The information furnished pursuant to this Section 8.01 of this current report on Form 8-K (this “Report”), including the Press Release and the Corporate Presentation attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 hereto, respectively, is furnished only, and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to liability under that Section, and shall not be incorporated into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This Report, the Press Release and Corporate Presentation (attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 hereto, respectively), as well as the documents referenced herein and therein, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “PSLRA”), which reflect our management’s opinions, expectations, beliefs, and assumptions regarding future events as of the time they are made, based on information then available to management.. Riot may also make forward-looking statements in the other reports and documents filed with the SEC, including those documents and filings incorporated herein by reference. All statements in this Report and the Corporate Presentation attached as Exhibit 99.1, as well as the documents referenced herein and therein, other than statements of historical fact, are “forward-looking statements” within the scope of this cautionary note and the PSLRA, including, but not limited to, statements concerning: our plans, strategies and objectives for future operations; new equipment, systems, technologies, services, or developments; future economic conditions, performance, or outlooks; future political conditions; the outcome of contingencies; potential acquisitions or divestitures; the number and value of Bitcoin rewards and transaction fees we earn from our Bitcoin mining operations; expected cash flows or capital expenditures; our beliefs or expectations; activities, events, or developments that we intend, expect, project, believe, or anticipate will or may occur in the future; and assumptions underlying or based upon any of the foregoing. Forward-looking statements may be identified by their use of forward-looking terminology, such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “projects,” and similar words or expressions; however, forward-looking statements may be made without such terminology. Such forward-looking statements forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or actual results, and you should not place undue reliance on them.

The future events, conditions, or results expressed in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements may not materialize or prove to be correct due to various risks and uncertainties facing Riot, including those risks which management has identified and believes to be material, as well as those which management has not identified, or which management does not believe to be material as of the date such forward-looking statements are made. A discussion of those  risk factors identified by management, which management believes to be material, can be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the United Stated Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” therein, as well as under similar headings in subsequent filings we make with the SEC. Copies of these filings may be obtained from the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov and on the “Investor Relations” page of Riot’s corporate website, www.riotplatforms.com. The discussion of such risks is not an indication that any of such identified risks have occurred at the time of this filing, or that management believes such risks are likely to transpire in the future. Furthermore, it is not possible for our management to predict all risks, the potential impact of all factors on our business, or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause our actual results to differ, perhaps materially, from those contained in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements we may make. Investors should not, therefore, consider such identified risk factors, or the discussion thereof, to be comprehensive of all risks that may affect the Company’s business. It is possible that risks which are not identified by management, or which management does not believe to be material, could adversely affect our business, perhaps materially, or that management’s efforts to prevent the occurrence of, or mitigate the effects of, those risks identified by management will be successful. Should such risks or uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, stockholder’s equity, and cash flows, and the market price of our securities may decline, as a result.

Accordingly, you should read this Report, the Press Release, and the Corporate Presentation, as well as the documents referenced herein or therein, and other filings we make with the SEC, completely and with the understanding that our future results may be materially different from our historical results and from the results expressed in or implied by any such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to us speak only as of the date they are made and, unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws, we do not assume any obligation and disclaim any intention to update or revise any such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified by the foregoing cautionary statements and are made in reliance of the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act Section 21E of the Exchange Act and the PSLRA.

RIOT ENERGIZES NEW CORSICANA FACILITY IN NAVARRO COUNTY, TEXAS

Riot Announces Energization of Its New Corsicana Facility, With Miners Now Hashing

CASTLE ROCK, COLO. / Globe Newswire / April 18, 2024 / Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIOT) (“Riot” or “the Company”), an industry leader in vertically integrated Bitcoin (“BTC”) mining, announced today that it has successfully energized the substation at the Company’s Corsicana Facility.

“Two years ago, we purchased 265 acres of land in Navarro County, Texas, driven by our vision to build the world’s largest Bitcoin mining facility, and today, we have achieved a new milestone in turning that vision into a reality with the energization of our Corsicana Facility,” said Jason Les, CEO of Riot. “This landmark achievement highlights our team’s unwavering dedication and collaborative effort over the past two years. With the Corsicana Facility’s 400-megawatt substation now operational, we remain well on track to increase our self-mining hash rate capacity to 31 EH/s by the end of 2024, which will represent a significant increase in our operational capabilities. We are excited about the incredible pipeline for growth the Corsicana Facility provides over the next several years, and we look forward to further executing on that plan.”

Graphic


Riot’s Corsicana Facility will have a total capacity of 1 GW when fully developed, at which point it is expected to be the largest known Bitcoin mining facility in the world by developed capacity. The recently energized substation will power the initial 400 MW phase of development of the Corsicana Facility. This initial phase is expected to add 16 EH/s to Riot’s self-mining capacity by the end of 2024. The first batch of miners in the first 100 MW building, Building A1, have been installed and are already hashing, and miners will continue to be deployed in Building A1 until a total capacity of 3.7 EH/s is reached.

The remaining buildings in the first phase, Buildings A2, B1, and B2, are set to progressively become operational over the next several months and are expected to add an additional 12 EH/s to Riot’s self-mining capacity, which is expected to total 31 EH/s by the end of 2024.

About Riot Platforms, Inc.

Riot’s (NASDAQ: RIOT) vision is to be the world’s leading Bitcoin-driven infrastructure platform.  Our mission is to positively impact the sectors, networks, and communities that we touch. We believe that the combination of an innovative spirit and strong community partnership allows the Company to achieve best-in-class execution and create successful outcomes.

Safe Harbor

Statements in this press release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that reflect management’s current expectations, assumptions, and estimates of future performance and economic conditions. Such statements rely on the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Because such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends,” “will,” “potential,” “hope,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements about the Company’s plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions.


The risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: unaudited estimates of Bitcoin production; our future hash rate growth (EH/s); the anticipated benefits, construction schedule, and costs associated with the Corsicana site expansion; our expected schedule of new miner deliveries; the impact of weather events on our operations and results; our ability to successfully deploy new miners; potential negative impacts on our results of Bitcoin production due to the variance in our mining pool rewards; megawatt (“MW”) capacity under development; our potential inability to realize the anticipated benefits from immersion cooling; our ability to access sufficient additional capital for future strategic growth initiatives; the possibility that the integration of acquired businesses may not be successful, or such integration may take longer or be more difficult, time-consuming or costly to accomplish than anticipated; failure to otherwise realize anticipated efficiencies and strategic and financial benefits from our acquisitions; the anticipated impacts of the Bitcoin “halving”; and the impact of COVID-19 on us, our customers, or on our suppliers in connection with our estimated timelines. Detailed information regarding the factors identified by the Company’s management which they believe may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements in this press release may be found in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed under the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as amended, and the other filings the Company makes with the SEC, copies of which may be obtained from the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov.
