United States firm, Marathon Patent Group, announced that it installed 700 units of Bitcoin mining ASIC units.
United States firm, Marathon Patent Group, announced that it installed 700 units of Bitcoin (BTC) mining application-specific integrated circuit, or ASIC, units.
According to a June 3 announcement, Marathon Patent Group installed 700 Whatsminer M30S+ ASICs produced by MicroBT. The company is also reportedly waiting for a delivery of 1,160 AntminerS19 Pro units produced by leading mining ASIC producer, BitMain.
In late March, Bitmain announced that it sold the first batch of Antminer S19s and S19 Pros within 24 hours after starting to accept orders. On June 1, the firm also announced the launch of its newest Antminer T19 features a SHA256 hash rate of 84 TH/second.
A company rich in hashrate
The Antminer S19 Pro boasts a hash rate of 110 TH/s and an energy efficiency of 29.5±% 5 J/TH. That means Marathon Patent Group is waiting to add 127.600 PH/s to the hashrate under its control. Summed with the 70,000 TH/s coming from its 700 Whatsminer M30S+ ASICS (100 TH/s each), this will result in the company having a total hashrate of 197.600 PH/s.
The announcement comes shortly after Ripple SBI Asia CEO Adam Traidman predicted that the mining industry will continue to see hashrate migrate from east to west. He also stated that he is already witnessing the transition begin.
