HIVE Blockchain (OTCPK:HVBTF) is the first publicly traded company whose operations are solely devoted to cryptocurrency mining. HIVE was formed as the culmination of a partnership between Genesis Mining, the world's largest cloud bitcoin mining company, and the Fiore Group. HIVE Blockchain Technologies owns two cash flow positive GPU (graphics processing unit) mining farms and is in the process of building out three more in Sweden. The company is based in Vancouver, BC and is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX.V: HIVE) and OTC under the ticker HVBTF.
HIVE Blockchain gives investors pure exposure to owning their own Bitcoin mining rigs without having to build and store the mining rigs. HIVE caught my eye because it is the first and only publicly traded company that provides investors pure exposure to cryptocurrency mining.
