"In May, Riot made significant progress across our bitcoin mining and data center platforms," said Jason Les, CEO of Riot. "Riot mined 514 bitcoin in May, an 11% increase over the previous month, and we will continue to prioritize operational excellence as we head into the summer months in Texas and Kentucky.

"Riot also achieved key milestones in our data center platform in May. During the month, Riot successfully closed on the acquisition of 355 acres in near proximity to our Corsicana site. This additional land will further support the development of data centers to serve high performance compute, which typically require larger footprints than bitcoin mining to utilize the same power capacity. We will continue to look to strategically add additional land parcels to ensure that our Corsicana site is ideally suited to support designs for data centers that serve the needs of hyperscale and enterprise tenants.

"Riot has also made several key experienced hires from the data center industry to further enhance our internal development expertise, including the recently announced hiring of Jonathan Gibbs as Chief Data Center Officer. In this role, Jonathan will lead the strategic development and operations of our new data center platform, which will focus on building and operating state-of-the-art data centers specifically tailored to serve hyperscale and enterprise tenants. Jonathan is a veteran of the data center industry and brings deep experience in leading the design and development of large-scale data centers totaling more than one gigawatt of capacity."
