Riot Platforms achieves record-breaking Bitcoin output following AI upgrades, marking a significant milestone in its expansion into the artificial intelligence and high-performance computing sectors.
Riot Platforms Hits Post-Halving Bitcoin Production High as It Expands AI Capacity
Riot mined 533 BTC in March 2025—up 13% from February and 25% year-over-year, marking its highest monthly output since the halving.
A Feasibility Study Validates Corsicana Facility’s Potential for AI/HPC Growth
A study by ‘Altman Solon’ validates 600 MW development potential at the company’s Corsicana facility, for a total of 1.0 GW secured power and strategic proximity to Dallas. The site’s ability to support both inference and cloud-based workloads strengthens its appeal to AI/HPC tenants.
The Corsicana facility, located in Texas, is a former asylum and hospital complex that operated from the early 20th century.
Established in 1913, it was designed to accommodate approximately 2,000 patients.
The facility's architecture is notable for its Art Deco style and sprawling layout.
During its operational years, the Corsicana facility underwent several expansions and renovations.
However, due to declining patient numbers and rising costs, it was eventually closed in the late 1990s.
Today, the site remains abandoned and is a popular destination for urban explorers and history enthusiasts.
Strong Operational Performance in March 2025
Riot Platforms reported strong operational performance in March 2025, highlighted by continued expansion into the artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) sector. The company’s bitcoin production last month rose to 533 BTC, representing a month-on-month increase of 13% and 25% more than a year before.
Bitcoin holdings grew to 19,223 BTC, while operating hash rate increased to 30.3 EH/s (+3% MoM), fleet efficiency improved to 21.0 J/TH, and bitcoin holdings grew to 19,223 BTC. Riot maintained a steady deployed hash rate of 33.7 EH/s.
Riot said it plans to ‘aggressively pursue’ development of its Corsicana facility to capitalize on rising demand for compute infrastructure used in AI and HPC. The company’s shares fell 5.5% Friday, while the Nasdaq 100 index dropped 2.8%. They have lost 35% year-to-date.
Riot Platforms is looking to use its computing capacity to provide services to the AI and HPC industries. A recently completed feasibility study by industry consultant ‘Altman Solon’ confirmed the significant potential of the site to support up to 600 megawatts of additional capacity for AI/HPC applications.
