Basis of presentation | Basis of presentation The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. While these statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim period, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. As such, the information included in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, and related notes thereto, included in the Annual Report. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The U.S. Dollar is the functional and presentation currency of the Company. Significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are summarized below. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Principles of consolidation | Principles of consolidation These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. Consolidated subsidiaries’ results are included from the date the subsidiary was formed or acquired. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Unconsolidated investments in which the Company does not have a controlling interest but does have significant influence are accounted for as equity method investments, with earnings recorded in other income (expense). These investments are included in long-term assets and the Company’s proportionate share of income or loss is included in other income (expense). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Reclassifications | Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The Company believes that the reclassifications did not have a material impact on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. The impact on any prior period disclosures was immaterial. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Recent accounting pronouncements | Recent accounting pronouncements The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequences of the change to its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and ensures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements properly reflect the change. In January 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Update ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2025-01 was issued to clarify the effective date for Update ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires public business entities to provide additional disclosures in the notes to financial statements, disaggregating specific expense categories within relevant income statement captions. The prescribed categories include purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depreciation, depletion, and amortization related to oil-and-gas producing activities. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting the standard. In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”) to enhance transparency in income tax reporting. ASU 2023-09 requires public business entities to disclose more detailed information about the nature and composition of deferred tax assets and liabilities, including the impact of tax law changes on current taxes payable. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting the standard. |

Use of estimates | Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include estimates associated with revenue recognition, determining the useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets, impairment analysis of finite-lived intangibles, goodwill and digital assets, stock-based compensation, and current and deferred income tax assets (including the associated valuation allowance) and liabilities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Accounts receivable | Accounts receivable Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from the Company’s Power, Digital Infrastructure, and Compute customers. The Company records accounts receivable at the invoiced amount less an allowance for any potentially uncollectable accounts under the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) impairment model and presents the net amount of the financial instrument expected to be collected. The CECL impairment model requires an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the contractual life of an instrument, that considers forecasts of future economic conditions in addition to information about past events and current conditions. Based on this model, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, collection history, and current economic trends. Bad debts are written off after all collection efforts have ceased. Allowances for credit losses are recorded as a direct reduction from an asset’s amortized cost basis. Credit losses are recorded in General and administrative expenses in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Based on the Company’s current and historical collection experience, management recorded allowances for doubtful accounts of $0.2 million and $0.2 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. |

Fair value measurement | Fair value measurement The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) which defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs when measuring fair value and classifies those inputs into three levels: Level 1— Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2— Observable, market-based inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the assets or liabilities either directly or indirectly. Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are based on the Company’s market assumptions. Unobservable inputs require significant management judgment or estimation. In some cases, the inputs used to measure an asset or a liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is required to be classified using the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Such determination requires significant management judgment. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the Company’s estimated level within the fair value hierarchy of those assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
In determining the fair value of its digital assets, the Company is able to cite quoted prices as determined by the Company’s principal market, which is the Coinbase exchange. As such, the Company’s digital assets were determined to be Level 1 assets. See Digital assets below for a description of the Company’s digital asset accounting policy. In estimating the fair value of its covered call options, the Company uses the Black model, which includes several inputs and assumptions, including the forward price of the underlying asset (Bitcoin), the underlying asset’s implied volatility, the risk-free interest rate, and the expected term of the options. The expected term of the options is the contractual term of the options given the options can only be exercised on their expiry date (i.e., European-style options). The Company previously used the Black-Scholes pricing model and reflected the observable forward price of the underlying asset in the estimation of fair value but now uses the Black model as the forward price of the underlying asset is a direct input of the Black model. The Company determined that the covered call options are Level 2 liabilities given all inputs are observable, but the options themselves are not traded in an active market. The Company estimates the fair value of its separated embedded derivative from convertible note, namely from the Company’s Coatue Note, using the partial differential equation model (“PDE Model”), which includes several inputs and assumptions including the Company’s common stock price at the time of valuation, the implied volatility of the Company’s common stock matching the moneyness of the conversion option, the risk-free interest rate curve, and the instrument’s estimated credit spread. In addition, management’s assumption of the probability of occurrence of the separated embedded derivative from the convertible note’s trigger event is a significant unobservable input. For quantitative disclosure on the inputs used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s separated embedded derivative from convertible note, see Note 11. Derivatives. The Company determined that the separated embedded derivative from convertible note is a Level 3 liability given significant unobservable inputs are included in its valuation. The Company estimates the fair value of its Bitcoin redemption option using the Black model, which includes several inputs and assumptions, including the forward price of the underlying asset (Bitcoin), the underlying asset’s implied volatility, the risk-free interest rate, and the expected term of the redemption option. The Company previously used the Black-Scholes pricing model and reflected the observable forward price of the underlying asset in the estimation of fair value but now uses the Black model as the forward price of the underlying asset is a direct input of the Black model. In addition, management’s assumption of the start of the redemption period, triggered by a shipment date of purchased property and equipment, was previously a significant unobservable input that has now resolved and is no longer a significant unobservable input. The Company previously determined that the Bitcoin redemption option was a Level 3 liability given a significant unobservable input was included in its valuation. As a result of the resolution of the previously significant unobservable input, the Company transferred the Bitcoin redemption option out of Level 3 into Level 2 during the six months ended June 30, 2025. See Derivatives below for a description of the Company’s derivative instrument accounting policy. The Company estimated the fair value of its other financial liability using the Probability-Weighted Expected Return Method (“PWERM”), which includes significant unobservable inputs, including the instrument’s estimated credit spread, and as a result, the Company determined that the other financial liability is a Level 3 liability. For quantitative disclosure on the inputs used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s other financial liability, see Note 10. Loans, notes payable, and other financial liabilities. See Other Financial liability for a description of the Company’s other financial liability accounting policy. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis In addition to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company also measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The Company’s non-financial assets, including goodwill, intangible assets, operating lease right-of-use assets, and property and equipment, are measured at fair value when there is an indication of impairment and the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s projected undiscounted cash flows. These assets are recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized. The Company had nil impairment from its continuing operations related to its non-financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. The Company had nil impairment on its discontinued operations related to the Drumheller site’s non-financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company recognized approximately nil and $6.1 million of impairment losses from its discontinued operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. See the Impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill accounting policy below, as well as Note 4. Discontinued operations for further discussion. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of loans and notes payable and other long-term liabilities approximate fair value as the related interest rates approximate rates currently available to the Company except for the Company’s convertible note. See Derivatives and Convertible instruments below for a description of the Company’s derivative instrument accounting policy and convertible instrument accounting policy, respectively, and Note 10. Loans, notes payable, and other financial liabilities for disclosure on the Company’s convertible note. |

Impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill | Impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill The Company reviews long-lived assets and goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets (or asset groups) may not be fully recoverable. The asset (or asset group) to be held and used that is subject to impairment review represents the lowest level of identifiable cash flows that is largely independent of other groups of assets and liabilities. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered unrecoverable, the impairment loss to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Factors the Company considers that could trigger an impairment include, but are not limited to, the following: significant changes in the manner of the Company’s use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the Company’s overall business, significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected development milestones, significant negative regulatory or economic trends, and significant technological changes that could render the asset (or asset group) obsolete. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third-party independent appraisals, as necessary. When recognized, impairment losses related to long-lived assets to be held and used in operations are recorded as cost and expenses in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, there was nil impairment from continuing operations. For the discontinued operations, there were nil impairment losses pertaining to the Company’s asset groups for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024. There were nil and $6.1 million of impairment losses pertaining to the Company’s asset groups for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. |

Derivatives | Derivatives The Company accounts for the derivative contracts it enters into and the separated embedded derivative from the convertible note as follows: Bitcoin redemption option The Company has entered into an agreement to purchase property and equipment that includes a pledge of Bitcoin and a right to redeem the pledged Bitcoin for a certain period after the redemption period starts. The redemption period starts when the purchased property and equipment is shipped. The amount of Bitcoin that can be redeemed is pro-rata of the percentage of property and equipment shipped. This Bitcoin redemption option does not qualify as an accounting hedge under FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Accordingly, the Company carries the Bitcoin redemption option at fair value and any gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss, respectively. Covered call options From time to time, the Company has sold options on Bitcoin that it owns (the “covered call options”) to generate cash flows on a portion of its Bitcoin held. These options do not qualify as accounting hedges under ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company carries the covered call options at fair value and any gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss, respectively. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Convertible instruments | Convertible instruments As noted above in the Company’s Derivatives accounting policy, various embedded derivatives were identified in a convertible instrument and were evaluated and accounted for in accordance with ASC 815. If an embedded derivative is separated from its host contract, the debt host contract is discounted by the initial fair value of the separated embedded derivative and is offset by issuance costs associated with the host contract. The Company accounts for its host contract, whose embedded derivative becomes separated, subsequently at amortized cost, and the discount and issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the host contract using the effective interest method. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Other financial liability | Other financial liability The Company carries its other financial liability at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and any gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss, respectively. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Income taxes | Income taxes The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recorded if it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In evaluating whether a valuation allowance is needed, we consider all relevant evidence, including past performance, recent cumulative losses, projections of future taxable income, and the viability of tax planning strategies. If we subsequently determine that there is sufficient evidence to indicate a deferred tax asset will be realized, the associated valuation allowance is reversed. The Company will recognize positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return in the Consolidated Financial Statements when it is more-likely-than-not that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit with greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company will recognize any interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. There were no interest or penalties related to income taxes that have been accrued or recognized as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. |

Net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders | Net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders As of periods beginning on or after July 1, 2023, the Company no longer had participating securities other than common stock. As such, the Company no longer was required to calculate earnings per share under the two-class method. Basic net (loss) income per share of common stock from continuing operations attributable to the Company and basic net loss per share of common stock from discontinued operations attributable to the Company are computed by dividing net (loss) income from continuing operations attributable to the Company adjusted for the impact of subsidiary warrants exercisable for little or no cash consideration (“Penny Warrant(s)”) issued by a consolidated subsidiary and net loss from discontinued operations attributable to the Company, respectively, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) income per share of common stock from continuing operations attributable to the Company is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive shares of common stock, including stock options, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance stock units, and common stock purchase warrants to the extent dilutive under the treasury-stock method, and potential shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Company’s convertible note under the if-converted method. Under the if-converted method, net (loss) income from continuing operations attributable to the Company is adjusted by the effect, net of tax, of potentially dilutive shares computed under this method. Contingently issuable shares whose issuance is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions are considered outstanding and included in the computation of diluted net (loss) income per share of common stock from continuing operations attributable to the Company if all necessary conditions have been satisfied by the end of the period or if the end of the period is deemed the end of the contingently issuable shares’ contingency period. In computing potentially dilutive shares of common stock, each class of shares is applied to basic net (loss) income per share of common stock from continuing operations attributable to the Company on a most to least dilutive basis until a particular class no longer produces further dilution, if applicable. Diluted net loss per share of common stock from discontinued operations attributable to the Company is computed by using the same denominator used to calculate diluted net (loss) income per share of common stock from continuing operations attributable to the Company, as previously noted. |

Non-controlling interests | Non-controlling interests Non-controlling interests represent the portion of net assets in consolidated entities that are not owned by the Company and are reported as a component of equity on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2025, non-controlling interests on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of the 19.90% ownership by a non-affiliated party in Far North and 34.31% ownership by non-affiliated parties in American Bitcoin Corp. For more details, refer to Note 3. Acquisition of American Bitcoin Corp. and Non-Controlling interest section in Note 13. Stockholders’ equity. |
