finnCap added that Argo’s focus on renewable power will become “increasingly important as global governments and investors scrutinise Bitcoin mining powered by non-renewables”, adding that the company will also benefit from its increased scale by “achieving attractive pricing on new machines”.
“We look forward to Argo updating on the build progress of its new facility, announcing new machine orders, and continuing to demonstrate operational efficiency at its monthly updates”, finnCap said, while also reiterating their 240p price target on the firm.
