Based on an estimated approximate 8-year useful life of purchased miners and includes estimates of both infrastructure and miner capital expenditures required to build out the first 400MW of capacity at the Corsicana facility. Cash flow calculations based on a Gross Profit basis (Revenue – Net Power Costs). Assumes a power cost of $35/MWh, inclusive of impact of potential power curtailment credits, ancillary services, etc. BTC forecast based on a 2% monthly escalator applied to the base BTC price assumption. Monthly network growth is assumed to decline by half in April 2028 due to the impact of the Epoch 6 halving. Monthly Network Growth • The price of Bitcoin is highly correlated to network growth • As Bitcoin price increases, less efficient miners are incentivized to join the network • Conversely, in periods of price decline high-cost miners leave the network • Riot’s low power cost positions the company to be a low-cost producer
