  • Primeblock operates data centers in North America and the website explains it had 1,000 petahash of hashrate. That equates to 0.6% of Bitcoin’s global hashrate today and Primeblock details it has over 70 megawatts of capacity across the company’s mining facilities.
  • The mining operation offers hosting services, equipment supply chain resources, logistics, and mining containers. “Primeblock’s fully integrated approach to mining and digital infrastructure is a critical advantage that ensures industry-leading deployment lifecycle from planning to complete setup,” the company’s website explains.
  • Following the merger, the company will be led by Primeblock’s chief executive officer Gaurav Budhrani.
  • Primeblock follows a slew of crypto firms that have gone public and more specifically firms that have leveraged a special purpose acquisition company deal. Firms like Griid, Apifiny, Circle, Bitdeer, and Coincheck have all utilized SPAC deals.
  • However, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission recently revealed new draft reforms for SPAC disclosures. SPAC deals could face legal challenges if the proposals are enacted and SPACs will have to disclose a lot more financial information concerning sponsors and blank-check firms.
  • “The Securities and Exchange Commission is proposing rules intended to enhance investor protections in initial public offerings by special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs),” the U.S. regulator’s proposed rules document notes.
