Stronghold Digital Mining said it is considering a potential sale and other strategic alternatives.

The bitcoin miner said Thursday that its board has initiated a formal strategic review process, with no timeline or completion deadline set and no assurance that any transaction will be consummated.

Chief Executive Greg Beard said the decision is based on what the board considers to be a dislocation in Stronghold's valuation compared with that of its miner peers. He also said he believes Stronghold has the capacity to expand for either further bitcoin mining or advanced computing.

The move comes as the price of Bitcoin retreats from all-time highs reached in mid-March.
