币界网报道:Bitcoin mining profitability surged 18.2% in May driven by a 20% BTC price increase and a modest 3.5% network hashrate gain, according to Jefferies. Analysts noted BTC's rally mirrors gold's performance as investors seek inflation hedges amid concerns over growing U.S. fiscal deficits. U.S.-listed miners produced 3,754 BTC in May, up from 3,278 in April, with North American miners representing 26.3% of the total network. MARA Holdings led with 950 BTC mined (35% monthly increase), followed by CleanSpark's 694 BTC. MARA maintained the highest hashrate at 58.3 EH/s, while Jefferies lowered its MARA price target to $16 but kept its hold rating.
