of miners with cheap power, reputable management teams, as well
as diversification of revenue and geography

miners, while investor focus will shift to "quality" players
like BTDR - Rosenblatt
** BTDR trades at a discount to peers driven by its more
complex business model - brokerage
** All six brokerages rate the stock "buy" or higher; their
median PT is $13.50 - LSEG data
