CleanSpark, for instance, grew its BTC mining hash rate from 1.9 EH\/s at the start of 2022 to 6.0 EH\/s or about 62,000 miners to date \u2014 an increase of 189%, the Compass Mining report stated.<\/p>\n<p>Bit Digital and Riot Blockchain bumped their hash rate by 157%\u00a0 and 148%, respectively. Additionally, according to the report, Bitfarms, Digihost, and Marathon Digital Holdings each increased their mining hash rate by 100%.<\/p>\n<p>The increasing mining capabilities inevitably led to increased Bitcoin production throughout 2022. For example, Riot Blockchain has mined 4,872 BTC as of November 2022 compared to 3,812 BTC and 1,033 BTC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riotblockchain.com\/news-media\/press-releases\/detail\/122\/riot-blockchain-announces-december-production-and#:~:text=Production%20Updates,2020%20production%20of%20302%20BTC.\">produced<\/a> in 2021 and 2020, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>CleanSpark has produced 4,157 BTC year-to-date compared to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/en\/news-release\/2022\/01\/06\/2362532\/0\/en\/CleanSpark-Announces-December-2021-Bitcoin-Production.html\">1,528 BTC mined in 2021<\/a>, as per the report.

Therefore, many miners proceeded to use their cash reserves to purchase BTC in addition to mining them.<\/p>\n<p>In the first week of January 2022, Bitfarms <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/news-release\/2022\/01\/10\/2363804\/0\/en\/Bitfarms-Buys-1-000-Bitcoin.html\">announced<\/a> the purchase of 1,000 BTC for $43.2 million, increasing its BTC holdings by 30%. In the second half of January, Argo Blockchain <a href=\"https:\/\/polaris.brighterir.com\/public\/argo_blockchain\/news\/rns\/story\/ry4z38r\">bought<\/a> 172.5 BTC.<\/p>\n<p>Bitfarms sold 7,309 BTC in 2022, including the 1,000 BTC purchased in January, while Argo Blockchain also sold most of its BTC at much lower prices. Both firms also borrowed large sums \u2014 Bitfarms <a href=\"https:\/\/bitfarms.com\/investors\/news-events\/press-releases\/detail\/106\/bitfarms-enters-32-million-equipment-financing-agreement\">entered<\/a> into a $32 million mining equipment financing agreement with BlockFi, while Argo Blockchain released terms of extensive loans from New York Digital Investment Group \u2014 to fund growth.<\/p>\n<p>With the bear cycle running full steam, most miners faced liquidity issues.
