The Bitcoin halving cuts miners' rewards, reducing income and potentially pushing smaller operators out of business. This could consolidate mining power among larger players. Core Scientific, a key North American miner, is undergoing bankruptcy restructuring. If its assets are acquired by a few dominant firms, it might intensify this consolidation, raising the risk of a computing power monopoly in North America—a region already rich in mining capacity. Such a monopoly could threaten Bitcoin’s decentralization and security. However, regulatory oversight and new market entrants might prevent this. The outcome depends on asset distribution and market reactions, requiring close attention.
