  • The order for 10,000 A1246/A1166Pro machines is set to be completed by the end of this month, an announcement Wednesday said.

  • Abdumalik Mirakhmedov, co-founder of Genesis Digital Assets, said he expects the purchase will help increase the firm's hash rate "by a minimum of twofold over the coming months."
  • Earlier this month, China-based Canaan (NASDAQ:CAN) announced that it expected to book net revenue of between $150 million and $250 million in the second quarter.
