Mining industry executives have mobilized politically, having recently met with 2024 presidential candidate Donald Trump. Political advocacy has gained industry-wide traction ahead of the 2024 presidential election.


Mining stocks saw gains in recent weeks as the crypto industry came under sharper focus due to political developments. Mining stocks rose 10% after former President Trump promised to support the mining industry.


According to Trump, “All the remaining Bitcoin [should] be made in the USA,” signaling his desire to bring more of the highly competitive industry to the United States and not let anti-innovation regulators drive miners to other jurisdictions. 


Bitcoin mining stocks surged on July 15, alongside Bitcoin (BTC), after selling pressure from the German government ceased and tumultuous political developments in the US raised the odds of former President Trump’s chances of winning the election on predictive markets.


The rise in Bitcoin mining stocks is accompanied by a growing trend of US-based Bitcoin miners holding on to their coins in anticipation of greater future profits. Marathon Digital did not sell any of its Bitcoin mined in June despite mining being a capital-intensive business typically requiring periodic BTC sales to pay operational costs.
