“Riot produced 484 bitcoin in July,” said Jason Les, CEO of Riot. “Historically, the summer months are more challenging for hash rate utilization, as we participate in ERCOT’s Four Coincident Peaks Program (“4CP”), voluntarily curtail as part of demand response programs, and operate in harsher conditions. Despite these factors, Riot increased production month over month and achieved an extremely low all-in power cost of $28/MWh, which is a testament to our operational improvements and our power management capabilities.
“Riot also made additional progress on our Data Center platform in July, closing on an additional 238 acres, located in proximity to our operations in Corsicana, TX. Collectively, Riot now owns 858 acres in Corsicana, giving us the flexibility to accommodate various data center designs and development plans which we are aggressively pursuing in order to be best positioned to fully utilize the 1.0 GW of power available at our Corsicana Facility.”
