Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
Our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, which was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements, and our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements provided herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to
rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). However, in our opinion, the disclosures made therein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. We believe the unaudited interim financial statements herein furnished reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All of these adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The interim consolidated results of operations and cash flows are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results of operations and cash flows that might be expected for the entire year. These consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Debtor-in Possession
Debtor-in Possession
On the Effective Date, the Company emerged from bankruptcy and was no longer considered debtors-in-possession under the Bankruptcy Code.
Digital Assets
Digital Assets
Currently the Company is required by its existing debt agreements to sell bitcoin it earns within ten days of receipt. Sales of digital assets awarded to the Company through its self-mining activities are classified as cash flows from operating activities.
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets (“ASU 2023-08”). ASU 2023-08 is intended to improve the accounting for certain crypto assets by requiring an entity to measure those crypto assets at fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The amendments also improve the information provided to investors about an entity’s crypto asset holdings by requiring disclosure about significant holdings, contractual sale restrictions, and changes during the reporting period. ASU 2023-08 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted.
The Company’s digital assets are within the scope of ASU 2023-08 and the Company elected to early adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2024. The transition guidance requires a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the current fiscal year for any difference between the carrying amount of the Company’s digital assets and fair value.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Some of the more significant estimates include assumptions used to estimate the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, the valuation of digital assets, other intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, the initial measurement of lease liabilities, the fair value of derivative liabilities, and income taxes. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ from management’s estimates.
Performance Obligations -Hosting Segment and Deferred Revenue
Performance Obligations - Hosting Segment    
The Company’s performance obligations primarily relate to hosting services, which are described below. The Company has performance obligations associated with commitments in customer hosting contracts for future services that have not yet been recognized in the financial statements. As of March 31, 2024, for contracts with original terms that exceed one year (typically ranging from 15 to 24 months), we expect to recognize approximately $58.3 million of revenue in the future related to performance obligations associated with existing hosting contracts. The Company expects to recognize approximately 89% of this amount over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter.
Deferred Revenue
The Company records contract liabilities in Deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheets when cash payments are received in advance of performance and recognizes them as revenue when the performance obligations are satisfied. The Company’s total deferred revenue balance as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, was $9.3 million and $9.8 million, respectively.
In the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized $6.4 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of the beginning of the year.
In the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized $11.6 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of the beginning of the year.
Advanced payments for hosting services are typically recognized in the following month and are generally recognized within one year.
Convertible and Other Notes Payable
Convertible and Other Notes Payable
Convertible and other notes payable (“Notes payable”) are accounted for under ASC 470, Debt (“ASC 470”) are presented at their carrying value, which is their remaining par or face amount net of any related unamortized premium, discount and issuance costs. Notes payable are initially recognized at their present value. When cash proceeds are received for the issuance of Notes payable the proceeds are used to establish their present value. When cash proceeds are not received for the issuance of Notes payable their present value is based on the consideration exchanged. This present value generally will be the Notes payable’s cash flows discounted at a market rate when it is more evident than the noncash consideration exchanged. When the present value of Notes payable on issuance varies from its par or face amount, an original discount or premium results and any related issuance costs are used to determine an effective interest rate. Original premium, discount and issuance costs are amortized using the level effective rate interest method. Amortization is recognized as a component of current interest expense.
Notes payable are evaluated at issuance to determine whether or not they have features or terms which would be treated as embedded derivatives that are required to be bifurcated under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). At December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024, Notes payable did not have any embedded derivatives required to be bifurcated.
Contingent Value Rights Liabilities and Warrant Liabilities
Contingent Value Rights Liabilities
As described in Note 7 — Contingent Value Rights and Warrant Liabilities, on the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, the Company entered into a contingent value rights agreement (the “Contingent Value Rights Agreement”) which provides for the issuance of the contingent value rights (the “CVRs”) to certain creditors and provides for the issuance of CVRs issued to holders of allowed general unsecured claims (“GUC”) (in such capacity, the “GUC Payees”) (the “GUC CVRs”). The CVRs and GUC CVRs are equity-linked instruments which are either only cash settled or in some instances share settled at the Company’s sole discretion. The Company determined that these equity-linked instruments are not indexed to the Company’s stock and are required to be recognized as liabilities which are, initially and subsequently, measured at fair value with changes in value reflected in Net income (loss).
Warrant Liabilities
As described in Note 7 — Contingent Value Rights and Warrant Liabilities, on the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, holders of the Company’s previous common stock received warrants. The warrants are equity-linked instruments. The Company determined that these equity-linked instruments are not indexed to the Company’s stock and are required to be recognized as liabilities which are, initially and subsequently, measured at fair value with changes in value reflected in Net income (loss).
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which will improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This update will be effective for the Company during the annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. Under this ASU, public business entities must annually “(1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income [or loss] by the applicable statutory income tax rate).” This update will be effective for the Company during the annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

There are no other new accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis in certain circumstances. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 — Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 — Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.
The Company uses observable market data when determining fair value whenever possible and relies on unobservable inputs only when observable market data is not available.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
In October 2023, the Company entered into an energy forward purchase contract to fix a specified component of the energy price related to forecasted energy purchases at the Cottonwood 1 facility from November 1, 2023 through May 31, 2024 (the “Energy Derivatives”). The Energy Derivatives are recognized as derivatives in accordance with ASC 815 initially and subsequently measured at fair value with changes in value reflected in Net income (loss). At March 31, 2024 observable Level 2 inputs, such as forward energy prices and discount rates, were available for the energy forward purchase contract.
The CVRs, GUC CVRs and Warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815 initially and subsequently measured at fair value with changes in value reflected in Net income (loss). When these instruments were recognized on the Effective Date, observable market data was not available. At March 31, 2024 observable Level 1 market data was available for the CVRs and Warrants.
The CVRs and warrants had no balance at December 31, 2023, on the Effective Date they were measured using Level 3 inputs as no market existed for them at that time. Since the Effective Date active markets have developed for those instruments and the Company uses Level 1 quoted market prices for their valuation at March 31, 2024.
All transfers into and out of Level 3 are assumed to occur at the beginning of the quarterly reporting period in which they occur. As of December 31, 2023, there were no Level 3 financial instruments.
Nonrecurring fair value measurements
The Company’s non-financial assets, including property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets are measured at estimated fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are adjusted to fair value only when an impairment is recognized, or the underlying asset is held for sale.
No non-financial assets were classified as Level 3 as of March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company’s financial instruments, that are not subject to recurring fair value measurements, include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable, leases, notes payable and certain accrued expenses and other liabilities. Except for the Convertible Notes, the carrying amount of these financial instruments materially approximate their fair values.
