Moreover, it revealed that now its bitcoin reserves holds about 10,055 bitcoin (BTC) worth more than $222.5 million.

The production at the bitcoin mining firm dropped to just 140 bitcoin (BTC) in the last month of June, which is the lowest production since March 2021 in a month. However, this decline was seen due to a bleak storm that hit the Hardin region of Texas on 11th June. The power generation facility of the bitcoin miners was damaged because of the harsh weather. The power cut left about 30,000 miners in the region inactive for quite long.
By 30th June, Marathon Digital had produced approx 1,996 bitcoin (BTC), while compared to its year-to-date figure, it’s a growth of about 132%. This is one among those few mining companies that have faced and made through the extreme bear market. Moreover, for doing so, it neither dropped its production nor sold any crypto asset.
As per several researches earlier, it outlined that publicly listed and leading bitcoin mining companies had sold their entire crypto production earlier this year. These firms include Riot Blockchain, Core Scientific and Bitfarms.
