Less than four hours after Trump's roundtable wrapped, the former president took to social media to extol the virtues of the bitcoin mining business. "Bitcoin mining may be our last line of defense against a CBDC," Trump posted shortly before midnight on Tuesday. "That's where you've got all these ancillary jobs; it's not just the bitcoin mining directly," said Cook. Enter bitcoin miners. Adding bitcoin miners to the portfolio of energy buyers has helped to improve the core economics of renewable power production.

The technical event is relatively simple: Bitcoin miners get paid in bitcoin to validate transactions, and after 210,000 blocks of transactions are computed and added to the main chain, the reward given to the miners securing bitcoin is 'halved.' The aggregate market cap of the 14 U.S.-listed bitcoin miners tracked by JPMorgan analysts declined 28% over the first half of April to $14.2 billion, reaching year-to-date lows. Some have billed the 2024 bitcoin halving as a seminal moment for the mining sector. Marathon, along with other mining firms, has begun diversifying its business model into ancillary operations beyond purely bitcoin mining. Sullivan continued, "Bitcoin mining sites can only be repurposed if they meet the attributes that are required for HPC.

Just over a year after the crypto winter sent bitcoin miner Core Scientific spiraling into bankruptcy, the Texas-based company is back on the Nasdaq. Even in bankruptcy, Core invested in developing its infrastructure. The public markets have been going big in mining since bitcoin started rebounding. Bitcoin miners have pared back gains in the last few weeks as the price of bitcoin has fallen, and in April, a market-moving event dubbed the "halving" will cut the prize that miners receive in half. "We recommend achieving Bitcoin exposure via Bitcoin miners."

It has been a good summer for the S & P 500 , even when accounting for the August slump. This summer has brought another quarterly earnings season , one interest rate hike and one skip , plus some renewed banking fears. Shares have given up some of the summer gains in August, putting the stock on trend with the broader market's move. Slightly less than one out of every two analysts rate the stock a buy.

Companies Marathon Petroleum Corp FollowMay 15 (Reuters) - A Marathon Petroleum <MPC.N> worker has died from injuries suffered in a fire that broke out on Monday at the company's giant Galveston Bay Refinery in Texas City, Texas, the company said. "A Marathon employee has passed away as a result of the fire today at Marathon Petroleum's Galveston Bay refinery," company spokesperson Jamal Kheiry said in an emailed response to Reuters. The Texas City Emergency Management Department said on Twitter earlier that a shelter-in-place order was not needed. A contract worker died in March after receiving an electric shock at the refinery. Texas City is located 42 miles (68 km) southeast of Houston.
Companies Marathon Petroleum Corp FollowMay 2 (Reuters) - Marathon Petroleum Corp (MPC.N) topped Wall Street profit estimates on Tuesday as sustained fuel demand and tight crude supplies boosted its margins, prompting the top U.S. refiner to expand its share buyback programme by $5 billion. Pandemic-era closure of facilities and demand recovery have lifted refiners' margins, further bolstered by tight crude supplies following Russia's invasion of Ukraine and a jump in jet fuel demand owed to a travel boom. Marathon refining and marketing margin soared 70.8% to $26.15 per barrel for the January-March quarter, compared with a year earlier. "With operating costs in line with expectations and stronger utilization, Marathon Petroleum captured stronger refining margins, notably on the U.S. Gulf Coast and in the Midwest," Third Bridge analyst Peter McNally said. Marathon returned $3.5 billion to investors through share buybacks and dividends in the first quarter, and repurchased $1.2 billion of shares last month.
Wells Fargo is less optimistic on the future performance of oil refinery stocks Analyst Roger Read downgraded both Valero Energy and Marathon Petroleum to equal weight from overweight. "We raise the caution flag on the refining sector," he said in a note to clients Tuesday. Jet inventory, meanwhile, is "well above" where it was a year ago but still below the average levels seen historically. Demand has also recovered compared with the long-term average but still sits below levels seen before the pandemic.

The Keys are also the first flock of canaries in the coal mine of climate change. The hurricane made undeniable what previous floods had only suggested: that climate change will someday make life in the archipelago impossible to sustain. The decision to leave, on the other hand, which once signified surrender, now looks more like acceptance of the inevitable. It's this messiness that is reflected in the word "displacement": the migratory shifts caused by climate change are as chaotic as the weather events that cause them. This is an excerpt adapted from THE GREAT DISPLACEMENT: Climate Change and the Next American Migration by Jake Bittle.
