In general, as a result of such rapid growth, the overall total capitalization of the bitcoin mining industry reached $26,4 billion. At the same time, the rate of the asset itself fell by 0,04% over the past day.

Among those attending the meeting were Riot Platforms CEO and head of public policy Jason Les and Brian Morgenstern, CleanSpark chairman Matthew Schultz, and TeraWulf board member Amanda Fabiano.
