North American bitcoin mining company Core Scientific had a remarkable first quarter in 2024, as it reported significant growth and a major turnaround in its financial performance.
The company revealed that it self-mined an impressive 2,825 bitcoins during the quarter, amounting to over $175 million at current prices. This substantial achievement was accompanied by a noteworthy net income of $210.7 million, marking a remarkable improvement compared to a net loss of about $400,000 reported last year.
The first quarter of 2024 was particularly eventful for Core Scientific. Following its emergence from bankruptcy, the company’s shares resumed trading on the Nasdaq.
Now, with its latest financial report, Core Scientific has demonstrated a substantial turnaround, indicating a positive trajectory for the company.
In its earnings statement released on Wednesday, Core Scientific highlighted that its net income for the quarter included a gain on the extinguishment of prior obligations amounting to $143.8 million. This development underscores the company’s efforts to strengthen its financial position and achieve sustainable growth.
Core Scientific’s mining operations proved highly successful during the quarter, with the company mining 2,825 bitcoins. This achievement solidifies Core Scientific’s position as one of the leading bitcoin miners in the industry. Despite dealing with bankruptcy issues last year, Core Scientific managed to mine 19,274 bitcoins, equivalent to about $1.2 billion at current prices.
CEO Adam Sullivan expressed his satisfaction with the company’s performance, emphasizing their outstanding results in the first quarter.
Sullivan highlighted Core Scientific’s accomplishment in earning more bitcoins than any other publicly traded bitcoin miner, along with strengthening the company’s balance sheet by paying down debt and enhancing cash reserves.
“We delivered outstanding results in the first quarter, earning more bitcoin than any other publicly traded bitcoin miner, strengthening our balance sheet by paying down debt and improving our cash position, and improving our fleet efficiency with the deployment of new generation miners,” said Sullivan in the earnings statement.
Additionally, Sullivan noted the deployment of new generation miners, which contributed to improving fleet efficiency.
Core Scientific also reported a substantial increase in total revenue, reaching $179.3 million, compared to $120.7 million for the same period in 2023. The company generated an adjusted EBITDA of $88 million, indicating robust operational performance.
Although Core Scientific’s stock closed higher by nearly 3% at $3.48 a share, it experienced a slight dip of about 1.7% in after-hours trading. Nonetheless, the company’s overall performance reflects a significant turnaround and positions Core Scientific for continued growth and success in the evolving cryptocurrency mining industry.
