Riot’s hash rate of 22 EH/s surpassed CleanSpark and Core Scientific and now only trails Marathon Digital’s 31.5 EH/s.
Bitcoin mining firm Riot Platforms increased its deployed hash rate by 50% in June, helping it mine 255 Bitcoin (BTC) — a near-20% increase from May.
Riot’s hash rate increased from 14.7 exahashes per second to 22 EH/s over the month after it completed miner installations at its Corsicana facility and tapped into additional available capacity at its Rockdale Facility.
In a July 3 statement, Riot’s CEO Jason Les, described June as a “historic month” as the firm managed to exceed its mid-year deployed hashrate target of 21.4 EH/s. The energization of these miners primarily took place in the last few days of June.
