall Street Reports a Drop in BTC Production in November

Core Scientific (NASDAQ: CORZ), one of the publicly listed Bitcoin miners from Wall Street, reported a decline in BTC production for November, aligning with a broader industry trend. The company continues to pursue its strategic expansion plans in Texas, according to the monthly operational update released today (Thursday).

Core Scientific Reports Decreased Bitcoin Production in November

The blockchain infrastructure company, one of the biggest Wall Street BTC companies based on the market cap, mined 314 Bitcoin in November, marking a 14.9% decrease from October’s 369 Bitcoin. Daily production averaged 10.5 Bitcoin, compared to 11.9 in the previous month, while maintaining a self-mining fleet efficiency of 24.8 J/TH.

Although Bitcoin reached record highs in November, nearing the $100,000 mark, the increase in mining difficulty led to lower production by miners. However, they still earned approximately 25% more than in October.
