According to on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain (@lookonchain), mining company Riot Platforms deposited another 500 BTC—worth approximately $38.95 million—to NYDIG six hours ago, continuing its sell-off.
According to Cointelegraph, Alcoa Inc. is set to strike a deal with Bitcoin mining firm NYDIG to sell its idle Massena East aluminum smelter in New York State, with the transaction expected to close by mid-year. The facility has been offline since 2014 and features an on-site substation, transmission lines, and high-capacity grid connectivity—plus access to hydropower supplied by the New York Power Authority—making it attractive to Bitcoin miners and data center operators. The report notes that some decommissioned industrial sites across the U.S. are being repurposed as Bitcoin mining, artificial intelligence, and high-performance computing facilities.
