Frequently asked questions
What does the Mining Climate Rating measure?
The MCR measures the overall economic climate for Bitcoin miners on a 0–100 scale, blending hashprice ($/TH/day), network difficulty trend, hashrate growth, and BTC spot price into a single score.
How are the MCR regime bands defined?
Scores of 0–40 are labeled Hostile (miners broadly unprofitable or stressed), 40–60 is Cautious (mixed conditions), and 60–100 is Favorable (broad-based mining profitability).
How often is the MCR recomputed?
The MCR is recomputed hourly by the compute-indexes edge function using live network data and appended to the index_timeseries table for historical trend charts.
How should miners use the MCR score?
Use MCR as a top-of-funnel climate read: falling scores warn of tightening margins across the industry, rising scores suggest expanding fleets or entering new capacity are becoming easier to justify.
