During this period, it reached a hashrate of 21.1 exahash per second (EH/s).&nbsp;

By the end of April 2024, it had accumulated up to 17,631 BTC, and its total cash and BTC reserves amounted to $1.6 billion.

In the press release, the company emphasized its commitment to doubling the scale of its mining operations by the end of the year.&nbsp;
