Cryptocurrency mining firm HIVE Digital has released its October production results, showcasing a 51% year-over-year growth in its Bitcoin portfolio value.

Global Bitcoin (BTC) mining firm HIVE Digital reported that it mined 117 BTC in October, marking a 1% increase month-over-month and bringing its HODL portfolio to 2,624 BTC, a 51% increase compared to the previous year.

In a Friday press release on Nov. 8, Frank Holmes, executive chairman of HIVE Digital, credited the firm’s portfolio growth to the team’s “prudent capital management,” which allowed the firm to “minimize dilution and cover operational expenses.”

Commenting on the recent U.S. election results, HIVE Digital described them as a “positive shift for the digital asset sector,” expecting favorable outcomes from an anticipated crypto-friendly administration in the White House.

“With President Trump’s administration and a Republican Congress, the company anticipates policies that will benefit both the Bitcoin ecosystem and capital markets.”
