HIVE becomes the first Bitcoin mining company to go public

The first Bitcoin mining company to go public was HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd.. HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. is a growth-oriented, TSX.V-listed company building a bridge from the bitcoin sector to traditional capital markets.
 

HIVE owns state-of-the-art green energy-powered data centre facilities in Canada, Sweden, and Iceland which produce newly minted Bitcoin continuously on the cloud. Their deployments provide shareholders with exposure to the operating margins of digital currency mining as well as a portfolio of crypto-coins.
 

HIVE went public in 2017 via a reverse takeover and was listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange Venture Exchange. This marked a significant milestone in the history of Bitcoin mining, as it was the first time a Bitcoin mining company was publicly traded.
