Strategy and Operations - Gryphon's new strategy focuses on acquiring and developing energy assets for AI and high-performance computing (HPC) data center infrastructure since September 2024[28]. - Gryphon operates approximately 9,660 bitcoin ASIC mining computers, generating revenue based on a dollar per megawatt-hour (MWh) basis, which is variable depending on Bitcoin price and global hash rates[30]. - Gryphon entered into a Co-Location Mining Services Agreement with Blockfusion for hosting 3,780 bitcoin miners, entitled to 12 MW of power at a cost of $156,000 per month[31]. - The Mawson Agreement allows Gryphon to host up to 5,880 miners with 20 MW of power at approximately $23.50 per MW/hour, with a minimum fee of about $165,521 per month[32]. - Gryphon is acquiring Captus Generation Ltd. and related entities for CAD $24 million, with a focus on developing AI HPC infrastructure on 850 acres in Alberta[50]. - The Captus Site is considered highly suitable for development due to its redundant natural gas lines, grid connectivity, and access to non-potable water[51]. - Gryphon has delivered 3,996 bitcoin miners to Blockfusion and 6,719 miners to Mawson subsequent to December 31, 2024[31][32]. - The Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire four natural gas generators with a combined standby rating of 1,900 kW and 566 bitcoin ASIC mining computers with a total hashrate capacity of approximately 57,120 TH/s[55]. - The total purchase price for the Giga Acquisition remains $1,500,000, with an additional advance payment of $250,000 made to the Seller[56]. - As of December 31, 2024, the Company operates a miner fleet composed of 7,128 S19j Pro Antminers, 552 S19k Pro Antminers, 276 S21 Antminers, and 878 S19j Pro + Antminers, with a total hashrate capacity of approximately 1,000 TH/s[63]. Financial Performance and Risks - Gryphon's revenue is primarily derived from bitcoin mining, with the price of bitcoin ranging between approximately $39,000 and $106,000 in fiscal 2024, directly impacting profitability[87]. - The company's operating results are significantly tied to the value of bitcoin, which is subject to high volatility and regulatory uncertainties[88]. - Gryphon's ability to earn bitcoin rewards is directly proportional to its mining power (hashrate), which must continuously expand to remain competitive[92]. - Gryphon's average bitcoin holding period was 30 days for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to 25 days for the year ended December 31, 2023[72]. - Gryphon's traditional revenue model involves mining and holding bitcoin, selling only what is necessary for operating expenses and reinvestment[72]. - Gryphon's financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, indicating substantial doubt about its ability to continue operations[160]. - Gryphon's future profitability is uncertain, and it may incur additional losses and negative cash flows in the foreseeable future[162]. - Gryphon may face liquidity constraints and need additional capital, which may not be available on favorable terms[115]. - Gryphon's digital assets are not insured against theft, loss, or destruction, increasing the risk of significant financial losses for the company and its stockholders[129]. - Gryphon's reliance on a single model of miner increases operational risks, as any design flaws could affect the entire system[182]. Regulatory Environment - Regulatory scrutiny of the blockchain and bitcoin industries is increasing, with multiple U.S. federal agencies involved in rulemaking and oversight[83]. - The U.S. government is working towards establishing a unified federal regulatory regime for cryptocurrencies, which may impact Gryphon's operations[217]. - Regulatory changes could require Gryphon to register and comply with securities laws, potentially leading to extraordinary expenses or operational changes[219]. - Certain jurisdictions have deemed cryptocurrencies illegal, which could adversely affect Gryphon's ability to operate and the value of its Bitcoin holdings[225]. - Gryphon's business is exposed to extensive and evolving regulatory risks, which could adversely affect its operations and financial condition[213]. - The evolving regulatory landscape may lead to increased operational burdens or the need to cease certain operations if compliance becomes too costly[219]. Market Dynamics and Competition - Gryphon faces significant competition from larger companies with greater resources, which may hinder its ability to expand and remain competitive[192]. - Gryphon's business relies on a limited number of digital asset mining equipment suppliers, making it vulnerable to supply fluctuations and price volatility[179]. - The ongoing shortage of ASIC chips, a critical component for mining machines, may impact Gryphon's self-mining operations and costs[180]. - Gryphon's operations may be impacted by cybersecurity risks, including potential attacks on its systems and the loss of access to private keys[166]. - Gryphon's ability to raise additional capital is essential for funding operations and strategic growth initiatives, with potential dilution of existing stockholders' interests[159]. Technological and Operational Challenges - Gryphon's hash rate growth is critical to remain competitive, as the global network hash rate is expected to increase with greater Bitcoin adoption[156]. - Gryphon must continually add new miners to grow its hash rate in line with the Bitcoin network hash rate to remain competitive[177]. - The price of new miners has increased due to rising demand and scarcity, which may hinder Gryphon's ability to fund hash rate growth[177]. - Gryphon's mining operations depend on third-party mining pools, exposing it to risks from potential downtime or issues with the pool operator[184]. - Gryphon's hosting arrangements are uncertain and competitive, with potential regulatory changes affecting availability[185]. External Factors and Market Sentiment - Gryphon's success is contingent upon the continued market acceptance and value of bitcoin, which may be influenced by various external factors including regulatory changes and market dynamics[90]. - Geopolitical and economic crises could lead to large-scale sell-offs of digital assets, negatively impacting Bitcoin's value and Gryphon's business[102]. - The failure or insolvency of major exchanges like FTX has led to significant price volatility in the crypto asset markets, adversely affecting Gryphon's financial condition[96]. - A decline in Bitcoin adoption could weaken demand, negatively impacting Gryphon's business and leading to lower trading volumes and diminished liquidity[100]. - Internet disruptions could significantly impact Gryphon's ability to mine Bitcoin and the overall price of Bitcoin[154].
