Mining Firms to Invest in New Mining Units Ahead of Halving Event
Core Scientific filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2022 following a long bearish movement. The firm published a detailed bankruptcy plan in June, 2023. However, the company was able to reestablish its operations in 2024 allowing the firm to relist its shares at NASDAQ.
In the current situation, Bitcoin mining firms are making preparations for the upcoming halving event in April, 2024.
Bitcoin blockchain has incorporated a halving mechanism that slashes mining rewards by half every four years. On this account, mining firms such as Marathon Digital are reportedly options to expand operations and ordered new mining sites and units.
In this manner, Bitcoin mining has become a commercial sector activity with a multitude of private and public firms participating in the process as business activity.
