Riot's August production update reveals mixed results. The company produced 322 Bitcoin, down
The company's power strategy remains a key focus, with
Riot's expansion plans are progressing, with the Corsicana Facility's third 100 MW building nearing completion. The company remains on track to reach its Q3 hash rate target of 28 EH/s and year-end target of 36 EH/s, which could significantly boost future production capacity.
Riot's power strategy demonstrates a sophisticated approach to energy management in the volatile Texas market. By participating in ERCOT's Four Coincident Peak Program, Riot not only reduces its own costs but also contributes to grid stability during peak demand periods. This flexibility is a significant advantage in the mining industry.
The company's ability to achieve an all-in power cost of
However, the impact of high temperatures on operations, particularly at the Corsicana Facility, highlights the ongoing challenges of large-scale mining in Texas. The completion of cooling systems in Buildings A1 and A2 will be important for maintaining consistent operations year-round.
Riot's infrastructure expansion is progressing well, with the third 100 MW building at Corsicana nearing completion. This rapid development is impressive and should significantly boost Riot's hash rate capacity. The planned increase to 28 EH/s by Q3 and 36 EH/s by year-end represents substantial growth, potentially positioning Riot as one of the largest Bitcoin miners globally.
The company's focus on building cooling systems is crucial, especially given the challenges faced due to high temperatures in August. Improving temperature management will be key to maximizing uptime and efficiency. The acquisition and integration of Kentucky facilities also diversifies Riot's geographic footprint, potentially reducing weather-related risks.
However, investors should monitor the execution of these expansion plans closely, as rapid growth can sometimes lead to operational challenges or unexpected delays.

Riot's Power Strategy Overview
Riot's power strategy is based on being a flexible consumer of power. The Company typically consumes power when it is low-cost and abundant, as opposed to residential consumers, who typically increase power usage during peak periods of demand. When demand increases and/or supply decreases, causing prices to rise, the Company can either power down to reduce power costs, or bid competitively to provide the grid operator with visibility into, and control over, Riot's power utilization. This control gives the grid operator the ability to either absorb excess power when supply is high or to curtail Riot's operations in order to reduce demand when beneficial to the grid, and ultimately, to all consumers.
During August, Riot continued its participation in ERCOT's Four Coincident Peak Program ("4CP"). The 4CP program is an opportunity for users of power to curtail usage during periods of highest demand on the grid in each of the four summer months of the year. Riot curtailed operations in August during peak periods of demand within ERCOT and will continue to do so throughout the summer. These periods of curtailment occur whenever total demand on the grid could reach its peak point for each month and does not depend on the current price for power, which fluctuates due to a variety of factors and may be lower or higher than anticipated. As part of Riot's participation in this voluntary program, the Company can achieve substantial savings on future costs, and participation is a key part of the Company's partnership-driven approach with the grid and all consumers of power in ERCOT.
Infrastructure Update
Riot is currently developing Phase 1 (400 MW) of the Company's Corsicana Facility, which, once fully developed, is expected to total 1 gigawatt (1,000 MW) in developed mining capacity.
Riot continued development of the third 100 MW building, Building B1, and began deploying miners within the building. Building B1 will be fully operational in the month of September. Development has continued on the final 100 MW building in Phase 1, Building B2, and miner deployment will begin during the month of September.
