It is good for miners that there is an increase in their revenue before the halving, BTC miners make the bulk of their reward from block subsidy and once the halving happens, their block subsidy reward is halved, miners may also have to sell old gears to buy new and more efficient ones. So the period immediately after the halving is not such a good time for miners, so good that their revenue is higher leading up to the halving.

It is a reflection of the price increase, but since halving will be soon, these revenues will decrease if the price of Bitcoin does not continue to rise. The most important of them is the average costs of Bitcoin mining compared to block reward, which is approximately $40k^*. Any price above that is profits for them.

* It is based on assumptions and each mining pool will have different calculations.

Mining is very profitable if electricity costs are low and debt costs are very low. The problem is always in a falling market and short-term debt repayment periods with a high interest rate, which is what happened in 2022, so the companies that were able to withstand will achieve good profits.

You think I don't get it? Of course not, I've been following this kind of news for a long time. It will be much more interesting after the next halving, which will be in a few weeks.

P.S. In my mind, it's going to be much more interesting. From year to year, the revenue of mining companies will grow exponentially. The answer is obvious, the demand for cryptocurrency will be much higher and bitcoin issuance will be limited as much as possible. Remember this!
