The company aims to transform into a vertically integrated digital energy and infrastructure entity, focusing on enhancing operational control and cost efficiency.
CEO Jason Les highlighted the significant progress in Riot's mining and data center platforms, emphasizing operational excellence as they approach summer.

All three companies, including MARA, Riot, and CleanSpark, are adapting to the post-halving market by enhancing infrastructure and strategic treasury management.
