RE: Argo competitor Marathon buying BTC26 Jan 2021 11:45
so here is the key text for me -
As a miner, Marathon is currently producing up to two bitcoins per day but is now looking to expand with the purchase of 103,000 advanced S19 bitcoin miners from Bitmain. Okamoto said the miners are expected to be delivered and fully installed by the end of the first quarter of 2022.
“If all miners were operational today, based on the bitcoin network’s current difficulty rate, we would produce approximately 55 to 60 bitcoins per day,” he stated. “However, by leveraging our cash on hand to invest in bitcoin now, we have transformed our potential to be a pure-play investment into a reality.”
Argo are already producing more BTC than Marathon yet valued the Nasdaq listed stock is worth circa $2Bn compared to what Argo Blockchain valued around £275M or $400M
