On October 7, 2022, Argo issued a press release "announc[ing] several strategic actions that are intended to bring in additional capital to the business and ensure that the Company has the working capital necessary to execute its current strategy and meet its obligations over the next twelve months." Argo stated that in addition to measures being undertaken to reduce costs and preserve capital, Argo has signed a non-binding letter of intent with an affiliate of New York Digital Investment Group to amend existing equipment financing agreement; plans to sell 3,400 mining machines for cash proceeds of £6 million; and intends to raise approximately £24 million via proposed subscription with a strategic investor.

The decrease in BTC mined is primarily due to a 12% increase in average network difficulty during September. Additionally, the Company is continuing to curtail operations at its Helios facility in Dickens County, Texas during periods of high electricity prices."
On this news, Argo's stock price fell $0.27 per share, or 10.9%, to close at $2.19 per share on October 11, 2022.
