“The second quarter of 2024 was significant for Gryphon as we achieved company records in hashrate and energy efficiency,” noted Rob Chang, CEO of Gryphon. “While the company is only five months removed from debuting on the Nasdaq in February of this year, we continue to set company records as we move forward as a public company.”
