From the call
Management framed the quarter as a growing operating business obscured by bitcoin accounting — revenue up approximately 81% to $74.9 million and adjusted EBITDA of $10.4 million against a $177.1 million GAAP net loss driven primarily by a $138 million digital-asset loss — and stressed that most of the cash on the balance sheet is restricted project capital, not corporate liquidity.

CFO Sean Glennan said revenue rose approximately 81% year over year to $74.9 million while cost of revenue rose approximately 23%, lifting gross margin to approximately 64% from approximately 47%, and adjusted EBITDA excluding digital asset mark-to-market movements was $10.4 million versus $4.2 million a year earlier. show quote
“revenue increased approximately 81% year over year to $74.9 million, while cost of revenue increased by approximately 23%. That produced gross profit of approximately $48 million and expanded gross margin to approximately 64%, compared with approximately 47% in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding digital asset mark-to-market movements, was $10.4 million. That compares with $4.2 million in the prior year period.”

The GAAP net loss of $177.1 million was driven primarily by a $138 million loss on digital assets, which the CFO attributed to bitcoin falling during the quarter after rising materially in the prior-year period. show quote
