Insights

The October operational update reveals mixed signals for Argo Blockchain. While the 24% increase in Bitcoin production to 46 BTC and 36% revenue growth to $3.0 million show operational improvements, these gains are primarily attributed to temporary factors like lower power costs and better hashprice conditions. The company's minimal holdings of just 2 BTC equivalent indicate significant liquidity constraints and suggest immediate selling of mined coins to cover operational expenses.

The monthly revenue of $3.0 million translates to an annual run rate of about $36 million, which appears insufficient given the company's market cap and operational costs. The production rate of 1.5 BTC per day places Argo in the lower tier of publicly traded miners, raising questions about economies of scale and competitive positioning in the increasingly crowded mining sector.

LONDON, ENGLAND / ACCESSWIRE / November 5, 2024 / Argo Blockchain plc, a global leader in cryptocurrency mining (LSE:ARB)(NASDAQ:ARBK), is pleased to provide the following operational update for October 2024.

During the month of October, the Company mined 46 Bitcoin ("BTC"), or 1.5 BTC per day, a 24% increase over the Company's September production.

Mining revenue in October 2024 amounted to $3.0 million up 36% from $2.2 million in September 2024. The increase in mining revenue reflects increased uptime as a result of lower power costs compared to September and the stronger hashprice realized during the month of October. As at 31 October 2024, the Company held two BTC equivalent.
