"Our price targets generally increased due to higher bitcoin prices and improving mining profitability," analysts Reginald Smith and Charles Pearce wrote.
JPMorgan said it tweaked the price targets to reflect a 24% increase in the bank's spot bitcoin assumption and a 9% increase to its network hashrate estimate.
The hashrate refers to the total combined computational power used to mine and process transactions on a proof-of-work blockchain, and is a proxy for competition in the industry and mining difficulty.
JPMorgan reiterated its overweight rating on CleanSpark, IREN (IREN) and Riot, and its neutral rating for Cipher Mining (CIFR) and MARA.
