In addition, shares of bitcoin miner Marathon Digital (MARA) – which reported fourth- quarter earnings late Thursday after the report was delayed by several weeks because of an inquiry by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission related to accounting matters – were up close to 5%.
Marathon produced a record 1,562 bitcoins in the fourth quarter, although its earnings per share and revenue for the quarter came in short of analysts' estimates, according to FactSet. Some of the loss was due to a $332.9 million charge related to the carrying value of mining rigs and advances to vendors.
