    Publicly traded Bitcoin mining company, Riot Platforms, has just initiated a transfer of ~99 BTC worth $9.29M over two transactions to NYDIG, an institutional custody and trading platform. These transactions likely mark the beginning of several more transactions to sell off some or all of their mined Bitcoin for profit.
