Argo Blockchain share price analysis: could soon spike by 93%

Argo Blockchain (LON: ARB) share price had its best day since November 9th as Bitcoin price continued its recovery. The stock surged to a high of 10.50p on Monday, much higher than last month’s low of $7.50. Other Bitcoin mining companies like Riot Blockchain, Marathon Digital, and Hut 8 Mining have also soared.

Bitcoin mining companies are having a great year, helped by the surging cryptocurrency prices. In the United States, companies like Riot, Mara, and Cipher Mining have been the best-performing stocks in the Russell 2000 index.

Argo Blockchain, however, has been one of the worst-performing Bitcoin mining stocks this year. Its stock remains about 46% below the highest point this year as concerns about its viability continue. This is after the company avoided bankruptcy in December by raising $100 million from investors, including Galaxy Digital.

Argo Blockchain also diluted its existing shareholders when it raised 5.7 million pounds by selling shares in the open market. Raising capital via share sale usually dilutes existing investors by adding the number of outstanding shares.

Argo Blockchain share price jumped on Monday after the company updated investors on its activities in November. The firm mined 145 BTC in November, a 5% increase from the previous month. Its revenue came in at over $5.3 million, the highest monthly increase on record.

The other important news was that the company appointed Thomas Chippas as the new CEO. He is an experienced professional in the industry having served as the CEO of CBOE Digital. Before that, he worked at Citadel, Citigroup, and Barclays.

The most recent results revealed that the company’s adjusted EBITDA rose by 185% to $3.1 million as its mining margin rose by 58%. It also reduced its debt by $5 million.
