Mining companies like Marathon Digital Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:MARA) and Riot Blockchain Inc (NASDAQ:RIOT) have seen their share price rally by over 1000% in the past six months that followed the surge in cryptocurrency prices. The attractive fees to be earned in cryptocurrency mining operations have made the business a lucrative investment for many companies that have been focused on moving into the space. On March 8, Norway-based oil and gas giant Aker (OTC:AKAAF) announced it would set up its own Bitcoin mining unit. The company would set up a unit called Seetee for its mining operations and will reportedly place all of Seetee’s liquid assets in Bitcoin.
