In the face of mounting regulatory pressure, bitcoin mining stocks could be a safer option than many cryptocurrencies and some other crypto-related equities, such as Coinbase COIN, -4.35%, for investors seeking digital asset exposure, according to Beard.

To be sure, the bitcoin mining industry also faces growing regulatory scrutiny, especially as its extensive energy consumption draws attention. In November, New York enacted a temporary ban on new crypto mining permits at fossil fuel plants.
