Argo Blockchain, the publicly listed London and Wall Street Bitcoin miner, aims to double its mining capacity through the acquisition of assets from GEM Mining.
The proposed transaction includes acquiring GEM Mining's assets for up to $21.7 million in Argo shares, which would add 2.4 exahash of mining power to Argo's operations, significantly increasing its Bitcoin production capabilities.
Additionally, Argo Blockchain secured $10 million in investment from GEM's institutional investors to support its growth.
The company's new CEO, Justin Nolan, replaces Thomas Chippas and is optimistic about Argo's future despite recent financial challenges.
