Management Commentary
During the month of April, Cipher expanded operations at its Odessa facility while funding both operating expenses and capital expenditures through ongoing operations. Cipher finished April with the potential to mine approximately 16.2 bitcoin¹ per day.

“We are delighted to announce we achieved our initial corporate buildout goal of 6 EH/s during the month of April,” said Tyler Page, CEO of Cipher. “We now have over 5 EH/s of self-mining operations at our Odessa facility and approximately 1 EH/s of self-mining operations across our other three sites. In April, we continued to fund our operating expenses as well as our capital expenditures through ongoing operations, without any dilution for shareholders. We now look forward to completing the final phase of Odessa’s buildout this summer and turning our focus to the next stages of growth.”
