Riot Platforms also continues to send $BTC to NYDIG, depositing another 381 $BTC($24.51M) 10 hours ago.https://t.co/fTOd8FQMxR… pic.twitter.com/cgjHgfXGJG — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) August 7, 2026 This behavior from MARA and Riot comes just a month after reports claimed that BTC miners had disposed of a recor...
