Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIOT), a prominent player in the Bitcoin (BTC) mining industry, reported a significant decline in Bitcoin production in May 2024. According to the company, only 215 Bitcoins have been mined. % decrease compared to April 2024, 68% decrease compared to May 2023. This decline will occur after April 2024 bitcoin halvingThis resulted in a decrease in block rewards.

Hashrate expansion

Despite the decline in Bitcoin production, Riot has made progress in increasing the hash rate. The company’s total deployed hash rate increased from 12.6 EH/s in April to 14.7 EH/s by the end of May. Riot’s new mining site, the Corsicana facility, contributed significantly to this increase, adding 3.1 EH/s to the company’s capabilities. Riot CEO Jason Les highlighted progress at the Corsicana facility, saying that its first 100 MW building, Building A1, is fully developed and miner deployment is nearly complete.

Operational Challenges and Solutions

Riot’s Rockdale Facility has faced operational challenges, including the removal of problematic miner models and the deployment of new MicroBT M60S miners. This temporarily reduced the facility’s hash rate by 850 PH/s in May. However, the company expects deployment of these new miners to accelerate in June. Additionally, a lightning strike at the Corsicana facility disrupted operations for three days, but the system was assessed and mining resumed without long-term impacts.

Power and Demand Response Credits

Riot’s unique power strategy has delivered significant benefits, including generating approximately $7.3 million in power and demand response credits in May. Often used during the summer months, this strategy continues to provide a competitive advantage in reducing mining costs.

infrastructure development

Riot is progressing the development of its second large-scale facility, the Corsicana facility. The first phase of the development is expected to have a total mining capacity of 400 MW, with the potential to reach 1 gigawatt when fully completed. By May, the flood tanks in building A1 were fully deployed, providing power to almost all miners. Construction of Building A2 has also been completed and mining machine deployment has begun. Construction on the B1 building is progressing on schedule, concrete slab pouring is underway and seepage tank installation is expected to begin in June.

Future hashrate prediction

Riot expects to achieve a total self-mined hashrate capacity of 31 EH/s by the end of 2024. The company has entered into several purchase agreements with MicroBT, including an initial order and additional orders for 33,280 submerged miners for its Corsicana facility. The total number of miners is 131,340. These miners are expected to add 28EH/s to Riot’s mining capacity and are expected to be fully deployed in the second half of 2025. Once complete, Riot expects the total self-mined hashrate capacity to be 41EH/s.

Leadership and Recruitment

In a significant leadership update, ESS Metron CEO Stephen Howell has been named Riot’s Chief Operating Officer (COO). Howell will continue to oversee ESS Metron, a wholly owned subsidiary of Riot that specializes in electrical engineering and manufacturing. Riot is also actively recruiting a variety of positions to support expansion and operations.
