The stocks have been weak as Bitcoin prices slid, reducing the value of mined coins.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>The stocks have also come under pressure because it’s getting tougher to mine, or produce, Bitcoins, reducing the number and value of coins per miner.

But Brendler doesn’t expect the company to produce more than 1,100 coins in December.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Riot Blockchain, for its part, would have to mine 391 Bitcoins in December to meet Brendler’s fourth-quarter estimates, compared with 464 coins mined in October.

Most miners can be quite profitable with Bitcoin at $50,000. The network’s hash rate, or computing power devoted to mining, typically declines a bit as prices weaken. The hash rate has been rising for months, but sustained weakness in Bitcoin prices could slow its growth.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Another positive take, says Brendler, is that leverage may be washing out of Bitcoin as prices correct.
