Cipher Mining Inc. (NASDAQ:CIFR) is a New-York-based developer and operator of industrial-scale data centers focused on cryptocurrency mining. Founded in 2021, the firm’s business model centers on deploying high-efficiency mining hardware in locations with low-cost power, aiming to capture upside from Bitcoin price movements.
Recent performance metrics show the company generated roughly $45 million in revenue for Q4 2025, while operating at a net loss of $12 million due largely to elevated energy costs and depreciation of mining equipment. Cipher’s total hash-rate now sits near 1.2 EH/s, and its average power cost has been trimmed to about $0.04 per kWh after securing long-term renewable-energy contracts.
The crypto-mining sector remains highly sensitive to Bitcoin’s price (trading around $28,000) and to regulatory developments surrounding energy consumption. As the industry pivots toward greener power sources, Cipher’s focus on renewable-energy-backed sites could become a competitive advantage.
