UPDATE: Roth Capital Starts Riot Blockchain (RIOT) at Buy

Roth Capital analyst Darren Aftahi initiates coverage on Riot Blockchain (NASDAQ: RIOT) with a Buy rating and a price target of $55.00.

The analyst comments "We initiate coverage with a Buy and view RIOT as an equity-based way to gain exposure to the quickly expanding Bitcoin mining and infrastructure market. RIOT’s acquisition of Whinstone, we believe, is a game-changer, enabling it to nearly double its capacity (end of FY22) with perhaps optionality for more. Its increased capacity, strong capital position, and ability to scale quickly with owned-and-operated infrastructure for both self-mining and third-party hosting, offer investors a compelling investment thesis."
