1A. Risk Factors.
There are no updates or changes to the risk factors
set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 except as set forth below.
Our business could
be harmed by prolonged power and internet outages, shortages, or capacity constraints.
Our operations require
a significant amount of electrical power and access to high-speed internet to be successful. If we are unable to secure sufficient electrical
power, or if we lose internet access for a prolonged period, we may be required to reduce our operations or cease them altogether. If
this occurs, our business and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
We are subject
to risks associated with our need for significant electrical power.
Our operations have required
significant amounts of electrical power, and, as we continue to expand our mining fleet, we anticipate our demand for electrical power
will continue to grow. If we are unable to continue to obtain sufficient electrical power on a cost-effective basis, we may not realize
the anticipated benefits of our significant capital investments.
Additionally, our operations
could be materially adversely affected by prolonged power outages. Therefore, we may have to reduce or cease our operations in the event
of an extended power outage, or as a result of the unavailability or increased cost of electrical power. If this were to occur, our business
and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
