   1.                                                   With a view towards
revised disclosure, advise whether you are dependent on any
                                                        platform to liquidate
your bitcoin or convert it into fiat currency. Address the company's
                                                        reliance on any such
platform. Additionally, please discuss how recent market events,
                                                        including the
bankruptcies of certain crypto market participants, and the downstream
                                                        effects of those events
have impacted or may impact your business, service providers,
                                                        counterparties and
market in which you operate, either directly or indirectly. For
                                                        example, discuss the
potential impact of the platform limiting its services as a result of
                                                        these events.

2.       We note your response to prior comment 2. In light of the "depressed
Bitcoin mining
         economics" you describe in your most recent quarterly report, please
provide the data that
         supports your statement that you are able to "produce Bitcoin at a
cost that we believe is
         attractive versus the price of Bitcoin, and generally below the
prevailing market price of
         power that many of our peers must pay." In this regard, revise your
disclosure to include
         a    breakeven analysis    comparing the value of one mined Bitcoin to
your cost to mine the
         one Bitcoin. Your analysis should identify and explain the inputs used
in your

may have on your
         business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Additionally, with a view towards
         revised disclosure, advise whether there are any material risks to the

         year moratorium on issuing permits for certain cryptocurrency mining
operations that use
         carbon-based power sources or the possibility of similar laws being
enacted in the United
         States.
4.       We note that on November 30, 2022, you were notified by Nasdaq that
the Company is
         not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirements for
continued listing on The
         Nasdaq Global Market. Please include a recent development section in
your prospectus
         summary to disclose the Nasdaq notification letter and the impact on
your Company if
         you are unable to regain compliance. Additionally, to the extent
material, describe any of
         the following risks due to disruptions in the crypto asset markets:

                Risk from depreciation in your stock price.

                Risk of loss of customer demand for your products and services.

                Financing risk, including equity and debt financing.

                Risk of increased losses or impairments in your investments or

              threatened, in the United States or in other jurisdictions
against you or your affiliates.

                Risks from price declines or price volatility of crypto assets.

the private keys
         used to store crypto assets held for your own account or for that of
your customers on
         page 34 of your annual report on Form 10-K. With a view towards
revised disclosure,
         please clarify whether, with respect to your hosting services or other

       potential conflicts of interest. Describe any policies and procedures
you have regarding
       the commingling of assets, including customer assets, your assets, and
