 electricity cost, environmental factors (such as cooling capacity) and location play important roles in mining. As of December 31, 2024, our operating mining units were capable of producing over 39.1 exahash per second (“EH/s”) of computing power. In bitcoin mining, “hashrate” is a measure of the computing and processing power and speed by which a mining computer mines and processes transactions on the bitcoin network. We expect to continue increasing our computing power through 2025 and beyond as we expand our infrastructure at our owned sites in Wyoming, Tennessee, and Georgia, seek regional expansion opportunities, and evaluate strategic acquisition targets. As of January 31, 2025, we operated a high of 40 EH/s of computing power. A company’s computing power measured in hashrate is a significant factor in its bitcoin mining revenue.

We owned approximately 285,098 miners as of December 31, 2024, of which approximately 201,808 were in service as of December 31, 2024 and the remainder pertain to new machines ready to install in the Cheyenne, WY expansion and Jackson, TN and other expansion opportunities, are being evaluated for relocation or are pending repair. Our miners range in age from 1-48 months and have an average age of approximately 13 months. Effective May 2024, we estimate the useful lives of our miners to be three years. We do not have scheduled downtime for our miners, however, we periodically perform unscheduled maintenance and curtailments on our miners, but such downtime has not historically been significant. When performing unscheduled maintenance, we will typically replace the miner with a substitute miner to limit overall downtime. The miners owned as of December 31, 2024 had a range of energy efficiency (watts per terahash – “w/th”) of 13.5 to 29.5 w/th with an average operating energy efficiency of 17.6 w/th.

We obtain bitcoin as a result of our mining operations, and we sell bitcoin from time to time to support our operations and strategic growth. We also will utilize our bitcoin as collateral for lending arrangements. We do not currently engage in regular trading of bitcoin (other than as necessary to convert our bitcoin into U.S. dollars) or engage in hedging activities related to our holding of bitcoin; however, our decisions to hold or sell bitcoin at any given time may be impacted by the bitcoin market, which has been historically characterized by significant volatility.
