By increasing our exposure to high-quality, low-cost operational power assets in Texas, we are aligning our proprietary technology with critical infrastructure to drive long-term efficiency and scale," said Nangeng Zhang, chairman and chief executive officer of Canaan. "We are also honored to welcome Cipher as a significant shareholder. This deepened relationship not only reflects our shared commitment to robust corporate governance but also allows us to support Cipher's impressive evolution into a key player in the AI and HPC sectors.""We are proud of the role we played in developing the ABC Projects and bringing them to their current operational stage. Given that history, it was important for us to transition the assets to an industry leader capable of advancing the long-term vision we established for these sites. We believe Canaan's vertical integration, technology leadership, and expanding energy platform make them the right steward for the next phase of growth," said Tyler Page, CEO of Cipher. "We were willing to take a meaningful equity position because we see significant opportunity ahead for Canaan. Having worked alongside the Canaan team for years, we have strong conviction in their ability to execute, scale the platform, and drive sustained growth and improved valuation over time."Zhang continued, "ABC Projects feature industry-leading power pricing and offer a strong foundation for growth. In this pivotal year, we believe that Canaan is well positioned to capitalize on our strengths in technology and our expanding energy initiatives."The Company's recently announced energy strategy marks a transition from an opportunistic, asset-light power approach to a systematic upstream development model centered on direct U.S. power applications, with the goal of building a robust project pipeline capable of securing substantial load by the end of 2026, potentially at gigawatt scale.

MT Newswires · Nov-26-2025 9:00 AM ET
09:00 AM EST, 11/26/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Cipher Mining (CIFR.NaE) said Wednesday that it has delivered a notice of redemption to redeem all of its outstanding warrants to purchase shares of its common stock.

The warrants may be exercised until Dec. 26 to purchase fully paid and non-assessable common shares, at the exercise price of $11.50 per share, Cipher Mining (CIFR.NaE) said.

Nice move from Cipher Mining. Looks like the dip to $13 on Friday was at least a short term bottom. In the video I break down why it bounced and what we can expect in the future from a technical aspect.

Cipher Mining shares surge after company lands $830 million AI hosting deal
November 20 2025 - 10:52AM

Cipher Mining Inc. (NASDAQ:CIFR) saw its stock jump 12% on Thursday after unveiling a major 10-year AI hosting agreement with Fluidstack, locking in roughly $830 million in contracted revenue.

Under the new deal, Cipher will supply an additional 39 MW of critical IT load—supported by up to 56 MW of gross capacity—at its Barber Lake facility in Colorado City, Texas. With this expansion, Fluidstack is slated to lease the entire 300 MW of capacity available at Barber Lake.

The contract also includes two optional five-year extensions. If exercised, those add-ons would raise total contracted revenue tied to this agreement to around $2.0 billion, and lift the total value of the broader partnership to approximately $9.0 billion.

In a significant show of support, Google agreed to backstop an additional $333 million of Fluidstack’s lease commitments to facilitate project-related lending. This boosts Google’s total backstop across its partnership with Fluidstack and Cipher to $1.73 billion.

To fund the build-out, Cipher plans to rely on project financing along with about $118 million in additional equity. The company estimates development costs of roughly $9–$10 million per MW of critical IT load and anticipates Net Operating Income margins in the 85%–90% range for the site.



Kiwi

After some more DD ...will add some CIFR next week ...especially on any drop in Bitcoin.
They'll have $750m a yr revenue coming from AWS and Fuildstack by end of 2026 provided they build out Black Pearl phase 2 for AI ...not bitcoin ...which I expect them to do .
Less risk then IREN and further along in their transition to AI centers than WULF
Kiwi

Maybe but from what I've read theres been some major forced selling / margin calls , once Bitcoin dropped below 92K.
Traders are hoping that the $82K-$85 K is the new base ...otherwise its a test of the April lows .
The crypto fear and greed index is at 2022 lows ...so I added a little IREN when it got close to $40 , may add CIFR next week.

The back drop for the miners switching to AI data centers is that they still relying on bitcoin income to help finance the transition.
So they are currently hurt by both a drop in the hash rate ( what they make producing the bitcoin ) and what they can sell it for ...a double negative.
CIFR hold 1500 bitcoin ...so the drop in value certainly hurts them . IREN sells theirs as soon as they produce it

What I need to do is spend some time on when these Co's will start generating more $ from the data centers they are building out . Definitely happening for IREN in 2026 , need to chk on WIFR
By the way ...some more DD on depreciation of these GPU's . Now think Chanos has it wrong .
Will be big for NVDA if US allows sales to China to resume ...and Chinese govt OK's purchases.

Kiwi

I wonder if at least partially, confidence in Bitcoin (and other cyber currencies) was slightly shaken lately by thoughts that quantum computing could blow it all up, albeit not in the very near future?

I think CIFR hold 1500 bitcoin in their " treasury " ...so a 30% drop in the value of that bitcoin is going to hurt . As well as future income if Bitcoin stay here or goes lower
Question is ...is bitcoin going to recover or disappear ?

Thursday morning, Cipher announced a 10-year high-performance computing (HPC) colocation agreement with Fluidstack, an AI cloud platform that builds and operates HPC clusters. Under the agreement, Cipher will deliver an additional 39 MW of critical IT load at its Barber Lake site in Colorado City, Texas.

The agreement represents approximately $830 million in contracted revenue over the initial 10-year term. It also includes two five-year extension options that would bring total contracted revenue to approximately $2 billion if exercised. Google will backstop an additional $333 million of Fluidstack’s lease obligations to support project-related debt.

“We’re excited to expand our partnerships with Fluidstack and Google as we develop the remaining current capacity at our Barber Lake site,” said Tyler Page, CEO of Cipher. “This third transaction further validates Cipher’s position as a leader in HPC development and underscores the strong momentum that will continue to drive growth across our pipeline of sites.”

In connection with the announcement, Cipher said it plans to offer $333 million of 7.125% senior secured notes due 2030 in a private offering to institutional investors. The company expects to use the net proceeds to finance a portion of the construction costs associated with additional facilities within the Barber Lake Facility.

Kiwi

Key difference is CIFR has Google backing / back stop ..$300 m guaranteed annually even if the GPU's they purchase now generate less revenue after 3-4 yrs
My quick take
Groks take
Cipher Mining Inc. (CIFR)'s GPU purchases for its AI data centers are indirectly funded and backstopped by Google through a major $3 billion, 10-year high-performance computing (HPC) colocation agreement with Fluidstack (an AI cloud provider). Google provides a $1.4 billion guarantee (backstop) on Fluidstack's lease obligations, which enables CIFR to secure favorable debt financing at lower costs and risk. This financial support is crucial for CIFR's capital-intensive GPU deployments, as the deal funds the buildout of GPU-equipped facilities (e.g., at Barber Lake, Texas) for NVIDIA-based AI workloads.While CIFR retains 100% ownership and directly purchases the GPUs (estimated at $9–$11 million per MW of critical IT load, including hardware like NVIDIA H100/Blackwell clusters), Google's backstop reduces borrowing costs and provides revenue certainty (~$300 million annually), making the GPU investments feasible without direct equity dilution beyond Google's ~5.4% warrant stake.


Kiwi

Looks like they have the power
The company primarily sources its electricity through long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) with providers, emphasizing low-cost, renewable energy to support its energy-intensive mining operations.
As of late 2025, Cipher operates multiple sites in Texas, with a focus on wind and solar power to achieve competitive costs (around 2.7–2.8 cents per kWh on average across contracts).

Kiwi

Well some questions definitely being raised at the amount of debt being raised and how short term that debt is
Cipher Mining Inc. (NASDAQ: CIFR) (“Cipher” or the “Company”), a leading developer and operator of industrial-scale data centers, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cipher Compute LLC (the “Issuer”), has priced a $1.4 billion offering (the “Offering”) of 7.125% senior secured notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) at par.

Due in 2030 !
So we're betting on a rapid build out ...fully energized running data center with a high paying client ...within roughly the next 4 -5 yrs .
That appears to be the bet ...and that CIFR's ex google guys can pull it off .

Theres also this

Cipher Mining Inc. (NASDAQ:CIFR) shares surged 15% on Monday after the company revealed a landmark $5.5 billion, 15-year lease agreement with Amazon Web Services (NASDAQ:AMZN) to supply turnkey space and power capacity tailored for AI workloads.

Under the agreement, Cipher will deliver 300 megawatts of capacity in 2026, featuring both air and liquid cooling systems. The rollout will occur in two phases, beginning in July 2026 and completing by the fourth quarter of 2026, with lease payments set to start in August 2026.

Alongside the AWS partnership, Cipher announced the creation of a new joint entity to develop a 1-gigawatt AI-focused site in West Texas, named “Colchis.” Cipher will provide most of the project’s financing, securing roughly 95% equity ownership in the venture.

The company also pointed to its existing 10-year AI hosting agreement with Fluidstack and Google, noting that — together with the AWS deal — its AI hosting contracts now represent approximately $8.5 billion in total lease payments.

I assume they're using the Fluidstack ,Google and now AWS lease payments to pay for this new note



Kiwi

Saw on my Fidelity feed that 2 people ( I assume insiders) sold 80,000 and 25,0000 shares today. Many reasons why people sell so no way to feel that it means anything in particular.

Anyone think CIFR could be another fabulous IREN or are the dynamics radically different?

The answer to my question

As of November 2025, Cipher Mining has secured significant committed and approved power capacity in Texas, with agreements totaling over 1.7 gigawatts (GW) for various data center projects. These commitments include partnerships with major technology companies and utility providers.

Key Texas projects include:
Colchis site (West Texas): A 1-gigawatt (GW) site being developed through a joint venture, with a fully executed Direct Connect Agreement with American Electric Power (AEP) for power availability targeted in 2028.

Barber Lake site (Colorado City): This site has a maximum gross capacity of 244 MW to support 168 MW of critical IT load. It is part of a 10-year hosting agreement for AI workloads with Fluidstack, backed by Google.

Unnamed Texas data center: A preliminary agreement with ENGIE North America allows Cipher to purchase up to 300 MW of clean energy from one of ENGIE's wind facilities.

Unnamed West Texas site: A 100 MW site, also known as Stingray, was acquired in November 2024. Power consumption is anticipated in the first half of 2026.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) lease: A 15-year lease provides 300 MW of AI infrastructure capacity, with deployment expected to begin in 2026.


Kiwi

They are obviously raising a lot of $ to fund their Texas expansion ...but I'm not clear on how much committed power they have for those sites .
Any insight on that ?
IREN is very clear on having 2.9GW in committed power

I believe GOOGL is tied in with CIFR. If your watching then you
Know as the price keeps going up the less shares your going to
to be able to by. My entry was in the 15.50 all the way up to 19.78
This stock for me is replacing QBTS which is way over priced.
While QBTS has Revenue its earnings is non existent. I took profits
If it comes back to reality I’ll buy some shares back. But right now
I think CIFR is in a much better position it has Massive Revenue
and Earnings that’s why I in it. CIFR reports NOV 3
Before Market Open and then a few days later it reports the

I CANT WAIT a double info week.
Try and find reasonably priced stocks that you would invest in
