Riot Q1: Data Center Shone with 33.2M$ Revenue
Riot Platforms materialized its move away from Bitcoin mining by reporting 33.2 million dollars in revenue from data center operations in the first quarter. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) announced in the companys earnings report that it has increased the capacity contract to 50 megawatts, with this development standing out. While total revenue reached 167.2 million dollars, the mining segment declined, and the data center segment supported revenue by 20%.
