The global shortage of semiconductors and the supply crisis also affected American miners – several large mining companies cannot receive the purchased equipment.
Riot Blockchain, which operates data centers in Texas, was to receive 2,000 Bitmain AntMiner S19J Pro devices in late September and 4,000 more in early October. However, the total number of ASIC miners at the moment has increased by only 1,624 and is 27,270. In November, the volume of deliveries should be 11,500 devices, but the probability of receiving the equipment in full is not high.
A similar situation is with the Canadian company Bitfarms. Chinese mining hardware manufacturer Bitmain is due to deliver 7,230 ASIC miners to Bitfarms between September and December. However, the mining company has received only 2,869 devices so far.
Marathon Digital bought a huge batch of ASIC miners from Bitmain and was supposed to receive 111,416 devices by June 2022. That is, approximately 11,000 devices per month. However, during September, the Chinese manufacturer delivered only 5,400 pieces of equipment.
“In October, we began ordering charter flights to deliver our equipment to mitigate the impact of the global supply chain crisis on our growth. Thanks to this, the average delivery time of equipment has decreased by 50% compared to September. As long as it remains economically viable, we will continue to book charter flights, ”
a statement Marathon.
Despite the problems with the supply of equipment, the hashrate of the network of the first cryptocurrency was able to recover after the fall this summer.
