S&P Global Market Intelligence said that CleanSpark (NASDAQ: CLSK) gained nearly 9%, Cipher Mining (NASDAQ: CIFR) gained over 12%, and Hut 8 (NASDAQ: HUT) gained just under 27%.

Bitcoin's latest halving is imminent. For those unfamiliar, a halving cuts bitcoin mining incentives in half. A halving reduces the supply of a coin or token, specifically Bitcoin, which will be capped at 21 million coins. When 210,000 blocks of transactions are created, the coin halves.

The halving will likely happen in April. Any investor knows that demand rises as supply decreases. This is the core of price increases.

In May 2020, six months after the latest event, Bitcoin's price rose 79%. The price rose 547% in a year after the half.

Bitcoin and related assets are good bets right now.

The U.S. and worldwide economy continue to provide tailwinds, with inflation falling daily and Federal Reserve officials remaining determined to decrease interest rates, albeit not immediately.

It helps that spot ETFs are easy to invest in. This strongly supports Bitcoin miners. Bitcoin prices should defy gravity as long as investors believe in them.
