Insights

This operational update reveals significant developments in LMFA's mining operations. The company's 140.5 BTC holdings valued at $13.3 million demonstrate substantial asset growth. Monthly mining production increased from 6.6 to 7.3 BTC, showing operational improvements. The planned 15 MW Oklahoma facility acquisition, expanding to potential 75 MW capacity, marks a strategic scaling effort that could significantly boost mining capabilities.

The reduction in deployed miners from 5,950 to 3,700 year-over-year suggests equipment optimization rather than capacity expansion. However, the planned increase to 5,200 miners post-Oklahoma site acquisition indicates renewed growth momentum. The strategy to accumulate BTC amid price appreciation aligns with industry best practices for value creation.

LMFA's financial position shows strategic asset management with their substantial Bitcoin holdings. The company's decision to sell 9 BTC while maintaining a strong $13.3 million crypto position demonstrates balanced liquidity management. The planned Oklahoma facility expansion represents significant capital investment but could drive long-term value through increased mining capacity and operational efficiency.

The year-over-year comparison reveals evolving operational metrics, with current focus on efficiency over raw mining power. This strategic shift, combined with the vertical integration strategy, positions LMFA for potentially improved financial performance in the evolving crypto market landscape.

(NASDAQ: LMFA) (“LM Funding” or the “Company”), a cryptocurrency mining and technology-based specialty finance company, today provided a preliminary, unaudited Bitcoin mining and operational update for the month ended October 31, 2024.

CFO Comments

Richard Russell, Chief Financial Officer of LM Funding, stated, "Mining production was slightly higher in October 2024 compared to September 2024, attributed to the installation of more efficient software on our existing machines and improved uptime efficiency. As we continue to refine and expand our operations, we are emphasizing the accumulation of our BTC holdings in anticipation of the BTC price increases to complement the vertical integration strategy announced earlier this year."

This approach highlights LM Funding's commitment to enhancing operational efficiency while strategically managing its Bitcoin assets. By focusing on both mining productivity and asset retention, the Company aims to position itself for sustained growth and resilience in the competitive cryptocurrency market.

CEO Comments

Bruce Rodgers, Chief Executive Officer of LM Funding, commented, "The Company’s recently announced acquisition of the 15 MW mining site in Oklahoma will significantly enhance our active mining capacity by offering a cost-effective location for our existing mining machines. This strategic site will provide an additional 5 MW of mining capacity, which we anticipate will increase our deployed miners to approximately 5,200 units. Following the closing of the site acquisition in early December, the Company currently plans to commence an expansion process in the first quarter of 2025 to add an additional 60 MW. This expansion aligns with our strategic objectives to scale operations efficiently and maintain our competitive position in the cryptocurrency mining landscape."

This acquisition underscores LM Funding's commitment to growing its mining capabilities through strategic investments and location optimization.
