Riot Platforms (NASDAQ: RIOT) books $167M revenue and $500M Q1 loss
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Riot Platforms, Inc. reported first-quarter 2026 results showing total revenue of $167.2 million, modestly above the prior year’s $161.4 million, driven by new Data Center activity and growth in Engineering. Bitcoin Mining revenue declined to $111.9 million from $142.9 million as market conditions and network economics shifted.
The company recorded a net loss of $500.5 million, wider than the $296.4 million loss a year earlier, largely due to a $326.7 million negative change in the fair value of bitcoin and a $51.9 million loss on derivatives. Core operating costs also rose, with depreciation and amortization climbing to $97.7 million and selling, general, and administrative expenses reaching $76.2 million.
Riot is evolving into a broader digital infrastructure provider. Data Center revenue reached $33.2 million in the quarter, primarily from tenant fit-out services and lease income under a long-term agreement with AMD at the Rockdale facility. The lease initially covers 25 MW of critical IT load, with options and amendments that could expand AMD’s capacity up to 200 MW over time.

Insights
Riot’s quarter shows heavy non-cash losses but emerging strength in data center leasing.
Riot generated $167.2M in Q1 2026 revenue, with Bitcoin Mining still the largest contributor at $111.9M. The new Data Center segment added $33.2M, mainly from AMD-related tenant fit-out services and lease activity, while Engineering revenue increased to $22.2M.
The company reported a net loss of $500.5M, heavily influenced by a $326.7M fair value decline in bitcoin and a $51.9M loss on derivatives. These non-cash remeasurements, tied to bitcoin prices and power contracts, materially affect reported earnings but do not reflect cash operating performance alone.
Liquidity remains notable, with $205.7M in cash and cash equivalents and bitcoin holdings totaling $1.07B at fair value as of March 31, 2026. The AMD lease supports a recurring Data Center revenue base, with undiscounted minimum lease payments of $310.0M scheduled over the term, highlighting Riot’s strategic shift toward diversified, power-intensive compute infrastructure alongside its Bitcoin Mining operations.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “PSLRA”). The Company may also make forward-looking statements in other reports and documents filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including those that are incorporated by reference herein. All statements in this Quarterly Report and the documents incorporated by reference herein, other than statements of historical fact, are “forward-looking statements” within the scope of this cautionary note, including, but not limited to statements concerning: our plans, strategies and objectives for future operations, including the Company’s strategic evolution from a bitcoin mining-focused enterprise to a diversified data center and digital infrastructure company; the integration of new equipment, systems, technologies, services or developments; the development, construction, and commissioning of the Company’s power capacity for large-scale data center purposes, including artificial intelligence (“AI”) and high-performance computing (“HPC”) uses; the deployment of industrial-scale immersion-cooled bitcoin mining hardware at our Bitcoin Mining facilities in Kentucky and Texas; the anticipated demand for large-scale data centers and specialized compute infrastructure; forecasted delivery timelines for power, cooling, and networking infrastructure; future economic conditions, performance, or outlooks; future political and regulatory conditions; the outcome of contingencies; potential acquisitions or divestitures of digital infrastructure assets; the number and value of bitcoin rewards and transaction fees we earn from our Bitcoin Mining operations; future self-mining hash rate capacity; timing of receipt and deployment of miners; expected cash flows or capital expenditures related to data center build-outs; our beliefs or expectations; activities, events or developments that we intend, expect, project, believe, or anticipate will or may occur in the future; and assumptions underlying or based upon any of the foregoing. Forward-looking statements may be identified by their use of forward-looking terminology, such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “projects,” and similar words or expressions; however, forward-looking statements may be made without such terminology.
Such forward-looking statements reflect our management’s current opinions, expectations, beliefs, and assumptions regarding future events based on information available as of the date made. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, both identified and unidentified by management, which may prevent anticipated results from materializing or prove to be inaccurate. Such risk factors are described in greater detail under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report and in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (“2025 Annual Report”), as well as under similar headings in subsequent filings we may make with the SEC. Management cannot predict all risks, their potential impact on our business, or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors may cause our actual results to differ from any forward-looking statements we may make. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which represent management’s views only as of the date the statements are made and do not guarantee future performance or results. Should any risks or uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, stockholders’ equity, cash flows, and the market price of our securities.
Accordingly, you should read this Quarterly Report and the other filings we make with the SEC, in their entirety, recognizing that our future results may differ materially from our historical results and from the results expressed in or implied by forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report and other reports and the documents incorporated by reference herein speak only as of the date they are made and, unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws, we disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements and are made in reliance on the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the PSLRA.
As used throughout this Quarterly Report, the term “Bitcoin” with a capital “B” is used to denote the Bitcoin protocol, which implements a highly available, public, permanent, and decentralized ledger. The term “bitcoin” with a lower case “b” is used to denote the coin, bitcoin.

Note 1. Organization and Description of Business
Riot Platforms, Inc. is a vertically integrated digital infrastructure company principally engaged in developing and optimizing its large-scale power assets. The Company’s business strategy centers on enhancing its electrical infrastructure and deploying it across complementary platforms: (i) bitcoin mining and (ii) scalable data center solutions designed to support non-mining workloads. By leveraging its energy portfolio, engineering capabilities, and operational footprint, the Company aims to capitalize on both the long-term potential of bitcoin and the accelerating demand for power-intensive compute.
The Company owns and manages multiple large-scale data center facilities in Texas and Kentucky. The Company provides mission-critical power and infrastructure for Bitcoin Mining at its facilities in Rockdale, Texas (the “Rockdale Facility”), Navarro County, Texas (the “Corsicana Facility”), and its
In 2025, the Company began leveraging its core competencies in power optimization, strategic land acquisition, engineering design, and construction execution to actively pursue opportunities to develop and monetize portions of its existing facilities and power pipeline through the provision of data center leasing services. In January 2026, the Company and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (“AMD”) entered into a long-term data center lease agreement (the “AMD Lease”) at the Rockdale Facility for an initial deployment of

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) and these notes (“Notes”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of such interim results. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts are stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, except for: share, per share, megawatt hours (“MWh”) and miner quantities; bitcoin quantities, prices, and hash rate; cost to mine one bitcoin; and production value of one bitcoin mined.
The results in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and these Notes include required estimates and assumptions of management, and they are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026, or for any future interim period. Further, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and these Notes do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for a complete presentation of annual financial statements. As such, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and these Notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, and notes thereto, included in the 2025 Annual Report.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheets, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements include revenue recognition; valuation of the derivatives classified under Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy; determination of the useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets; impairment analysis of fixed assets and finite-lived intangibles; impairment analysis of

goodwill; allocating the fair value of purchase consideration to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business acquisitions; stock-based compensation; and the valuation allowance associated with the Company’s deferred tax assets.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
Significant Accounting Policies
Except for the updates noted below, see the Company’s 2025 Annual Report for a detailed discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies.
Revenue Recognition
Data Center Revenue
The Company generates revenue from its Data Center operations by leasing certain of its property and power access to tenants. Those leases include lease and non-lease components. The Company elected the practical expedient under ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) to combine lease components and non-lease components, including provisioning of power, with the same transfer pattern as lease components. If the lease components are predominant and the underlying leases qualify as operating leases, the combined component is accounted for under ASC 842 as lease revenue. Recognition begins when the asset is available for customer use. The Company classifies its leases as operating, sales-type, or direct financing at lease commencement, which determines the pattern of revenue recognition and the presentation of lease-related activity in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations over the lease term.
The Company provides tenant fit-out services, including the procurement and installation of equipment, in accordance with the terms of the respective lease agreements. Tenants are required to reimburse the Company for all costs incurred in the provision of these services. Tenant fit-out services do not have the same transfer pattern as the lease components and are therefore subject to recognition under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Tenant fit-out reimbursement revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, calculated by dividing the total costs incurred by total costs expected to be incurred, which the Company believes to be the most accurate measure of progress toward the satisfaction of the performance obligation.
Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections result in accounts receivables, contract assets, and contract liabilities. A receivable is recorded at the invoice amount, net of an allowance for credit losses, in the period in which products or services are provided and when the right to consideration is unconditional. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined that its contracts do not include a significant financing component. The Company assesses collectability based on several factors, including its past transaction history with the customer and the creditworthiness of the customer.
Any amounts that were previously recognized as revenue and subsequently determined to be uncollectible are charged to bad debt expense.
A contract asset exists when products or provided services have been transferred to customers but payment is conditioned on reasons other than the passage of time, such as upon the satisfaction of additional performance obligations. Revenue is recognized over the contract term, which could potentially give rise to contract assets during certain periods.
A contract liability is recognized when the Company has an unconditional right to a payment before it transfers the products or services to customers.

Change in Reportable Segments
As of December 31, 2025, the Company operated in
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s execution of a significant data center lease with AMD resulted in material Data Center revenue and the commencement of discrete financial performance analysis by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). Accordingly, the Company’s data center operations now meet the quantitative and qualitative requirements to be recognized as a separate reportable segment.
Prior to 2024, the Company had a legacy Data Center Hosting bitcoin mining segment as a separate operating and reportable segment but has since terminated all contracts with its legacy Data Center Hosting bitcoin mining customers. Commencing in the three months ended March 31, 2024, the CODM ceased analyzing the performance of the Data Center Hosting operations and the Company ceased reporting Data Center Hosting as a separate reportable business segment. Residual activity of the legacy Data Center Hosting bitcoin mining segment is included in Revenue: Other revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company has no plans to offer data center hosting bitcoin mining services to new customers. The Company’s new Data Center operating segment is not a recommencing of the legacy Data Center Hosting bitcoin mining operations because the new Data Center operating segment offers different services and has different processes, customer types, and economic characteristics from the legacy Data Center Hosting bitcoin mining segment.
See Note 18. Segment Information for further discussion of the Company’s reportable segments.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company continually assesses new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequences of such change to its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and ensures that there are proper controls in place to ensure that the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements properly reflect the change.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires, in the notes to the annual and interim financial statements, disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the updated guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.
Note 3. Data Center Operations
In 2025, the Company began leveraging its core competencies in power optimization, strategic land acquisition, engineering design, and construction execution to actively pursue opportunities to develop and monetize portions of its existing facilities and power pipeline through the provision of data center leasing services.
AMD Lease

Note 8. Power Supply Agreements
Rockdale Facility
Power Purchase Agreement
In May 2020, the Company’s subsidiary, Whinstone entered into a long-term power purchase agreement (the “Rockdale PPA”) to provide power at fixed prices to the Rockdale Facility, via the nearby Sandow Switch. Pursuant to the Rockdale PPA, the Company agreed to acquire a total of
Under the Rockdale PPA, the Company may also elect not to utilize its long-term, fixed-price power for its operations, and instead elect to sell that power in exchange for credits against future power costs when there is a benefit to the Company, depending on the spot market price of electricity. The Company’s power strategy combines participation in Demand Response Service Programs, as defined below, participation in ERCOT’s Four Coincident Peak program (the “4CP Program”), and sales of power, to attempt to manage operating costs most efficiently.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company earned credits against future power costs in exchange for power resold of approximately $
The Company determined the Rockdale PPA meets the definition of a derivative because it allows for net settlement. However, because the Company has the ability to offer the power back for sale outside of the Rockdale PPA, rather than taking physical delivery, the Company determined that physical delivery is not probable through the entirety of the contract and therefore, the Company does not believe the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception applies to the Rockdale PPA. Accordingly, the
13

Riot Platforms, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Rockdale PPA (a non-hedging derivative contract) is accounted for as a derivative and recorded at its estimated fair value, with the change in the fair value recorded in Change in fair value of derivatives on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Rockdale PPA is not designated as a hedging instrument. The Demand Response Service Programs (as defined below), and the 4CP Program are not part of the Rockdale PPA and are therefore not subject to treatment and valuation as a derivative along with the Rockdale PPA.
The terms of the Rockdale PPA require margin-based collateral, calculated as exposure resulting from fluctuations in the market rate of electricity relative to the fixed price stated in the contract. As of March 31, 2026, the margin-based collateral requirement was
While the Company manages operating costs at the Rockdale Facility in part by periodically selling back unused or uneconomic power, the Company does not consider such actions to be trading activities.
Demand Response Service Programs
ERCOT has implemented demand response service programs for customers, such as the Company, that have the ability to reduce or modify electricity use in response to ERCOT instructions or signals (“Demand Response Service Programs”). These Demand Response Service Programs provide the ERCOT market with valuable grid stability and economic services by helping to preserve system reliability, enhancing competition and load predictability, mitigating price spikes, and stabilizing the grid by encouraging the demand side of the market to give more visibility and control of their power consumption to grid operators. Market participants with flexible electrical loads, like the Company, may participate in these Demand Response Service Programs directly by offering their electrical loads into the ERCOT markets, or indirectly by voluntarily reducing their energy usage in response to increasing power demand in the ERCOT marketplace. The Demand Response Service Programs run concurrently with the Rockdale PPA.
Under these Demand Response Service Programs, the Company can participate in various ancillary services by designating a portion of its available electrical load for forward market bidding. Participation in the Demand Response Service Programs is compensated based on hourly power rates and the volume of load bid into each program. Through ancillary services, the Company competitively bids among other market participants to sell ERCOT the ability to control the Company’s electrical load on demand. This requires the Company to remain powered on during the times in which its power is bid into ancillary services, allowing ERCOT the ability to direct the Company to power down the amount of power bid into the program. The Company receives compensation for its participation in ancillary services whether or not the Company is actually called to power down.
The Company also participates in the 4CP Program, which refers to the highest-load settlement intervals in each of the four summer months (June, July, August, and September), during which demand for power is typically at its highest across the ERCOT grid. The 4CP Program participants may voluntarily power down operations during these times and in doing so, reduce the electrical load demand on the ERCOT grid. Participants that reduce their load during these peak periods receive credits toward transmission costs on future power bills, reducing overall power costs for the subsequent year. The 4CP Program has an indefinite duration.
Corsicana Facility
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company’s subsidiary, Riot Corsicana, LLC, entered into an agreement with ICE Futures U.S., Inc., a subsidiary of InterContinental Exchange, Inc., to access the exchange for the execution of electricity futures contracts. The Company intends to enter into electricity futures contracts up to the amount of power used at the Corsicana Facility. These financial instruments meet the definition of derivatives, but are not designated as hedging instruments, and will be recognized at fair value, with any gains or losses recognized in Net income (loss) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company enters into electricity futures contracts to manage electricity price risks and reduce the variability of cash flows associated with purchases of electricity used for the Company’s Bitcoin Mining operations at its Corsicana Facility.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company held outstanding electricity futures contracts for

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company’s subsidiary, Riot Corsicana, LLC, also entered into a requirements contract with MEMS Industrial Supply (“MEMSIS”) under which it will purchase retail power to meet the consumption requirements of the Corsicana Facility. Electric power will be invoiced by MEMSIS based on the market price for electric power at the ERCOT North Load Zone, plus a retail adder corresponding to the peak consumption threshold of the Corsicana Facility, and pass-through charges (including ancillary charges, taxes, congestion, and line loss), based on the actual variable consumption of the Corsicana Facility. The contract, dated November 12, 2024, has a 3-year term ending November 25, 2027. Although this contract does not require the supply of power at a fixed price, it allows the parties to enter into fixed-price contracts.
Under the requirements contract with MEMSIS, during the year ended December 31, 2024, Riot and MEMSIS entered into a power purchase agreement (the “Corsicana PPA”), a three-year contract (January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2027, but excluding July and August contracts during the period) for a fixed quantity of
The Company determined the Corsicana PPA meets the definition of a derivative and, accordingly, the Corsicana PPA (a non-hedging derivative contract) is recorded at its estimated fair value each reporting period on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with the change in the fair value recorded in Change in fair value of derivative asset on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Corsicana PPA is not designated as a hedging instrument.
Kentucky Facility
In April 2021, the Company’s subsidiary, Block Mining, Inc. (“Block Mining”), entered into a long-term power purchase agreement, and subsequent amendments to the long-term power purchase agreement, (the “Kentucky PPA”) to provide power to one of its locations in Kentucky. Pursuant to the Kentucky PPA, the Company has the ability, but not the obligation, to acquire up to a total of
Under the Kentucky PPA, the Company may elect not to utilize its long-term, fixed-price power for its operations, and instead elect to sell that power back into the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (“MISO”) grid in exchange for credits against future power costs when there is a benefit to the Company, depending on the spot market price of electricity. The Company’s power strategy combines participation in Demand Response Service Programs and sales of power, to attempt to manage operating costs efficiently.

Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
In addition to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company also measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The Company’s non-financial assets, including goodwill, intangible assets, operating lease right-of-use assets, and property and equipment, are measured at fair value when there is an indication of impairment and the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s projected undiscounted cash flows. These assets are recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, contract assets, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, contract liabilities, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Legal Proceedings
The Company, and our subsidiaries, are subject at times to various claims, lawsuits and governmental proceedings relating to our business and transactions arising in the ordinary course of business. We cannot predict the final outcome of such proceedings. Where appropriate, we vigorously defend such claims, lawsuits, and proceedings. Some of these claims, lawsuits and proceedings seek damages, including direct, consequential, exemplary, and/or punitive damages, in amounts that could, if awarded, be significant. Certain of the claims, lawsuits and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business are covered by our insurance program. We maintain property and various types of liability insurance in an effort to protect ourselves from such claims. In terms of any matters where there is no insurance coverage available to us, or where coverage is available and we maintain a retention or deductible associated with such insurance, we may establish an accrual for such loss, retention or deductible based on current available information. In accordance with accounting guidance, if it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred as of the date of the financial statements, and the amount of loss is reasonably estimable, then an accrual for the cost to resolve or settle these claims is recorded by us on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. If it is reasonably possible that an asset may be impaired as of the date of the financial statements, then we disclose the range of possible loss. Costs related to the defense of such claims are recorded by us as they are incurred. Management, with the assistance of outside counsel, may from time to time adjust such accruals according to new developments in the matter, court rulings, or changes in the strategy affecting our defense of such matters. On the basis of current information, we do not believe there is a reasonable possibility that any material loss, if any, will result from any claims, lawsuits and proceedings to which we are subject, either individually, or in the aggregate.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) provides information to assist readers in understanding our results of operations and financial condition. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Unless otherwise indicated, amounts are stated in thousands of U.S. dollars except for: share, per share, per MWh and miner amounts; bitcoin quantities, prices, and hash rate; cost to mine one bitcoin; and production value of one bitcoin mined.
Our MD&A is primarily organized as follows:
| ● | Business Overview and Trends. Highlights of events that impacted our financial position and results of operations. |
| ● | Results of Operations. Analysis of our financial results comparing the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. |
| ● | Liquidity and Capital Resources. Analysis of changes in our balance sheets and cash flows and discussion of our financial condition, including potential sources of liquidity, material cash requirements, and their general purpose. |
| ● | Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates. Accounting policies and estimates that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments underlying our reported financial results. |
Forward-Looking Statements
This MD&A includes forward-looking statements based on current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” for a discussion of factors that may cause actual results to differ materially – and potentially adversely – from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Business Overview and Trends
General
We are a vertically integrated digital infrastructure company principally engaged in developing and optimizing our large-scale power assets. Our business strategy centers on enhancing our electrical infrastructure and deploying it across two complementary platforms: (i) bitcoin mining and (ii) scalable data center solutions designed to support non-mining workloads. By leveraging our energy portfolio, engineering capabilities, and operational footprint, we aim to capitalize on both the long-term potential of bitcoin and the accelerating demand for power-intensive compute.
We operate in three reportable business segments: Bitcoin Mining, Data Center, and Engineering.
We own and manage multiple large-scale data center facilities in Texas and Kentucky that provide mission-critical power and infrastructure for our Bitcoin Mining at our Facilities, and non-mining Data Center operations at our Rockdale Facility. Our Rockdale Facility in Texas currently provides up to approximately 700 MW of developed capacity for Bitcoin Mining and Data Center leasing and is among the largest digital infrastructure campuses in North America, as measured by developed capacity. We have completed construction of approximately 400 MW of developed capacity at our second large-scale Texas development, the Corsicana Facility. We expect the Corsicana Facility to reach approximately 1 GW of developed capacity available for Bitcoin Mining and other high-density compute workloads upon full build-out.
Our industry remains highly competitive and continues to evolve alongside broader growth in digital assets and high-performance compute. With our scale, integrated power strategy, and engineering foundation, we believe we are well positioned to participate in the rapidly converging markets for Bitcoin Mining, AI, HPC, and modern data center infrastructure.
31
Table of Contents
Data Center Development
In 2025, we began leveraging our core competencies in power optimization, strategic land acquisition, engineering design, and construction execution to pursue opportunities to develop and monetize portions of our existing facilities and power pipeline through data center leasing services. We strengthened our execution capacity by recruiting critical talent and establishing a scalable data center platform to support data center development at the Corsicana Facility. We have completed our basis of design for our standard data center build and have initiated development of our first core & shell at the Corsicana Facility.
In January 2026, we announced the execution of the AMD Lease to provide 25 MW of critical IT load capacity at our Rockdale Facility. The AMD Lease has an initial term of ten years and provides for expansion options for up to an additional 75 MW of critical IT load capacity, as well as a right of first refusal for up to an additional 100 MW. The AMD Lease also provides three successive five-year term renewal options at the lessee’s discretion.
In April 2026, we entered into the AMD Lease Amendment to exercise a portion of the existing expansion option set forth in the AMD Lease, to provide an additional deployment of 25 MW of critical IT load capacity. Under the AMD Lease Amendment, AMD holds a remaining balance of 50 MW of reserved critical IT load capacity under the existing expansion option. The AMD Lease Amendment also grants AMD a conditional, first-priority right to lease up to an additional 100 MW of critical IT load capacity, exercisable in increments of not less than 50 MW. If both the remaining 50 MW of reserved capacity under the existing expansion option and the additional 100 MW option are fully exercised, AMD’s total leased capacity at the Rockdale Facility would increase to 200 MW. This conditional, first-priority right replaces the right of first refusal for an additional 100 MW previously granted to AMD in the AMD Lease.
Business Segments
Bitcoin Mining
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we continued to deploy miners across all our Facilities, with the objective of improving our operational efficiency and performance. As of March 31, 2026, we had a total deployed hash rate capacity of 42.5 EH/s, as compared to 38.5 EH/s as of December 31, 2025, an increase of 10.4%.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we mined 1,473 bitcoin, reflecting a decrease of 57 bitcoin compared to the 1,530 bitcoin mined during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to increases in the global network hash rate, partially offset by our increase in deployed hash rate and significantly improved operational efficiency. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, Bitcoin Mining revenue was $111.9 million and $142.9 million, respectively. The decrease of $31.0 million was primarily due to lower bitcoin prices during the 2026 period, which averaged $68,223 per bitcoin, as compared to $82,535 per bitcoin for the 2025 period, and a slight decrease in bitcoin production of 3.7% due to the substantial increase in the global network hash rate. These decreases were partially offset by a 22.6% increase in our average operating hash rate, which increased from 29.7 EH/s during the three months ended March 31, 2025 to 36.4 EH/s during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Custodians
As bitcoin is a decentralized digital asset, we are not required to use a third-party custodian and may elect to self-custody our holdings. However, we believe that our private keys associated with our bitcoin are better safeguarded within the secure environment provided by custodians. Self-custody poses an increased risk to our private keys, and we may not have the same level of protection as that offered by custody providers who are well-versed in industry best practices for safeguarding digital assets from potential theft, loss, or destruction.
Our bitcoin custodian and brokerage services relationships are non-exclusive, and we may change our custodian and brokerage relationships at any time. We continually monitor our bitcoin assets held by our custodians. Our insurance providers do not have inspection rights associated with our bitcoin assets held in cold storage. For additional information regarding our relationships with our custodians, NYDIG Trust Company LLC and Coinbase, Inc., on behalf of itself and Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC, and, if applicable, Coinbase or Coinbase Custody International Ltd., and a description of our underlying agreements with them, see Part I, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our 2025 Annual Report.

| (1) | Hash rate, deployed, represents the total potential hash rate of all our deployed miners as of the end of the period, whereas hash rate, average operating, represents the average total hash rate our deployed miners provided throughout the period. The difference between deployed hash rate and operating hash rate is attributable to down time of all or some of our miners for power curtailments, or repairs and maintenance of bitcoin miners or supporting infrastructure. The difference between deployed and operating hash rate is a key measure in determining the efficiency of our Bitcoin Mining operations. |
| (2) | All-in power cost is the price we paid throughout the period for our power, net of power curtailments received. Power is overwhelmingly the largest marginal input cost in mining bitcoin and a significant contributor to profitability. Miners with a low cost of power are also able to profitably mine in a wider range of bitcoin prices. |
| (3) | Developed power is the total amount of electricity our Facilities can utilize as of the end of the period. |

| (2) | During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we paid cash of $23.5 million and $21.0 million, respectively, in total deposits and payments for the purchase of miners. Costs to finance the purchase of miners were zero in all periods presented as the miners were paid for with cash from the Company’s cash balance. The seller did not provide any financing nor did the Company borrow from a third-party to purchase the miners. |
| (3) | Power curtailment credits are credited against our power invoices as a result of temporarily pausing our operations to participate in ERCOT’s Demand Response Service Programs. Our fixed-price power purchase contracts enable us to strategically curtail our mining operations and participate in these programs, which significantly lower our cost to mine bitcoin. These credits are recognized in Power curtailment credits on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, outside of cost of revenue, but significantly reduce our overall cost to mine bitcoin. |
| (4) | We capitalize the acquisition cost of our miners and include these costs in Property and equipment, net on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The miners are depreciated over an estimated useful life of three years, during which time, they are expected to contribute to the generation of bitcoin revenue. We do not consider depreciation expense in determining whether it is economical to operate our miners because depreciation is a non-cash expense and is not a variable operating cost that can be avoided even if we curtail operations temporarily. Depreciation expense incurred is disclosed for each respective period in the table above. |

These purchase orders represented a total hash rate of 49.2 EH/s, with a total purchase price of approximately $779.5 million, subject to downward price adjustments as provided by the Master Agreement. These miners are primarily intended for deployment at the Corsicana Facility, which commenced operations in April 2024. Delivery of these miners began in 2023, and all miners under these purchase orders are expected to be received by the second quarter of 2026, with deployment following on an ongoing basis. The Master Agreement provided us with four additional annual options to purchase miners, on the same or more favorable terms as the second purchase order executed under the Master Agreement.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Bitcoin Mining revenue was approximately $111.9 million.

Data Center
Our Data Center business designs, develops and operates large-scale data center projects designed to support the growing demand for high-density compute. This includes the lease of data center space and power capacity, which is generally paid monthly. Power costs are passed through to customers at cost. Additionally, we provide tenant fit-out services to our customers for the build-out of customer-specific equipment at cost plus a margin.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Data Center revenue was approximately $33.2 million, reflecting initial leasing activity and associated tenant fit-out, through the AMD Lease.
Engineering
Our Engineering business designs and manufactures power-distribution equipment and engineered-to-order electrical products. These products support our vertical integration strategy by enabling the internal development of critical electrical equipment and
35
Table of Contents
engineering services necessary for developments at our Facilities. This integration helps mitigate execution and counterparty risk in ongoing and future expansion projects. The specialized talent employed in our Engineering business allows us to explore new methods to optimize and develop best-in-class Bitcoin Mining operations and has been instrumental in the development of our industrial-scale immersion-cooled Bitcoin Mining hardware. The vertical integration of our Engineering division gives us additional strength and security in developing and deploying our Data Center build-outs. Our Data Center business is able to leverage Engineering’s market specific expertise for best-in-class design as well as speed to market.
Our Engineering business also provides electrical distribution product design, manufacturing, and installation services primarily focused on large-scale industrial and governmental customers and serves a broad scope of clients across a wide range of markets including data center, power generation, utility, water, industrial, and alternative energy.
Engineering revenue is primarily derived from the sale of custom products built to customers’ specifications under fixed-price contracts with one identified performance obligation. Engineering revenue is recognized over time as performance creates or enhances an asset with no alternative use, and for which we have an enforceable right to receive compensation as defined under the contract.
In December 2024, we completed the E4A Solutions Acquisition. This acquisition strengthens our vertically integrated strategy by adding engineering expertise to service our existing and future electrical infrastructure as well as providing solutions and services to the rapidly growing market for electrical infrastructure.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Engineering revenue was approximately $22.2 million.
Strategic Goals and Initiatives
Bitcoin Treasury Strategy
Our investment strategy with respect to our bitcoin (“Bitcoin Treasury Strategy”) is designed to balance long-term value appreciation with operational flexibility and liquidity management. We selectively sell or leverage portions of our bitcoin holdings, and may continue to do so in the future, to fund operational needs, capital expenditures, and strategic initiatives, particularly when market conditions present opportunistic pricing above predetermined thresholds that we believe maximize shareholder value.
This approach enables us to realize value from our bitcoin holdings at favorable market conditions to support our liquidity profile and fund business growth. We believe this strategy enhances our operational stability, supports our liquidity profile, and provides the financial flexibility necessary to execute on our business plan and meet our capital allocation objectives.
Power Strategy
Long-term power contracts form the foundation of our power strategy. We utilize the Rockdale PPA, Corsicana PPA, and Kentucky PPA (together, the “PPAs”) at our Facilities in the following ways:
Manual Curtailment
We power down operations and return power to the utility when prevailing market electricity prices offer the potential for us to realize power curtailment credits in excess of the Bitcoin Mining revenues we would have otherwise generated. We receive power credits for the difference in the market power price and our fixed power price. By capturing the spread between market power prices and our fixed-rate power contracts, we are able to maximize our overall profitability while supporting grid stability by reducing demand for power during periods of peak scarcity.
Ancillary Services
We competitively bid to sell ERCOT and MISO the option to control our electrical load during certain hours. ERCOT and MISO compensate us in the form of Demand Response Service Programs’ Credits, which are received whether or not we are called on to power down.

Table of Contents
ERCOT’s 4CP Program
At the Rockdale Facility and the Corsicana Facility, we participate in ERCOT’s 4CP Program by voluntarily powering down operations during times of peak demand in summer months. Participation in this program provides substantial savings on transmission costs in the subsequent year’s power bills and contributes to reduced overall power costs.

Challenges, Risks, and Industry Trends
Increased Competition and Global Network Hash Rate
The price of bitcoin reached new all-time highs in 2025, supported by continued institutional investment in the Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), global adoption, and increased interest from both retail and sovereign investors, but fell in the first quarter of 2026 to prices last seen in 2024. Bitcoin spot ETFs remained a primary driver of institutional demand, with total assets under management exceeding $85 billion as of March 31, 2026. These ETFs, as investment vehicles, provide investors with a broader way to gain exposure to bitcoin through more traditional financial markets. In March 2025, the United States established the United States Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, which currently holds the largest bitcoin reserve in the world, solidifying bitcoin as a mainstream financial asset and alternative source of value to fiat currency.
During 2023 and 2024, the bitcoin mining industry experienced record growth as the price of bitcoin increased from the lows experienced in early 2023. In 2025 and the first quarter of 2026, the industry continued to grow, though at a slower pace due to increased network difficulty during 2025 and more aggressive competition for efficient energy sources globally. The rising bitcoin price renewed opportunities to access capital markets to fund growth, leading to unprecedented expansion in mining operations, which resulted in a doubling of the size of provisioned hash calculation services on the network, as measured by total hash rate. Competition among mining companies continued to intensify in 2025, with top operators focusing on mergers, acquisitions, and direct power procurement contracts to secure stable energy pricing in the face of volatile market conditions.
We have observed that when the market price for bitcoin experiences sustained increases, new miners are introduced onto the bitcoin network, contributing to an increase in the global network hash rate. Our hash rate grew by approximately 10.4% from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026, though the number of bitcoin we mined during the same period decreased slightly as a result of the increase in the global network hash rate as compared to the same period in 2025.
Accordingly, as the global network hash rate continues to rise, miners must scale their operations to maintain or improve their share of mining rewards. In response, we have made investments in electricity supply and distribution infrastructure and are focused on other strategic growth opportunities that enhance our long-term competitiveness. Further, we have adopted new and improved technology to increase both our mining power and efficiency, including our industrial-scale adoption of immersion cooling and our strategic acquisitions of large quantities of the latest powerful and efficient miners available.
Bitcoin Mining Industry Consolidation and Emergence of Data Center Alternative
The bitcoin mining industry is undergoing significant structural transformation. A combination of factors, including the 2024 halving event, record high network hash rates in 2025, rising mining difficulties, and constrained access to large-scale power resources, has led to increased consolidation across the industry. These dynamics have made efficient, large-scale mining operations increasingly capital-intensive and have prompted miners to seek new avenues for maximizing the value of their existing infrastructure. A notable emerging trend is the convergence of bitcoin mining operations with large-scale data center services, including those supporting AI/HPC workloads. As demand for data center infrastructure accelerates, driven by advances in machine learning, generative AI, and compute-intensive enterprise applications, access to reliable, low-cost power has become a critical constraint on the development of new data centers. Bitcoin mining companies that own and operate their facilities are increasingly repurposing or reallocating portions of their power and physical infrastructure to support data center applications. This shift is enabled by the similarities between the underlying facility requirements for Bitcoin Mining and Data Center workloads, including large electrical loads, advanced cooling systems, and high-density rack deployments.
As a result, the industry is experiencing an evolution in which mining operators with robust power portfolios are leveraging their existing assets to participate in the rapidly growing market for data center services. This trend reflects both the challenges facing the Bitcoin mining sector and the significant economic opportunities presented by the global expansion of compute-intensive digital infrastructure.
Volatile Transaction Fees
The bitcoin mining industry recently experienced an increase in transaction fees on the bitcoin network, alongside growing overall demand for bitcoin. While transaction fees remain inherently volatile, they are paid directly to miners and are representative of the
38
Table of Contents
public interest in transacting on the bitcoin network. These transaction fees, combined with the block subsidy issued by the bitcoin network, make up the total reward paid to miners upon solving a block.
Vertical Integration
Since 2021, we have focused on a vertically integrated business model. We remain committed to building long-term stockholder value by taking strategic actions to further vertically integrate our business at the current Rockdale Facility, developing the Corsicana Facility, expanding the Kentucky Facility, and integrating our acquisitions, including the Kentucky Facility and E4A Solutions. Management believes that vertical integration will strengthen each of our business segments by providing increased capacity for our Bitcoin Mining operations, expanding opportunities for implementing our proprietary power strategy, and positioning us to capitalize on supply chain efficiencies and electrical engineering services through our Engineering segment. We continue to focus on deploying our efficient Bitcoin Mining fleet, at scale, while realizing the benefits of being an owner and operator of our Bitcoin Mining facilities.
Prior to the 2024 halving event, shifts in strategy by prominent bitcoin miners focused on implementing vertically-integrated business models by investing in infrastructure, and upgrading and expanding fleets at their own facilities rather than renting out space from a third-party data center. Vertical integration provides additional control over operational outcomes as well as better management of any input costs such as power and overhead fees. Flexibility, and the ability to manage expenses, becomes increasingly important as the amount of competition on the bitcoin network expands and the subsidy in bitcoin provided by the network contracts decreases.
We anticipate the bitcoin network will continue to see increased competition and consolidation in the bitcoin mining industry. Further, given our relative position and liquidity, we believe we are well positioned to benefit from such consolidation. We are continuously evaluating opportunities which we may decide to undertake as part of our strategic growth initiatives; however, we can offer no assurances that any strategic opportunities which we decide to undertake will be achieved on the schedule or within the budget we anticipate, if at all, and our business and financial results may change significantly as a result of such strategic growth.
Grid Curtailment
The Public Utility Commission of Texas, ERCOT, and Oncor Electric Delivery Company (“Oncor”) collectively oversee the regulatory, administrative, and delivery aspects of our power supply in Texas. In Kentucky, MISO oversees our power supply. As the bitcoin mining industry has expanded in recent years, regulatory scrutiny on bitcoin mining facilities and their energy consumption has intensified accordingly.
As Texas’s grid operator, ERCOT is responsible for monitoring and testing market participants, including our Bitcoin Mining facilities at the Rockdale Facility and the Corsicana Facility, to evaluate their impact on grid reliability. As part of this process, ERCOT may issue curtailment notices to reduce the power usage at our Texas operations. Our Facilities in Texas are subject to periodic testing and monitoring and have experienced power curtailments in response to instructions we receive from Oncor and ERCOT. Given the inherent uncertainty regarding the duration or extent of power curtailments and testing procedures, we are currently unable to reasonably estimate their potential impact on our operations. If we cannot secure adequate access to electrical power, we may be forced to reduce or shut down our operations, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results.
Data Center Scrutiny and Regulation
Driven by the proliferation of energy-intensive applications such as bitcoin mining and HPC, demand for energy capacity continues to outpace supply. Data centers are increasingly scrutinized by federal, state, and local authorities due to concerns regarding energy consumption, land use, carbon emissions, water usage, environmental impacts, data-sovereignty considerations, and national-security-related issues. Regulators may impose new permitting requirements, energy-efficiency standards, carbon-reduction mandates, sustainability reporting rules, or operational restrictions specific to data centers, AI infrastructure, or high-density compute environments. Such regulations, particularly at the federal level or in the States of Texas and Kentucky, where our Facilities operate, could increase our capital expenditures, delay development timelines, limit expansion opportunities, or require costly modifications to existing infrastructure.
Tax abatement programs that have historically supported development, and specifically, data center development, are subject to increasing scrutiny as residents and policymakers reassess the associated economic benefits to their communities relative to perceived impacts on energy demand, utility costs, and natural resource consumption. In response, certain jurisdictions are becoming
39
Table of Contents
more selective in offering incentives or eliminating them altogether. Certain jurisdictions have implemented, or are considering implementing, temporary moratoriums or other restrictions on new data center development due to these concerns.
See Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the 2025 Annual Report for additional discussion regarding potential impacts that our competitive and evolving industry may have on our business.
Recent Events Affecting the Company
Global supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures have, at times, resulted in delays to our miner delivery schedules, infrastructure development timelines, and the manufacturing and delivery schedules within our Engineering segment. These delays are primarily driven by constraints in the globalized supply chains for miners, specialized electrical distribution equipment, and construction materials. While we have effectively mitigated these delays, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in mitigating such disruptions in the future.
The development and expansion of our Facilities require significant quantities of critical components that are currently in high demand and may be difficult to source. To mitigate the risks associated with supply chain volatility, increasing demand, and uncertainty arising from U.S. tariffs and retaliatory international tariffs, we have proactively procured and currently maintain a supply of essential electrical infrastructure components and construction materials. These strategic reserves are intended to support the expansion and data center development of the Corsicana and Rockdale Facilities, the expansion of our Kentucky Facilities, and the maintenance of our existing systems, and to reduce our exposure to potential inflationary pricing and equipment delivery delays.
We sell our bitcoin to fund operations. Subsequent to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, we have experienced an impact from the recent volatility and downward trend in the market price of Bitcoin reducing the purchasing power of our bitcoin holdings. This decline may necessitate the sale of a greater volume of our bitcoin than previously anticipated to generate the liquidity required to fund our ongoing operations and working capital needs. By diversifying our infrastructure to support broader data services, we aim to mitigate our direct exposure to cryptocurrency price fluctuations and establish a more stable, diversified revenue stream centered on digital infrastructure.
Results of Operations
Comparative Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026, and 2025:
Revenue
Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $167.2 million and $161.4 million, respectively. Total revenue consists of our Bitcoin Mining revenue, Data Center revenue, Engineering revenue and Other revenue. Other revenue consists almost entirely of residual activity related to our former Data Center Hosting bitcoin mining operations. See below for explanations of changes in revenue by operating segment.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, Bitcoin Mining revenue was $111.9 million and $142.9 million, respectively. The decrease of $31.0 million was primarily due to lower bitcoin prices in the 2026 period, which averaged $68,223 per bitcoin, as compared to $82,535 per bitcoin for the 2025 period, and a slight decrease in bitcoin production of 3.7% due to the substantial increase in the global network hash rate. These decreases were partially offset by a 22.6% increase in our average operating hash rate, which increased from 29.7 EH/s in the three months ended March 31, 2025 to 36.4 EH/s in the three months ended March 31, 2026.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Data Center revenue was approximately $33.2 million, primarily attributable to initial leasing activity and associated tenant fit-out through the AMD Lease. We recognized our new Data Center operations as a reportable segment in the three months ended March 31, 2026. Accordingly, there were no Data Center revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, Engineering revenue was $22.2 million and $13.9 million, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to the record third-party data center demand for custom electrical equipment. Our custom electrical products are used as important components in data center development and in power generation and distribution facilities. There continues to be significant third-party demand for these products due to the increased interest in data center construction, as well as growing worldwide demand for power.

The increase of approximately $11.9 million was primarily due to increased Bitcoin Mining capacity and power consumption due to the 125 MW of power capacity at the Rockdale Facility that was assumed in the settlement of litigation between the Company and Rhodium Encore LLC in April 2025 and the continued expansion at the Kentucky Facility. The expanded facilities require additional headcount and direct costs necessary to maintain and support our expanded Bitcoin Mining operations. Cost of revenue for Bitcoin Mining excludes depreciation and amortization, which are stated separately on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In 2025, we acquired the Rockdale Facility land that was previously subject to a ground lease. As a result, ground rent was zero in 2026.
Cost of revenue for Engineering for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $18.1 million and $11.8 million, respectively, an increase of approximately $6.3 million. The costs consisted primarily of direct materials and labor, as well as indirect manufacturing costs. Consistent with the causes of increased Engineering revenue noted above, the increase was primarily due to increased receipts of materials resulting in our ability to complete projects.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were $76.2 million and $71.4 million, respectively, an increase of approximately $4.8 million. Selling, general, and administrative expenses consist of stock-based compensation, legal and professional fees, and other personnel and related costs. The increase was primarily due to an $11.8 million increase in compensation expense, including stock-based compensation, as a result of hiring additional employees to support our ongoing growth and data center development. This increase was partially offset by a $5.0 million decrease in legal fees due to recently ending or settling much of our outstanding litigation. Additional decreases were from lower consulting and insurance costs.
Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $97.7 million and $77.9 million, respectively, an increase of approximately $19.8 million. The increase was primarily due to increases in miners deployed.
The change in fair value of bitcoin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were losses of $326.7 million and $208.0 million, respectively, and was recognized to adjust the fair value of our bitcoin held at the end of each period.
The change in fair value of our derivatives for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was a loss of $51.9 million and a gain of $41.9 million, respectively, and was recorded to adjust the fair value of our PPAs, which were classified as derivatives and measured at fair value. The loss incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily attributable to the average of the forward prices utilized in the discounted cash flow estimation models decreasing from $55.7 per MWh as of December 31, 2025 to $49.1 per MWh as of March 31, 2026. The gain recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to the average of the forward prices increasing from $51.98 per MWh as of December 31, 2024 to $55.41 per MWh as of March 31, 2025.
Power curtailment credits for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were $21.0 million and $7.8 million, respectively, and represent sales of unused power under our PPAs and participation in ancillary services under ERCOT and MISO Demand Response Service Programs. The amount of these credits varies from period to period depending on various factors impacting the supply of power to, and the demand for power on, the power grids, such as weather and global fuel costs.

The change in fair value of contingent consideration during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were zero and a gain of $8.3 million, respectively, and were a result of the change in estimates for the potential earnout contingent consideration to the former sellers in the Block Mining Acquisition and the E4A Solutions Acquisition.
Other income (expense)
Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $2.3 million and $3.4 million, respectively, and was earned from interest on cash balances held during the period. The decrease was due to lower cash balances on hand and lower interest rates.
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $2.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively, and was primarily related to interest paid on our revolving lines of credit and letters of credit.
The loss on equity method investment – marketable securities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, of $63.2 million was recognized to adjust the fair value of our equity method investment held at the end of each period. The equity method investment was sold in its entirety during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to financial measures presented under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we consistently evaluate our use of and calculation of non-GAAP financial measures such as “Adjusted EBITDA.” EBITDA is computed as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure defined as EBITDA adjusted to eliminate the effects of certain non-cash and/or non-recurring items that do not reflect our ongoing strategic business operations, which management believes results in a performance measurement that represents a key indicator of our core business operations. The adjustments include fair value adjustments such as derivative power contract adjustments, equity securities fair value changes, and non-cash stock-based compensation expense, in addition to financing and legacy business income and expense items.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA can be an important financial performance measure because it allows management, investors, and our board of directors to evaluate and compare our operating results, including our return on capital and operating efficiencies, from period-to-period by making such adjustments. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is used as a performance metric for share-based compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA is provided in addition to, and should not be considered to be a substitute for, or superior to, net income, the most comparable measure under GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA. Further, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to revenue growth, net income, diluted net income per share or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this financial measure either in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We generate non-cash revenue through mining bitcoin at our Facilities, which we manage based on our Bitcoin Treasury Strategy, while financing operations and other expenses through sales of our bitcoin production, borrowing against our credit facilities, and issuance of common stock under the ATM offering program. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, no shares were sold under the ATM Program. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we issued and sold approximately 5.4 million shares of our common stock under our ATM offering program for aggregate net proceeds (net of commissions and expenses) of $68.4 million.
As of March 31, 2026, we had net working capital of approximately $33.3 million, which included cash and cash equivalents of $205.7 million. We reported a net loss of $500.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, which included $407.1 million in non-cash net losses primarily consisting of the loss from the change in fair value of bitcoin of $326.7 million, depreciation and amortization of $97.7 million, change in the fair values of derivatives of $51.9 million, and stock-based compensation of $39.2 million, partially offset by revenue recognized from bitcoin mined of $111.9 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we sold 3,778 bitcoin for proceeds of approximately $289.5 million. We monitor our balance sheet on an ongoing basis and evaluate the level of bitcoin retained in consideration of our cash requirements for ongoing operations and expansion.
Contractual Commitments and Obligations
As of March 31, 2026, we had a remaining commitment of approximately $4.8 million due to MicroBT for the contractual purchase of miners, which we expect to pay through the second quarter of 2026.
Revenue from Operations
Bitcoin Mining
We expect to generate ongoing revenue from bitcoin rewards in connection with our Bitcoin Mining operations and we will continue to evaluate our ability to liquidate bitcoin rewards at future values to generate cash for operations.
Generating bitcoin rewards which exceed our production and overhead costs is critical to our ability to report profit margins from our Bitcoin Mining operations, although accounting for our reported profitability is increasingly complex. Furthermore, regardless of our ability to generate proceeds from the sale of our bitcoin produced from our Bitcoin Mining business, we may need to raise additional capital in the form of equity or debt to fund our operations and pursue our business strategy.
43
Table of Contents
The ability to raise funds through the sale of equity, debt financings, or the sale of bitcoin to maintain our operations is subject to many risks and uncertainties and any future equity issuances or convertible debt offerings could result in dilution to our existing stockholders and any future debt or debt securities may contain covenants that limit our operations or ability to enter into certain transactions. Our ability to realize revenue through bitcoin production and successfully convert bitcoin into cash or fund overhead with bitcoin is subject to a number of risks, including regulatory, financial, and business risks, many of which are beyond our control. Additionally, we have observed significant historical volatility in the market price of bitcoin and, as such, future prices cannot be predicted.
Data Center
Data Center revenue is derived from lease income from the leasing of data center space and provisioning of power under long-term lease agreements, and the construction of assets to support tenants.
Lease rent and power reimbursement income is recognized on a monthly basis as costs are incurred and services are provided and revenue generated from providing tenant fit-out services is recognized using the percentage of completion model whereby total costs incurred are divided by total costs expected to be incurred, which reflects progress towards completion of the performance obligation.
Customers are typically required to make monthly rent and power reimbursement payments as well as periodic tenant fit-out progress payments based on contractually agreed-upon milestones.
Engineering
Substantially all Engineering revenue is derived from the sale of custom products built to customers’ specifications under fixed-price contracts. Revenue is recognized over time as performance creates or enhances an asset with no alternative use, and for which we have an enforceable right to receive compensation as defined under the contract. The length of time required to complete a custom product varies but is typically between four and 12 weeks.
Customers are typically required to make periodic progress payments based on contractually agreed-upon milestones.
If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue from our Bitcoin Mining, Data Center, or Engineering operations when needed or secure additional sources of funding, it may be necessary to significantly reduce our current rate of spending or explore other strategic alternatives.
ATM Equity Offerings
During 2025 and 2024, we offered and sold shares of our common stock through ATM offering programs pursuant to sales agreements with sales agents (each, an “ATM Program”). For additional information regarding our ATM Program, see Note 13. Stockholders’ Equity.
The following table sets forth shares sold and net proceeds received (net of sales commissions and expenses) from shares sold under our August 2024 ATM Program:
Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||
| 2025 | ||||
Shares | Net Proceeds | ||||
August 2024 ATM Program | 5,368,600 | $ | 68,405 | ||
As of March 31, 2026, no shares had been sold under the 2025 ATM Program, therefore all $500.0 million of our common stock remained available for issuance and sale pursuant to the 2025 ATM Program.
Legal Proceedings
We have been named a defendant in several lawsuits, as more fully described in Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies.

Cash Flows
The following table presents a summary of our cash flows:
Three months ended March 31, | |||||||
2026 | | 2025 | |||||
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | $ | (182,651) | $ | (122,060) | |||
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | $ | 157,793 | $ | (59,227) | |||
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | $ | (2,392) | $ | 67,857 | |||
Operating Activities
The $60.6 million increase in cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily attributable to increased power costs of $10.5 million and cash outflows during the three months ended March 31, 2026 consisting of a one-time cash payment of $20.0 million for the SBI legal settlement and $30.7 million for costs related to tenant fit-out, for which we expect to be reimbursed in the second quarter of 2026.
Investing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash provided by investing activities was primarily attributable to proceeds from the sale of bitcoin of $289.5 million, partially offset by purchases and deposits paid for miners and purchases of property and equipment for our ongoing expansions, for which we paid approximately $16.2 million in deposits for the purchase of miners and other equipment, with anticipated additional payments of $4.8 million to be made through the second quarter of 2026, and payments of approximately $115.5 million for the purchase of property and equipment.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to payments of approximately $32.9 million for the purchase of property and equipment and $26.7 million in deposits and payments for the purchase of miners.
Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, no cash was provided by financing activities as we did not issue any shares under our ATM Program, issue debt, or increase the borrowings on any of our existing debt. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities primarily consisted of proceeds from our ATM Program offerings of $70.0 million.
We have approximately $853.7 million in total principal on our debt outstanding, primarily consisting of $594.4 million from our 2030 Notes, $200.0 million from our bitcoin-backed credit facility, $54.3 million from our revolving credit facilities, and $5.0 million of debt.
We have primarily financed our strategic growth through proceeds from the issuance of our common stock through ATM Program offerings and various credit facilities, and it is reasonably likely that we will continue to finance our ongoing growth similarly.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
In preparing our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, there are certain accounting policies that may require a choice between acceptable accounting methods or may require substantial judgment or estimation in their application. The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. An accounting estimate is considered critical if both (i) the nature of the estimates or assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment involved, and (ii) the impact within a reasonable range of outcomes of the estimates and assumptions is material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These include: business combinations, valuation of the Rockdale PPA and the Corsicana PPA, long-lived assets and stock-based compensation. We believe these and other accounting policies set forth in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements should be reviewed as they are integral to understanding our results of operations and financial condition.
We have discussed the selection of critical accounting policies and the effect of estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board.

Table of Contents
Business combinations
Accounting for business combinations requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially at the acquisition date, including estimates for property and equipment and contingent consideration, where applicable. Although we believe our assumptions and estimates have been reasonable and appropriate, they are based in part on historical experience and information obtained from management of the acquired companies and are inherently uncertain. Estimates used in determining the value of property and equipment included the estimated replacement costs, which included replacement cost new, remaining life, and effective age. Estimates primarily used in determining the value of the contingent consideration included the timing and probability of achieving milestones and discount rates.
Rockdale PPA and Corsicana PPA Valuations
The Rockdale PPA and the Corsicana PPA are accounted for as derivatives, the valuations of which are based on significant unobservable inputs, which include discounted cash flow estimation models containing quoted commodity exchange spot and forward prices and are adjusted for basis spreads for load zone-to-hub differentials through the respective terms of the Rockdale PPA and the Corsicana PPA. Significant judgment and estimations are required when creating the discounted cash flow estimation models. Should our discounted cash flow estimation models change significantly, potentially material changes to the fair value of the derivative asset may result, which could have a material impact on our financial statements.
See Note 8. Power Supply Agreements for a discussion of the unobservable inputs and their impact on the valuation.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Judgment is necessary in estimating our various assets’ useful lives. This includes evaluating our own usage experience with our currently owned assets, the quality of materials used in construction-related projects, and for our miners, the rate of technological advancement and market-related factors such as the price of bitcoin and the bitcoin network hash rate, which impact the value of the miners. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, which is determined based on a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Significant judgment is used when estimating future cash flows, particularly the price of bitcoin and the bitcoin network hash rate. If such assets are considered impaired, an impairment is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets.
Should our estimates of useful lives, undiscounted future cash flows, or asset fair values change, additional and potentially material impairments may be required, which could have a material impact on our reported financial results.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense related to share-based payment awards is recognized at the grant date of the award and is estimated based on the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the grant. Compensation cost for performance-based, share-based payment awards is recognized over the performance period when achievement of the milestones and targets becomes probable. We use significant judgment in determining the likelihood of meeting milestones and market conditions. Inputs into valuation models such as Monte Carlo simulations include both the Company’s and the Russell 3000’s historical and expected annual volatilities, and depending on the inputs selected, we could calculate significantly different estimated grant date fair values, materially impacting the valuation of our stock-based awards and the stock-based compensation expense we recognize in future periods.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements for a description of applicable recent accounting pronouncements and any material impact on our financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The following discussion about our market risk exposures involves forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in our forward-looking statements. For more information regarding the forward-looking statements used in this section and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, see the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” at the forepart of this Quarterly Report.
The sensitivity analyses disclosed below provide only a limited, point-in-time view of the market risk of the financial instruments discussed. The actual impact of the respective underlying rates and price changes on the financial instruments may differ significantly from those shown in the sensitivity analyses.
Risks Regarding the Price of Bitcoin
Our business and development strategy is focused on maintaining and expanding our Bitcoin Mining operations to maximize the amount of new bitcoin rewards we earn. As of March 31, 2026, we held 15,679 bitcoin recognized at its fair value of $1.1 billion.
The market price of bitcoin is highly volatile, and we cannot accurately predict future price movements. Fluctuations in Bitcoin’s market value directly affect revenue generated from our mining operations. In addition, any decline in the fair value of the bitcoin we mine and hold for our account would be reflected in our financial statements as a charge against net income, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and the market price for our securities.
We manage our exposure to bitcoin price volatility by investing in energy-efficient miners and vertical integration, and by diversifying our revenue streams through our data center initiatives. Management regularly monitors market conditions and liquidity requirements to determine the timing of bitcoin sales and our capital expenditures.
The following table presents the impact of 10% changes in the price of bitcoin on our bitcoin holdings during the applicable period:
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 | For the three months ended March 31, 2025 | |||||||||||
| 10% Increase in | 10% Decrease in | 10% Increase in | 10% Decrease in | ||||||||
Price of Bitcoin | Price of Bitcoin | Price of Bitcoin | Price of Bitcoin | |||||||||
Increase/(Decrease) in Net Income | $ | 106,956 | $ | (106,956) | $ | 158,634 | $ | (158,634) | ||||
The decreased sensitivity to price changes in 2026 as compared to 2025 was primarily due to the decrease in our bitcoin holdings in 2026, and as of March 31, 2026, as compared to March 31, 2025.
Risk Regarding the Price of Commodities
Our operations are highly dependent on the availability and cost of electricity. Certain of our operating costs are subject to price fluctuations caused by the volatility of underlying commodity prices, including the cost of power used in our Bitcoin Mining and data center operations. We manage commodity price risk through PPAs and participation in energy demand-response programs that allow us to curtail operations and return capacity to the grid during periods of high demand. Management considers forward power prices, grid reliability requirements, and operational flexibility when determining the extent of its risk management strategy over power costs. While these strategies are intended to mitigate the impact of price volatility, significant increases in electricity costs or disruptions in power supply could still have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
The following table presents the hypothetical impact on our net income of 10% changes in the future power prices (taking into account the dates of maturity of our various fixed price PPAs) used to derive the fair value of the Rockdale PPA and the Corsicana PPA derivatives:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2026 to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
Based on this evaluation, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2026.
Changes in Internal Control
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
