Note 1. Organization Nature of Operations Riot Platforms, Inc. is a vertically integrated Bitcoin mining company principally engaged in enhancing our capabilities to mine Bitcoin in support of the Bitcoin blockchain. The Company also provides comprehensive and critical mining infrastructure for institutional-scale hosted clients to mine Bitcoin at its Rockdale Facility. The Rockdale Facility currently provides 700 megawatts in total developed capacity for Bitcoin mining and data center hosting services for institutional-scale hosted clients. The Rockdale Facility is believed to be the largest Bitcoin mining facility in North America, as measured by developed capacity, and the Company is currently growing its capacity. The Company is also developing the Corsicana Facility, a second large-scale Bitcoin mining data center facility, which, upon completion, is expected to have approximately one gigawatt of capacity available for Bitcoin mining and data center hosting services for institutional-scale hosted clients. The Company operates in an environment that is constantly evolving based on the proliferation of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. A significant component of our strategy is to effectively and efficiently allocate capital among opportunities that generate the highest return on our investment. On November 21, 2022, the Company filed an amendment with the Secretary of State of Nevada increasing its number of authorized shares of common stock, no par value, from 170 million shares to 340 million shares. As described in Note 22. Segment Information, we operate in three business segments: Bitcoin Mining, Data Center Hosting, and Engineering. |
