Recently, Riot Platforms, a leading Bitcoin mining company, released its December operational data. The monthly mining output was 460 BTC, an increase from 428 BTC in November, with capacity continuing to improve. However, interestingly, they immediately sold 1818 BTC, generating a net profit of approximately $161.6 million from this transaction. This move directly reduced their BTC reserves — their current holdings have dropped to 18,005 BTC. It seems that this mining company is increasing production while also flexibly adjusting its holdings, possibly to manage liquidity or based on their own judgment of short-term market conditions. The actions of such top mining companies are definitely worth paying attention to.

16 million dollars worth of assets sold in one go, is this to dump the market or are they really short on cash? --- Riot's move is quite clever, mining while selling, the rhythm is very on point. --- Damn, selling over 1800 coins all at once, how idle must they be? --- Are they just proud of increasing production by 460 BTC? Then turning around and selling 1818, still thinking big, bro. --- Feels like they're preparing for the upcoming bearish news? Or isn't it better to hold onto it comfortably? --- Mining companies are offloading, and retail investors will have to take the hit again. --- I'm a bit curious whether they are truly bearish or just adjusting liquidity. --- 16 million USD credited, now that's a real money-making machine.

Sold 1818 units? This pace doesn't seem right. Production capacity is increasing, yet positions are being cut. Do you have some thoughts about the future market?

Raising capacity and mining to sell immediately—this rhythm doesn't seem right... Could it be bearish?

Selling so much? Might as well keep stacking... --- Production capacity has increased quite a bit, but just turned around and dumped 1818 coins, a bit urgent or not --- Invested 1.6 billion USD, this rhythm is a bit interesting --- Mining companies are starting to "flexibly adjust," just listening makes it clear they're offloading --- This logic is a bit hard to understand... Mine while selling, holdings dropped from over 60,000 to 18,000 --- Riot's moves feel like they're timing the market, probably know something --- It's both liquidity management and market judgment, in plain terms, forced selling --- Mining companies stacking Bitcoin are actually selling, this is definitely a signal

Miners are overproducing, increasing capacity, but still have to dump inventory to maintain cash flow. This logic doesn't hold up even on an hourly basis... Hang in there, the historical lows are not far away.

Mining for increased production and selling coins—this combo move is really clever. The last time I saw such an operation was during the pre-bull market setup, but this time it feels more like building momentum.
