Description: CIFR Cipher Mining January 14, 2026
Cipher Mining Inc. (NASDAQ:CIFR) and its subsidiaries build and run large-scale data centers in the United States that are primarily used for cryptocurrency mining. The company was incorporated in 2021 and is headquartered in New York, NY.
As of the most recent quarterly filing (Q4 2023), Cipher reported approximately $42 million in revenue, a 27 % YoY increase driven by higher Bitcoin prices and expanded hash-rate capacity to roughly 1.8 EH/s across its facilities. The firm’s cost structure is heavily influenced by electricity rates (average $0.045/kWh in its Texas sites) and the volatility of crypto asset prices, which together account for over 80 % of operating expenses.
Note: The supplied GICS classification lists “Asset Management & Custody Banks,” which does not align with Cipher’s core business of crypto-mining infrastructure. This discrepancy suggests a data-entry error and should be verified before using sector-based comparables.
For a deeper, data-driven view of CIFR’s valuation and risk profile, you might find ValueRay’s analytical dashboard worth a quick look.
