Riot Platforms saw its share prices rise by 9.57 percent on Friday to close at $9.85 apiece, mirroring Bitcoin's rally, supported by its improved production of the cryptocurrency last month. As of writing, Bitcoin's prices are up by 2.78 percent at $104,434.90 apiece, as traders cheered news of better-than-expected employment data. Meanwhile, Riot Platforms, Inc.

Bitcoin mining aside, Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIOT) said it recently acquired 355 acres of land near its Corsicana site, intended for the development of data centers to serve high-performance compute, which typically require larger footprints than bitcoin mining to utilize the same power capacity. 'We will continue to look to strategically add additional land parcels to ensure that our Corsicana site is ideally suited to support designs for data centers that serve the needs of hyperscale and enterprise tenants,' said Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIOT) CEO Jason Les. Overall, RIOT ranks 8th on our list of Friday's best-performing stocks.
