About the company

Riot Platforms operates large-scale Bitcoin mining facilities and provides electrical engineering services through its subsidiary, ESS Metron. The company uses specialized computers called ASIC miners to solve complex math problems that secure the Bitcoin network, earning digital currency as a reward. Unlike many competitors who rely solely on mining, Riot is vertically integrated, meaning it builds its own electrical infrastructure and is expanding into high-performance computing and AI data centers to diversify its income. Its goal is to leverage its massive power capacity in Texas to become a leading provider of digital infrastructure for both the cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence industries.

Riot frees $494M in bitcoin after repaying $200M Coinbase loan early

Riot Platforms has repaid a $200 million loan to Coinbase, freeing 5,821 bitcoin worth approximately $494 million at current prices. The Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin miner cleared the debt on 21 September, seven months ahead of the April 2027 deadline, according to an SEC filing. The released coins represent over half of the 11,380 bitcoin Riot held on 30 June. The company had pledged the bitcoin as collateral for the loan, which carried a 6.15% fixed interest rate. Riot has been selling more bitcoin than it mines whilst spending heavily to convert its Texas facilities into AI data centres. In August, the company signed a 20-year, $9.1 billion lease for computing capacity at its Rockdale campus. Morgan Stanley provided a $573 million interim construction loan. The filing does not specify how Riot raised funds for the repayment or its plans for the freed bitcoin.

Riot Platforms sold 4,300 Bitcoin during the second quarter to fund operations and its expanding artificial intelligence data centre business. The cryptocurrency miner still holds 11,380 BTC worth $717.65 million. The company ended Q2 with over $1.2 billion in liquid assets, including $548.9 million in cash. It mined 1,587 Bitcoin in the quarter, up from 1,426 a year earlier, though mining revenue fell 19% year-over-year to $113.7 million. The cost to mine one Bitcoin reached $90,631, exceeding the $71,667 production value per coin. Rising power costs and expansion of its Kentucky facility drove mining costs higher.
