Analysis · CAN · Crypto Assets
The full interim financials reveal a $186.4M net loss for the first half of 2026, driven by a $44M inventory write-down, a $34.2M cryptocurrency fair-value loss, and a $24.9M derivative loss. Revenue collapsed to $94.6M from $183.0M a year earlier. The company also disclosed a $24.8M equity investment in Cipher Mining's ABC Projects, paid in newly issued ADSs. Against a backdrop of a Nasdaq minimum-bid compliance deadline in January 2027 and a $130M crypto treasury being monetized for buybacks, these results show severe operating deterioration and shrinking cash reserves.
