Riot Moves to Power, HIVE to AI: BTC Mining Plummets

HIVE Revenues Down 45% Despite Higher BTC Production

The 9%
decline in Bitcoin’s (BTC) price in August has negatively impacted the
production results reported by publicly listed cryptocurrency miners. This is
confirmed by Riot Platforms, which produced 333 BTC last month, 19% less than in July. In contrast to the overall market trend, HIVE Digital has slightly improved its mining results.

However,
both companies are looking for profits away from the mining business. Riot is
focusing on energy sales, which is bringing the company record revenues, while
HIVE is looking towards supporting the artificial intelligence industry.

month-over-month decline in BTC production to 1,072 BTC.

Following
Marathon’s lead, Riot Platforms (NASDAQ: RIOT) saw its month-over-month (MoM)
production shrink by 19%, from 410 BTC reported in July to 333 in August.
Year-over-year (YoY), the production declined by 11%.
