Positive Financial Results for Q4 2024

Enhancements to Mining Capabilities
The company completed a major upgrade to its Odessa fleet, significantly increasing its self-mining hashrate to around 13.5 EH/s. This upgrade not only enhances efficiency but also positions Cipher Mining competitively within the bitcoin mining sector.

Strategic Acquisitions Foster Growth
Cipher Mining executed a strategic acquisition of the Stingray data center site in Texas, boasting a robust 100 MW of front-of-the-meter capacity. This site acquisition, coupled with an additional 337 acres adjacent to the Barber Lake facility, enables the company to expand its mission to develop high-performance computing (HPC) data centers. The company has entered into a 60-day exclusivity agreement with Priority Power for negotiations to build an additional 500 MW HPC data center, further enhancing its growth trajectory.
Vision for Future Infrastructure Development
Cipher Mining aims to establish itself as a leader in data center development for HPC infrastructure. With a current pipeline of 2.8 GW in site capacity, the company is focused on leveraging optionality for both HPC and bitcoin mining data centers. Construction on Phase I of the Black Pearl project, featuring 150 MW of capacity expected to yield more than 9.5 EH/s, remains on track to commence energization in the second quarter.
