Mining production decreased in September as the company focused on its long-term strategic goal of transitioning to lower-cost hosting sites. The decrease reflects significant changes at one colocation site, where the hosting provider bought out the company's contract.
This buyout has strengthened the company's balance sheet by increasing cash reserves and lowering overall cost of mining. The company is currently evaluating miners from this site and is actively exploring more affordable hosting options.
In line with this strategic shift, the company has recently added 0.21 EH/s of higher-efficiency machines to its fleet. These machines are expected to go live in October, in addition to a total of 1,000 Bitmain S21 units scheduled for energization by Q4 2024 and another 1,000 Bitmain S21s in Q1 2025.
