Investors can benefit by valuing miners’ assets as efficient power shells with data center capabilities, as opposed to just bitcoin mining operations, the report said.
The bank sees limited upside for the bitcoin price in the near term due to a number of headwinds.
The cryptocurrency is now trading below the average spot ETF purchase price of about $58K, and this could trigger liquidations, the report said.
The bank reiterated its year-end bitcoin and ether targets of $150,000 and $8,000, respectively.
Stock appears undervalued given the wide gap between the company’s valuation and its growth prospects, the report said.
Investors are pouring money into spot ETFs while avoiding miners due to risks related to Bitcoin’s halving event.
The bitcoin production cost has historically acted as a lower boundary to the cryptocurrency’s price, the report said.
The amount of ether held on exchanges is at an all-time low of 11%, a sign that more of the cryptocurrency is being locked up for DeFi, the report said.
Increased retail activity comes ahead of the three main catalysts in the coming months: the bitcoin halving, the Dencun upgrade of the Ethereum blockchain and the potential approval of spot ether ETFs, the report said.
