Tuesday was another difficult day for bitcoin miners, with most stocks falling significantly.

Hive Blockchain’s 5-to-1 share consolidation plan went into effect at market open, bolstering stock prices from C$1.16 on the Toronto Stock exchange and $0.85 on Nasdaq on Monday afternoon to C$4.93 and $3.82, respectively. By market close, on Tuesday, they had dropped by 15% and 10.12%.

The Canada-based company said that the consolidation was meant to make its stock more attractive to investors.
