Riot (NASDAQ: RIOT), a company that produces 463 platforms, was founded in 1999. Bitcoin The latest non-audited report of its monthly operations and production shows that in April 2025 the company will have fewer than 900 employees, but a 23% increase over last year. In addition, the company sold 475 Bitcoins for a net of 38.8 millions dollars at an average of $81,731, indicating a shift in strategy.
“Riot mined 463 bitcoin in April as the network experienced two successive difficulty adjustments during the month,” said Jason LesRiot CEO.
In April the company completed a major deal, purchasing all of Rhodium’s tangible assets at Rockdale Facility. This included 125MW of electrical capacity. “April was a significant month for Riot as we closed on the acquisition of all of the tangible assets of Rhodium at our Rockdale Facility, including 125 MW of power capacity, and mutually ended all outstanding litigation,” Les continued. “This transaction ends the hosting agreement with our last hosting client and marks the complete exit of Riot from the bitcoin mining hosting business.”
Due to increasing network complexity, the average daily production of bitcoins fell from 17.2 BTC/day to just 15.4 BTC/day. Riot’s hashing rate was flat at 33,7 EH/s while the average operating rate dropped 3% to 29,3 EH. It maintained a strong fleet efficiency of 21.0 J/TH – a 22% increase year over year.
Riot’s profitability was also heavily influenced by its power strategy. Total power credits reached $2.0 million in April—up 131% from March—driven by increased demand response and curtailment participation.
“During the month of April, we made the strategic decision to sell our monthly production of bitcoin to fund ongoing growth and operations,” said Les. “These sales reduce the need for equity fundraising, limiting the amount of dilution in our stock.”
Riot finished the month holding 19,211 Bitcoin including 1,900 in restricted asset, unchanged from March and more than twice its April 2024 total.
The company is currently recruiting, and it plans to participate in several industry events that will take place in May. These include the Bitcoin 2025 conference Las Vegas is a great place to visit.
Riot’s vertically integrated business model, combined with recent operations consolidation, has helped it to maintain its position as a leader of Bitcoin mining in the United States.
