Riot Platforms announced a 13% decrease in Bitcoin production for April 2025, producing 463 BTC. The company also completed the acquisition of Rhodium’s assets at its Rockdale Facility.
Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIOT) reported a 13% decline in Bitcoin (BTC) production for April 2025, with a total of 463 BTC mined, compared to March’s 533 BTC. Despite the decrease, the production represents a 23% increase from April 2024, according to Riot Platforms.
Operational Highlights
In April, Riot’s average daily Bitcoin production was 15.4 BTC, down from 17.2 BTC in the previous month. The company held 19,211 BTC by the end of April, which includes 1,900 restricted bitcoins. The deployed hash rate remained stable at 33.7 EH/s, while the average operating hash rate was slightly lower at 29.3 EH/s.
Riot’s CEO, Jason Les, highlighted the significant events in April, noting the acquisition of tangible assets from Rhodium at the Rockdale Facility, which includes 125 MW of power capacity. This acquisition ends the company’s involvement in the Bitcoin mining hosting business.
Financial Strategy and Market Position
In a strategic move, Riot sold its entire monthly Bitcoin production, generating net proceeds of $38.8 million. The average net price per Bitcoin sold was $81,731. This decision supports Riot’s growth and operational funding while reducing the need for equity fundraising and potential stock dilution.
Les emphasized Riot’s commitment to evaluating the best funding sources while prioritizing a strong balance sheet. The company remains focused on its long-term Bitcoin treasury strategy, reflecting confidence in Bitcoin’s future potential.
Power and Efficiency Metrics
Riot reported total power credits of $2.0 million, a significant increase from $0.9 million in March. The all-in power cost was slightly reduced to 3.7 cents per kWh. The company’s fleet efficiency stood at 21.0 J/TH, showing a 22% improvement from the previous year.
Future Developments
Riot Platforms is actively recruiting for various positions to support its expanding operations. The company aims to enhance its infrastructure and secure the Bitcoin network further.
Riot will participate in several investor events, including the Texas Energy and Mining Summit and the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, to engage with industry stakeholders and investors.
