Insights

The announcement by Gryphon Digital Mining, Inc. of achieving a record self-mining hashing power is a significant operational milestone with potential implications for its financial performance and competitive standing. The reported average self-mining hashing power of 864 PH/s (petahash per second) indicates a robust increase in the company's mining capabilities. This metric is crucial as it directly correlates to the number of bitcoin that can be mined; higher hashing power means increased potential for mining revenue.

Furthermore, the bitcoin efficiency of 68 BTC/EH (bitcoin per exahash) suggests that Gryphon is optimizing its mining operations, which could lead to lower operational costs and higher profitability. Investors may interpret this operational efficiency as a positive signal for Gryphon's cost management and technological edge. However, it's essential to consider the volatility of bitcoin prices, which can significantly impact the value of mined coins and, consequently, the company's revenue.

Producing approximately 58 bitcoin-equivalent coins in a month may be a strong indicator of Gryphon's revenue-generating potential. Given the current market value of bitcoin, this production rate can be translated into tangible revenue figures. Investors should evaluate this update in the context of Gryphon's operational costs and the current market price of bitcoin to assess the potential impact on the company's earnings and stock price.

It is also important to analyze the company's growth trajectory and investment in infrastructure. The increase in hashing power typically requires substantial capital expenditure, which could affect the company's cash flow and balance sheet. An evaluation of the return on investment for such capital expenditures is essential for understanding the long-term financial sustainability of Gryphon's operations.

Gryphon's mission to become a leading carbon-negative bitcoin miner is noteworthy from an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) perspective. ESG-conscious investors are increasingly considering the environmental impact of mining operations. Gryphon's commitment to carbon negativity could enhance its appeal to this growing segment of the market and potentially provide a competitive advantage.

However, the actual environmental impact of Gryphon's operations and their carbon offsetting measures should be scrutinized. The company's ESG disclosures and third-party verifications, if available, would be critical in evaluating the authenticity of its carbon-negative claim and the potential for ESG-related risk or opportunity.

Record self-mining hashing power achieved

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Gryphon Digital Mining, Inc. (Nasdaq: GRYP) ("Gryphon" or the "Company"), a company on a mission to become a leading carbon-negative bitcoin miner, has released its operational update for January 2024.

Key highlights for the month:

  • Produced approximately 58 bitcoin-equivalent coins
  • Recorded bitcoin efficiency of 68 BTC/EH1
  • Company record average self-mining hashing power of 864 PH/s
  • Total attributable hashing power of about ~1.3 EH/s

During January, Gryphon mined approximately 58 bitcoin-equivalent coins while posting a Company record average self-mining hashing power of 864 PH/s and total attributable hashing power of approximately 1.3 EH/s. The month's performance translated into a bitcoin efficiency rating of 68 BTC/EH.

The Company's bitcoin efficiency performance declined from its December 2023 mark of 81 BTC/EH, or a reduction of about 16%. December's performance ranked second among publicly disclosing peers, which averaged 66 BTC/EH for the month. In 2023, Gryphon's bitcoin efficiency ranked at or tied for first in 9 out of the 12 months of the year, averaging 86 BTC/EH vs a peer annual average of 71 BTC/EH. Since Gryphon commenced operations in September 2021, it has consistently placed among the top three of these publicly available bitcoin efficiency scores – ranking at or tied for first in 18 of the 27 months, or two-thirds of the time.

Month over month, the 58 bitcoin-equivalent coins mined in January decreased by approximately 14% from December production of 68 BTC. The average self-mining hashing power by the Company increased by 2% to a Company record 864 PH/s as the purchase of newer generation S19k Pros were installed, offsetting the impact of the termination of mining for 134 S19j Pro miners that were formerly hosted at a non-carbon neutral site, which then accounted for approximately 1% of Gryphon's self-mining operations. Total attributable hashing power remained at 1.3 EH/s.
