Avoiding Bankruptcy:
In December, Argo mistakenly published drafts implying bankruptcy but later sold its mining facility to Galaxy Digital for $65 million and received a $35 million loan from the company.
Hot Take:
Argo Blockchain’s successful share sale has provided the company with much-needed funds to pay down debt and pursue growth opportunities. However, the drop in stock price suggests that investors may have concerns about the company’s future prospects. Argo’s previous mishap with bankruptcy rumors may have impacted investor confidence.
