Greenidge Secures $6 Million Investment from Armistice Capital
Greenidge Generation Holdings Inc. has announced that it has secured a $6 million investment from Armistice Capital as part of its growth strategy for 2023. The investment will be used to expand into new low-cost power centers, enhance bitcoin mining capabilities, develop engineering, procurement, and construction management business, and fund new AI infrastructure and data centers.
Under the agreement, Armistice Capital will invest $6 million in exchange for 1,260,505 shares and pre-funded warrants, each priced at $4.76. Armistice will also receive warrants to purchase an additional 1,260,505 shares at $5.25 per share, totaling $6.62 million.
This investment comes after Greenidge’s recent announcement of its first profitable quarter in two years. For the fourth quarter of 2023, the company reported net income ranging from $1.4 million to $2.4 million, adjusted EBITDA between $1.6 million and $2.6 million, and earnings per share ranging from $0.18 to $0.32. Additionally, Greenidge reduced its debt by $85.3 million, accounting for over 54% of its total debt.
Greenidge Generation Holdings Inc., listed on NASDAQ:GREE, specializes in vertically integrated power generation with a focus on cryptocurrency mining and related infrastructure development.
Despite recent challenges such as high price volatility and a significant debt burden, Greenidge has seen a return of 43.81% over the last week. The company’s cash reserves are depleting rapidly, and its short-term obligations exceed its liquid assets, posing liquidity risks. However, analysts predict that with the new capital infusion, Greenidge could become profitable this year, marking a potential turning point for the company as it expands its operations.
