LMFA's performance demonstrates a sophisticated adaptation to post-halving economics. Their production of 21.7 Bitcoin in Q4 and 170.6 Bitcoin for full-year 2024 reflects the expected impact of April's halving event, which cut block rewards from 6.25 to 3.125 BTC. The company wisely leveraged this disruption as a catalyst for structural change.
The strategic shift to vertical integration addresses a critical vulnerability in the Bitcoin mining sector – dependency on third-party hosting facilities that often prioritize their operations during network congestion or price volatility. By controlling their infrastructure, LMFA can optimize for hashrate efficiency and maintain uptime during periods when transaction fees supplement diminished block rewards.
The implementation of Luxor's LuxOS firmware represents an intelligent optimization that could provide the equivalent hash power increase of adding

All variances are compared with prior year unless stated otherwise:
- Mined 21.7 Bitcoin at an average price of approximately
$83,000 , generating total revenue of approximately$2.0 million . The year-over-year decrease in revenue primarily reflects the effects of the April 2024 Bitcoin Halving event and the transition of miners from storage into the new Oklahoma mining site. - Net income attributable to LM Funding shareholders was approximately
$2.0 million compared with a net loss of approximately$1.6 million . The improvement in the net income was primarily driven by the new ASU Bitcoin standards that require mark-to-market valuation adjustment for our Bitcoin holdings. - Core EBITDA was approximately
$3.3 million compared with$0.3 million 1. The improvements in Core EBITDA were primarily due to gains on the fair value of Bitcoin in addition to lower digital mining costs and reduced compensation. - At year end, cash was approximately
$3.4 million . Digital assets were$14.0 million based on 150.2 Bitcoin held at a price of approximately$93,000 as of December 31, 2024. - Net book value of equity was approximately

Q4’24 Operational Highlights
- 15 MW site acquisition: The Company further executed its transition from an infrastructure-light strategy, mining at hosted facilities, to a fully vertically integrated strategy with low-cost electricity underpinning its operations. In addition to the low-cost energy, the strategy allows controlled uptime, which LM Funding believes will lead to more efficient mining and higher margins.
- Mining fleet upgrade: In Q1 2025, the Company partnered with Luxor Technology Corporation to install their proprietary LuxOS firmware on its existing fleet, which could potentially boost the Company’s mining efficiency by 10
-15% . This upgrade allows LM Funding to mine Bitcoin at a higher profitability without any additional capex investment.
CEO Commentary
Bruce Rodgers, Chairman and CEO of LM Funding, commented, “Using the halving as our pivot point of opportunity, we transitioned from an infrastructure-light hosted mining strategy to a vertically integrated model—one where we manage the infrastructure ourselves, ensuring better margins and mitigating risks associated with third-party hosting arrangements. With our Oklahoma facility, we secured low-cost power for our miners and now we own and totally control our mining infrastructure and costs. This vertical integration significantly reduces our fleet-wide energy costs and improves our operations for enhanced uptime and mining efficiency. Looking forward, our strong balance sheet and lean operations position us to grow our mining revenue by seeking to acquire new mining sites with similar size, prices, and terms.”
CFO Commentary
Richard Russell, CFO of LM Funding, stated, "Throughout our expansion last year, we remained disciplined in our spending. By actively maintaining a low-cost structure - from power sourcing and infrastructure investments to staffing and equipment - we were able to successfully navigate a challenging year for the industry and our first Bitcoin Halving event, which occurred in April 2024. This strategic cost control enabled us to achieve profitability in 2024 on a Core EBITDA basis, as well as grow our Bitcoin treasury, which is a significant piece of our long-term strategy. By retaining a portion of our Bitcoin mined, we not only capture potential upside for shareholders but also deepen our alignment with the broader Bitcoin industry."
Full Year 2024 Financial Highlights
All variances are compared with prior year unless stated otherwise:
- Mined 170.6 Bitcoin at an average price of approximately

$7.3 million compared with a net loss of approximately$15.9 million in 2023. - Core EBITDA income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 was approximately
$3.9 million , compared with a Core EBITDA loss of$0.2 million in 2023. The improvements in Core EBITDA were primarily due to gains on the fair value of Bitcoin in addition to lower digital mining costs and reduced compensation.

NON-GAAP CORE EBITDA RECONCILIATION
Our reported results are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). We also disclose Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") and Core Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization ("Core EBITDA") which adjusts for unrealized loss on investment and equity securities, impairment loss on mined digital assets, impairment of long-lived assets, impairment of prepaid hosting deposits, contract termination costs and stock compensation expense and option expense, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of Bitcoin miners.
The following tables reconcile net loss, which we believe is the most comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA and Core EBITDA:
