Why the conviction moved

• Aug 22
  Strengthened +3

  The pivoting energy firm's July mining output of about $1.16 million sits against a $22.9 million capital deficit and interest starting on $16 million of seller notes, with hosting costs still unsettled.

• Aug 21
  Strengthened +4

  HIVE has signed a $350 million artificial-intelligence contract but needs $185 million it does not hold to deliver it, illustrating both the pull of contracted compute revenue over block rewards and the capital gap that separates operators who can complete the conversion from those who default.
