“# Crypto miner PrimeBlock reportedly plans to go public through 10X Capital merger <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Prime Blockchain, also known as PrimeBlock, is reportedly preparing for a public offering in the United States through a special-purpose acquisition company, or SPAC.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a Thursday report, Bloomberg said<\/a> Bitcoin (BTC) mining firm PrimeBlock is currently discussing going public in the U.S. through a merger with 10X Capital Venture Acquisition Corp II. Though the terms of the deal are reportedly not yet finalized, the merger could result in a valuation of the two firms at roughly $1.5 billion following a $150 million fundraising round from the venture capital firm.<\/p>\n

A crypto mining company based in the United States, PrimeBlock rolled out its first operations in Tennessee and North Carolina in September. The firm announced on Nov. 4 it had app<\/a>ointed Goldman Sachs veteran Gaurav Budhrani as the company\u2019s CEO and former tZERO chief legal officer Alan Konevsky as its CLO.<\/p>\n

As of Nov. 4, PrimeBlock reported it held more than 10,300 rigs equipped for BTC mining, as well as 2,600 Ether (ETH) miners. According to Bloomberg, the company currently mines roughly five BTC daily operating at a hashrate of one exahash. <\/p>\n

Other crypto firms have used the SPAC route to go public in the United States. In March, Bitfury’s U.S. subsidiary Cipher Mining said it would be merging with Good Works Acquisition Corp as part of a $2 billion deal to become a publicly listed company. Bitcoin miner Core Scientific is also set for a public listing on Nasdaq following a $4.3 billion merger with Power and Digital Infrastructure Acquisition Corp.<\/p>\n

Cointelegraph reached out to PrimeBlock, but did not receive a response at the time of publication.<\/em><\/p>\n
