CEO Comments
"In July, we mined 59.8 Bitcoin, representing a 367% increase year-over-year and 8% decrease from June." said Patricia Trompeter, CEO of Sphere3D. "The decrease in production from June was due to a significant increase in curtailments related to record high temperatures at our Texas and Missouri hosting sites. Our commitment to both sustainability and operational effectiveness remains resolute despite these natural challenges."
Patricia continued, "At the end of the month, our hosting partner sites completed installation of an additional 2,400 miners, bringing our total installed hash rate to 1.35 EH/s. Moreover, we are strategically deploying another 1,800 miners across our existing and newly identified hosting sites. This initiative is set to drive our mining capacity up to our target of 1.5 EH/s. Once we reach this milestone, we anticipate it will enable us to generate positive operating cash flows on a run-rate basis at the prevailing market levels."
