Riot Platforms is flipping the script. Q3 2025 results show Riot Platforms delivering $180.2M in revenue and producing 1,406 Bitcoin in the quarter [1][9]. That mining momentum funds a rapid pivot into large-scale data centers and AI compute, starting with the Corsicana project [4].

Q3 Snapshot Profitability and scale follow. Net income swings to $104.5M with Adjusted EBITDA of $197.2M [1]. Hash rate deployed climbs to 36.5 EH/s and power cost averages 3.2 cents/kWh; the all-in cost to mine 1 Bitcoin sits at about $89,074 [1].

Corsicana Pivot & Capex Corsicana data-center push: Core and shell development for two 112 MW buildings underway; forecast $214M capex over the next 18 months [4]. Riot also bought an adjacent 67-acre parcel to support full 1 GW capacity [8].

AI Demand & Engineering Backstop AI demand for power is accelerating, according to CEO Jason Les on the Q3 earnings call [5]. The in-house engineering capability, boosted by the ESS Metron integration and the E4A Solutions acquisition, underpins the build-out [1].

Closing thought: Riot’s mining cash flow is funding a bold data-center/AI compute push, but the real test will be tenant commitments and actual AI compute demand turning into steady revenue.
