Stamford, Connecticut--(Newsfile Corp. - March 18, 2025) - Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ: ANY) ("Sphere 3D" or the "Company") today announced that its newest Bitcoin mining site in Iowa is officially online. This milestone represents a significant strategic shift for the Company as it moves away from hosted and third-party mining operations toward full ownership and control of its infrastructure.
By directly managing its infrastructure and energy procurement, the Company is poised to significantly improve efficiency and increase profit margins, leveraging historically low energy prices below $4 per MWh. The transition to a vertically integrated model allows Sphere 3D to directly control power procurement, optimize operational efficiency, and enhance long-term scalability. By owning the facility end-to-end, the Company gains greater flexibility over its cost structure and energy strategy, positioning itself for sustainable growth in an evolving market.
"This launch marks a pivotal moment for our Company," said Kurt Kalbfleisch, Acting CEO of Sphere 3D. "By taking full control of our mining infrastructure, we can operate more efficiently, improve margins, and future-proof our business against shifting industry dynamics. Vertical integration is the next step in our evolution and strengthens our ability to thrive in an increasingly competitive Bitcoin mining landscape."
As Bitcoin mining continues to evolve, Sphere 3D remains committed to scaling its operations, improving efficiency, and maintaining its leadership in high-margin, sustainable mining practices. The launch of this facility marks the beginning of a new growth phase, as the Company explores additional opportunities to expand its vertically integrated model in strategic locations.
