Riot Platforms reported $167.2 million in revenue for the first quarter of 2026. The company’s newly launched data center division generated $33.2 million, helping offset weaker Bitcoin mining results. The report highlights Riot’s ongoing shift toward AI and high-performance computing infrastructure.
Bitcoin mining remained the company’s primary business, but revenue from the segment declined to $111.9 million from $142.9 million a year earlier.
The firm claimed the decline on a 24% rise in the global network hashrate and lower average Bitcoin values.
Riot mined 1,473 BTC during that time, as opposed to 1,530 BTC in the first quarter of 2025.
In terms of infrastructure growth, Riot’s contractual hashing power has increased to 50 megawatts after partner AMD exercised its option to add a further 25 megawatts of capacity.
The company emphasized in its strategic outlook that it is continuously transitioning toward the role of a data center operator. At the end of the quarter, Riot held a sizable stockpile of around 15,679 bitcoins.
Many miners are converting their facilities into AI-focused computer centers these days. Existing access to power and cooling infrastructure provides a competitive advantage. Long-term infrastructure contracts also offer more predictable cash flow.
