Argo generated this income at an average monthly mining margin of approximately 84% for the month of March (February 2021: 81%).

At the end of March, the company held 764 BTC.

These numbers are incredible, and they highlight our continued commitment to smart growth, efficiency, and delivering meaningful value to our shareholders. I am also thrilled that we are working with DMG to achieve something we believe will be truly transformational in the crypto space in the creation of Terra Pool, the first Bitcoin mining pool that will be powered by clean energy."
