10x Research: Bitcoin mining stocks have retraced 20%, with their performance influenced by AI and semiconductor narratives.
According to ChainCatcher, 10x Research reports that Bitcoin mining stocks have largely decoupled from Bitcoin's price trends and have experienced a roughly 20% pullback.
The report states that Bitcoin mining companies are now deeply linked to the AI narrative, which currently focuses more on global supply chains and competition rather than crypto adoption or financial digitalization. Furthermore, the performance of Chinese LLM concept stocks and the outlook of the Korean semiconductor supply chain are directly influencing the movements of Bitcoin mining stocks.
Image data shows that since April 2026, RIOT stock price trends have become more synchronized with Semi SOX ETF, and both have recently pulled back from their highs. This suggests that performance of Bitcoin mining stocks is being affected by sentiment around the semiconductor and AI computing power chain.
