9. Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIOT)

Riot Platforms saw its share prices surge by 22.06 percent week-on-week, mirroring Bitcoin prices’ return to the $105,000 territory, supported by strong US jobs data, renewed hopes for trade negotiations between the US and China, and increased Bitcoin production in May.

Earlier last week, Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIOT) announced it was able to mine 514 Bitcoins last month, or 11 percent higher than the 463 produced in April, and by 139 percent as compared with the 215 Bitcoins in the same month last year.

In other news, Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIOT) acquired 355 acres of land near its Corsicana site, intended for the development of data centers to serve high-performance compute, which typically require larger footprints than bitcoin mining to utilize the same power capacity.

“We will continue to look to strategically add additional land parcels to ensure that our Corsicana site is ideally suited to support designs for data centers that serve the needs of hyperscale and enterprise tenants,” said Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIOT) CEO Jason Les.
