BITMINE IMMERSION TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (BMNR)·Q3 2024 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

  • Revenue increased 37% sequentially to $1.225M in Q3 (three months ended May 31, 2024), driven by higher Bitcoin prices and a 6-week lease of 777 miners pre-halving; YoY growth cited at 862% by management .
  • Gross profit was $0.222M and net loss narrowed to $0.654M (EPS $(0.01)), improving from $(0.903M) in Q2 as operating losses moderated .
  • Management highlighted a transformer sale (50% deposit received) with revenue recognition expected upon final delivery in August 2024, and ongoing discussions to uplist via a capital raise; also pursuing shareholder‑friendly mergers .
  • Wall Street consensus estimates via S&P Global were unavailable; no formal beat/miss analysis can be presented this quarter.

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

  • Revenue rose 37% QoQ to $1.225M, supported by higher Bitcoin prices and a short‑term lease of 777 miners adding ~$319K revenue ahead of the April 19 halving .
  • Operations stabilized across Trinidad, Pecos (TX), and Murray (KY), enabling sustained self‑mining and incremental hosting revenue in Q3 .
  • Management is engaging investment banks for a potential uplisting and evaluating merger opportunities: “We continue to speak with several investment banks… uplist… evaluating shareholder-friendly merger discussions” .

What Went Wrong

  • Gross margin compressed to ~$0.222M (from ~$0.324M in Q2) as halving dynamics and lease economics lifted cost of revenues; total operating expenses were $0.756M in Q3 vs $0.972M in Q2, but other expenses remained elevated .
  • Self‑mining revenue in Q2 (prior quarter) of $0.861M missed the company’s earlier guidance of ~$0.925–$0.950M for that quarter (ending Feb 29, 2024) .
  • Continued net losses and reliance on related-party financing (IDI LOC $1.625M principal outstanding at Q3) underscore funding needs despite the potential transformer sale and notes receivable .

Earnings Call Themes & Trends

(Company did not file an earnings call transcript for Q3 2024; themes below reflect MD&A and press release narratives.)

TopicPrevious Mentions (Q1 & Q2)Current Period (Q3)Trend
Bitcoin halving impactExpected halving to reduce block rewards by 50%; ordinals fees offset; elevated difficulty and hash rate Halving occurred April 19; short-term lease of 777 miners added ~$319k pre-halving revenue Transition management; emphasis on fee dynamics
Ordinals/Transaction feesGrowing share of mining revenue; risk if eliminated Continued acknowledgement that transaction fees lift revenue Supportive but uncertain
Site operations (Trinidad)Electrification resolved; very low power pricing (3.5¢/kWh) 148 miners at TSTT; migration plans ongoing Operationally improving
Pecos JV (ROC Digital)JV power agreement; initial losses; hosting capacity challenges JV losses continue; note receivable amortizing; capacity being refilled Mixed, focused on utilization
Murray, KY hosting1,050 miners; low power cost (2.5¢/kWh); 83% uptime guarantee Added 45 miners in May; fee-sharing terms continue Scaling modestly
Capital raising/uplistingExploring alternatives; engaged banker Active discussions to uplist; mergers under evaluation Increasingly strategic

Management Commentary

  • “We leased 777 additional machines for the 6-week period prior to the April 19, 2024 bitcoin halving, which generated an additional $319,000 of revenue… Revenues were also positively impacted… by an increase in the price of bitcoin.”
  • “We continue to speak with several investment banks regarding an offering that would enable the Company to uplist from the OTCQX to the NASDAQ or the NYSE/AMEX. We are also evaluating several possible shareholder-friendly merger discussions…”
  • Halving context and fee dynamics: “The halving reduced the block rewards from mining by exactly 50%. However… transaction fees have made up an ever-increasing share of mining revenue due to the impact of ‘ordinals’…” (see also prior quarter background ).

Q&A Highlights

No Q3 2024 earnings call transcript was found; no formal Q&A available for this quarter [ListDocuments: 36 only].

Estimates Context

  • S&P Global/Capital IQ consensus estimates were unavailable for BMNR this quarter; as a micro-cap OTC issuer, formal Street coverage appears limited. As a result, we cannot present a beat/miss versus consensus for revenue or EPS this period.

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Revenue momentum: +37% QoQ to $1.225M, aided by pre‑halving leasing and better BTC pricing; however, gross margin compressed versus Q2, highlighting cost sensitivity and mix effects .
  • Operating leverage improving: Operating loss narrowed to $(0.535M); net loss $(0.654M), EPS $(0.01) — watch trajectory as sites stabilize and unit economics adjust post‑halving .
  • BTC fee tailwinds: Ordinals/transaction fees remain pivotal; any protocol change could impair revenue — monitor chain policy discussions closely .
  • Balance sheet/liquidity: Reliance on related-party line ($1.625M principal) and notes receivable cash flows; transformer sale recognition in Aug 2024 could provide near-term revenue uplift .
  • Strategy: Management pursuing uplisting and potential mergers; equity financing could be dilutive but may accelerate scaling and institutional visibility .
  • Site/unit economics: Low-cost Murray, KY (2.5¢/kWh) and Trinidad (3.5¢/kWh or reserve structure) underpin competitive cost base; utilization and uptime drive cash generation .
  • Trading implications: Near-term stock narrative likely tracks BTC price/fees, pre‑announced transformer revenue timing, and capital markets updates; medium-term thesis hinges on scaling self‑mining/hosting at favorable power rates and disciplined capex .
