ChainCatcher News: Bitcoin miners Marathon Digital and Riot Platforms announced that their monthly Bitcoin production has reached the highest level since the Bitcoin halving in April, marking a strong rebound since the miner rewards halved.
Marathon produced 717 Bitcoins worth $48.8 million. Marathon CEO Fred Thiel explained that the company attributes part of this to its powered hash rate rising over 14%, exceeding 40 exahashes per second. Riot mined 505 Bitcoins in October, worth $34.4 million, an increase of 22.6% month-over-month.
