This update follows Bitmain’s announcement on June 21 that it, along with cryptocurrency platform Anchorage Digital, will acquire shares in Core Scientific, then the second largest publicly listed bitcoin miner.
Core Scientific has filed for bankruptcy due to declining revenue and falling bitcoin prices. However, it should be noted that the status of this plan is still pending, and there have been no new updates to report yet.
Meanwhile, the company also co-hosted the World Digital Mining Summit 2023 (WDMS 2023) in Hong Kong from September 22-23, 2023, with the theme “Mining for the Next Emerging Market”.
