Core Scientific strikes digital gold: Revenue up 800%, gross profit up 2500%
U.S. Bitcoin mining firm Core Scientific has posted bullish 2021 fiscal year results compared to the year prior, with its revenue increasing by 803% to $544.5 million and gross profit growing 2,443% to $238.9 million.
The major BTC miner highlighted growth in hash rate, mining equipment sales, hosting revenue, digital asset mining income as key reasons for the improved performance. The booming price of Bitcoin (BTC) no doubt also played a part.
The results were announced on March 29 and show a total net income (take-home after expenses) totaling $47.3 million last year. The figure marks a drastic increase from the net loss of $12.2 million seen in 2020.
In terms of Core Scientific’s revenue streams, hosting revenue increased 91% from 2020 to $79.3 million in 2021, equipment sales increased by 1,871% to $248.2 million and digital asset mining income grew 3,440%, to $216.9 million.
Core Scientific CEO Mike Levitt said that the firm’s BTC mining hash rate increased “from less than 3.0 EH/s at year-end 2020 to 13.5 EH/s at year-end 2021” which resulted in more than 5,700 mined BTC.
Looking forward, Levitt stated that the company is on track to meet its expansion plans in 2022:
While the firm posted strong increases across the board, the trend also occurred on the expenses side of the equation, with the cost of revenue increasing by 500% to $305.6 million and net income being partially offset by $41.3 million worth of “non-operating expenses related to our convertible notes” and a $14.6 million increase in interest expense from financing arrangements.
