Riot Blockchain, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIOT) (“Riot” or “the
Company”), an industry leader in Bitcoin (“BTC”) mining
and data center hosting, announces unaudited production and
operations updates for October 2022.
Bitcoin Production and Operations Updates for October
2022
- Riot produced 509 BTC, an increase of approximately 10% as
compared to October 2021 production of 464 BTC.
- Riot held approximately 6,825 BTC, all produced by the
Company’s self-mining operations, as of October 31, 2022.
- Riot sold 450 BTC, generating net proceeds of approximately
$8.7 million.
- Riot had a deployed fleet of 65,516 miners, with a hash rate
capacity of 6.9 exahash per second (“EH/s”), as of October 31,
2022.
“October marked another month of executional excellence for
Riot,” said Jason Les, CEO of Riot. “We continued to make
significant progress on the expansion of our Rockdale Facility,
where we recently completed Building G, Riot’s second
immersion-cooled building, rapidly deployed new miners in parallel
with new infrastructure buildout, and broke ground on the first
phase of development on our new Corsicana facility. This focus on
solid execution of our growth plans has resulted in another record
hash rate capacity this month, as we progress towards our goal of
reaching 12.5 EH/s in the first quarter of 2023.”
Mining Deployment and Shipment Update
During the month of October, Riot received 7,385 new S19-series
miners, increased its deployed fleet by 9,788 S19-series miners,
with approximately 7,912 miners staged for deployment. Upon
deployment of the staged miners, the Company expects to have a
total of 73,428 miners deployed with a hash rate capacity of
approximately 7.8 EH/s. Additionally, shipments of 3,055 S19-series
miners have been initiated out of Bitmain Technologies Limited
(“Bitmain”) and are expected to be received during November
2022.
Infrastructure Update
During the month of October, Riot’s Rockdale facility
successfully scaled and achieved major milestones towards the build
out of the Company's 400 megawatt ("MW") digital infrastructure
project.
Engineers continued to install Riot’s air-cooling rack system in
Building D where installation is expected to be completed before
the end of November. In Building E, electrical work nears
completion and construction teams have begun to install the
air-cooling rack system.
The Company is pleased to announce the completion of its second
immersion-cooled building, Building G, with the installation of the
remaining dry cooler infrastructure, internal tanks and pumping
systems.
On October 18th, Riot executives and employees along with local
and state officials gathered to celebrate the Company’s
groundbreaking ceremony in Corsicana, Navarro County, Texas. The
first phase of the Corsicana facility will consist of 400 megawatts
(“MW”), with self-mining and data center hosting operations
expected to commence by the fourth quarter of 2023.

Estimated Hash Rate Growth
During Q1 2023, Riot anticipates a total self-mining hash rate
capacity of 12.5 EH/s, assuming full deployment of approximately
115,450 Antminer ASICs, but excluding any potential incremental
productivity gains from the Company’s utilization of 200 MW of
immersion-cooling infrastructure. Substantially all of Company’s
self-mining fleet will consist of the latest generation S19-series
miners. In addition to the Company’s self-mining operations, Riot
hosts approximately 200 MW of institutional Bitcoin mining
clients.
