CleanSpark, a crypto miner, has acquired 45,000 new Bitmain Antminer S19 XPs for $144.9 million, which will nearly double its current computing power, or hashrate, according to a press release. Once delivered and installed, the Antminers will add over 6.3 exahash/second (EH/s) of computing power to CleanSpark's fleet of 6.7 EH/s. The first batch of 25,000 rigs will be ready for delivery in August, and the rest are scheduled for September. CleanSpark aims to have 16 EH/s of computing power by the end of the year. The acquisition announcement comes as bitcoin crossed $30,000 for the first time in nearly a year.

The transparency of Bitcoin's hashrate, which captures the computational force being used across the network, creates a degree of transparency innate to Bitcoin mining, according to Hut 8 CEO Jaime Leverton. This transparency allows for easy tracking of Bitcoin miners' energy usage, unlike the traditional banking system or hard metal mining.

Bitcoin mining firm Sphere 3D (ANY) is suing its business partner Gryphon Digital Mining for losing $500,000 of its bitcoin in<b> </b>a spoofing attack and failing to act in the best interest of the firms' partnership.

Stronghold, a Bitcoin mining company, has raised its year-end hashrate guidance to 4 exahashes per second (EH/s). The hashrate refers to the total computing power used to mine Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and is a key metric for measuring the overall strength and security of the network.

The Bitcoin difficulty adjustment is one of the most remarkable of Satoshi's innovations, creating a system that autonomously seeks equilibrium in the mining sector. In this article, we estimate the cost of production, and derive several metrics describing the cyclical nature of the mining market.

Bitcoin's (BTC) 60% year-to-date surge may be only the first milestone in its upward journey, as miner revenues from transaction fees are rising.

A $20 million settlement between Bitcoin miner Core Scientific and its energy negotiator Priority Power Management has been approved by the judge in Core Scientific’s bankruptcy proceedings. In a March 20 filing in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Judge David Jones signed off on allowing Core Scientific to transfer around $20.8 million worth of equipment to Priority Power. The companies had been in a dispute over two Texas-based mining facilities that were slated to receive 1,000 megawatts (MW) of power between them to increase Core Scientific’s mining capacity.
