Bitcoin [BTC] mining firms have reported increased production of BTC tokens at their facilities in September 2023. Most miners reported a modest to more than double surge in their September production in comparison to the prior month.
Notably, Marathon Digital produced 1,242 Bitcoins in September, in comparison to 1,072 Bitcoins in August. This increase of 16% in production was primarily due to improved uptime and decreased curtailment activity in Texas.
It has produced 8,610 BTC year-to-date (YTD) in 2023.
Moreover, Riot Platforms reported producing 362 Bitcoins in September, an increase of 8% in comparison to August when it produced 333 Bitcoins.
