The stock gained 11.2% following earnings, driven by higher-than-expected Bitcoin production and revenue growth despite falling Bitcoin prices, highlighting operational execution as the key positive catalyst.
- Bitcoin production rose approximately 14% quarter-over-quarter to 932 BTC, marking a record high driven by full-scale contribution from the Drumheller site’s new capacity.
- Revenue increased 8% sequentially to roughly $67 million despite a 12% decline in the Bitcoin price, with growth primarily attributable to higher production and a downward adjustment in network difficulty.
- Gross margin compressed modestly to 49% from 52% due to the price decline, but underlying costs remained stable with only a slight rise in energy expenses.
- Cost to mine stayed largely flat, increasing less than 1% to about $36,500 per Bitcoin, emphasizing operational discipline amid volatility.
- The strategic reserve grew 14% to 8,002 Bitcoin, fueled by mine production plus selective market purchases, with no Bitcoin sales from the balance sheet during the quarter.
