$SDIG is one I've been eyeing for a while, and at ~100m market cap, I think it's sneakily one of the safest floor plays in the market right now.

To provide a quick background, Stronghold Digital Mining is a vertically integrated Bitcoin mining company, meaning that it owns the power generation assets in addition to the data centers. But wait, there's more. Stronghold's power generation assets are coal refuse plants (same renewable tier as hydroelectric), meaning that they earn renewable energy credits while generating their electricity.

You may be thinking that renewable power is great, but it makes sense that $SDIG has dropped in line with all of the other Bitcoin mining companies, since they're dependent on the rapidly declining Bitcoin price for profitability.

But that's where the vertical integration comes into play. Power prices have been surging, so Stronghold has actually been profitably selling their electricity to the grid, and can continue to do so as long as Bitcoin remains deflated.

My opinion, shared by Stronghold's management, is that this unique ability to be profitable independent of Bitcoin price will allow $SDIG to become the "aggressors" if the crypto markets continue to crash.

In their May earnings call, CEO Gregory Beard said "So I think by being opportunistic, that would be – I would call opportunism is a synonym for being our front foot and having the potential to be more aggressive, and so, hey, if the market gets tougher, we know that just the design of our peers is such that they're probably – they can't really survive an extended downturn in this market, whereas because we have optionality between Bitcoin and power, we can and that will inevitably lead to opportunities coming our way, if the markets suffer."

TLDR: The market isn't appreciating both the earnings floor provided by renewable power generation or the upside from Bitcoin price and potential collapse of competitors.
