HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd (CVE:HIVE) stock continues to trend lower and is now down 16% in the past week. The company reported earnings up 397% year over year and 30% quarter over quarter to $68.2 million. The cryptocurrency company’s net income also rose 273% to $64.2 million, achieving record results. The company ended the quarter with 1,813 Bitcoin worth $83.1 million and 23,290 Ether worth $84.9 million.

Riot Blockchain Inc (NASDAQ:RIOT) stock has been in a sharp correction mode. In the last 6-month, the stock has declined by 51%. If there is a sustained reversal in Bitcoin, the worst of the downside might be over for the stock. For Q3 2021, Riot reported revenue of $64.8 million with an average mining cost of $10,096. Further, for the quarter, Riot reported a hashing capacity of 3.1 EH/s.

From a growth perspective, Riot expects to increase capacity to 12.8EH/s by Q4 2022. With four-fold jump in capacity, the company is positioned for quarterly revenue in excess of $250 million. Therefore, the annual revenue visibility for Riot and Marathon is likely to be similar once the current expansion is completed.

Graystone Company (OTCMKTS:GYST): The company that is going to complete the list of stocks is that of Graystone Company Inc. There has actually been no news about the company this morning but last week on February 17, the company had actually made an announcement with regards to its expansion activities into buying real estate on the Metaverse.

The company announced that it had established a new division and also allocated a specific budget for the purpose of acquiring real estate on the Metaverse from the Decentraland 3D virtual platform. In this regard, it is perhaps important to point out that initially, Graystone Company had made a decision to get into this operation in the fourth quarter of 2022. However, the management had decided to bring that operation forward, and hence, the division was launched in February this year. If you are looking into Metaverse stocks then the Graystone stock could be the one worth tracking.
