−Removed: power, in terms of the number of hashing algorithms solved (or “hashes”) per second, which is the miner’s “hash
−Removed: rate.” We participate in mining pools that pool the resources of groups of miners and split cryptocurrency rewards earned according

−Removed: Affecting Profitability
−Removed: business is heavily dependent on the market price of Bitcoin.

−Removed: Further affecting the industry, and particularly for the Bitcoin blockchain, the cryptocurrency reward for solving
−Removed: a block is subject to periodic incremental halving.

−Removed: At a predetermined block, the mining reward is cut in half,
−Removed: hence the term “halving”.
−Removed: For Bitcoin the reward was initially set at 50 Bitcoin currency rewards per block.
−Removed: blockchain has undergone halving three times since its inception as follows:
−Removed: (1) on November 28, 2012 at block 210,000;
−Removed: (2) on July 9,
−Removed: 2016 at block 420,000;
−Removed: and (3) on May 11, 2020 at block 630,000, when the reward was reduced to its current level of 6.25 Bitcoin per
−Removed: The next halving for the Bitcoin blockchain is anticipated to occur in March 2024 at block 840,000, when the reward will be reduced
−Removed: to 3.125 Bitcoin per block.
−Removed: This process will reoccur until the total amount of Bitcoin currency rewards issued reaches 21 million and
−Removed: the theoretical supply of new Bitcoin is exhausted.
−Removed: Many factors influence the price of Bitcoin, and potential increases or decreases
−Removed: in prices in advance of, or following, a future halving is unknown.
−Removed: have historically mined and held Bitcoin exclusively, which we may sell to fund our operating and capital expenditures.

−Removed: business is heavily dependent on the market price of Bitcoin, which has experienced substantial volatility and has recently dropped to
−Removed: its lowest price since December 2020.

−Removed: 60% since the beginning of 2022, and of approximately 75% from its all-time high of approximately $ 67,000 .
−Removed: In addition, the cost of natural
−Removed: gas that we use to produce electricity to power our miners has increased substantially.
−Removed: The cost of natural gas in the United States
−Removed: during 2022 has increased by as much as approximately 260% since the beginning of 2022.
−Removed: These price movements result in decreased cryptocurrency

+Added: The key unobservable inputs in the valuation model are the volatility that is appropriate to use in the Company stock price
+Added: and the yield that is appropriate for the Company.
+Added: These inputs could change significantly and result in significantly higher or lower
+Added: fair values at different measurement dates.
+Added: The Company considers the fair value of its debt to be a Level 3 measurement on the fair
+Added: value hierarchy.
+Added: At conversion on October 11, 2023, the fair value was determined using the Company’s common stock price.
+Added: The fair value of the Company’s warrant liabilities is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.
+Added: model incorporates certain assumptions for inputs including a risk-free market interest rate, expected dividend yield of the underlying
+Added: common stock, expected warrant life, and expected volatility in the market value of the underlying common stock.
+Added: were no assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
