Engineering revenue, which includes infrastructure services, jumped to $22.2 million from $13.9 million year-over-year. Riot held 15,679 Bitcoin valued at approximately $1.1 billion based on the quarter-end price of $68,222, with 5,802 coins serving as collateral. The company maintained $282.5 million in cash, though $76.9 million remains restricted.
Riot's infrastructure capabilities got a boost when technology giant AMD exercised its option to double contracted capacity to 50 megawatts total during the quarter.
“Our ongoing delivery of initial capacity to AMD, and their decision to already double their footprint with a 25 megawatt expansion, validates our ability to execute at institutional scale with the most demanding tenants,” said Les. “With 50 megawatts now firmly contracted with AMD, we are rapidly executing on the value creation opportunity presented by our significant, fully-approved power portfolio.”
“We have the secured power, the in-house development expertise, and the significant financial resources required to capitalize on strong market demand with high-quality tenants in order to drive compounding shareholder value,” he added.
The quarter's results demonstrate progress on Riot's strategic pivot from pure Bitcoin mining to a hybrid model serving both cryptocurrency and AI workloads. The AMD expansion signals market demand for Riot's diversification strategy as Bitcoin miners seek stable revenue streams beyond volatile crypto markets.
