- Genesis Digital Assets co-founder and CEO Marco Streng said the capital will help the company expand its operations in the clean energy space, a signal of the heightened importance of greening bitcoin.
- “As we work towards our goal of bringing 1.4 gigawatts online by 2023, the capital raised from this round will be used to expand our bitcoin mining operations in locations where clean energy is easily accessible,” Streng said in the announcement.
- Paradigm co-founder and Managing Partner Matt Huang joined Genesis Digital Assets’ board of directors following the round.
