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.

In November, New York enacted a temporary ban on new crypto mining permits at fossil fuel plants.
