Insights
Cipher Mining's strong Q2 results and aggressive expansion position it well despite mixed financial performance.
Cipher Mining delivered
The company's hashrate expansion has been impressive, with self-mining capacity growing to 16.8 EH/s and projected to reach 23.5 EH/s by Q3-end. This
Most intriguing is Cipher's strategic pivot with Black Pearl Phase II, designed for flexible conversion between bitcoin mining and high-performance computing (HPC) applications. This hybrid approach creates optionality in Cipher's business model, allowing it to pivot toward AI compute demands while maintaining bitcoin mining operations. The strategy leverages Cipher's core competency—access to substantial power capacity—while potentially reducing exposure to bitcoin price volatility.
The successful
Second Quarter 2025 Revenue of
Black Pearl Phase I exceeds growth targets, bringing Cipher’s total self-mining capacity to ~16.8 EH/s and on track to deliver ~23.5 EH/s by the end of the third quarter 2025
NEW YORK, Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (NASDAQ: CIFR) (“Cipher� or the “Company�) today announced its second quarter 2025 financial results, as well as an update on its operations and business strategy.
“The second quarter was marked by consistent execution and thoughtful investment to best position the company for the future,� said Tyler Page, CEO of Cipher Mining. “Notably, we’re thrilled to have commenced hashing at Black Pearl Phase I ahead of schedule. The site is a best-in-class facility and will soon be fully equipped with latest-generation rigs from our two fully funded rig orders.�
Cipher also made the decision to proceed with a new strategic plan at Black Pearl Phase II that bridges the needs of both AI compute and hydro-bitcoin mining. Through upfront design and infrastructure pre-positioning, Cipher will be able to efficiently convert segments of the site to Tier 1, 2, or 3 design specifications in response to tenant leasing preferences.
Mr. Page added, “In the long run, we expect this site to be fully leased by HPC tenants. By taking this approach to building infrastructure today, we will be prepared to sign tenants when they are ready, while also preserving our flexibility to use the space for bitcoin mining in the near term, if preferred. In short, Black Pearl Phase II infrastructure will enable us to monetize access to power quickly, whether via HPC tenants or bitcoin mining.�
“With our 2.6-gigawatt pipeline, a strong track record of proven execution, and a focused strategy to position the company for the future, we’re well equipped to become a leading developer of HPC data centers, while continuing to set the standard in bitcoin mining,� said Mr. Page.

These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “may,� “will,� “should,� “expects,� “plans,� “anticipates,� “could,� “seeks,� “intends,� “targets,� “projects,� “contemplates,� “believes,� “estimates,� “strategy,� “future,� “forecasts,� “opportunity,� “predicts,� “potential,� “would,� “will likely result,� “continue,� and similar expressions (including the negative versions of such words or expressions).
These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Cipher and its management, are inherently uncertain. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this press release, including but not limited to: volatility in the price of Cipher’s securities due to a variety of factors, including changes in the competitive and regulated industry in which Cipher operates, Cipher’s evolving business model and strategy and efforts it may make to modify aspects of its business model or engage in various strategic initiatives, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting Cipher’s business, and the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations and to identify and realize additional opportunities. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors� section of Cipher’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC�) on February 25, 2025, Cipher’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2025 to be filed with the SEC, and in Cipher’s subsequent filings with the SEC.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes supplemental financial measures for Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per share - diluted, in each case that exclude the impact of (i) the non-cash change in fair value of derivative asset, (ii) share-based compensation expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) deferred income tax expense, (v) nonrecurring gains and losses and (vi) the non-cash change in fair value of warrant liability. These supplemental financial measures are not measurements of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP�) and, as a result, these supplemental financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to help understand, manage, and evaluate our business performance and to help make operating decisions. We believe the use of these non-GAAP financial measures can also facilitate comparison of our operating results to those of our competitors by excluding certain items that vary in our industry based on company policy.
Non-GAAP financial measures are subject to material limitations as they are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, measurements prepared in accordance with GAAP. For example, we expect that share-based compensation expense, which is excluded from the non-GAAP financial measure, will continue to be a significant recurring expense over the coming years and is an important part of the compensation provided to certain employees, officers and directors. Similarly, we expect that depreciation and amortization will continue to be a recurring expense over the term of the useful life of the related assets. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation and should be read only in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this press release, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. We rely primarily on such condensed consolidated financial statements to understand, manage and evaluate our business performance and use the non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally.
