Management Commentary
During the month of January, Cipher continued to expand operations at Odessa, fund our capital expenditures out of operations and build our bitcoin inventory. Cipher started the month with the potential to mine up to ~9.3 bitcoin in a day and finished with the potential to mine ~14.0 bitcoin1 – a ~51% increase in a single month.
"Our experienced deployment and operations teams worked tirelessly to continue our rapid hash rate build throughout January," said Tyler Page, CEO of Cipher. "We now have over 3.3 EH/s of self-mining operations at our Odessa facility and approximately 4.3 EH/s of self-mining operations across our sites. Cipher remains on track to build out ~6 EH/s of self-mining capacity in the first quarter of 2023."
