Sphere 3D Enters 30 MW Co-Mining Agreements with Bitdeer, Monetizing Power Assets While Advancing AI Infrastructure Evaluation

https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/302728

Stamford, Connecticut--(Newsfile Corp. - June 25, 2026) - Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ: ANY) ("Sphere 3D" or the "Company"), a Nasdaq-listed digital infrastructure company with a multi-region power and data center footprint, today announced that it has entered into co-mining agreements with Bitdeer Technologies Group (NASDAQ: BTDR) ("Bitdeer"), a world-leading technology company for artificial intelligence ("AI") and Bitcoin mining infrastructure, to host 30 megawatts of capacity across three of Sphere 3D's data center sites in Tennessee and Kentucky.

The agreements provide Sphere 3D with contracted mining economics while the Company continues its site-by-site evaluation of broader digital infrastructure opportunities, including potential future applications in AI and high-performance compute.

Under the agreements, Bitdeer will deploy its SEALMINER A2 Pro Air mining hardware at three sites, and the parties will share the net mining proceeds. Each agreement has an initial one-year term, renewable for a further year unless either party elects otherwise and is structured to preserve flexibility as Sphere 3D continues evaluating the optimal use of its power-backed infrastructure.

The agreements are consistent with Sphere 3D's strategy of putting available power capacity to work with established counterparties while maintaining optionality across a rapidly changing digital infrastructure market. The agreements place a meaningful block of capacity under contract, adds operating visibility, and supports a disciplined approach to asset utilization.

"We are focused on building a platform that can respond to where digital infrastructure demand is going, while making practical use of the assets we control today," said Joel Block, Chief Executive Officer of Sphere 3D. "This agreement allows us to put 30 megawatts of capacity to work with a leading public company in the sector, generate current mining economics, and preserve flexibility as we continue evaluating AI and high-performance compute opportunities across our sites."

The transaction reflects the growing importance of access to power across the digital infrastructure landscape. Power availability, site readiness, and operating discipline are becoming increasingly important factors in how infrastructure assets are valued and deployed.

Sphere 3D continues to assess each site based on power availability, interconnection profile, operating requirements, capital needs, counterparty demand, and technical feasibility. The Company expects to continue evaluating opportunities that may improve utilization of its infrastructure while maintaining a disciplined approach to capital allocation and execution risk.

Sphere 3D Engages EA Advisors LLC as Strategic Advisory Firm for AI and High-Performance Compute Initiatives

https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/300818/Sphere-3D-Engages-EA-Advisors-LLC-as-Strategic-Advisory-Firm-for-AI-and-HighPerformance-Compute-Initiatives

Stamford, Connecticut--(Newsfile Corp. - June 10, 2026) - Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ: ANY) ("Sphere 3D" or the "Company") today announced the engagement of EA Advisors LLC ("EA Advisors") as a strategic advisor to the Company. The engagement aligns with the Company's previously announced priority of partnering with trusted, vetted operators to accelerate execution on its AI and high-performance compute strategy.

EA Advisors will support Sphere 3D's evaluation and development of its existing and pipeline sites for AI and high-performance compute workloads, including technical assessment of site configurations, identification and engagement of design, build, and operating partners, and execution support for the conversion of existing infrastructure to support next-generation compute environments. The engagement is structured to support a site-by-site approach to customer profile and business model selection, reflecting Sphere 3D's view that the diversity of its portfolio is best monetized through differentiated strategies per asset rather than a single platform-wide playbook.

"We have been direct in our view that megawatts alone are not the moat they once were. The right megawatts, the right customers, and the right business model per site are what we believe create durable value in this segment," said Joel Block, Chief Executive Officer of Sphere 3D. "As part of our strategic transformation, we have been intentional in seeking best in class partners and thought leaders to add to our bench. EA Advisors brings the specific operational depth, technical fluency, and partner relationships that match where this business needs to go. Their team has built and operated digital infrastructure at scale, and engaging them at this stage reflects both the pace and the standard of execution we intend to maintain."

The firm's strategic advisory work is anchored by three principals with complementary backgrounds across the digital infrastructure stack:

Alexis Stobbe, Founder and Managing Partner, is an industry veteran with prior operating leadership at Jacobs, a leading global datacenter design company, Anord Mardix, a global manufacturer of critical power distribution solutions for data centers, and earlier commercial leadership at Compass Datacenters.

Jason Okroy, Senior Advisor, co-founded and led Salute Mission Critical, a global data center services platform serving hyperscale, colocation, and edge operators, where he served as Chief Executive Officer through a period of significant international expansion.

Michael Sweeney, Senior Advisor, is an AI Factory Architect at Phaidra with prior senior data center architecture leadership roles at Microsoft, Salesforce, Oracle, and Silent-Aire (acquired by Johnson Controls in 2021), and earlier modular data center engineering experience at Dell and IO (acquired by Iron Mountain).

"The companies winning in this market are the ones with the right combination of energized power, operationally credible sites, and a team that knows how to execute against the specific requirements of the customers buying compute capacity today," said Jason Okroy, Senior Advisor of EA Advisors LLC. "We believe Sphere 3D has the asset base and the management team to compete in this segment, and we look forward to bringing our operating experience to support the work ahead."

$ANY Sphere 3D and Cathedra Bitcoin Announce Closing of Business Combination

https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/299581/Sphere-3D-and-Cathedra-Bitcoin-Announce-Closing-of-Business-Combination

Toronto, Ontario and Stamford, Connecticut--(Newsfile Corp. - June 1, 2026) - Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ: ANY) ("Sphere") and Cathedra Bitcoin Inc. (TSXV: CBIT) (OTCQB: CBTTF) ("Cathedra" and together with Sphere, the "Parties") today announced that they have completed the previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Transaction") pursuant to which Sphere acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Cathedra under the arrangement agreement entered into on March 5, 2026 (the "Agreement"), and Cathedra is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sphere (Sphere, together with Cathedra and their subsidiaries following completion of the Transaction, the "Combined Company"). The Transaction was completed by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Transaction was approved at a special meeting of the securityholders of Cathedra and at a meeting of the shareholders of Sphere, and by the Supreme Court of British Columbia.

"Closing this combination marks a significant milestone for both companies and our shareholders," said Joel Block, Chief Executive Officer of the Combined Company. "We have integrated Cathedra's energy-centric infrastructure platform with Sphere's public-market presence and robust balance sheet to build a larger, more diversified enterprise with a clear growth trajectory. Together, we offer 53 MW of operational capacity, a pipeline exceeding 100 MW of potential expansion, and a NASDAQ-listed platform designed for scalability. We believe the Combined Company is strategically positioned to generate long-term value by seizing opportunities in high-performance computing and digital asset infrastructure."

Strategic Rationale and Competitive Advantages

The Transaction is expected to deliver greater scale and an expanded US operating footprint, with the Combined Company owning and operating a portfolio of 53 megawatts ("MW") of power capacity across five data centers in Iowa, Kentucky, and Tennessee. This larger platform is also intended to lay a foundation for potential expansion into high-performance compute. With growing demand for compute-intensive workloads, the Combined Company intends to evaluate select opportunities in adjacent high-performance compute and AI infrastructure, leveraging existing power relationships and site capabilities to maximize returns on its power capacity. The expanded operating scale is expected to improve profitability by spreading fixed overhead costs over a larger revenue and asset base.

The combination also diversifies the Combined Company's revenue streams across proprietary mining and hosting services. By integrating Sphere's updated mining machine fleet with Cathedra's data center operations and experience, the Combined Company gains exposure to mining economics while maintaining downside protection through fixed-margin hosting contracts with third parties. These strengths are paired with strong growth prospects supported by a scalable development model and access to capital: Cathedra's low-cost development model and infrastructure-first approach, coupled with Sphere's capital markets expertise, position the Combined Company to capitalize on a robust pipeline of over 100 MW of potential expansion opportunities and to further grow its portfolio of infrastructure assets.

Over time, the Combined Company intends to maximize returns on power capacity by assessing the highest-value applications for its energy resources, including digital asset mining, AI model training, and other compute-intensive workloads that require reliable, cost-effective power at scale.

The Combined Company's bitcoin mining operations and balance sheet include managed power capacity of 53 MW at five data centers across three U.S. states, comprising both data centers owned by the Combined Company and those leased from and/or operated by third parties, as well as 1.2 EH/s of installed proprietary mining hash rate across data centers owned by the Combined Company and third-party hosting providers.

Board and Management

Underpinning these advantages is an experienced leadership team with a clear strategic vision and a deep expertise in digital asset mining, digital infrastructure, energy optimization, and capital markets. Joel Block has assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer of the Combined Company and joins the board of directors, bringing extensive experience in both private and public capital markets and in operating within the digital infrastructure and bitcoin mining arena. Kurt Kalbfleisch, previously Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Sphere, has maintained his role of Chief Financial Officer and joins the board of directors, contributing over two decades of executive leadership experience at multiple NASDAQ-listed companies. Tiah Reppas will continue her role as Chief Accounting Officer of the Combined Company, bringing over two decades of public accounting experience. Thomas Masiero will be Head of Strategy of the Combined Company, bringing significant experience in the development of power capacity and infrastructure.

The board of directors comprises Tim Hanley, who serves as Chair, together with Marcus Dent, Kurt Kalbfleisch, Nicholas Gates, and Joel Block. Mr. Hanley, Mr. Dent, and Mr. Gates serve as independent directors, focused on robust governance, diverse strategic perspectives, and disciplined execution. Mr. Hanley is a seasoned global executive with significant audit committee and boardroom experience. He spent 17 years at Deloitte, where he led the firm's Global Consumer and Industrial Products practice and grew it to more than $14 billion in annual revenue, and he later served as Acting Keyes Dean of the College of Business at Marquette University. Marcus Dent, founder of TFTC.io and Managing Partner at Ten31, is a media personality and recognized thought leader in the digital assets industry. He previously served as Director of Business Development at Great American Mining, an early innovator in off-grid bitcoin mining using flared natural gas, and has served as a director of Cathedra since 2021. Nicholas Gates is Managing Director, Integrated Projects at Priority Power Management, an Arlington, Texas-based leader in energy management, procurement, and infrastructure development. He brings deep expertise in energy strategy, power procurement, and the development of large-scale power infrastructure.

Additional Transaction Details

As a result of the Transaction, Cathedra security holders received common shares of Sphere (the "Sphere Common Shares") and/or securities exercisable or convertible into Sphere Common Shares. The Combined Company has retained Sphere's name and listing on NASDAQ under the symbol "ANY".

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Cathedra has amalgamated with S3D Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sphere formed to complete the Transaction. Holders of Cathedra subordinate voting shares ("Cathedra SV Shares") received 0.123014 of a Sphere Common Share for each Cathedra SV Share held (the "SV Exchange Ratio") and holders of Cathedra multiple voting shares ("Cathedra MV Shares") received 12.3014 Sphere Common Shares for each Cathedra MV Share held, which provided economically equivalent consideration for both classes of shares. Cathedra's outstanding warrants, stock options and certain restricted share units were exchanged for corresponding Sphere securities in accordance with the applicable exchange ratio. The remaining restricted share units fully vested immediately prior to closing, and the holders thereof received Sphere Common Shares in accordance with the SV Exchange Ratio. In addition, certain key Cathedra shareholders were subject to a 7% post-closing ownership cap, with any consideration that would have otherwise exceeded such cap received in a new series of Sphere non-voting preferred shares having equivalent economic value.

Sphere 3D and Cathedra Bitcoin Announce Closing of Business CombinationJune 1, 2026 7:00 AM
NewsfileCombination creates a scaled data infrastructure platform with 53megawatts of operating capacity and a 100mw+ expansion pipeline; Combined company retains Sphere 3D's name and US listing (ANY)Toronto, Ontario and Stamford, Connecticut--(Newsfile Corp. - June 1, 2026) - Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ: ANY) ("Sphere") and Cathedra Bitcoin Inc. (TSXV: CBIT) (OTCQB: CBTTF) ("Cathedra" and together with Sphere, the "Parties") today announced that they have completed the previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Transaction") pursuant to which Sphere acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Cathedra under the arrangement agreement entered into on March 5, 2026 (the "Agreement"), and Cathedra is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sphere (Sphere, together with Cathedra and their subsidiaries following completion of the Transaction, the "Combined Company"). The Transaction was completed by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Transaction was approved at a special meeting of the securityholders of Cathedra and at a meeting of the shareholders of Sphere, and by the Supreme Court of British Columbia."Closing this combination marks a significant milestone for both companies and our shareholders," said Joel Block, Chief Executive Officer of the Combined Company. "We have integrated Cathedra's energy-centric infrastructure platform with Sphere's public-market presence and robust balance sheet to build a larger, more diversified enterprise with a clear growth trajectory. Together, we offer 53 MW of operational capacity, a pipeline exceeding 100 MW of potential expansion, and a NASDAQ-listed platform designed for scalability. We believe the Combined Company is strategically positioned to generate long-term value by seizing opportunities in high-performance computing and digital asset infrastructure."Strategic Rationale and Competitive AdvantagesThe Transaction is expected to deliver greater scale and an expanded US operating footprint, with the Combined Company owning and operating a portfolio of 53 megawatts ("MW") of power capacity across five data centers in Iowa, Kentucky, and Tennessee. This larger platform is also intended to lay a foundation for potential expansion into high-performance compute. With growing demand for compute-intensive workloads, the Combined Company intends to evaluate select opportunities in adjacent high-performance compute and AI infrastructure, leveraging existing power relationships and site capabilities to maximize returns on its power capacity. The expanded operating scale is expected to improve profitability by spreading fixed overhead costs over a larger revenue and asset base. The combination also diversifies the Combined Company's revenue streams across proprietary mining and hosting services. By integrating Sphere's updated mining machine fleet with Cathedra's data center operations and experience, the Combined Company gains exposure to mining economics while maintaining downside protection through fixed-margin hosting contracts with third parties. These strengths are paired with strong growth prospects supported by a scalable development model and access to capital: Cathedra's low-cost development model and infrastructure-first approach, coupled with Sphere's capital markets expertise, position the Combined Company to capitalize on a robust pipeline of over 100 MW of potential expansion opportunities and to further grow its portfolio of infrastructure assets.Over time, the Combined Company intends to maximize returns on power capacity by assessing the highest-value applications for its energy resources, including digital asset mining, AI model training, and other compute-intensive workloads that require reliable, cost-effective power at scale.The Combined Company's bitcoin mining operations and balance sheet include managed power capacity of 53 MW at five data centers across three U.S. states, comprising both data centers owned by the Combined Company and those leased from and/or operated by third parties, as well as 1.2 EH/s of installed proprietary mining hash rate across data centers owned by the Combined Company and third-party hosting providers.Board and ManagementUnderpinning these advantages is an experienced leadership team with a clear strategic vision and a deep expertise in digital asset mining, digital infrastructure, energy optimization, and capital markets. Joel Block has assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer of the Combined Company and joins the board of directors, bringing extensive experience in both private and public capital markets and in operating within the digital infrastructure and bitcoin mining arena. Kurt Kalbfleisch, previously Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Sphere, has maintained his role of Chief Financial Officer and joins the board of directors, contributing over two decades of executive leadership experience at multiple NASDAQ-listed companies. Tiah Reppas will continue her role as Chief Accounting Officer of the Combined Company, bringing over two decades of public accounting experience. Thomas Masiero will be Head of Strategy of the Combined Company, bringing significant experience in the development of power capacity and infrastructure.The board of directors comprises Tim Hanley, who serves as Chair, together with Marcus Dent, Kurt Kalbfleisch, Nicholas Gates, and Joel Block. Mr. Hanley, Mr. Dent, and Mr. Gates serve as independent directors, focused on robust governance, diverse strategic perspectives, and disciplined execution. Mr. Hanley is a seasoned global executive with significant audit committee and boardroom experience. He spent 17 years at Deloitte, where he led the firm's Global Consumer and Industrial Products practice and grew it to more than $14 billion in annual revenue, and he later served as Acting Keyes Dean of the College of Business at Marquette University. Marcus Dent, founder of TFTC.io and Managing Partner at Ten31, is a media personality and recognized thought leader in the digital assets industry. He previously served as Director of Business Development at Great American Mining, an early innovator in off-grid bitcoin mining using flared natural gas, and has served as a director of Cathedra since 2021. Nicholas Gates is Managing Director, Integrated Projects at Priority Power Management, an Arlington, Texas-based leader in energy management, procurement, and infrastructure development. He brings deep expertise in energy strategy, power procurement, and the development of large-scale power infrastructure.Additional Transaction DetailsAs a result of the Transaction, Cathedra security holders received common shares of Sphere (the "Sphere Common Shares") and/or securities exercisable or convertible into Sphere Common Shares.

$ANY Cathedra Bitcoin Receives Final Court Approval for Sphere 3D Combination; Transaction Expected to Close June 1, 2026

https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/298826/Cathedra-Bitcoin-Receives-Final-Court-Approval-for-Sphere-3D-Combination-Transaction-Expected-to-Close-June-1-2026

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 26, 2026) - Cathedra Bitcoin Inc. (TSXV: CBIT) (OTCQB: CBTTF) (the "Company" or "Cathedra"), further to the Company's news releases dated March 5, 2026, May 4, 2026 and May 15, 2026, today announced that it has obtained a final order (the "Final Order") from the Supreme Court of British Columbia approving the statutory plan of arrangement (the "Transaction") with Sphere 3D Corp. ("Sphere"). The Final Order represents the last major approval required to complete the Transaction.

Cathedra securityholders approved the Transaction with 99.95% of votes cast in favor at the special meeting held on May 15, 2026; a level of support management views as a strong endorsement of the strategic rationale for the combination.

The Transaction is expected to close on June 1, 2026, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other customary closing conditions. The Company has applied to the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") to delist its subordinate voting shares from trading on the TSXV following the closing of the Transaction. Cathedra expects to request that trading in its subordinate voting shares be halted after market close on Friday, May 29, 2026.

Further details regarding the Transaction are set out in the management information circular of Cathedra dated April 2, 2026, which is available on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) under Cathedra's issuer profile.

Upon closing, Cathedra will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sphere, and the combined company's shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "ANY." The combination brings together Cathedra's portfolio of owned and operated power infrastructure across the TVA service territory with Sphere's Nasdaq listing, capital markets access, and additional infrastructure assets in Iowa; positioning the combined company to pursue the scalable, modular deployment of compute infrastructure across North America. The combined company will be led by Joel Block as Chief Executive Officer and Kurt Kalbfleisch as Chief Financial Officer.

"Receiving the Final Order clears the path to completing a transaction that fundamentally repositions both companies for the next chapter of digital infrastructure," said Joel Block, Chief Executive Officer of Cathedra and incoming Chief Executive Officer of the combined company. "We are grateful for the overwhelming support of our securityholders. The combined company will operate a multi-region power infrastructure base and is led by a team built specifically for the structurally complex deals defining this cycle, with a long track record of building and growing businesses in dynamic and constantly changing environments. Our focus from day one is disciplined execution against an opportunity set that did not exist for either company independently."

$ANY Sphere 3D Receives Shareholder Approval Related to Cathedra Combination; Combined Company to Operate Power Infrastructure Across the TVA Region and Iowa

https://www.accessnewswire.com/newsroom/en/blockchain-and-cryptocurrency/sphere-3d-receives-shareholder-approval-related-to-cathedra-combinati-1168885

STAMFORD, CT / ACCESS Newswire / May 21, 2026 / Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ:ANY) ("Sphere 3D"), a Bitcoin mining company today announced that shareholders have approved various proposals related to its business combination with Cathedra Bitcoin Inc. ("Cathedra"), including the issuance of Sphere 3D common shares to Cathedra shareholders. The transaction is expected to close on June 1, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of remaining customary closing conditions.

At closing, the combined company will operate over 50 megawatts of energized power infrastructure across a multi-region portfolio spanning the Tennessee Valley Authority service territory in Tennessee and Kentucky, within proximity to both the Nashville and Knoxville metropolitan areas, and an operating site in Iowa. The two-grid footprint provides geographic and utility diversification across the Southeast and Midwest.

The combined company will close with no outstanding debt and a fully unencumbered asset base, a balance sheet position management views as a strategic asset as it provides financial flexibility to pursue growth opportunities as they arise.

The combined company is evaluating its existing containerized, power-ready sites for potential retrofit to support AI and high-performance computing applications. The evaluation is expected to leverage existing energized infrastructure and modular deployment methods, with the goal of bringing AI-ready compute capacity online on accelerated timelines relative to traditional data center development. These evaluations are part of a broader review of how the combined company will present itself to the market following closing. Any such evaluation is preliminary, and no decisions regarding site repurposing, capital allocation, or timing have been made.

"Shareholder approval is a meaningful milestone, and I want to thank our shareholders for their support. Closing this combination will just be the beginning of what we're building," said Kurt Kalbfleisch, Chief Executive Officer of Sphere 3D, who will serve as Chief Financial Officer of the combined company following closing. "With this combination, we are bringing together a leadership team and board with experience that spans across capital structuring, complex transaction execution, and deep expertise in power procurement and utility infrastructure development. Joel Block's track record leading complex transactions will be a valuable addition as we position the combined company for its next phase. From the CFO seat, my focus will be on disciplined capital allocation and operational execution against an opportunity set that did not exist for companies our size a year ago."

$ANY Cathedra Bitcoin Announces Securityholder Approval of Plan of Arrangement

https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/297693/Cathedra-Bitcoin-Announces-Securityholder-Approval-of-Plan-of-Arrangement

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 15, 2026) - Cathedra Bitcoin Inc. (TSXV: CBIT) (OTCQB: CBTTF) (the "Company" or "Cathedra") is pleased to announce that its securityholders have approved the special resolution (the "Special Resolution") authorizing the statutory plan of arrangement (the "Transaction") with Sphere 3D Corp. ("Sphere") at the special meeting of Securityholders (as defined below) held on May 15, 2026 (the "Meeting").

Securityholder Approval

At the Meeting, the Special Resolution was approved overwhelmingly by (i) 99.95% of the votes cast by shareholders of Cathedra ("Shareholders") present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, and (ii) 99.95% of the votes cast by Shareholders and the holders of warrants, options and restricted share units (collectively, the "Securityholders") present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting.

"We are very pleased to have received overwhelming support from our shareholders, marking an important milestone toward completing the Transaction with Sphere 3D," said Joel Block, Chief Executive Officer of Cathedra. "We continue to work closely with Sphere as we advance toward an expected closing on June 1, 2026, and we are excited about the future opportunities for the combined company as demand for scalable, power-optimized digital infrastructure continues to grow."

Transaction Update

The Transaction is expected to close on June 1, 2026, subject to, among other things, the Company obtaining a final order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia in respect of the Transaction (the "Final Order") and the satisfaction or waiver of certain other customary closing conditions. The hearing for the Final Order is scheduled to take place on May 25, 2026.

Further details regarding the Transaction are set out in the management information circular of Cathedra dated April 2, 2026, which is available on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) under Cathedra's issuer profile.

Wasn't the merger expected in May? When the merger is announced as closed, ANY goes from 8 MW to 53 MW and apparently with a recently signed co location client. The sooner the better...but it looks like the merged company, factoring in the additional shares to go out to the Cathera Bitcoin shareholders, should be valued from $4--$5/share. But if they grow to the 100 MW mentioned in their business plan, you could see over $7/share. Just one opinion.

Sphere 3D Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial ResultsMay 15, 2026 4:15 PM
NewsfileSphere 3D Advances Mining Efficiency Initiatives and Strategic Growth PlansStamford, Connecticut--(Newsfile Corp. - May 15, 2026) - Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ: ANY) ("Sphere 3D" or the "Company"), a Bitcoin mining company, today reported financial results for its first quarter of FY 2026 ended March 31, 2026.COMMENTS FROM SPHERE 3D LEADERSHIP"During the quarter, we remained focused on improving the efficiency of our mining operations while continuing to position the Company for long-term growth," said Kurt Kalfbfleish, CEO of Sphere3D. "The operational changes underway this quarter, combined with the proposed combination with Cathedra Bitcoin, Inc., reflect our broader strategy to build a stronger and more resilient Bitcoin infrastructure business with greater operational control and flexibility over time."RECENT EVENTIn March 2026, the Company announced a definitive agreement to combine with Cathedra Bitcoin, Inc. The proposed combination is intended to create a scaled digital infrastructure platform anchored in a central market reality: as demand for compute capacity continues to expand, access to scalable, efficiently managed power is becoming increasingly valuable. Management believes the combined company will be better positioned to capitalize on this dynamic through a modular, capital disciplined infrastructure model optimized for speed, flexibility, and disciplined deployment.BITCOIN ASSETAs of March 31, 2026, the Company had a self-mined balance of 26.2 Bitcoin.FIRST QUARTER FY 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTSBitcoin production during the first quarter of 2026 was 25.3 Bitcoin, compared to 30.5 Bitcoin for the first quarter of 2025. The Company generated revenue of $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2025, primarily driven by a decrease in the fair value of Bitcoin during the period. Results were also impacted by the Company's ongoing efforts to improve operational efficiency through the replacement of older mining equipment with newer generation machines, which temporarily reduced active mining capacity during the transition. The mining fleet refresh, which is intended to improve overall efficiency and long-term operating performance, was substantially completed as of the end of the first quarter of 2026.Operating costs and expenses for the quarter decreased by $2.0 million to $6.0 million, compared to $8.0 million for first quarter of 2025.General and administrative expenses, included in operating costs and expenses, for the first quarter of 2026 were reduced by approximately 23% to $2.5 million, compared to $3.2 million for the first quarter of 2025.Investment loss was nil compared to $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2025, due to a previous equity investment that the Company intended to monetize over time.Loss from operations decreased to $4.1 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2025, reflecting the Company's continued focus on improving operational efficiency and streamlining its mining operations as part of its longer-term strategy to enhance performance and reduce operating costs over time.Net loss was $4.1 million, or a net loss of $1.18 per share for the first quarter of 2026, compared to a net loss of $8.8 million, or a net loss of $3.23 per share, for the first quarter of 2025.ABOUT SPHERE 3DSphere 3D Corp.

$ANY Sphere 3D and Cathedra Advance Proposed Combination to Establish Power-Optimized Digital Infrastructure Platform

https://www.accessnewswire.com/newsroom/en/blockchain-and-cryptocurrency/sphere-3d-and-cathedra-advance-proposed-combination-to-establish-powe-1164667

STAMFORD, CT AND TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / May 7, 2026 / Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ:ANY) ("Sphere 3D") and Cathedra Bitcoin Inc. ("Cathedra") today provided an update regarding their previously announced proposed business combination (the "Transaction"), which remains expected to close in the near term, pending the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and required approvals.

The proposed combination is intended to create a scaled digital infrastructure platform anchored in a central market reality: as demand for compute capacity continues to expand, access to scalable, efficiently managed power is becoming increasingly valuable. Management believes the combined company will be better positioned to capitalize on this dynamic through a modular, capital disciplined infrastructure model optimized for speed, flexibility, and disciplined deployment.

Upon closing, the combined company is expected to initially operate 53 megawatts (MW) of managed power capacity across five data centers in Iowa, Kentucky, and Tennessee, providing a scaled, multi-site operating footprint with embedded optionality for expansion and workload diversification.

The strategic rationale for the transaction is straightforward. Demand for compute-intensive infrastructure is rising across artificial intelligence, data processing, and other high-density workloads, while traditional infrastructure development remains constrained by long build cycles, high capital intensity, and limited flexibility once deployed. Against this backdrop, the combined company is expected to operate with a more adaptable architecture, including modular and containerized infrastructure that can be deployed and redeployed in response to power availability, market economics, and customer demand.

Management believes this architecture creates meaningful strategic advantages. The combined company is expected to benefit from improved infrastructure utilization, more efficient power optimization, and faster deployment timelines relative to traditional fixed site development models. These characteristics are increasingly relevant in an environment where energy availability, deployment speed, and capital efficiency are becoming central determinants of infrastructure value.

The proposed combination is also expected to expand Sphere 3D's ability to support a wider range of compute applications over time. In addition to legacy operations, the platform is being positioned to pursue higher value opportunities across high performance compute, AI infrastructure, and other advanced digital infrastructure workloads, leveraging existing power relationships and site capabilities to maximize asset productivity and drive long term returns on invested capital.

Importantly, the combined company is expected to enter this next phase with tangible forward visibility. Cathedra recently announced a new hosting agreement expected to utilize approximately 80% of the 15 MW capacity at its Shire site in Kentucky, representing roughly 25% of Cathedra's current hosting capacity, and establishing what management views as a stable, long term revenue stream. This development adds a meaningful layer of operating visibility as the transaction progresses toward closing.

Following closing, the combined company expects to focus on integration execution, asset optimization, power strategy refinement, and disciplined evaluation of workload opportunities to enhance asset productivity and improve revenue quality over time. The objective is not simply greater scale, but to establish a stronger strategic position within an infrastructure market increasingly defined by constrained power, rising compute intensity, and demand for more flexible deployment models.

"Digital infrastructure is increasingly being defined by access to power, deployment agility, and capital discipline," said Kurt Kalbfleisch, CEO. "We believe the proposed combination positions the company to compete more effectively in this environment by bringing together operating scale, infrastructure development expertise, and a flexible deployment model capable of supporting a broader range of high density compute opportunities over time."

Additional information regarding the expected closing date and other material developments related to the proposed transaction will be provided as appropriate.

Sphere 3D Provides Business and Financial UpdateFebruary 6, 2026 11:15 AM
NewsfileStamford, Connecticut--(Newsfile Corp. - February 6, 2026) - Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ: ANY) ("Sphere 3D" or the "Company"), a Bitcoin mining company, today provided an update on its operational focus, creating a foundation for growth and financial progress over the past year, reflecting a continued discipline on cost control and long-term positioning and announced that it will effect a share consolidation (also known as a reverse stock split) of its common shares on a 1-for-10 basis, which was previously approved by shareholders on May 29, 2025. Despite a volatile macroeconomic and energy environment, the Company continued to operate and optimize its Bitcoin mining activities. Sphere 3D made selective investments in newer-generation mining equipment, prioritizing mining efficiency, and maintained flexibility across hosting and power arrangements to balance economics and sustained growth. In March 2025, Sphere 3D's new 8MW facility in Iowa was fully energized. Sphere 3D replaced older generation miners with approximately 2,300 newer generation S21+, S21 XP and S21 Pro miners. These steps have improved the average fleet efficiency from 27.1 J/th at the end of 2024 to below 19.0 J/th currently. During 2025, Sphere 3D mined 111.6 Bitcoin. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a self-mined balance of 37.3 Bitcoin."The actions we have taken this past year reflect a consistent focus on discipline, simplification, and long-term positioning as we review strategic alternatives for the Company in 2026," said Kurt Kalbfleish, CEO of Sphere 3D. Sphere 3D has taken deliberate steps to align its cost structure with its operating footprint. These actions resulted in year-over-year reductions in its fourth quarter general and administrative expenses of 50% when compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.The Company also took steps to reduce uncertainty and simplify its profile, which allowed management to focus on operational growth and financial discipline. During 2025 Sphere 3D sold its remaining CORZ shares resulting in a cumulative recovery of $9.4 million in excess of its settlement value. The Company also exited its hosting agreement with Rebel Mining Company LLC through a negotiated termination and settlement, and successfully raised capital by executing a warrant inducement generating $4.1 million in gross proceeds which were redeployed into newer-generation mining equipment.The Company is effecting a reverse stock split. The reverse stock split will become effective on February 9, 2026. The Company's common shares will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market and will begin trading on a post-consolidation basis as of the opening of trading on February 10, 2026, under a new CUSIP number 84841L506 and under the existing trading symbol "ANY". At the effective time of the share consolidation, every ten (10) issued and outstanding common shares of the Company will be automatically combined and converted into one (1) issued and outstanding common share, without any change in the par value per share. Shareholders holding their shares electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive post-reverse split shares. Shareholders owning shares through a bank, broker, or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, subject to brokers' particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split. For those shareholders holding physical stock certificates, the Company's transfer agent, TSX Trust Company, will send instructions for exchanging those certificates for shares held electronically in book-entry form or for new certificates, in either case representing the post-reverse split number of shares. The reverse stock split will affect all shareholders uniformly and will not alter any shareholder's percentage interest in the Company's equity, except where the share consolidation results in a shareholder owning a fractional share, in which case the number of new common shares issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. No fractional shares will be issued.The reverse stock split will reduce the number of common shares outstanding from 33,925,259 shares, the number of shares outstanding on February 5, 2026, to approximately 3,392,525 shares, subject to adjustment for fractional shares. Proportional adjustments will be made to the number of common shares upon exercise or conversion of the Company's options and warrants, as well as the applicable exercise price, as applicable.About Sphere 3DSphere 3D Corp.

Jordan and Katerina Spring listed their home for sale. To me it looks like a jersey shore wedding cake. Its ugly and tacky IMO

Company management and subsequent stock is trash. Capitals best used elsewhere.

Read the 8K. It's hard to imagine how Ms. Trompeter can say that with a straight face.

Well apparently this is a dead dog pile of craps. Wow.

Yes Jordan Spring was involved. His reputation killed deal with gryphon. Who wants to deal with someone who's business partner is getting home shot up with guns and cars blown up.i guess it's no wonder he has panic rooms in house.

Yes they were going to merge until they found out Jordan Spring was a major shareholder. They ran for the hills after learning of his reputation in Toronto

@declaes -Market Value and calculation "offer/buy"-Value could be very different. Usual is 10times or multiple of earnings. Finally it´s depending lots of circumstanding and situations like prospects aso. No one knows.

3-5 times buyout by Corz IMO. Merger Monday??

Current market cap and outstanding shares is under 20 million. That's far from sector parity. I think it could go at least 5 times from here. Maybe more??

Wouldn't surprise me... what would be a fair price? 7-10$

With the halving, the company could be a good candidate for acquisition. Could explain the lengthy silence. Just my take.

Looks ready for a bullish reversal.

ANY- BTC Price trebled since that low months ago. ANY and other small Cos cannot hold according new HALFING Production regulations. $WULF looks a bit better the moment, but a bunch of 500mill shares doesnt look nice for a long time invest. Statement from CEO was "thinking about the "Halfing-Problem"" for next half year of 2024. Everyone might have their own sight of interpretation. For me it looks like Problems are understood but still in the market.

Yep. RSI and MACD aren't even close to over bought. $ANY should be good to go here. Bitcoin doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon.

ANY - now around 1.45 looks like oversold, not sure about, there is a little support from Nov 23 @,16 but lowest in Nov was 0,63 - So what? Depending next news. All BTC´s struggling caused by new half production regulations.... https://www.investopedia.com/bitcoin-halving-4843769
