Argo Blockchain (LON: ARB) has released its annual financials for 2021, reporting a 291 percent increase in revenue to £74.2 million ($100.1 million). It was driven by both the company’s operational improvements and the overall industry effects.
The company even improved its mining margin to 84 percent from the previous year’s 41 percent. It was mostly due to the drop in global hashrate
Hash Rate
A hash rate is the measure of a cryptocurrency miner’s performance and a key security metric. In the context of mining, the more hashing or computing power in a given network, the greater its security and its overall resistance to attackMining hashrate is a key security metric. The more hashing (computing) power in the network, the greater its security and its overall resistance to attack. Hash rate is also a measurement of the output of a device that is used to add transactions to a blockchain ledgers that run on Proof-of-Work (PoW) algorithms.Hash Rate and Crypto MiningPoW algorithms require the computers that uphold the network and process transactions (called nodes) to solve complex equations in order to reach consensus, or agreement on whether or not a transaction. This process is called mining. Miners are chosen based on which one of them has the most powerful equipment–in other words, the highest hash rate.

The impressive operational figures pushed the EBITDA of the Bitcoin mining company to £52.9 million ($71.4 million), which was a jump of 594 percent. The net income of the company stood at £30.8m ($41.5 million), which is a year-over-year increase of 2,033 percent.
“2021 was truly a year of transformation for Argo as we accomplished key milestones to strengthen the foundation of the Group and position us for long-term success,” said Argo’s CEO, Peter Wall.
Mined Less Bitcoins
The company mined 2,045 Bitcoins last year, which was 17 percent lower than in 2020. The decrease was due to the halving of the Bitcoin mining rewards. At the end of the year, Argo held cash and digital assets amounting to £92.6 million ($124.9 million). This figure jumped to 2,700 Bitcoin and Bitcoin equivalents valued at £93.6 million ($122.9 million) at the end of March 2022.
Meanwhile, Argo scaled its operations last year with acquisitions. It bought the Texas-based Helios project with a power capacity of up to 800MW and two data centers in Quebec, Canada with a combined capacity of 20MW. The operations at Helios is expected to begin in May 2022.
Furthermore, it purchased 20,000 Bitmain S19J Pro mining machines which are expected to be installed by October 2022.
“The acquisition of Helios provided us with the opportunity to build a best-in-class, vertically-integrated facility with access to low-cost and sustainable electricity, which is unmatched by our peers,” said Wall.
