Riot recorded $84.8 million in revenue this quarter, representing a 65% increase over the same quarter in 2023,” said CEO Jason Les in an announcement on Oct. 30.
A “significant increase in deployed hash rate allowed us to produce 1,104 Bitcoin this quarter,” he added before saying that this was in line with production in Q3, 2023, despite the halving.
He said the firm “continued to achieve significant growth” during the first full quarter past the Bitcoin BTC $72,242 halving, which was driven by a 159% year-over-year increase in deployed hashrate to 28 EH/s (exahashes per second) at the end of September.
However, the net loss for the quarter was $154 million, or $0.54 per share, 92% higher than the net loss in Q3, 2023, primarily due to reduced power credits, increased operating expenses, and the halving impact.
The average cost to mine one Bitcoin was $35,376, around half of current spot prices, which are around $72,000. The firm attributed this to its energy efficiency, “achieving an industry-leading average all-in cost of power of 3.1 cents/kWh,” Les added.
The firm also reported “robust balance sheet strength,” with approximately $1.3 billion in cash and equity securities and 10,427 Bitcoin, worth around $750 million, held.
