Strategic Update

We continue to proactively focus on the company's future growth through operational growth and strategic partnerships:

  • As previously announced, our plan is to gradually take older machines offline and replace them with the latest generation models throughout the remainder of the year. We are progressing with our fleet refresh by taking delivery of our first order of Bitmain Antminer S21s, which we expect to be operational in the next week or so. Our partners continue to assist with the divestiture of our older-generation fleet, while also providing the Company with all buying options for additional Bitmain Antminer S21s which the team is currently evaluating.
  • With a concentrated goal of merging with a company focused on vertical integration, we are in the process of continuing discussions with several potential partners.

CEO Comments

"We continue to position the company for optimal outcomes by focusing on reducing our exposure to third parties and renewing our fleet. Our targeted M&A pursuits concentrating on vertical integration capabilities is moving along smoothly. With all transformations, things take time," explains Patricia Trompeter, CEO of Sphere 3D. She adds, "Our debt-free status combined with investments on our balance sheet are allowing us to transform the company with sustained success and productivity in a cogent, thoughtful way. We are excited as our first batch of new generation Bitmain Antminer S21s have arrived and we hope to have them online in the next week or two. We are looking forward to adding them to the fleet in July."

Production

As we execute the fleet refresh, we expect continued volatility in our Bitcoin production as machines come offline and are replaced with newer generation machines. In the short term, we will experience volatility with bitcoin production and energized exahash. In the long term, we expect it to lead to greater gross profits as we replace the fleet with more efficient machines. We expect these growing pains will be worth it in the long run as we transform the company.

The operational issues with third party hosting sites are further narrowing our focus to complete a merger where we can control our operations.
