Difficulty crossing 150 trillion puts real pressure on miners with higher cost structures. CIFR's Texas operations and recent data center deals with AWS give them some insulation through their energy arbitrage model, but they'll need to keep upgrading to more efficent hardware. Companies that can't maintain sub $0.04/kWh power costs are going to struggle at these levels.
