Moreover, LMFA has made a new order for 4,000 Bitmain Miner Machines worth $25.3 million. Bitmain’s S19J Pro Antminer Machines are high-efficiency, high-hash rate machines that mine the SHA-256 algorithm at a maximum hash rate of 100 TH/s and use 3,000 KW/h of electricity.

LM Funding Expands into Cryptocurrency Mining Business
On 15th September 2021, LMFA announced the commencement of a cryptocurrency mining operation as part of its expansion and diversification strategy.

LMFA thinks that mining for bitcoin is a cost-effective approach to buy the asset at a risk-adjusted exposure to the ecosystem. The company’s purchase price per machine for our initial investment of 1,000 machines will be between $6,000 and $6,500, vs $11,000 to $15,000 on the spot market. Last but not think, the firm also thinks that buying the machines in bulk enhances their projected margin per bitcoin and reduces their exposure to Bitcoin price volatility.
