Riot Platforms, a Bitcoin mining and data center company, sold 1,818 Bitcoin in December 2025 for approximately $161 million, reducing its total holdings to 18,005 Bitcoin, valued at $1.7 billion at current market prices.

The sale represents part of the company’s ongoing strategy to fund operational expansions through Bitcoin liquidation. Riot has historically utilized Bitcoin sales and stock offerings as part of its business financing approach.

Riot also reported mining 460 Bitcoin during this period, up 8% from November but down 11% from a year earlier, according to the monthly operating data released Tuesday.

The miner expanded its deployed hash rate to 38.5 EH/s and benefited from higher power and demand response credits, which totaled $6.2 million in December. Riot’s all-in power cost edged down to 3.9 cents per kilowatt hour, while fleet efficiency improved year over year.

Riot said December marked its final monthly production update, with future disclosures shifting to quarterly reporting focused on business performance and data center strategy.
