Riot Platforms Inc., one of the largest Bitcoin miners, said a significant portion of its operations are still off-line due to damage from severe winter storms in Texas.
The company has a 750-megawatt capacity Bitcoin mining facility in Rockdale, Texas — one of the largest sites for crypto-mining by computing power in the world. Riot said 17,040 out of its 82,656 Bitcoin mining machines were off as a result of damage to the facility from severe winter storms in late December, according to an operational update Monday.
