Riot Blockchain Inc. announces rebranding to Riot Platforms Inc.
The company formerly known as Riot Blockchain, Inc., announced that it has changed its name to Riot Platforms, Inc.
Riot plans to expand
Riot Platforms is a leading company in the data center hosting and BTC mining industry. The company’s growth strategy to keep growing its increasingly diversified commercial operations is supported by Riot’s rebranding, which also symbolizes a reinvention of its corporate ambition to be the world’s top Bitcoin-driven infrastructure platform.
This is a significant milestone for Riot and comes as a result of our unique strategic position in the market…Our successful acquisitions of Whinstone U.S., which developed and operates North America’s largest dedicated Bitcoin mining data center facility, and ESS Metron, which enhanced our electrical component engineering and supply chain capabilities, have formed the foundation on which our teams have built, and will continue to develop, business platforms for further growth. The scope and scale of our businesses continues to expand, and this rebranding better reflects our position as strategic allocators of capital to increasingly broaden the scope of our Bitcoin-focused operations.
Jason Les, CEO of Riot.
