Executive summary

  • Transitioned from a bitcoin mining startup to a vertically integrated developer and operator of industrial-scale HPC data centers, rebranding as Cipher Digital Inc. in February 2026.

  • Achieved major execution milestones in Q1 2026, including a third data center campus lease with a 15-year term and an investment-grade hyperscale tenant, and significant progress at Barber Lake and Black Pearl.

  • Fully financed the Black Pearl project with a $2B high-yield bond offering and established a $200M revolving credit facility.

  • Operating and contracted capacity reached 907 MW, with a total pipeline of up to 4.2 GW across 10 sites, anchored by three signed data center campus leases representing $11.4B in contracted revenue over 10-15 years.

  • Construction at Barber Lake, Black Pearl, and Stingray data centers is progressing on schedule, with major milestones achieved and equipment procurement nearly complete.

Financial highlights

  • Q1 2026 revenue was $34.8M, down from $60M in Q4 and $49M in Q1 2025, reflecting the planned wind down of mining operations and lower bitcoin prices.

  • Reported a GAAP net loss of $114.3M ($0.28 per diluted share) in Q1 2026, compared to a $734M loss in Q4 2025 and $39M in Q1 2025.

  • Adjusted EBITDA for Q1 2026 was $(48.2)M, compared to $(39.9)M in Q4 2025 and $7.5M in Q1 2025.

  • Cost of revenue was $18M, down from $24M in Q4; compensation and benefits were $35M, up year-over-year due to headcount growth.

  • Interest income rose to $32M, while interest expense increased to $59M due to new project-level financings.

Outlook and guidance

  • Three executed data center campus leases expected to generate $787M average annualized net operating income from Oct 2026 to Sep 2036, rising to $892M in 2035.

  • Pipeline capacity of 3.3 GW is expected to be energized between 2027 and 2030+, targeting a total portfolio capacity of ~4.2 GW by 2030+.

  • No additional capital investment planned for Bitcoin mining; focus shifting entirely to HPC data centers, with mining phased out by 2027.

  • Management expects existing financial resources, projected cash and bitcoin inflows, and the ability to sell bitcoin and stock to be sufficient for at least the next 12 months.

  • Focus remains on execution and establishing a leading HPC development platform.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
