Core Scientific, one of the largest Bitcoin mining companies, has reached a milestone by mining over $710 million worth of Bitcoin in 2023. The company has become the second-largest publicly-traded Bitcoin miner globally. However, recently, blockchain analytics platform Arkham publicly exposed over 1,250 Bitcoin addresses associated with Core Scientific, providing transparency into the company's mining, storage, and transfer processes. This move could potentially lead to other major players in the mining industry becoming more transparent with their operations. Although some miners might argue that this exposes security risks, it could address industry responsibility and set new standards for Bitcoin mining transparency.
