Cryptocurrency markets have endured a sharp November correction—Bitcoin down 8% to ~$96,400 and Ethereum off 13% to ~$3,160—but BitMine Immersion Technologies Chairman Tom Lee remains bullish.

Bitcoin may be cheaper than many investors realize, according to a popular energy-based valuation method. This approach measures the cost of electricity used by miners to produce each coin. Mining Bitcoin requires powerful computers and large amounts of electricity. When energy costs are high, mining can become unprofitable. The energy-based valuation method estimates Bitcoin’s “fair value” by looking at these mining costs. Capriole Investments, which uses this model, suggests Bitcoin should be priced around $175,400. The current price is about 70% lower, indicating the cryptocurrency may be undervalued. Historically, Bitcoin’s market price tends to align with mining costs within about…
