Core Scientific, a Bitcoin mining company based in the United States, has reported strong fiscal year 2021 results, with revenue up 803 % to $544.5 million and gross profit up 2,443 % to $238.9 million.
The figures, which were released on March 29 and indicate a total net income of $47.3 million (take-home pay after expenses) for the previous year. The amount is a significant rise above the net loss of $12.2 million in 2020.
The top Bitcoin (BTC) miner attributed the increased performance to an increase in hash rate, mining equipment sales, hosting revenue, and digital asset mining income. The soaring price of Bitcoin (BTC) undoubtedly helped as well.
Core Scientific founder Darin Feinstein slammed Greenpeace and Ripple chairman Chris Larsen after the two teamed together last week to start the “change the code, not the climate” campaign, following the company’s outstanding 2021 findings. The movement intends to transform Bitcoin into a more ecologically friendly consensus architecture, such as Proof of Stake. Greenpeace, according to Feinstein, has sold out Bitcoiners.
