How Do Miners Hedge against the Revenue Drop from a Halving Event Using Financial Derivatives?

Miners can use financial derivatives to hedge against the revenue drop from a halving. They can short-sell Bitcoin futures or buy put options to lock in a future selling price for the Bitcoin they expect to mine, protecting them from a potential price drop post-halving.

Another emerging tool is hashrate futures, which allow miners to lock in a price for their computational output. By using these instruments, miners can create more predictable revenue streams and mitigate the financial risks associated with the block reward reduction.
