Estimates Context
- S&P Global (SPGI) shows limited or no active consensus coverage for GREE in Q1 2025; Primary EPS Consensus Mean and the count of estimates were unavailable, making beat/miss analysis vs. Street estimates impractical. Revenue and EBITDA entries reflect actuals rather than consensus [GetEstimates].
- Implication: Portfolio managers should anchor evaluation on company-reported segment dynamics and operational KPIs rather than consensus comparisons this quarter.

Key Takeaways for Investors
- The sharp sequential revenue increase (+29.7%) was powered by exceptional power/capacity sales amid winter grid demand, while hosting contracted and BTC production declined; expect subsequent quarters to normalize segment mix as capacity additions roll in .
- Efficiency improvements (23.8 J/TH) and ongoing miner upgrades support medium-term margin potential; however, near-term profitability remains constrained (EBITDA $0.4M, Adjusted EBITDA $1.0M) .
- Balance sheet actions are material: senior unsecured debt cut to $60.2M; aggregate principal debt at $66.7M; cash declined to $4.9M—liquidity needs and asset monetization timing remain key watch items .
- Strategic pipeline: Mississippi site purchase (40MW by July 2026) and +2.5MW near-term capacity may expand self-mining economics; board refresh aims to accelerate value-maximizing transactions .
- With limited Street coverage, trade the story on operational progress (power monetization, efficiency gains) and balance sheet catalysts (debt exchanges, asset sale closing) rather than headline beats/misses [GetEstimates] .
- Monitor: closing of South Carolina property sale, execution on Mississippi build-out, any updates on Dresden permit renewal, and capital structure actions (including ELOC stance and further exchanges) .
- Risk factors: Profitability sensitivity to power market conditions and BTC price/production; hosting revenue volatility; liquidity and debt service headwinds until further deleveraging is achieved .
