Bottom line
The sleeper story is that AI revenue exploded 133% but management buried it while mysteriously dropping every quality metric they used to tout. Yes, they delivered record Bitcoin mining results, but they're walking away from that proven cash cow to chase AI dreams without a single contracted customer disclosed. The binding constraint isn't technology or power, it's that they have zero proven AI demand beyond $7M quarterly revenue while burning $114M in OpEx. Management's tell: 'We discovered we're building rack densities that are too dense for where the industry is today', translation: we built something nobody actually wants yet. My view changes if they announce a hyperscaler anchor for Horizon 1 with a 10+ year contract.

The 30-second version

  • The real story: GPU cloud revenue quietly exploded 133% QoQ to $7M while management buried it in Bitcoin noise
  • 50 exahash Bitcoin mining delivers $1B+ annualized revenue, but they're pausing expansion to chase AI
  • 10,000 GPUs 'coming months' but zero contracted revenue disclosed
