Bitcoin Miners See Strong Production Increases
Bitcoin mining companies like Marathon Digital, Riot Platforms, and CleanSpark reported significant increases in production in September. Despite Bitcoin’s stagnant price, these miners showed resilience, with their share prices rising on October 4.
Marathon Digital, a prominent Bitcoin mining firm, experienced a 245% increase in Bitcoin production in September 2023, with 1,242 BTC mined, a 16% rise from August. The main driver was a 508% rise in their installed hashrate. CEO Fred Thiel expressed satisfaction with reaching their goal of 23 exahashes and plans to expand into low-cost renewable energy sources. Year-to-date, Marathon Digital produced 8,610 BTC, resulting in a 3.29% increase in its share price.
Riot Platforms, a Bitcoin mining company, saw a 9% increase in September, mining 362 BTC. They used a strategic approach, curtailing operations and benefiting from a long-term contract, where they sell pre-purchased power at market-driven spot prices.
CleanSpark, a Bitcoin mining company, achieved its “best quarter” and “best fiscal year ever” in 2022, with a record-breaking production of 6,903 BTC in September. CEO and President Zach Bradford attributed this success to increased efficiency, low energy costs, and maximum capacity of facilities.
