In an announcement on Monday, Riot Blockchain (NASDAQ:RIOT) reported that it produced 187 Bitcoin (BTC) — roughly $11.2 million — last month, an 80% increase over its BTC mining in March 2020. The company said it held more than 1,565 Bitcoin on its balance sheet as of March 31, representing more than $94 million in crypto.
The mining report follows Riot's $138 million purchase of 42,000 S19j Antminers from crypto mining giant Bitmain.
