Stamford, Connecticut–(Newsfile Corp. – March 28, 2025) – Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ: ANY) (“Sphere 3D” or the “Company”), a Bitcoin mining company, is pleased to announce financial results for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
COMMENTS FROM SPHERE 3D LEADERSHIP
2024 was a year of transition for Sphere 3D. Following the Bitcoin halving in the first half of the year, we focused on cycling out of high-cost hosting partners, streamlining SG&A expenses, and laying the groundwork for vertical integration. Every four years, the halving marks a pivotal moment for Bitcoin mining companies. As an operations-driven business, long-term strategies often take time to show results, but we are pleased with the direction we are heading. Our move toward owning and operating our own infrastructure marks a major milestone. The launch of our first site in March 2025 signals a meaningful shift in our strategic focus.
2024 HIGHLIGHTS
During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company replaced approximately 25% of its S19j Pro miners with newer generation S19 XPs and S21 Bitmain miners, which increased the nameplate hashrate related to those miners by 40% and 100% respectively.In November 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a single institutional investor for the issuance and sale of 4,225,353 of its common shares in a registered direct offering at a purchase price of $1.42 per share. In a concurrent private placement, the Company also agreed to issue to the same investor warrants to purchase up to 4,225,353 of its common shares the warrants have an exercise price of $1.50 per share.In September 2024, the Company partnered with Simple Mining LLC to engineer, develop and operate a mining site in Iowa, signaling the transition to vertical integration, which was completed in March 2025. In April 2024, a Bitcoin halving event occurred on the Bitcoin network. Halving is a key part of the Bitcoin protocol and serves to control the overall supply and reduce the risk of inflation in digital assets using a proof-of-work consensus algorithm. The Bitcoin halving event reduced the block subsidy by half from 6.25 to 3.125 Bitcoin per block.In January 2024, we reached a settlement agreement with Core Scientific, which was approved by a United States Bankruptcy Judge on January 16, 2024 as part of Core Scientific’s emergence from bankruptcy, for $10.0 million of Core Scientific’s equity.
BITCOIN ASSET AND VALUE
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had a self-mined Bitcoin balance of 14.9 with a carrying value of approximately $1.4 million.
FISCAL YEAR 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS
The Company generated revenues of $16.6 million in fiscal year 2024 compared to $21.9 million in fiscal year 2023 reflective of the Company’s actions beginning in the third quarter of 2024, removing certain older mining equipment and replacing it with newer generation miners. This is expected to be an ongoing process through 2025, which may result in further fluctuations in exahash. There was also a decrease in revenues of $2.2 million related to the Company’s former Service and Product segment which was sold in December 2023.Operating costs and expenses for fiscal year 2024 decreased to $38.0 million, compared to $51.9 million for fiscal year 2023.The net loss available to common shareholders in fiscal year 2024 decreased to $9.5 million, or a net loss of $0.48 per share, compared to a net loss available to common shareholders of $23.4 million, or a net loss of $1.93 per share, in fiscal year 2023.
RECENT CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS
In March 2025, we reached a settlement with Gryphon Digital Mining, Inc. to resolve all claims against each other on mutually satisfactory terms which resulted in the complete dismissal of outstanding litigation. Sphere 3D made no payments under the settlement agreement. In March 2025, our new hosting site in Iowa was fully energized, and Sphere entered into a Managed Services Agreement with Simple Mining to operate the site on our behalf.In January 2025, we ended our hosting agreement with Rebel Mining Company LLC and agreed to a termination and settlement amount of $2.4 million payable to us in satisfaction of all obligations of the Rebel hosting agreement, and it constitutes a final settlement of all amounts owed by either party.
