What Financial Derivative Strategy Could a Miner Use to Lock in Revenue before a Halving?

A miner can use a 'Short Futures' contract strategy to lock in the future price for the Bitcoin they expect to mine. By selling a futures contract for a specified amount of Bitcoin at a set price and date, they secure their revenue regardless of any subsequent price drop after the Halving.

This effectively hedges the price risk but eliminates the potential for upside profit if the price increases significantly.
