Riot Platforms Reports Over $104 Million Profit in Q3

Riot Platforms has announced outstanding financial results for the third quarter of 2025, achieving a net profit of $104.5 million. This remarkable performance compensates for early-year losses and stands as one of the company’s most successful quarters ever.

Revenue Growth Driven by Bitcoin Mining

According to their latest report released on October 30, 2025, Riot Platforms’ revenue soared to $180.2 million from $84.8 million in the same quarter last year. The primary driver behind this growth was an increase in Bitcoin mining revenue, which reached $93.3 million.
During the reporting period, Riot extracted 1,406 Bitcoins, representing a notable 27% increase compared to Q3 of the previous year.

Mining Costs and Operational Efficiency

The average cost of mining per Bitcoin, excluding amortization, was reported at $46,324 compared to $35,376 a year earlier. Despite a global hash rate surge of 52% increasing expenses overall, part of these costs was offset by energy credits.

Strategic Expansion into Data Centers

Jason Les, CEO of Riot Platforms emphasized substantial investments into developing data centers such as constructing a new campus with a capacity of 112 MW in Corsicana. He stated that Riot is advancing towards becoming “a multifaceted data center operator” capable of merging Bitcoin mining with high-performance computing and AI tasks.

Strengthened Financial Position and Reserves

In the first half-year analysis ending with losses amounting to $76.9 million due mainly to significant capital spending on infrastructure upgrades—by closing Q3—Riot achieved robust cash positions supported further through substantial Bitcoin holdings nearing approximately twenty thousand units equating more than two billion USD at current market rates making them second largest holder among miners seventh across public companies overall.
