Positioning
Riot is one of the larger publicly traded Bitcoin mining companies in North America, focusing on scaling its mining operations and increasing its hash rate. Its competitive advantage lies in its large-scale infrastructure and access to relatively low-cost power, although this advantage is lessened by the cost of self hosting
Total Addressable Market (TAM)
