Riot Q3 2023 Earnings Report
Riot's Q3 results demonstrated ongoing execution of its long-term strategic plan to grow and thrive post-halving.
Key Takeaways
Riot Platforms reported a total revenue of $51.9 million, mined 1,106 Bitcoin, and achieved a new all-time record hash rate capacity of 10.9 EH/s. The company's power strategy drove down the average cost to mine to negative $6,141 per Bitcoin. Riot finished the quarter with $290 million in cash on hand and 7,327 Bitcoin, representing a combined total of nearly $500 million in liquidity.
Total revenue reached $51.9 million, compared to $46.3 million in Q3 2022.
The average cost to mine Bitcoin was negative ($6,141), compared to $8,227 per Bitcoin for the same period in 2022.
Bitcoin Mining revenue was $31.2 million, driven by higher Bitcoin production and prices.
Data Center Hosting revenue was $5.1 million, while Engineering revenue reached $15.5 million.
Forward Guidance
Riot expects to achieve a total self-mining hash rate capacity of 12.5 EH/s in the fourth quarter of 2023, as Building G is brought back online. Upon full deployment of an initial miner order by mid-2024, Riot’s total self-mining hash rate capacity is expected to reach 20.2 EH/s.
Positive Outlook
- Building G hash rate is returning and will continue to ramp back to its full capacity of 2.4 EH/s by the end of the year.
- Initial order of 33,280 Bitcoin miners for its Corsicana Facility has recently been updated to replace approximately 6,000 M56S++ miners with approximately 6,000 MicroBT M66 miners
- Upon full deployment of this initial order by mid-2024, Riot’s total self-mining hash rate capacity is expected to reach 20.2 EH/s.
- Riot secured an option to purchase up to 66,560 additional miners from MicroBT consisting of the M56S++, M66, and M66S models on terms not to exceed the initial order.
- Assuming full exercise of Riot’s additional purchase option, the additional 66,560 miners would add approximately 16.1 EH/s of incremental hash capacity to Riot’s self-mining capacity.
Challenges Ahead
- Due to the impact of damage incurred to Building G during the severe winter storm in Texas in December 2022, Riot expects to achieve a total self-mining hash rate capacity of 12.5 exahash per second (“EH/s”) in the fourth quarter of 2023, as Building G is brought back online.
