<li>Bitcoin could find the bottom and strongly rebounded in 1Q23. We believe BTC mining companies could be sellers of crypto assets on strong bounce and limit room for further upside. </li>
<li>Our bear case scenario assumes an average BTC price of $25K in 2023 with an opportunity to reach as high as $30K. Leading crypto miners began to offload Bitcoin holdings. </li>
<li>Investors should be more selective on the crypto miner names during a prolonged bear market. Our top picks include Marathon Digital Holdings, Riot Blockchain, and Cipher Mining. </li>

Bitcoin could find the bottom and strongly rebounded in 1Q23. We believe BTC mining companies could be sellers of crypto assets on strong bounce and limit room for further upside. 
Our bear case scenario assumes an average BTC price of $25K in 2023 with an opportunity to reach as high as $30K. Leading crypto miners began to offload Bitcoin holdings. 
Investors should be more selective on the crypto miner names during a prolonged bear market. Our top picks include Marathon Digital Holdings, Riot Blockchain, and Cipher Mining.

Bitcoin mining companies continue to suffer from crypto winter’s market conditions: substantial drop in mining rig prices, low cryptocurrency prices, heightened volatility, and unprofitable mining operations.
We are looking for bright spots and believe Marathon Digital Holdings and Riot Blockchain will survive the crypto winter with the opportunity to win market share in the coming years.

<li>During the last three months, the crypto market has lost ~$2 trillion in value and slightly recovered in July when BTC bulls could hold a $20K price level. </li>
<li>Bitcoin mining economics changed dramatically, and depressed BTC prices forced inefficient miners out of the market. Some BTC mining companies started to sell Bitcoins to cover OpEx and CapEx. </li>
<li>We remain bullish on <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/marathon-digital-holdings-inc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:33244:1" rel="noopener">Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA US)</a> and upgrade <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/riot-blockchain-inc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:35453:1" rel="noopener">Riot Blockchain (RIOT US)</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/cipher-mining" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:33309:1" rel="noopener">Cipher Mining (CIFR US)</a>  to Overweight on favorable risk-reward post-recent sell-off.</li>
