With today’s explosion higher in the price of Bitcoin, it’s a good idea to keep close tabs on MGT Capital Investments Inc. (OTCMKTS:MGTI). The crypto space has been in a stagnant bear market, but took off to start this week after Bitcoin established a higher-low pivot on the charts earlier this month and then broke out above resistance this week to regain traction above the key $7k level.

To further boost the story, the company just announced the appointment of Stephen Schaeffer as Chief Operating Officer of MGT. According to the release, “Mr. Schaeffer has served as President of the Company’s Crypto-Capital Strategies division since August 2017. In this role, Mr. Schaeffer has led the Company’s crypto team domestically as well as the expanded operation in Sweden. Mr. Schaeffer has an extensive background in building and operating large scale crypto mining centers since 2012. In addition, he has strong relationships with some of the largest hardware manufacturers as well as many of the most influential individuals in the Bitcoin industry.”

MGT Capital Investments Inc. (OTCMKTS:MGTI) pivoted its operations entirely into the cryptocurrency space last year, ramping up its Bitcoin mining operations in the state of Washington and northern Sweden, and divesting itself of its cybersecurity segment.

MGTI engages in bitcoin mining operation and recently also ramped up its Ethereum mining operations as well. MGT Capital Investments, Inc. was founded in 1979 and is headquartered in Durham, North Carolina.
