Several BTC miners briefly stopped operations as a result of the December winter storm.
Insolvent Bitcoin (BTC) miner Core Scientific saw its production rise by over 5% in December to 1,435 BTC from 1,356 BTC recorded in November, according to a January 9 press statement, as noted by Cryptoslate.
Core Scientific reportedly stated that at this period, their self-mining hash rate jumped to 15.7 EH/s from 15.4 EH/s. This information was provided to Cryptoslate.
A further claim made by the miner was that as of December, its total hash rate was 23.7 EH/s, which included the data center services it provided to its customers. According to Core Scientific, the production of its clients climbed from 795 BTC to 931 BTC.
“There were 5,828 and 17,179-kilowatt hours worth of interruptions in November and December, respectively. To improve the reliability of the electrical system, Core Scientific collaborates with the local governments and utility providers where it does business.

Core Scientific formally for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on December 21. The miner owes the largest debts ($1.3 million), according to later sources, of all the publicly listed BTC mining businesses, Cryptoslate stated.
The correlation of assets, which is rated between 1 and 0, gauges how one asset moves in relation to another. Both assets would be regarded as strongly connected and their correlation rate would be 1 if they moved in the same direction simultaneously. Similarly to this, their correlation rate would be zero if they moved in opposite directions.
The connection has grown, which suggests that more people are using bitcoin. Given that Bitcoin and gold have comparable foundations, their movement in the same direction might suggest that investors have begun to view Bitcoin as digital gold.
Peter Wall, the CEO of Argo, a bitcoin mining startup, made reference to this rise in popularity as the correlation rates increased. In an interview he did on May 30, Wall called bitcoin “Gold 2.0” and compared it to gold because of its finite supply.
