Publicly traded cryptocurrency mining companies are experiencing significant growth in 2026, despite ongoing challenges in the broader crypto market. According to Cointelegraph, all ten of the largest publicly traded mining stocks have shown positive year-to-date (YTD) performance, with increases ranging from approximately 5% to over 85%, based on data from Bitcoinminingstock.io. Leading the pack is TeraWulf, Inc., which has seen gains of about 85%. Hut 8 Corp. follows with an increase of roughly 67%, while Riot Platforms, Inc. has risen around 46%. Other notable performers include Core Scientific, Inc., up about 40%, and Applied Digital Corporation, which has climbed roughly 37% YTD. Bitdeer Technologies Group, however, is the weakest among the top ten, with a rise of around 5%. Outside this group, American Bitcoin Corp., a company linked to U.S. President Donald Trump and backed by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., has seen a decline of approximately 29%. These developments occur even as Bitcoin (BTC) remains down about 20% YTD, despite a 17% increase over the past 30 days. The surge in mining stocks coincides with many leading companies expanding into artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) sectors. Riot Platforms recently reported $167.2 million in revenue for the first quarter of 2026, with its data center business contributing $33.2 million, offsetting a decrease in core mining revenue. CEO Jason Les described this period as an “inflection point” as the company shifts towards becoming a revenue-generating data center operator. Core Scientific, Inc. is also enhancing its infrastructure, planning to transform a Texas site into an AI-focused data center campus with a capacity of up to 1.5 gigawatts, including about 1 gigawatt available for leasing. Approximately 300 megawatts currently used for Bitcoin mining at the site will be repurposed for data center operations. In February, HIVE Digital Technologies reported a 219% year-over-year increase in quarterly revenue as it expanded its AI and HPC business, alongside a $30 million contract to deploy Nvidia GPUs for enterprise AI cloud customers. That same month, MARA Holdings, Inc. acquired a 64% stake in French AI data center company Exaion. A recent report from Bernstein suggested that IREN Limited, the largest publicly traded miner by market cap, might eventually phase out its Bitcoin mining operations as it reallocates resources towards GPU-based workloads.
