Blockchain stocks stand on the cusp of a revolutionary leap, leading the digital era forward.
Beyond Bitcoin’s (BTC-USD) 94% surge in the last six months, blockchain is reshaping industries with unparalleled transparency and efficiency. With its market value expected to soar from $4.8 billion in 2022 to $2.3 trillion by 2032, blockchain presents a compelling investment opportunity.
Moreover, blockchain’s potential to boost the global GDP by more than $2 trillion by 2030 underscores its economic significance. Amidst this backdrop, the real value of blockchain technology extends far beyond the immediate allure of cryptocurrencies. It heralds a new chapter in digital innovation, offering a solid foundation for future tech ecosystems.
Consequently, several tech firms with substantial investments in blockchain need to be more valued and understood. Despite their critical role in this burgeoning field, they fly under the radar of many investors. With that said, here are three blockchain stocks poised for massive long-term growth.
Blockchain Stocks: CleanSpark (CLSK)
CleanSpark (NASDAQ:CLSK) is redefining the Bitcoin mining landscape with its innovative approach to sustainability and growth. Last year, the company doubled its Bitcoin production to 6,903 and saw a 28% increase in revenue, underlining its robust performance. This success stems from a deal to acquire up to 160,000 new miners from Bitmain, highlighting CleanSpark’s aggressive expansion and commitment to renewable energy.
Moreover, CleanSpark’s financial performance has been outstanding, with first-quarter earnings exceeding expectations. The company announced GAAP earnings-per-share of 14 cents, outperforming estimates and demonstrating an impressive year-over-year (YOY) revenue increase of 165.5% to $73.8 million. Additionally, the company’s shares have experienced a remarkable surge of 426.8% over the past year. Hence, CleanSpark’s innovative and sustainable tactics establish it as a leader in cryptocurrency mining.

Bitfarms (BITF)
Bitfarms (NASDAQ:BITF) is decisively scaling its operations, eyeing an increase in hash rate capacity from 6.5EH/s in January to a robust 12EH/s in the coming months. Under its contract, Bitfarms holds the potential to reach 17 EH/s and 23 w/TH in fleet efficiency by 2024’s end.

In December 2023, Bitfarms struck crypto gold by mining an unprecedented 446 bitcoins, contributing to an enviable annual haul of 4,928. Fueling this triumph was a dazzling 44% YOY surge in hash rate growth, elevating Bitfarms as a standout success story in the booming crypto sphere. Bolstering this bullish outlook, ‘TipRanks‘ analysts assign Bitfarms a ‘strong buy’ rating, forecasting a robust 7.7% upside potential.
