Cormint Raises $29,000,000 Series B to Scale Its Bitcoin Mining Operation Into New Sites
FORT STOCKTON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 23, 2024-- Cormint Data Systems, Inc. (“Cormint”), an emerging Bitcoin miner focused on mining Bitcoin at the lowest possible cost, announced today that it has successfully raised $29,000,000 in Series B equity. The raise was co-led by Cormint’s existing equity investors, Bitcoin lenders and the company’s President and CEO, Jamie McAvity. The successful Series B raise brings the total equity and Bitcoin denominated debt raised since the company’s inception to more than $80,000,000. Each of these equity rounds has delivered a strong price appreciation to prior investors, and the company’s share price has outperformed a Bitcoin return since its first priced equity round in 2020. “If a Bitcoin miner’s equity does not outperform a BTC return, that equity has no reason to exist. This philosophy is at the heart of our strategy at Cormint,” said McAvity. This press release features multimedia.
