Bitcoin Mining Giant Riot Platforms Posts Record Revenue Despite Net Loss in Q1 2025
May 02, 2025 at 04:51 pm
One of the largest publicly traded Bitcoin mining companies, Riot Platforms (NYSE: RIOT) has reported record revenue for the first quarter of 2025.
According to its earnings report released on May 1, Riot Platforms exceeded Wall Street estimates for the quarter. The company announced total revenue of $161.4 million, narrowly beating the average analyst expectations of $159.79 million.
The Q1 revenue marks a significant growth compared to the same quarter last year. While some sources cite the growth as 50%, other reports indicate a 103.5% increase in revenue year-over-year.
This growth was primarily driven by a $71.5 million rise in Bitcoin mining revenue.
Despite the record revenue, Riot Platforms reported a net loss of $296.4 million for the quarter. This stands in stark contrast to the $211.8 million net income the company posted during the same period in 2024.
Riot CEO Jason Les highlighted the achievement in the earnings report: “We achieved a new record for quarterly revenue this quarter, at $161.4 million, driven by the work our teams have put in during the preceding years.”
Rising Bitcoin Mining Costs
The company attributed its financial challenges to rising Bitcoin mining costs. The average cost to mine one Bitcoin reached $43,808 during the quarter, nearly 90% higher than the $23,034 it cost during the same period in 2024.
Riot explained this increase was “primarily driven by the block subsidy ‘halving’ event, which occurred in April 2024, and a 41% increase in the average global network hashrate as compared to the same period in 2024.” The Bitcoin halving event reduced the reward for mining each block on the Bitcoin network.
Despite these higher costs, Riot produced more Bitcoin than in the previous year. The company mined 1,530 BTC in Q1 2025, up from 1,364 BTC during the same period in 2024. This represents an increase of 166 Bitcoin, worth approximately $16.13 million at the time of reporting, with Bitcoin trading at $97,072.
The company maintains a strong Bitcoin reserve. As of the end of March 2025, Riot held 19,223 unencumbered Bitcoin, valued at approximately $1.86 billion at current prices.
Strategic Pivot to AI and Expansion Plans
Riot Platforms has been making progress in its strategic shift from Bitcoin mining to artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. This pivot centers around its Corsicana facility in Texas.
The company reported it has taken steps to increase the attractiveness of the Corsicana site. These include acquiring additional development land nearby, enhancing connectivity through new fiber lines, and expanding on-site water access.
According to Les, “Construction work on the substation, to be completed in early 2026, also continues and will bring a total of 1.0 GW of power capacity online once completed.”
This move follows similar strategies by Riot’s competitors such as Hut 8 (TSX: HUT) and Core Scientific (NASDAQ: CORZ), which have also shifted focus toward the AI industry.
In April, Riot announced it had secured a $100 million credit facility from Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) using its Bitcoin holdings as collateral. Les described this as Riot’s “first Bitcoin-backed facility,” which will support the company’s continued expansion plans.
Riot Platforms’ stock closed at $7.77 on May 1, showing a 7.32% increase for the day according to market data. However, it fell 3.73% in after-hours trading following the earnings announcement.
The company’s stock performance over a longer period shows challenges, with Riot Platforms down 13.47% over the past six months according to market data.
