Management Commentary for August
Cipher delivered a solid month of production during a hot August in Texas. As expected over the summer, the Company saw meaningful curtailment from its power provider at the Odessa data center during the month.
In August, the Company also qualified as a well-known seasoned issuer and, with that new filing status, today filed a new shelf registration statement that provides flexibility to raise debt, equity or hybrid instruments for accretive opportunities.
“The Cipher team has been very active this summer managing operational and electricity pricing risks in the Texas heat while continuing the on-schedule construction at Black Pearl,” said Tyler Page, CEO of Cipher. “Our business development and other corporate team members have stayed extremely busy with our other recently announced acquisitions, including our new 300 MW site acquisition, which we expect to close this month. This acquisition will bring our power portfolio to over 2.5 GW and can be deployed for HPC hosting or bitcoin mining,” continued Mr. Page.
“With our new shelf registration statement, we have many options to fund our growth in responsible ways that will continue to drive shareholder value. Management of our bitcoin inventory is also a vital part of our capital planning, and we view liquidating portions of our bitcoin holdings over time as a potential source for funding accretive growth,” said Mr. Page.
Bitcoin Production and Operations Updates for August 2024
Cipher produced ~1601 BTC in August. As part of its regular treasury management process, Cipher sold ~136 BTC in August, ending the month with a balance of ~2,284 BTC.
