Bitcoin miner Riot Platforms cuts Q2 loss to $27.7 million
The company managed to reduce net loss in the quarter by increasing Bitcoin production.
Colorado-based bitcoin mining company Riot Platforms reduced its second-quarter net loss to $27.7 million by ramping up bitcoin production and hitting record hash rate capacity.
>The crypto miner recorded total revenue of $76.7 million – up 5.2% from the second quarter of 2022 – which was mainly due to a 27% increase in a year-over-year of Bitcoin (BTC) production, offset by lower Bitcoin prices, according to the company's Aug. 9 earnings filing.
The company's mining revenue of $49.7 million represents 64.7% of the company's total revenue in the quarter. An additional $13.5 million was realized through corporate energy reduction credits.
Meanwhile, its second quarter net loss was a massive reduction from the prior year period, which was $353.5 million. This was also about half of the net loss recorded in the first quarter of 2023.
