Marleau brings a wide range of regulatory and governing experience to Riot, having also served as governor of the Montreal and Vancouver stock exchanges. Marleau also boasts a strong academic background, and he currently serves as a chair for a lecture <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> in his name at the University of Ottawa. <\/p>\n<p>Marleau\u2019s appointment comes amid an unusually strong week for RIOT share price. RIOT closed at $6 even after opening the week at $4.10, easily outpacing Bitcoin&#8217;s nearly 20% rise. On the year, RIOT is up nearly 500% from $1.22.<\/p>\n<p>Appointing a new director is not the only move that the mining giant has made in recent weeks. Riot agreed to a massive 8,000-unit, $17.7 million-dollar purchase of new Antminer S19 Pro Bitcoin mining rigs to expand operations in August.<\/p>\n<p>The purchase may be an effort to stave off rival mining firm Marathon Patent Group\u2019s efforts to swipe the \u201cTop Miner in North America\u201d crown. As Cointelegraph previously reported, Marathon themselves purchased 10,000 S19 Pro units in late October. <\/p>\n<p>Like Riot, Marathon Patent Group\u2019s MARA ticker is trading much higher on the week, closing at $3.39 price after a $2.38 Monday open. <\/p>\n<p><template data-name=\"subscription_form\" data-type=\"markets_outlook\"><\/template><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
