3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).

To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation.

The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers its goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange.

The Company is a strategic asset company (SAC) focused on active participation in Ethereum (ETH) infrastructure while winding down its digital asset mining business and through its majority-owned subsidiary, WhiteFiber, high performance computing (“HPC”) business, including cloud services and colocation services through its operation of HPC data centers.

In June 2025, the Company announced that it had initiated a strategic transition to become a pure play ETH staking and treasury company. In connection with the transition, the Company intends to convert its BTC holdings into ETH over time and has commenced a strategic alternatives process for its bitcoin mining operations, which is expected to result in a sale or wind-down, with any net proceeds to be re-deployed into ETH.

Disaggregation of revenues

Revenue disaggregated by reportable segment is presented in Note 20. Segment Reporting.

Cloud services

The Company provides cloud services to support customers’ generative AI workstreams. We have determined that cloud services are a single continuous service comprised of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer (i.e. distinct days of service).

These services are consumed as they are received, and the Company recognizes revenue over time using the variable allocation exception as it satisfies performance obligations. We apply this exception because we concluded that the nature of our obligations and the variability of the payment terms based on the number of GPUs providing HPC services are aligned and uncertainty related to the consideration is resolved on a daily basis as we satisfy our obligations. The Company recognizes revenue net of consideration payable to customers, such as service credits, and accounted for as a reduction of the transaction price in accordance with guidance in ASC 606-10-32-25.

The Company’s cloud services revenue has been generated from Iceland. Beginning in March 2026, the Company generated an immaterial amount of revenue in Canada, representing a small portion of total revenue, through services provided to a third-party customer following the deployment of the GPU server in one of its Canadian data centers.

Data center/Colocation services

Colocation services generate revenue from Canada by providing customers with physical space, power, and cooling within the data center facility.

Our revenue is primarily derived from recurring revenue streams, mainly (1) colocation, which is the leasing of cabinet space and power and (2) connectivity services, which includes cross-connects. Additionally, the remainder of our revenue is from non-recurring revenue, which primarily includes installation services related to a customer’s initial deployment.

Revenues from recurring revenue streams are billed monthly and recognized ratably over the term of the contract, generally one to five years for data center colocation customers. Non-recurring installation fees, although generally paid upfront upon installation, are deferred and recognized ratably over the contract term.

We guarantee certain service levels, such as uptime, as outlined in individual customer contracts. If these service levels are not achieved due to any failure of the physical infrastructure or offerings, or in the event of certain instances of damage to customer infrastructure within our data center, we would reduce revenue for any credits or cash payments given to the customer.

Digital asset mining

The Company enters in contracts with mining pool operators to provide computing power to digital asset mining pools. Providing computing power for digital asset transaction verification services is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The provision of such computing power is the only performance obligation in the Company’s contracts with mining pool operators.

Contract inception and the Company’s enforceable right to consideration begin when the Company commences providing hash calculation services to the mining pool operators. Each party to the contract has the unilateral right to terminate the contract at any time without any compensation to the other party for such termination. As such, the duration of a contract is less than 24 hours (one day) and may be continuously renewed throughout the day. The implied renewal option is not a material right because there are no upfront or incremental fees in the initial contract, and the rate of payments remains the same upon each implied renewal, as the Full-Pay-Per-Share (FPPS) formula remains the same. The Company is entitled to compensation once it begins to perform hash calculations for the pool operator in accordance with the operator’s specifications over a 24-hour period beginning 00:00:00 UTC and ending 23:59:59 on a daily basis. In exchange for providing computing power, the Company is entitled to a fractional share of the fixed digital assets award the mining pool operator receives, for successfully adding a block to the blockchain. The Company’s fractional share is based on the proportion of computing power the Company contributed to the mining pool operator to the total computing power contributed by all mining pool participants in solving the current algorithm. The Company is entitled to its relative share of consideration even if a block is not successfully placed.

The transaction consideration the Company receives, if any, is noncash consideration in the form of digital assets, net of pool fees charged by the mining pool operator. The Company estimates the fair value of noncash consideration at contract inception. This non-cash consideration is variable since the amount of block reward earned depends on the Company’s hash rate provided and transaction fees depend on the actual Bitcoin Network transaction fees. While the non-cash consideration is variable, the payout is settled the next day on a daily basis and the Company has the ability to estimate the variable consideration with reasonable certainty, without the risk of significant revenue reversal because it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of revenue recognized from the contract will not occur when the uncertainty is subsequently resolved.

Revenue is recognized on the same day that control of the contracted service transfers to the mining pool operator, which is the same day as contract inception. Revenue is estimated and recognized based on the spot price of Bitcoin determined using the Company’s Principal Market at 0:00:00 UTC on the date of contract inception.

Below table presents the Company’s revenues generated from digital asset mining business from Foundry USA Pool by country:

ETH staking business  

The Company generates revenue through ETH staking rewards. The Company commenced both native staking business and liquid staking business in 2022. In the first quarter of 2024, the Company terminated its liquid staking business. In July 2025, we resumed liquid staking through Liquid Collective protocol with 5,120 ETH and ceased such activities in October 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company liquid staked 73,235 ETH and received 66,192 LsETH, a portion of which was subsequently pledged as collateral under certain borrowing arrangements during the period. See Note 13 “Debt – Collateralized Borrowing” for additional information.

With the introduction of staked ETH withdrawals in April 2023, we have reassessed our Ethereum network staking approaches, weighing the advantages of traditional staking against liquid staking solutions. The withdrawal feature in native staking, coupled with yields that are on par with those of liquid staking, has encouraged us to expand our collaborations with other service providers in this domain. As a result, we have terminated all liquid staking activities with StakeWise and Liquid Collection in the third quarter of 2023 and in the first quarter of 2024, respectively, reclaiming all staked Ethereum along with the accumulated rewards. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company terminated the native staking activities and reclaimed all staked Ethereum with Blockdaemon. Subsequently, we have ceased our native staking with MarsLand in the first quarter of 2024 and initiated our native staking with Figment Inc.

(a) Native staking

The Company participates in native staking solely as a delegator through a third-party validator. Under this arrangement, the Company delegates ETH directly to the validator, which operates nodes on the Ethereum network to validate transactions and propose new blocks. In exchange for participating in the staking process, the Company is entitled to receive staking rewards, consisting of newly issued ETH and transaction fees, generally based on the amount of ETH delegated by the Company.

To participate in native staking, the Company’s ETH is deposited into the Ethereum staking deposit smart contract in accordance with the protocol requirements. Although the ETH is committed to the staking protocol, the Company retains control of the underlying digital assets. The deposited ETH is not transferred to the validator or any other counterparty, and neither the validator nor any other party obtains the ability to sell, pledge, lend, or otherwise direct the use of the Company’s staked ETH.

The withdrawal credentials associated with the staked ETH are designated to the Company’s custodian holds the Company’s digital assets solely for the Company’s benefit and does not obtain control over those assets through its custodial services. Accordingly, the Company concludes that native staked ETH continue to meet the criteria for recognition as its assets and are not derecognized upon deposit into the Ethereum staking deposit contract.

Rewards earned from native staking activities are recognized as revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The Company’s delegation of ETH to the validator represents an output of its ordinary activities. Under the staking arrangement, the Company provides the validator with the right to use the Company’s delegated ETH in the validation process and, in exchange, is entitled to receive variable consideration in the form of ETH. The noncash consideration is measured at the fair value of ETH at contract inception using quoted prices on the Coinbase exchange, which the Company has determined to be its principal market.

Revenue is recognized at the point in time when the Ethereum network confirms completion of the validation activities and the Company’s right to the staking rewards is established. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the protocol rewards to which the Company is entitled under the staking arrangement.

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had native staked 74,167 ETH and 138,263 ETH, respectively, on the Ethereum blockchain.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company earned 1,389.2 ETH through native staking and recognized native staking revenue of $3.2 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company earned 377.8 ETH through native staking and recognized native staking revenues of $0.9 million. 

(b) Liquid staking

The Company also participates in liquid staking arrangements through Liquid Collective. Under this arrangement, the Company contributes ETH to the Liquid Collective staking protocol, and LsETH is minted and received in return. LsETH represents the Company’s interest in the underlying staked ETH and the related staking rewards.

LsETH is accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset in accordance with ASC 350-30, changes in LsETH’s fair value while the Company remains staked with the liquid staking, are not recognized. There is no ongoing performance obligation following the staking of ETH through the liquid staking. LsETH is a non-rebasing token, and accordingly, the quantity of LsETH held by the Company does not increase as staking rewards accrue.

Staking rewards associated with LsETH are recognized only upon redemption of LsETH for the underlying ETH, at which time the Company becomes entitled to the accumulated staking rewards. The noncash consideration is measured at the fair value of ETH at contract inception, which corresponds to the date the underlying ETH was initially contributed to the Liquid Collective staking arrangement. Staking rewards recognized upon redemption of LsETH are presented within “other (expense) income, net” in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company generated revenues of $nil and $nil, respectively, from the liquid staking.

Upon staking ETH through the liquid staking protocol, the ETH is derecognized because the protocol obtains the ability to deploy and direct its use, and the LsETH token is received and recognized concurrently. Any gain or loss on the staking transaction is recognized in accordance with ASC 610-20, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (“ASC 610-20”), based on the difference between the carrying amount of the ETH staked and the fair value of the LsETH received, and is included in “Gains (losses) on digital assets” in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company liquid staked ETH and received LsETH and recognized a realized gain of $13.8 million from staking ETH and receiving LsETH in exchange.

Contract costs

The Company capitalizes commission expenses directly related to obtaining customer contracts, which would not have been incurred if the contract had not been obtained. As of June 30, 2026, capitalized costs to obtain a contract totaled $24.2 million, and the outstanding commission expense payable was $12.3 million, which is included within Other payables and accrued liabilities. As of December 31, 2025, capitalized costs to obtain a contract totaled $25.2 million, and the outstanding commission expense payable was $13.7 million.

Contract assets

Contract assets primarily consist of revenue allocated to complimentary services provided to customers as part of contractual arrangements. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no contract assets.

Contract liabilities

The Company’s contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and customer deposits. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, contract liabilities were $143.1 million and $79.6 million, respectively.

During the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, $0.7 million and $11.4 million, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, $1.4 million and $22.5 million, respectively, of the beginning balance of contract liabilities was recognized as revenue.

Remaining performance obligation

The following table presents estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to the unsatisfied portion of the performance obligation as of June 30, 2026:

The amounts presented in the table above exclude variable consideration allocated entirely to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations. Such amounts have been excluded from the disclosure of remaining performance obligations in accordance with ASC 606, as the consideration is not fixed and determinable.

During the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, $4.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, $9.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively, were recognized as revenue as a result of satisfying performance obligations in previous periods.
