Soluna Reports Revenue Surge, Profitability Dip
Soluna Holdings, a company focused on renewable-powered data centers for Bitcoin mining and AI, announced a significant 145% year-over-year revenue increase for the second quarter, reaching $15.1 million. This growth was driven by expanding operations, including its Project Kati 1 which completed 48 MW of construction and achieved its first positive site gross profit.
Despite the strong revenue performance, consolidated profitability weakened. Gross profit fell 60% from the previous quarter to $766,000. Soluna cited increased maintenance costs at its recently acquired Briscoe Wind Farm, ramp-up expenses at Project Kati 1, and depreciation as primary factors. The company also reported a wider net loss of $22.6 million, partly due to a $4.2 million loss on debt extinguishment.
To finance its growth, acquisitions, and operating needs, Soluna significantly increased its outstanding common shares by 120% in the first half of the year, raising over $132 million through equity issuance. While the company has substantial data center projects planned, only 192 MW are currently operational, highlighting the ongoing development phase of its ambitious expansion strategy.
