Stronghold Announces Third Quarter 2024 Operating and Financial Results


NEW YORK, November 13, 2024 – Stronghold Digital Mining, Inc. (NASDAQ: SDIG) (“Stronghold”, the “Company”, or “we”) today announced the following:

Recent Financial Highlights
•Revenues of $11.2 million, down 42% sequentially and 37% year-over-year. Revenues comprised $10.6 million from cryptocurrency operations and $0.5 million from the sale of energy.
•GAAP Net Loss of $22.7 million and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA Loss of $5.5 million.

Merger Agreement with Bitfarms
On August 21, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Bitfarms Ltd., a corporation incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act and continued under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (“Bitfarms”) and certain affiliates of Bitfarms. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Stronghold shareholders will receive 2.52 common shares of Bitfarms for each share of Stronghold common stock that they own. The Merger Agreement has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025, subject to the receipt of Stronghold shareholder approval, applicable regulatory approvals, certain third-party consents and other customary closing conditions.
Bitfarms Hosting Agreements
On September 12, 2024, Stronghold Digital Mining Hosting, LLC (“Stronghold Hosting”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company entered into a Hosting Agreement (the “First Hosting Agreement”) with Bitfarms, pursuant to which Stronghold Hosting will host 10,000 Bitmain T21 Bitcoin miners owned by Bitfarms (the “Bitfarms Miners”) at the Company’s Panther Creek site. The Company has received a portion of the Bitfarms Miners to date and expects to receive the remaining Bitfarms Miners during November and December 2024. The First Hosting Agreement has an initial term expiring on December 31, 2025, after which it will automatically renew for additional one-year periods unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal. Pursuant to the First Hosting Agreement, Bitfarms will pay Stronghold fifty percent of the profit generated by the Bitfarms miners, subject to certain monthly adjustments. In connection with the execution of the First Hosting Agreement, Bitfarms also deposited with Stronghold $7.8 million, equal to the estimated cost of power for three months of operations of the Bitfarms Miners, which will be refundable in full to Bitfarms within one business day of the end of the initial term expiring on December 31, 2025.
On October 29, 2024, Stronghold Hosting entered into another Hosting Agreement (the “Second Hosting Agreement”) with Bitfarms, pursuant to which Stronghold Hosting will host 10,000 Bitmain T21 miners owned by Bitfarms (the “Second Bitfarms Miners”) at the Company’s Scrubgrass site. The Company expects to begin receiving the Second Bitfarms Miners in late December 2024, or early


January 2025. The initial term of the Second Hosting Agreement will expire on December 31, 2025, after which it will automatically renew for additional one-year periods unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal. Pursuant to the Second Hosting Agreement, Bitfarms will pay Stronghold fifty percent of the profit generated by the Second Bitfarms Miners, subject to certain monthly adjustments. In connection with the execution of the Second Hosting Agreement, Bitfarms also deposited with Stronghold $7.8 million, equal to the estimated cost of power for three months of operations of the Second Bitfarms Miners, which will be refundable in full to Bitfarms at the end of the initial term.
Bitcoin Mining Update
During the third quarter of 2024, Stronghold generated 188 Bitcoin, and approximately $0.5 million of energy revenues, which represented the equivalent of 8 Bitcoin at the average price of Bitcoin during the period, for a total of 196 Bitcoin equivalents. This represents an approximately 35% decrease versus the Bitcoin-equivalent production during the second quarter of 2024, which was primarily a result of the Bitcoin halving that occurred on April 19, 2024, that caused a reduction in the block subsidy from 6.25 Bitcoin to 3.125 Bitcoin.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2024, and November 8, 2024, the Company had approximately $5.1 million and $6.7 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents and Bitcoin on our balance sheet, which included 10 Bitcoin and 4 Bitcoin, respectively. Additionally, Stronghold has approximately $2.6 million of contracted receivables that it expects to receive in the next 30 days related to the sale of its 2023 waste coal tax credits. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had principal amount of outstanding indebtedness of approximately $53.7 million and approximately $3.4 million of capacity remaining under its at-the-market offering agreement (the “ATM”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC. The Company has not sold any of its shares under the ATM during 2024.
Conference Call
Stronghold will host a conference call today, November 13, 2024, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time (5:30 a.m. Pacific Time) to discuss these results. To participate, a live webcast of the call will be available on the Investor Relations page of the Company’s website at ir.strongholddigitalmining.com.

Forward-looking statements and the business prospects of Stronghold are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause Stronghold’s actual results in future periods to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, including with respect to its potential carbon capture initiative and with respect to completing a strategic review process or entering into a transaction. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things: the hybrid nature of our business model, which is highly dependent on the price of Bitcoin; our dependence on the level of demand and financial performance of the crypto asset industry; our ability to manage growth, business, financial results and results of operations; uncertainty regarding our evolving business model; our ability to retain management and key personnel and the integration of new management; our ability to raise capital to fund business growth; our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund operations, growth and acquisitions; our substantial indebtedness and its effect on our results of operations and our financial condition; uncertainty regarding the outcomes of any investigations or proceedings; our ability to enter into purchase agreements, acquisitions and financing transactions; our ability to procure crypto asset mining equipment from foreign-based suppliers; our ability to maintain our relationships with our third-party brokers and our dependence on their performance; our ability to procure crypto asset mining equipment including to upgrade our current fleet; developments and changes in laws and regulations, including increased regulation of the crypto asset industry through legislative action and revised rules and standards applied by The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network under the authority of the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act and the Investment Company Act; the future acceptance and/or widespread use of, and demand for, Bitcoin and other crypto assets; our ability to respond to price fluctuations and rapidly changing technology; our ability to operate our coal refuse power generation facilities as planned; our ability to remain listed on a stock exchange and maintain an active trading market; our ability to avail ourselves of tax credits for the clean-up of coal refuse piles; legislative or regulatory changes, and liability under, or any future inability to comply with, existing or future energy regulations or requirements; our ability to replicate and scale the carbon capture project; our ability to manage costs related to the carbon capture project; our ability to monetize our carbon capture project, including through the private market; our ability to qualify for, obtain, monetize or otherwise benefit from the Puro registry and Section 45Q tax credits; our ability to qualify for demand response programs; our ability to qualify as PJM “In Network” load; our ability to prepare our sites for and execute on GPU computing initiatives; our ability to expand the power capacity at our sites; the risk that the merger may not be completed on the anticipated terms in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect our business and the price of Class A common stock; the failure to satisfy any of the conditions to the consummation of the merger, including obtaining required stockholder and regulatory approvals; potential litigation relating to the merger that could be instituted against us, Bitfarms or their respective directors or officers, including the effects of any outcomes related thereto; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, including in circumstances requiring us to pay a termination fee; the effect of the announcement or pendency of the merger on our business relationships, operating results and business generally; the risk that the merger disrupts our current plans and operations; our ability to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with key business partners and customers, and others with whom it does business, in light of the merger; potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the merger; risks related


to diverting management’s attention from our ongoing business operations; certain restrictions during the pendency of the merger that may impact our ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; the possibility that the merger may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; those risks described in Section 4.19 of Bitfarms’ Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 7, 2024, as Exhibit 99.1 to Bitfarms’ Annual Report on Form 40-F, Section 19 of Bitfarms’ Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 7, 2024, as Exhibit 99.3 to Bitfarms’ Annual Report on Form 40-F, Section 19 of Bitfarms’ Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, filed with the SEC on August 8, 2024, as Exhibit 99.2 to Bitfarms’ Current Report on Form 6-K, and subsequent reports on Form 6-K; those risks described in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 8, 2024, Item 1A of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on May 8, 2024, Item 1A of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024, filed with the SEC on August 14, 2024, and subsequent reports on Form 10-Q, including the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024, which the Company expects to file on or around November 13, 2024, and Form 8-K; and those risks that are described in the registration statement on Form F-4 (File No. 333-282657) filed by Bitfarms with the SEC (the “registration statement”), which includes a proxy statement of Stronghold that also constitutes a prospectus of Bitfarms (the “proxy statement/prospectus”).

While the list of factors presented here, and the list of factors presented in the registration statement, are each considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements as they are not guarantees of future performance or outcomes and that actual performance and outcomes, including, without limitation, our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of new markets or market segments in which we operate, may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this communication. Neither Bitfarms nor the Company assumes any obligation to publicly provide revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws. Neither future distribution of this communication nor the continued availability of this communication in archive form on Bitfarms’ or the Company’s website should be deemed to constitute an update or re-affirmation of these statements as of any future date.

Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and our related earnings call contain certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, as a measure of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted by the removal of one-time transaction costs, non-recurring expenses, realized gains and losses on the sale of long-term assets, expenses related to stock-based compensation, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, or changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities in the period presented. See reconciliation below.
Our board of directors and management team use Adjusted EBITDA to assess our financial performance because they believe it allows them to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense and income), asset base (such as depreciation, amortization, impairments, and realized gains and losses on the sale of long-term assets) and other items (such as one-time transaction costs, expenses related to stock-based compensation, and gains and losses on derivative contracts) that impact the comparability of financial results from period to period. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides useful information regarding the factors and trends affecting our business in addition to measures calculated under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure will provide useful information to investors and analysts in assessing our financial performance and results of operations across reporting periods by excluding items we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Net income (loss) is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA. Our non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. You are encouraged to evaluate each of these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in such presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. There can be no assurance that we will not modify the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA in the future, and any such modification may be material. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should be read in conjunction with the financial statements furnished in our Form 10-Q for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024, expected to be filed on or around November 13, 2024. Because Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of this non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility.

1 Includes the following non-recurring expenses: estimated accrual for two loss contingencies, one-time legal fees, and other one-time items.
2 As previously disclosed, the Company adopted ASU 2023-08 effective January 1, 2024, using a modified retrospective transition method, with a cumulative-effect adjustment of approximately $0.1 million recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. In conjunction with this accounting change and following consultation with the SEC, realized gains/losses on sale of digital currencies and unrealized gains/losses on digital currencies will no longer be excluded in the Company's determination of Adjusted EBITDA. Furthermore, the Company revised its Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, to remove adjustments for impairments on digital currencies and realized gain on sale of digital currencies.
