Abits Group (NASDAQ: ABTS) veröffentlichte seine Betriebsupdates für das 3. Quartal 2024 und berichtete über eine Mining-Produktion von 19,54 Bitcoins (ein Rückgang von 24,1 im 2. Quartal) und einen Umsatz von 1,26 Millionen Dollar. Die Mining-Flotte des Unternehmens umfasst 1.370 S19 Hydro XP-Einheiten, 305 S19J Pro-Einheiten, 300 T21-Einheiten und 500 S19 XP-Einheiten, die für den Einsatz im Oktober geplant sind. Wichtige Kennzahlen sind eine Flottenschwankungsrate von 21,19 J/TH und eine maximale Hash-Rate von etwa 430 PH. Strategische Entwicklungen umfassen die Erweiterung der Stromkapazität des Duff-Standorts auf 12 MW, die Reduzierung der Drosselungsfähigikeit auf 87,5 % und die Umsetzung von Infrastrukturverbesserungen. Das Unternehmen hält einen positiven operativen Cashflow aufrecht und plant, zusätzliche Mining-Einheiten einzusetzen, um im 4. Quartal eine Hash-Rate von über 500 PH zu überschreiten.

Positive
  • Expanded power capacity from 10 MW to 12 MW at Duff Site
  • Reduced curtailment capacity from 95% to 87.5%
  • Positive operating cash flow maintained
  • Low electricity cost at $0.0351/kWh
  • Planned hash rate increase beyond 500 PH with new equipment deployment
Negative
  • Bitcoin mining output decreased 18.9% from Q2 (19.54 vs 24.1 bitcoins)
  • Quarterly revenue of $1.26M indicates relatively modest operations scale

Insights

The Q3 performance reveals significant operational challenges with $1.26 million in revenue and a concerning decline in Bitcoin production to 19.54 BTC from 24.1 BTC in Q2, primarily due to the halving event. The 27.5% drop in mining output raises sustainability concerns, despite maintaining relatively low electricity costs at $0.0351/kWh.

The expansion of the Duff Site power capacity and reduction in curtailment rates are positive developments, but the current $19.2M market cap appears stretched given the operational metrics. The deployment of 500 new S19 XP miners could boost hash rate by 70 PH, potentially improving future revenue, but profitability remains highly dependent on Bitcoin price movements and network difficulty adjustments.

The mining fleet diversification strategy shows promise, particularly with the hydro-cooling S19 Hydro XP units and upcoming S19 XP deployment. The fleet's efficiency at 21.19 J/TH is competitive but not industry-leading. The implementation of proprietary monitoring software and enhanced disruption response capabilities demonstrates good operational management.

The reduction in curtailment from 95% to 87.5% and water infrastructure improvements should boost operational reliability. However, the current 430 PH hash rate is modest compared to industry leaders and the planned expansion to 500 PH still leaves ABTS as a relatively small player in the mining sector.
