Bitmain, a leading Bitcoin mining hardware company, has launched a US-based production line to address delays caused by customs issues and trade tensions.

The Rise of Dogecoin and Litecoin in Mining Industry

Friday. December 6 at 8:00 AM

Bitcoin mining company BIT Mining has revealed that mining Dogecoin and Litecoin is more profitable than mining Bitcoin alone. The firm, based in Akron, Ohio, stated that these two cryptocurrencies are proving to be lucrative options due to their increased profitability compared to Bitcoin. Dogecoin, initially created as a joke, has now become the seventh largest digital coin, largely due to Elon Musk's influence. By engaging in merged mining of Dogecoin and Litecoin, BIT Mining has seen nearly three times more profitability than solely mining Bitcoin. The surge in prices of Dogecoin and Litecoin can be attributed to Musk's support and Donald Trump's backing of the crypto space. Despite Musk's positive comments on Dogecoin, he has clarified that he is not actively involved in cryptocurrency. BIT Mining has successfully mined significant amounts of Litecoin and Dogecoin, valued at millions of dollars. As the crypto market continues to evolve, diversifying revenue streams through mining alternative cryptocurrencies has proven to be a wise strategy for companies like BIT Mining.
