Sphere 3D Reports Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results and Operational Updates
STAMFORD, Connecticut, March 28, 2025 - Sphere 3D Corp. ("Sphere 3D" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: ANY), a Bitcoin mining company, is pleased to announce financial results for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
COMMENTS FROM SPHERE 3D LEADERSHIP
2024 was a year of transition for Sphere 3D. Following the Bitcoin halving in the first half of the year, we focused on cycling out of high-cost hosting partners, streamlining SG&A expenses, and laying the groundwork for vertical integration. Every four years, the halving marks a pivotal moment for Bitcoin mining companies. As an operations-driven business, long-term strategies often take time to show results, but we are pleased with the direction we are heading. Our move toward owning and operating our own infrastructure marks a major milestone. The launch of our first site in March 2025 signals a meaningful shift in our strategic focus.
2024 HIGHLIGHTS
BITCOIN ASSET AND VALUE
