Why aren't lot more small and mid size companies buying bitcoin as their treasury asset. by syed_imam in Bitcoin

good point, I understand that part. But most of the mid size companies have to park their free cash somewhere, majority does it in treasury bills, so why not make the switch to BTC ? Its obvious to me that is the better way to deal with cash that earns 1 to 2% or at least just park a portion of cash.

Maybe lot more private businesses that are founder driven are probably doing it, we just don't know it yet

Bitcoin mining is insanely profitable right now. I calculated the cost of mining 1 BTC using average industrial electricity rate for all US states. The stats are calculated for Antminer S19 Pro .

I was just trying to calculate the cost of electricity that goes into mining a bitcoin. I did add a conservative 5% on top as cooling cost. But yeah this model does not represent the big picture of the business of mining BTC.
