Bitcoin miners experience a sharp decline, matching the worst selloff since July on Wall Street.

Why it matters

This selloff highlights the vulnerability of Bitcoin mining to inflation and interest rate increases.

Bitcoin miners, which help create new Bitcoin, saw their stock prices drop a lot. This happened because money got more expensive to borrow, which made it harder for these miners to make money.
