...

LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / August 4, 2023 / Argo Blockchain plc, a global leader in cryptocurrency mining (LSE:ARB)(NASDAQ:ARBK), is pleased to provide the following operational update for July 2023.

During the month of July, the Company mined 129 Bitcoin or Bitcoin Equivalents (together, "BTC"), or 4.2 BTC per day. This is a decrease of 11% from the 4.6 BTC per day mined in the previous month. The decrease was driven primarily by greater downtime at Helios from weather-related curtailment and onsite construction. Additionally, the Helios operations participated in economic curtailment, which reduces Bitcoin production but generates additional cash proceeds.

Mining revenue in July amounted to $3.87 million, similar to revenue generated in the prior month (June 2023: $3.84 million).

As of 31 July 2023, the Company held 46 BTC.

During the month of July, the Company installed and energized 1,242 BlockMiner machines, representing approximately 130 PH/s, at its Quebec facilities. This brings the Company's total hashrate capacity to approximately 2.6 EH/s. The Company expects to receive and deploy the remaining 1,628 BlockMiners in the coming months.

Seif El-Bakly, Argo's interim Chief Executive Officer, said, "I am thrilled that we are resuming growth in our total hashrate capacity with the deployment of the BlockMiner machines. This is a testament to the efforts of our technical and operations teams, and we look forward to deploying the remaining machines.

"I am also pleased with our economic curtailment programs that contribute to the stability of the Texas grid during periods of peak demand while simultaneously reducing our total power costs."

Obesity Drugs Have Multi-Billion-Dollar Market Potential, Says Oppenheimer — Here Are 2 Stocks to Take Advantage
A key to success in the stock market is a touch of foresight. Not quite precognition, but an ability to spot and put together clues and trends, to discern the ‘next big thing’ before it hits. This is true in every stock sector, but today we’ll focus on biotech. The biotech firms have famously high product lead times, paired with equally high overhead expenses; it’s a combination that would make them unlikely investments, except that when a drug is approved, it can turn into a blockbuster.
