The blockchain industry continues to mature and has experienced more mainstream adoption in the past few years.
However, bitcoin market sentiment can impact the blockchain sector, and the cryptocurrency has faced a rollercoaster of ups and downs in the recent past. While 2023 might not see the price of bitcoin return to its all-time high of more than US$68,000, which it reached in November 2021, analysts are confident that the crypto market will remain healthy for the year ahead.
With those circumstances in mind, here’s a look at the five top Canadian blockchain stocks by share price performance so far in 2023. All figures were obtained using TradingView’s stock screener on February 16, 2023; the companies listed had market caps of at least C$10 million at that time and were trading on either the CSE, TSX or TSXV.

2. Digihost Technology (TSXV:DGHI)
Year-to-date gain: 367.92 percent; current share price: C$2.41
Digihost Technology is a blockchain technology company focused on bitcoin mining. Its goals are to increase its mining hash rate, reduce its energy costs and increase the number of bitcoins it can mine and hold.
Digihost reported a 60 percent increase its bitcoin production in 2022 compared to 2021, producing 832 units during the period. On February 8, the company completed another milestone in its digital infrastructure expansion with the acquisition of a 60 megawatt power plant in New York state. The power plant will allow Digihost's operating capacity to reach close to 100 megawatts. As of February 2, the company's hash rate was approximately 715 petahashes per second (PH/s).
3. Cathedra Bitcoin (TSXV:CBIT)
Year-to-date gain: 237.5 percent; current share price: C$0.135
Cathedra Bitcoin develops and operates bitcoin-mining infrastructure. The company's diversified bitcoin-mining operations total 247 PH/s across five locations in the US.

Founded in 2017, Bitfarms is a vertically integrated bitcoin miner with 10 mining facilities across Canada, the US, Paraguay and Argentina. Its bitcoin production is predominantly powered by hydroelectric power and long-term power contracts.
In 2022, Bitfarms' bitcoin production grew by 50 percent over the year before to reach 5,167 units. That growth in output has continued into 2023, with the company reporting 486 coins mined in January, up 61 percent compared to the same period a year ago.
