Important points

- The company currently holds 18,005 BTC worth $1.7 billion.
Bitcoin mining and data center company Riot Platforms sold 1,818 Bitcoins for approximately $161 million in December 2025, reducing its total holdings to 18,005 Bitcoins (equivalent to $1.7 billion at current market prices).
The sale represents part of the company’s continued strategy to fund its expansion through Bitcoin liquidation. Riot has historically used Bitcoin sales and stock offerings as part of its business financing approach.
Riot also reported mining 460 bitcoins during the period, an 8% increase from November but an 11% decline year-over-year, according to monthly operating data released Tuesday.
The miner expanded the introduced hash rate to 38.5 EH/s and benefited from higher power and demand response credits, which totaled $6.2 million in December. Riot’s total electricity costs have dropped slightly to 3.9 cents per kilowatt-hour, and the efficiency of its vehicles has improved over the years.
Riot said December will be its last monthly production update and that future disclosures will shift to quarterly reports focused on business results and data center strategy.
