Bitcoin Miners Eye Favorable Outlook Amid Trump Election Odds Surge

Bernstein analysts suggested that a promising scenario for Bitcoin miners is unfolding amidst what they term the "Trump factor," sparked by a failed assassination attempt on the former President at a rally in Pennsylvania.

In a note to clients, analysts Gautam Chhugani and Mahika Sapra outlined factors favoring miners, including a potential shift towards pro-Bitcoin policies under a Trump administration, the U.S. emerging as a key hub for mining, advancements in mining technology, and collaborations with AI data centers.

Following the incident, Bitcoin initially dipped but swiftly recovered as Trump’s resilience buoyed sentiment, leading to a price jump from $59,250 to $63,000, dubbed the “Trump pump.”

With Polymarket’s election odds favoring Trump at 71%, up from 60% pre-incident, the market perceives a Trump victory as more beneficial for crypto due to his favorable stance compared to Biden’s regulatory approach.
