One crypto mining company just raised 25 million Euros (about $32.5 million USD) through an IPO on the London Stock Exchange (LSE). The UK-based Argo Mining (ticker:ARB) provides ‘accessible’ crypto mining via a subscription service and is the first company to be listed on the LSE.

Initially, the company raised 5 million GBP which is about $6.5 million – and more than its initial goal of 20 million GBP through the IPO. Argo kicked off on the exchange with around 156 million shares that accounted for 53.2% of its shared capital, as one company document states.
The shares were priced at 16 pence and gave the business a total market valuation of 47 million GBP – or $61.2 million US dollars.
As the executive chairman of Argo, Jonathan Bixby stated in the document:
“Argo’s admission to the London main market is a major step in the company’s development and will put us in a strong position to execute our long-term growth strategy. We are delighted with the strong response from investors which will enable us to grow our business in multiple jurisdictions.”
Bixby also told the Financial Times that Argo’s plans are to be “the Amazon Web Services of crypto”. As he said:
“More than 90 percent of crypto mining is done by elites on industrial scale because it is technically very difficult to do. It is incredibly expensive to buy, up front, the hardware you need at $5,000 a machine.”
Meanwhile, several other mining companies in the crypto space are also considering IPOs.
