Once the new miners are deployed, Riot
Blockchain will nearly double its total hash rate to 7.7 EH/s
Hong Kong, April. 08, 2021 – Bitmain – the world’s leading producer of cryptocurrency mining hardware today announces a new purchase deal of 42,000 Antminer S19j miners with Riot Blockchain, Inc. (“Riot Blockchain” or “Riot”), a Nasdaq-listed cryptocurrency mining company. A minimum of 3,500 Antminer S19j ASIC miners are scheduled to be delivered monthly to Riot starting in November 2021, and the rest are planned for receipt and deployment through October 2022.
The new $138.5
million purchase represents a robust strategic plan and a growth milestone for
Riot to increase its bitcoin mining hash rate. Once the new miners are fully
deployed, Riot is predicted to gain a significant hash rate growth to 7.7 EH/s,
which nearly doubles the company’s previously estimated mining rate capacity of
4.0 EH/s by October 2021.
“We are
excited for our long-term cooperation with Riot as they continue to solidify
their growth and position as one of the global leading companies in Bitcoin
mining. This growing partnership is also a strong proof of our S19j. The model
has inherited Antminer S19 series’ remarkable hash rate and industry-leading
manufacturing quality with excellent power efficiency. The new order of
Bitmain’s next-gen Antminers will undoubtedly assure the rapid growth and the long-term
investment of Riot’s mining operations”, said Irene Gao, Antminer Sales
Director of NCSA Region, Bitmain.
“This long-term purchase order marks a major milestone in the continued
expansion of Riot’s mining operations,” said Megan Brooks, COO of Riot. “Our
existing fleet of miners has already positioned us as a public-company leader
in Bitcoin mining. By nearly doubling our planned hash rate capacity, we are
taking a great stride in growing our share of the global hash rate
distribution. We are proud of this accomplishment and remain focused on
continuing to evaluate additional opportunities in the space.”

Hong
Kong, September 13, 2021 – Bitmain – the world’s leading producer of
cryptocurrency mining hardware successfully held the Digital
Mining Conference on
September 09 in Miami, FL. Industry
elites, including the world’s leading mining manufacturers, clean energy
suppliers, miner hosting service platforms, and financial companies gathered here
to share new mining industry innovations.

globalization, mining infrastructure construction, mining policies, and
regulations in North American.
Francis X. Suarez, Mayor of Miami providing the opening speech of the event
Francis
X. Suarez, Mayor of Miami, opened the conference by sharing constructive words
highlighting industry achievements. “Miami is ranked first in the nation
for new tech job growth, creating 8000 jobs, and has moved over 800 billion
dollars of assets under management in the last 16 months. None of these would
be possible without understanding the technological movement, Bitcoin, the
blockchain, and companies like Bitmain mean to power the infrastructure of this
new generation and revolution.”
Irene Gao, BD Director of NCSA Region, Antminer
North
America has been leading the expansion of digital currency mining on a global
scale. The speech made by Irene Gao, BD Director of North, Central, South
Americal region of Antminer, discussed the development of digital currency
mining and talked about the local advantages in power resources, policies, and
regulations. Gao mentioned how North America still has several disadvantages, such
as slow construction of mining farms and insufficient talent accumulation in
the industry.
To speed
up the construction of mining farms, Bitmain launched its self-developed
air-cooled container, the Antbox N5 V2 in August. At present, the delivery
batches for August and September have sold out already and started shipping to
the United States, and delivery batches for October have begun sales. At the
same time, to match the speed of mining farm construction and strengthen the
training of talents in the industry, the Antminer Maintenance Training Center
(AMTC) has upgraded the miner maintenance training courses and added operations
training and maintenance training courses. At present, the first batch of trainees
recently completed the course and have begun to participate in practical
undertakings.
In
response to the relatively poor timeliness of miner maintenance overseas,
Bitmain has launched HUB warehouse services. It is expected that the
maintenance time of miners in North America would be reduced from three weeks
to four days, the logistics time would be reduced by 79%, and the mining
revenue loss would be reduced by 53%. Before December this year, HUB warehouse
services will also be launched in Kazakhstan. In the future, Bitmain plans to
set up more HUB warehouse outlets around the world
As discussed by the speakers at the conference, the digital currency mining industry still has growth potential. The industry is moving towards more advanced hardware equipment, better power resources, more innovative business models, better capitalization, participation in global business and policy activities, and longer-term sustainable development prospects.
Bitmain would like to thank all its valued customers from all over the world. Bitmain believes that the development and success of the company are inseparable from the trust and support of our customers. Bitmain will continue to adhere to the values of “Long-term Cooperation”, “Trustworthy Partnerships”, and Develop “Win-win Situations” to provide customers with excellent performance and quality products.
World Digital Mining Summit 2021 in Dubai
In November this year, Bitmain will host the World Digital Mining Summit 2021 in Dubai. The summit will deliver a broader and more efficient platform for information, exchange, and resource sharing. At that time, WDMS will bring more insightful industry prospects and policy analysis. The conference will also discuss advanced mining equipment information and brand new hosting service opportunities, water-cooled mining solutions, and many other excellent topics.
