The company named Gem Mining is headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, and has more than 32,000 mining machines in operation or about to be delivered. Currently, there are more than 8,000 mining machines in active operation, producing more than 5 BTC per day. 

The company has mined 431 BTC in the past 9 months and has been profitable since February. In November alone, GEM Mining saw a revenue of $7.8 million with the adjusted EBITDA exceeding $6.2 million. In the next four months, nearly 15,000 additional mining machines will be put into operation. 

Warren said: "GEM Mining is built for long-term growth. 100% of our mining machines are paid for, so deploying the full 32,000 miners will not require additional capital. Our company is agile and able to respond to market opportunities quickly."
