“We achieved a new record for quarterly revenue this quarter, at $161.4 million, driven by the significant work our teams have put in during the preceding years, including the multi-year development of the first phase of our Corsicana Facility, significantly expanding our hash rate, and further enhancing our operating efficiency.”
