According to ChainCatcher, citing a Cointelegraph report, the latest data shows that the impact of the January winter storm on Bitcoin mining operations in the U.S. was more pronounced. The data reveals that the daily average output of listed mining companies dropped significantly during the storm. The storm affected most of the continental U.S., forcing miners to scale back operations due to grid strain, snow, ice, and extreme cold weather. This also highlights the close relationship between mining activities and energy market conditions. According to Julio Moreno, head of research at CryptoQuant, the data shows that in the weeks before the storm, the daily average output of listed mining companies tracked by CryptoQuant typically ranged between 70 and 90 Bitcoin per day. However, during the height of the storm, this figure dropped to approximately 30 to 40 Bitcoin per day.
