MARA (MARA) is leading gains among miners, up almost 20%. The positive price action is helped by the bitcoin held on its balance sheet, which is 26,842 BTC, a level surpassed only MicroStrategy.

In addition, on Nov. 8, CleanSpark (CLSK) addressed the trading halt that occurred on Nov. 7 due to a clerical warrant conversion error, with the company’s acquisition of GRIID on Oct. 30.

“An issue relating to the calculation of the number of outstanding warrants (Nasdaq: CLSKW) (the “Warrants”) and the number of shares underlying those Warrants. The trading halt is not the result of any issue associated with CleanSpark’s business, operations, filings with the SEC, financial statements or securities,” the fir, said.
