2022's Top Journalists Covering Bitcoin Mining

18 Jan 2023

For the past few years a number of well-recognized journalists have begun to cover the bitcoin mining space in-depth. From the growing number of mining companies going public, collecting multi million dollar checks, all the way down to some of them now facing bankruptcy, a group of Bitcoin mining journalists has been cemented as the go-to subject matter experts for all things mining related.

A handful of traditional & crypto media outlets have managed to cover insightful bitcoin mining pieces by developing an expertise and network that made it hard for other media outlets to compete with. Bitcoin miners are now working together with professional reporters holding a fundamental understanding of the technical, economic and regulatory aspects of their industry. Together, they help craft a narrative in the media for an often miscomprehended industry.

From covering the economics of public & private mining companies, the energy sector, as well as the developing regulatory environment for mining, these journalists have vastly impacted the industry and have helped raise its awareness. When a Bitcoin Mining company has a breaking story to share, usually they call one of these journalists on the list:

He is Bloomberg's most-acquainted reporter with Bitcoin mining and one of the longest standing journalists in the mining space. He started his career outside of crypto at the Wall Street Journal and USA Today Money Desk.

Following his rise at CoinDesk, David moved on to Bloomberg where his articles and analysis hit on the major events in the mining space, and usually breaking new stories, trends and events before other major publications. Mr. Pan holds a Master's degree in Business and Economic Reporting from NYU, as well as a Master's degree in International Journalism from the Renmin University of China.
