Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today, Colin, Charlie, and Matt break down about the sharp decline in Bitcoin network hash rate and how Bitcoin narrowly dodged a "royal flush" of negative difficulty adjustments. We analyze Riot’s $500M ATM offering, TeraWulf’s latest financing for AI compute, and the Semler Scientific-Strive merger. Plus, for this week’s cry corner, David Beckham's Prenetics pivots away from its bitcoin treasury strategy.
