CEO Comments
“Our priority remains focused on our long-term strategy of reducing reliance on high-cost hosting partners and increasing vertical integration,” said Patricia Trompeter, CEO of Sphere 3D, “Recently, we took steps to reduce counterparty risk by exiting a hosting contract, which brought a $3.0 million inflow. This was the best decision given the less favorable economics post-halving. The temporary downtime of some machines is planned and part of our ongoing efforts to shift to improved hosting solutions and build out our own infrastructure. This approach enables us to take greater control of our future. Additionally, as we upgrade our fleet with the latest generation machines, we anticipate some short-term fluctuations in exahash and Bitcoin output. However, we’re confident these adjustments will enhance our efficiency and position us for sustainable growth.”
