In the year 2024, cryptocurrency miners, especially ones mining Bitcoin, reported a surge in revenue from mining BTC and lending their holdings to earn yield to maintain their mining operations. 
As per a recent report by Marathon Digital, the company has lent 7,377 Bitcoins in the just passed year to generate additional income. 
The report published on December 03, 2025, notes that Mara has leveraged its Bitcoin holding to gain additional income to support its operating expenses that require massive energy, leading to massive electricity bills.
The Bitcoin lending program is centered on short-term agreements with trustworthy third parties, Robert Samuels, MARA’s vice president of investor relations said. As the first mining firm to go public, MARA has established itself as a pioneer in the sector by surpassing 50 exahashes per second (EH/s) in processing power.
According to the company’s unaudited December performance report, MARA now has 44,893 BTC in total. MARA bought 22,065 BTC at an average price of $87,205 per coin and mined 9,457 BTC for 2024.BTC miners achieved a new milestone in 2024, and will continue to grow!
Indeed, in the last of December 2024, Bitcoin crossed the $107k mark for the first time, marking a major milestone for miners of the cryptocurrency. 
In November 2024, a number of mining firms announced remarkable output figures. To boost their hash rates and boost productivity, several mining firms are growing their businesses and making investments in new technology. 
These developments put Bitcoin miners in a strong position to keep expanding and hitting new benchmarks in the future.
The price of the cryptocurrency, the difficulty of mining, and the cost of power are some of the variables that affect how profitable Bitcoin mining is. 
Mining gets more lucrative when Bitcoin’s price increases because miners may benefit from transaction fees and block rewards. But they also have to pay for staff, maintenance, hardware, and electricity.
Because altcoin mining has less competition and larger block rewards than Bitcoin mining, it might be more profitable. Participating in mining pools can also boost profitability by dividing rewards and sharing resources.
Miners must diversify their mining portfolio, manage their operations, keep abreast of market developments, and make research and development investments in order to optimize profitability. 
Miners may improve their chances of success and profitability in the cutthroat world of Bitcoin and crypto mining by being aware of these aspects and adjusting to market fluctuations.Bitcoin to cross $200k by 2025!
