The company's segment gross profit was $17.1 million, up from $12.9 million in the previous year. However, Riot Platforms experienced a net loss before taxes of $84.4 million for the quarter, compared to a loss of $27.3 million in the same period last year, largely due to a $76.4 million loss in the fair value of Bitcoin. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the company reported a net income of $127.3 million, including non-cash gains from the change in fair value of Bitcoin and other investments. Riot Platforms continues to expand its mining operations, with a total deployed hash rate capacity of approximately 22.0 EH/s as of June 30, 2024, and anticipates achieving 36.3 EH/s by the end of the year. The company also completed the acquisition of Block Mining, adding to its operational capacity. Riot Platforms has ceased its Data Center Hosting operations to focus on self-mining efforts and has no plans to offer these services to new customers. The company's future plans include further development of its Corsicana Facility and strategic growth initiatives to capitalize on industry consolidation.
