  • Transitioned to high-density colocation as the primary business, with 77% of H1 2026 revenue from colocation, and total contracted billable capacity now at approximately 1.1 GW, representing more than $24 billion in base contracted revenue.

  • Significant expansion potential through partnerships with AMD and CoreWeave, targeting over 3 GW of customer contracted capacity.

  • Operates high-density colocation facilities supporting AI and compute-intensive workloads, with a strategic shift from bitcoin mining to digital infrastructure services for third parties.

  • Net loss for Q2 2026 was $1.2 billion, primarily due to warrant fair value changes and mining asset impairment.

  • Cash and equivalents plus digital assets totaled $1.8 billion as of June 30, 2026, providing a strong foundation for capital expenditures.

  • Capital expenditures for Q2 2026 were $797.5 million, with $180.9 million funded by customers.

Outlook and guidance

  • Expect another step-up in colocation revenue in Q3 as additional capacity comes online, with initial AMD delivery in early 2027 and full 530 MW by end of 2028.

  • Hosted mining operations expected to conclude by year-end 2026; self-mining operations winding down.

  • Targeting delivery of about 600 MW per year in 2028, with flexibility to scale further if market demand supports it.

  • Over 2 GW in new site opportunities are under due diligence for potential purchase, supporting robust industry demand.

  • Focus on diversifying customer base beyond CoreWeave to reduce revenue concentration risk.

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.
