Bitcoin miner Compute North files for bankruptcy

Marathon Digital continues to mine Bitcoin despite huge price drop

Bitcoin (BTC) mining hosting party Compute North is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings started in the United States. Growing bear market pressure and rising energy prices seem to be killing the company. CEO Dave Perrill has already taken a step back, but remains on the board.

That is a big gap, which is impossible to close in this market. The only thing a Chapter 11 procedure can do is buy time for Compute North. They will probably have huge hopes for the market to recover during this period. In any case, this seems to require a change of course from the Federal Reserve. However, the question is whether it will come in time for Compute North.
