TechFlow reports, Hut 8 CEO Asher Gennot said bankruptcies among Bitcoin (BTC) mining companies in the coming years will be far less common than in 2022. The 2022 bankruptcies were primarily driven by excessive leverage and inability to manage rising energy costs. However, Gennot noted that since then, Bitcoin mining firms have typically relied on less leverage and more debt-free capital from equity markets to grow their operations. He expects to see increased merger and acquisition activity among smaller-scale Bitcoin mining companies, which could significantly reduce bankruptcy rates. Gennot explained that Bitcoin may need to retreat to $30,000 or $40,000 before significant M&A activity or "distressed opportunities" emerge.
