Bitcoin holdings as of March 31, 2025, were 160.2 Bitcoin, valued at $13.2 million. Additionally, the company generated approximately $150,000 from power sales back to the grid in Q1, which contributed to improving mining margins from 31.2% in Q4 2024 to 38.5% in Q1 2025. Revenue from Bitcoin mining declined 50.5% year-over-year largely due to the impact of the prior year.

Q&A highlights
Q: Talk a little bit more about the Oklahoma site build-out and what you are thinking about currently in Texas?
A: Sure. Texas has got a counterpart issue, so I don't think that there's anything in the short tries and force at this point. Oklahoma, we are up and running, and we will continue to move containers to expand by the year, and that is on the timetable that we discussed earlier, and we'll update you as the quarter progresses.
Q: After that April sales of the S21, so does that take care of all the machines that were in inventory and not plugged in?
A: Taking care of it, I don't know what that means. So, we did sell S21’s and [Technical Difficulty].
Q: For just a 20,000 foot perspective question with the new sites, do you have any geographies in mind targeting the 5 megawatt to 20 megawatt Greenfield, Brownfield build-outs or are you exploring?
A: Michael, the geography, [Technical Difficulty] that’s taking us right now a lot of business in Oklahoma, [Technical Difficulty].
