What RIOT does

Large-scale bitcoin mining company running data centers in Texas that also sells power back during peak demand.

Revenue is the bitcoin it earns for processing transactions, valued at market price, so its income is mostly a bet on bitcoin rather than on customers. In Texas it also sells unused power back to the grid and earns credits for switching machines off at peak demand. It owns the Whinstone site, bought in 2021.

Products and services

  • Bitcoin mining
  • Power curtailment / demand-response revenue
  • Data center hosting (emerging)

Customers

  • itself (mines and holds bitcoin)
  • grid operators (via demand response)

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Digital assets
  • Bitcoin mining
  • Mining data centers + power/grid…

What could go right

  • Bitcoin price appreciation
  • Power/demand-response revenue

What could go wrong

  • Bitcoin price volatility
  • Rising network difficulty / halving economics

Moat: none (scale). Large mining capacity gives some cost advantage, but bitcoin mining itself has no structural moat.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
