Odaily Planet Daily reports that Riot Platforms transferred about 500 bitcoins out of its wallet on Wednesday, which may be related to the company’s sale activity; as of now, the company has not publicly commented on the matter. Analysts believe that this move could further intensify the selling wave among publicly listed bitcoin mining firms. Last week, another bitcoin miner, MARA Holdings, disclosed that it sold about $1.1 billion worth of bitcoins in March to conduct a discounted repurchase of convertible bonds. Recently, multiple publicly listed bitcoin mining firms have sold a cumulative total of more than 15,000 bitcoins to balance operating and investment needs; however, the selling trend is not universal. Bitcoin treasury companies including Metaplanet are still actively accumulating. (Cointelegraph)
