The company said it expects there to be a delay in meeting the hashrate growth guidance for the first quarter.
Bitcoin miner Riot said there will be a delay in meeting its first quarter hashrate guidance of 12.5 EH/s due to damage from the winter storm that hit the U.S. in December and knocked miners offline.
In January, it mined 740 bitcoins, 12% more than in the previous month when it curtailed power due to the storm. Of the 2.5 EH/s affected by damage to piping in two buildings, a total of 0.6 EH/s has been brought back online with 1.9 EH/s remaining. "The company is evaluating its repair options and will provide additional information on deployment timelines as it becomes available," Riot said in a statement.
The miner sold 700 BTC in January as the coin rallied, bringing in $13.7 million. Rival Marathon, which typically holds all of its bitcoin,© 2023 The Block Crypto, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
