“The second quarter saw the Bitcoin network ‘halving’ in April of this year, a preprogrammed event whereby the Bitcoin block subsidy received by miners from the network is cut in half every four years. Despite this reduction in available production for all Bitcoin miners, Riot posted $70.0 million in revenue for the quarter and maintained strong gross margins in our core Bitcoin mining business,” said Jason Les, CEO of Riot.
Following the print, HC Wainwright & Co. analyst Mike Colonnese reiterated Riot with a Buy rating and maintained a price target of $17.
