Executives from SATO Technologies, Bitfarms, and Bitdeer Technologies Group shared insights on how to mitigate potential revenue impacts due to the halving.
The speakers presented a range of proactive measures aimed at sustaining profitability when the Bitcoin block reward is expected to decrease. These strategies include maintaining robust capital reserves, enhancing fleet efficiency, and fostering innovation. Romain Nouzareth of SATO Technologies proposed the conversion of dormant energy sources into computational power to strengthen Bitcoin's network infrastructure.
