U.S.-Listed Bitcoin Miners Post Record Q1 Results
Bitcoin miners in the United States reported record earnings in the first quarter of 2025, driven by strong institutional demand. According to JPMorgan, gross profits from public mining companies reached $2.0 billion, marking a historic peak. Average gross margins rose to 53%, signaling a solid recovery across the sector.
While inflation and energy concerns remain, U.S.-listed miners continued to benefit from Bitcoin’s high price and improved operational efficiency. The average price of Bitcoin during Q1 stayed above $100,000, boosting revenue across the board. Four out of five miners tracked by JPMorgan achieved record-breaking revenue and profit margins this quarter.
JPMorgan analysts observed this growth despite rising operational expenses and increased mining difficulty. Even so, efficient infrastructure and upgraded mining equipment helped miners maintain profitability. Additionally, market confidence remained strong amid sustained demand from retail and institutional buyers.
Bitcoin (BTC) Performance Supports Mining Revenue Boost
Bitcoin’s elevated trading range in early 2025 significantly improved the financial performance of major mining companies. BTC hovered near $105,000 throughout the quarter, maintaining investor confidence in mining profitability. The stable uptrend also encouraged continued capital inflows into mining infrastructure projects.
Consequently, the increase in block rewards and transaction fees added to the miners’ revenue. Public miners leveraged these market conditions to expand operations and invest in more energy-efficient technologies. Their ability to generate stable cash flow despite halving pressures also reassured shareholders.
Besides, Bitcoin’s limited supply and increasing institutional demand played a key role in supporting higher market prices. While volatility persists, miners benefit from steady price floors, helping maintain high gross margins. This trend aligns with broader predictions for Bitcoin’s long-term value appreciation.
JPMorgan Maintains Positive Outlook Despite Geopolitical Tensions
Despite global uncertainties, JPMorgan expects oil prices to remain stable through 2025 under its base scenario. The firm projected oil prices to stay in the low-to-mid $60 range, barring major geopolitical shocks. This stability reduces inflationary risks that could otherwise impact mining operations globally.
However, tensions in the Middle East have raised concerns about potential disruptions in energy markets. Iranian threats and U.S. troop repositioning have heightened fears of conflict near key oil supply routes. If the Strait of Hormuz closes, oil prices could reach $120–130 per barrel, according to JPMorgan.

Even with these risks, current oil prices remain close to $70 per barrel, only slightly above fair value estimates. JPMorgan analysts noted that only severe supply cuts would lead to higher oil shocks. Thus far, the risk premium appears partially reflected in current energy markets.
Future Outlook
Bitcoin miners delivered a strong start to 2025, driven by favorable prices and efficient operations. JPMorgan’s report confirms growing profitability across the U.S. mining sector, despite external risks. Continued Bitcoin strength and controlled energy costs may support further gains in the quarters ahead.
