2022 was a challenging year for the crypto market, as trading volume slumped and crypto prices drowned in the aftermath of crypto winter. But one of the most brutal years for the crypto industry has also had a huge impact on the crypto mining companies, which lost billions of dollars in their stock values.<\/p>\n

According to data presented by Bitcoin Casinos<\/a>, the world`s five largest crypto mining companies have collectively lost $5.2bn in market cap year-over-year.<\/p>\n

Stock Values More than Halved Amid Crypto Winter<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Crypto mining stocks, represented by the Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF (BLOK), dramatically underperformed the broader market last year. According to Yahoo Finance, BLOK provided a total return of -54.3% last year, deep below the S&P 500\u2019s total return of -19.44%.<\/p>\n

The melting stock prices of crypto mining companies led to colossal market cap drops. The Ycharts data showed the combined market cap of Riot Blockchain, Marathon Digital Holdings, Canaan Inc., Cipher Mining Technologies, and Hut 8 Mining, the world`s five largest crypto mining companies, amounted to over $8.5bn in January last year. Over the past twelve months, this value slumped by 61% to below $3.3bn.<\/p>\n
