Management also advised that it's in Stage 2 of its "100 megawatt expansion" at its Georgian Bitcoin mining facility and its first Australian Bitcoin mining facility is now operational. The company bought an additional 4,000 ASIC Bitcoin miners in the quarter. For all of 2021, the company says it mined a total of 808 Bitcoin, a new record for the company.
