Power & Digital Infrastructure Acquisition (XPDIW) Stock Rockets: More To Come?

Blockchain hosting and cryptocurrency mining are two lines of businesses that often leads to considerable excitement among investors. Hence, it was no surprise to see that the Power & Digital Infrastructure Acquisition Corp (NASDAQ:XPDIW) came into sharp focus investors yesterday and ended up recording gains of as much as 26%.

The company announced yesterday that it is going to take the digital asset mining and blockchain hosting company Core Scientific Holding Co. The deal that is going to take Core Scientific public is going to place a value of $4.3 billion on the combined entity.
