We recently published a list of Why These 15 Crypto Stocks Have Been Plunging In 2025. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Argo Blockchain Plc ADR (NASDAQ:ARBK) stands against other crypto stocks that have been plunging In 2025.

Crypto stocks have fallen significantly off their peaks as Bitcoin (BTC-USD) cools. Many crypto investors hoped that Trump’s crypto national reserve announcement would be followed up by news announcing that the U.S. government will start buying BTC like El Salvador did to prop up these reserves.

Instead, the government will likely create the reserve out of previously seized cryptocurrencies from criminals. This led to Bitcoin falling even further. The biggest impact of this was on Bitcoin miners. These companies make a significant amount of their revenue from mining or stockpiling large amounts of Bitcoin and then benefiting from the increases in value as it also increases their assets on the balance sheet.

However, with Bitcoin cooling off recently and crypto mining companies not having that big of a spike in the current cycle, many have started to plunge significantly.

Argo Blockchain Plc ADR (NASDAQ:ARBK)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders In Q4 2024: 1

Argo Blockchain Plc ADR (NASDAQ:ARBK) is a crypto mining company with operations in Quebec and Texas.

The stock is down significantly so far in 2025 due to it receiving a non-compliance notice from Nasdaq due to its share price trading below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days. The company has until July 15, 2025. If it doesn’t surpass $1 by then, it could be delisted. The company could do a reverse stock split to avoid that.

Argo reported a year-over-year revenue decline of 28.34% for the quarter ending on September 2024, coupled with a net loss of $6.28 million for the quarter.

Moreover, Argo announced a non-binding term sheet for up to $40 million in senior secured convertible loans to refresh its mining fleet and support potential mergers and acquisitions. This is going to improve the balance sheet, but it includes warrants, and investors are worried about dilution.

The consensus price target of $1.45 implies 222.22% upside.

ARBK stock is down 20.35% year-to-date.

Overall, ARBK ranks 9th on our list of crypto stocks that have been plunging In 2025.
