Argo Blockchain has announced the pricing of its initial public offering (IPO) of 7.5 million American Depositary Shares (ADSs), which represent an aggregate of 75 million ordinary shares, at a public offer price of $15 (£10.93) each.

The cryptocurrency mining company, which is currently listed on the London Stock Exchange, said in a statement on Thursday that it has raised gross proceeds of $112.5m before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions.

"Each ADS offered represents 10 ordinary shares of Argo Blockchain. In addition, Argo Blockchain has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,125,000 ADSs at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions," it said.

The ADSs will trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol ARBK from Thursday. The offering is expected to close on 27 September, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
