According to CoinDesk, JPMorgan noted in a report that Bitcoin mining stocks performed strongly in 2026, with the total market capitalization of 14 U.S.-listed mining companies tracked by them increasing by $11 billion in a single month, a 23% month-over-month rise to $60 billion, far exceeding the performance of the S&P 500 index during the same period.The report believes this is mainly due to the winter storm causing a decrease in overall network hash rate, as well as market optimism regarding mining companies' transition to high-performance computing (HPC).
