Colorado-based BTC mining company Riot Blockchain announced the results of the second quarter of 2021.

The press release issued on August 23 indicates that the company's mining revenue reached $31.5 M which means a 1540% growth compared to last year's $1.9 M.

70% of the revenue, which is $19.3 M, was the company's net income in Q2, 2021. In 2020, for the same interval Riot stated a net loss of $10.6 million.

The company's CEO Jason Les stated that the progress is the result of Riot's absolute focus on BTC mining and expanding its mining services.
