Current case
- Strongest support

· Moves bitcoin price trajectory, mining profitability assumptions, value of bitcoin holdings
- Main threat

Direct impact from negative earnings forecast and revenue contraction guidance, leading to revised analyst expectations and investor sentiment.
· Moves future revenue growth rates, profitability margins, discount rate (due to increased risk perception)
- Open question
