The company also noted that the incoming administration, led by President-elect Donald Trump, has shown a favorable stance toward cryptocurrency, which influenced their decision.
The Trump administration’s support for cryptocurrency was further emphasized during a June 13 meeting between Trump, public policy head Brian Morgenstern, and Riot Platforms CEO Jason Les. Following the discussion, Trump aimed to ensure that future Bitcoin mining occurs within the US.
Hive Digital’s executive chairman, Frank Holmes, pointed to the US financial markets as a major factor. Holmes said:
The US market, with its $40 trillion capitalization and daily trading volumes of $500 billion, offers HIVE the liquidity, visibility, and valuation opportunities we need to scale.
