The program promises to extend the hardware's economic life while reducing mining operations' environmental impact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marathon Digital CFO Salman Khan highlighted the project's financial benefits, noting that the initiative will not only extend the lifespan of the mining equipment but also enhance the company's return on capital
