$HUT - A quick analysis of cryptocurrency mining operations and why MARA and RIOT might be overvalue...

Summary This is a quick look at a few Canadian and US based crypto mining companies based on market cap and their capability to mine crypto. It looks at overall market cap between these companies and then looks at the ratio of current market cap compared to current mining rates and future mining rates. This is a very simplified view but essentially mining capability = revenue. Thoughts at first glance The US based miners seem overvalued, even when they get new capacity up and running, compared to the Canadian mining operations. I would assume this is due to being listed on OTCs in the US and Canadian Exchanges to less exposure to major capital markets.

This doesn’t account for the crypto they are mining for (Bitcoin vs Ethereum). This does not factor in the costs of running a mining operation or other factors. There are a number of other mining operations out there I just chose a few that I was aware of.
