NEW YORK, July 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stronghold Digital Mining, Inc. (NASDAQ: SDIG) (“Stronghold” or the “Company”) today provided the following updates regarding its operations and financial performance:

Bitcoin Mining Update

Stronghold mined 61 Bitcoin in June 2024 and generated approximately $0.1mm in energy revenue, which represents the equivalent of approximately 2 additional Bitcoin based on the average price of Bitcoin during the month. This equates to approximately 63 of Bitcoin-equivalent production in June 2024.

The Company generated an estimated $4.0 million of revenue during June, a decrease of 24% compared to May 2024. The primary driver of the revenue decline in June was an approximately 0.9 EH/s lower average daily hash rate that was the result of three temporary factors: 1) voluntary curtailment due to the record June heat in Pennsylvania between June 17^th through June 23^rd, during which time the Company avoided importing electricity at unprofitable prices, 2) the planned outage at the Panther Creek plant that included some maintenance on electrical infrastructure to support the Bitcoin mining operations, and 3) a storm that affected the Panther Creek plant transmission line on June 27^th and caused the data center to be down for four days to end the month. Panther Creek has since resumed Bitcoin mining operations, and the plant completed its planned maintenance outage. Average hash price in June was $0.055 per TH/s per day compared to $0.052 in April, due to a slight increase in Bitcoin price of 0.9%, increased transaction fees, which averaged 11.4% in June compared to 7.4% in May, and a decline in network hash rate of 1.2%.
