Riot Platforms Acquires Block Mining for $92.5M, Eyeing 100 EH/s with a 60 MW Capacity Gain

Riot Platforms Acquires Block Mining for $92.5M, Eyeing 100 EH/s with a 60 MW Capacity Gain
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Riot Platforms, operating two Bitcoin ($BTC) mining sites in Texas, acquired another two facilities from Block Mining, a Kentucky firm.  
With the acquisition, Riot aims to achieve its 100 exahashes per second (EH/s) target.
Currently, Riot Platforms is the world’s third-largest $BTC mining firm with a 22 EH/s deployment rate, outpaced by Marathon Digital Holdings’ 31.5 EH/s. 

Riot Platforms Acquires Block Mining for $92.5M, Eyeing 100 EH/s with a 60 MW Capacity Gain

Riot Platforms, one of the global leaders in Bitcoin ($BTC) mining infrastructure, acquired Kentucky-based Block Mining for $92.5M, with $18.5M in cash and $74M in Riot stock. Block Mining could acquire another $32.5M in 2025 by securing additional power contracts.

“The acquisition of Block Mining marks a significant milestone for Riot as we continue to expand our growth pipeline,” said @JasonLes_, CEO of Riot. “This transaction allows us to diversify our operations nationally and accelerate Block Mining’s expansion in Kentucky.

— Riot Platforms, Inc. (@RiotPlatforms) July 23, 2024

Let’s explore the deal’s details.

Riot Becomes the World’s Third-Largest Mining Firm

Riot Platforms operates two of North America’s largest $BTC mining facilities in Texas with an aggregate capacity of 1.1 gigawatts (GW).

The Rockdale facility has a hash rate of 14.7 EH/s and employs 250 staff, while the Corsicana site operates at 7.3 EH/s with 135 local employees. 

Riot Platforms’ hash rate soared by 50% in June and surpassed CleanSpark and Core Scientific, both reporting hash rates of over 20 EH/s. 

Currently, the company ranks third among $BTC miners globally by market cap, nipping at the heels of CleanSpark but significantly outpaced by Marathon Digital Holdings. 

The world’s largest $BTC mining companies

The hash rate increase helped Riot mine 255 $BTC in June, a nearly 20% increase from May. However, it still represents a 44% drop year-to-date. 

The company held all the $BTC it mined in June, bringing its total holdings to 9.3K $BTC, worth approximately $600M at the current price of $64,287 per token. 

Diversification and a Step Towards 100 EH/s

Block Mining operates two sites with a combined capacity of 60 megawatts (MW) and a maximum capacity of 150 MW. Currently, Block Mining uses 23 MW for self-mining, leases 18 MW to mining tenants under hosting agreements, and the remaining 19 MW are vacant.

Of the 18 MW allocated for hosting agreements, Riot will be able to use 8 MW for self-mining in two to three months. Moreover, Riot intends to increase the site capacity to 110 MW by the end of the year. 

With the acquisition, Riot achieves several goals:

Geographical diversification of Riot’s operations to reduce reliance on a single region 
Increased mining capacity and a major step toward the 100 EH/s target 
Access to new power markets through Block Mining’s existing operations, particularly a long-term fixed-price agreement with MicroBT 
Team expansion with experienced management and operational personnel from Block Mining.

The deal immediately adds 1 EH/s to Riot’s current hash rate, with the potential to add 16 EH/s by the end of 2025, bringing the cumulative deployment rate to 38 EH/s.

Block Mining CEO Michael Stolzner highlights that Riot Platforms shares the company’s vision for energy-efficient $BTC mining and team values. 

Final Thoughts 

Beyond immediate capacity gains, the Block Mining acquisition unlocks strategic benefits for Riot. It solidifies Riot’s position on the $BTC mining playfield and brings it closer to its ambitious 100 EH/s target. 

Marathon Digital Holdings’ recent contract breach resulted in a $138M fine and could hinder its ability to expand operations. This opens a window of opportunity for Riot to increase its market share and potentially become the world’s number one BTC mining firm.
