The company also shared its yearly mining report , revealing that it has reduced power consumption at its data centers. They delivered 480 megawatt hours to local grid partners in December and delivered a total of more than 131,000 megawatt-hours to local grid partners throughout 2023.
Bitcoin mining is the process of verifying transactions on the blockchain. The mining is done using hardware and software to generate a cryptographic hash that matches the transaction hash criteria. Miners who verify these transactions receive BTC as a reward for each mined block. Currently, the BTC reward per block is 6.25 BTC
CoreScintifc had a rollercoaster ride as a mining company; the firm filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December 2022 amid a prolonged crypto winter that saw BTC prices fall to new yearly lows. In June 2023, the firm submitted its Chapter 11 bankruptcy plan , vowing to make a strong comeback. A Chapter 11 bankruptcy allows a firm to continue operations until stakeholders agree on a restructuring plan.
