Cipher Digital (CIFR)
Overview: Cipher Digital develops and operates industrial scale US data centers that primarily mine Bitcoin and increasingly host high performance computing workloads for large hyperscale clients. The company aims to turn power capacity into recurring digital infrastructure revenue.
Operations: Cipher Digital currently generates about US$209.8 million in revenue from Bitcoin mining in the United States.
