比特幣礦商的營收也較去年同期下降 8.75% 至 7,000 萬美元，略低於 Zacks 的預期。
Bitcoin miner Riot Platforms (NASDAQ:RIOT) missed Wall Street estimates on Thursday after posting its first quarterly loss since Q4 2022. The miner continues to feel the impact of April’s halving event.
Here’s a summary of Riot’s Q2 performance, as reported by Zacks Investment Research:
Net loss of $84.4 million, or $0.32 per share, compared to analysts’ estimates of a loss of $0.16 per share on revenue of $70.04 million.
Q2 net loss widened significantly from a loss of $24.3 million, or $0.11 per share, in the prior quarter.
Revenue fell 8.75% year-over-year from $76.5 million in Q2 2023, largely due to a decrease in engineering revenues.
However, an increase in Bitcoin mining revenue partially offset the decline, as the miner’s average realized price for Bitcoin increased from $20,634 in Q2 2023 to $29,008 in Q2 2024.
Despite the revenue decrease, engineering revenues still exceeded Bitcoin mining revenues for the third consecutive quarter.
Total operating expenses increased to $90.3 million from $48.9 million in the prior quarter, mainly due to an increase in selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses.
SG&A expenses rose from $19.8 million in Q2 2023 to $61.2 million in Q2 2024.
SG&A expenses include costs related to Riot’s attempted acquisition of Bitfarms (NASDAQ:BITF).
Production of Bitcoin by Riot fell 52% to 844 BTC in Q2, which the miner largely attributed to the halving event.
However, the firm’s cost to mine a Bitcoin increased drastically from $5,734 to $25,327, primarily due to the halving and a 68% increase in the Bitcoin network hash rate.
The miner’s hash rate capacity increased to 22 exahashes per second (EH/s) during the quarter.
Riot also expects its total self-mining hash rate capacity to reach 36 EH/s by the end of 2024.
Riot’s share price is down 1.18% in after-hours trading since its Q2 report was released, Google Finance data shows.
Riot is now down nearly 33.8% so far in 2024 — while one of its rivals, CleanSpark (NASDAQ:CLSK), has increased 47% and flipped Riot as the second largest Bitcoin miner by market cap.
