Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
So we're extremely excited about where we sit in respect to the AI Cloud Services business and we anticipate continuing to grow this strongly over the coming months and years
2024 is a good year for us on the Bitcoin mining side
We're obviously continue to be very excited
Look, it is optionality but equally, it's just two discrete, super exciting business models that we're charging full steam ahead at
We're in a good position
So this is an attribute that we're also super excited about the diverse revenue lines, where you've got the ability to charge forward aggressively on the infrastructure build out, knowing that you've got the ability to deploy Bitcoin or AI
We're excited about the re-brand
So I think the ability to be so well positioned for that tailwind and continue to snowball momentum as we be prudent around capital allocation and make sure that we continue to deliver what we're seeing is a top class customer service is something that we're really focused on
We received a fantastic level of interest from a customer perspective for those 248 GPUs that we are now delivering to Poolside AI
In fact, we've delivered so well that the energy companies are now seeing that our performance, seeing the reliability
And I think that convenience, when you think about the end customer market with all these generative AI start-ups, all these corporates who are all dipping their toes into AI, the convenience, the ease of use, the ability to click a button and get into our cloud environment is a real competitive advantage, I believe, going forward as distinct from simply giving up our infrastructure for someone else to monetize on our behalf
The internal expertise we've got around not just the infrastructure and the real assets but the technology and software layers that sit above that, I think is emerging as a real competitive advantage
But the price point, the quality, the flexibility around structure, for example, that 9 exahash option agreement is a really compelling opportunity for us and our investors
So we're super excited about the outlook for us in terms of our Bitcoin mining business
We're extremely happy with the pre-market service we get, the post-market service, the quality of the hardware
We feel like we're in a really strong position
We've got a strong market position, access to ongoing capital for growth
We're very excited about the efficiency gains that we will see as we approach that 20 exahash
Given that we've got the outlook for AI that we do and the growth we're seeing there, as well as the strength in Bitcoin, what these ETFs are doing, mopping up 10x to 15x the available daily supply
We believe we're at the beginning of 2 enormous multi-decade tailwinds with Bitcoin and AI and the ability to capitalize on both of those tailwinds through 1 platform and 1 common set of infrastructure is something that we're really excited about
So that's been a fantastic strategy and profit centering of its own right for us
So we're very excited about the local dynamic there for power and our ability to dynamically manage it to optimize our cost base and profitability
We have a very strong balance sheet with total net assets of $382 million which provides flexibility to fund our future growth
We've got very strong cyber security protocols that were developed early on
And for us, given the data centers that we've built, the multi-functionality of those data centers, the ability to order GPUs and either replace existing ASICs or plug it into new data center capacity that is agnostic as to whether it is used for Bitcoin mining or GPUs gives us enormous flexibility to capitalize on a thematic that we're extremely excited about, being AI
We believe artificial intelligence, the development we're seeing around there is a super exciting theme over the next 10 to 15 years
As you can see, with the current Bitcoin price around $50,000 and I believe it's just under $52,000 as of today and using the current global hashrate, the annualized hardware profit is very healthy at both the 10 exahash and as we grow to 20 exahash, looking at around just under $200 million of annualized hardware profit
So, firstly, I'm going to say, I'm extremely excited about the rebrand and our expansion to the 20 exahash by the end of the year, as well as our tripling, our growing AI Cloud Services business
Maybe there's more but just those 2 alone are extremely exciting for us as we have an outlook and give us the ability to really be competitive in a market
We have a competitive advantage which I think is now becoming clear
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
And I know, we were cautious around it
Our hashrate was consistent across both periods and due to the increase in global hashrate, we saw a 6% or 79% drop in Bitcoin mined
We were hesitant when queried around this over the last few years, because until we did it and made sure we didn't miss anything, it was prudent to do so
We're seeing the forward curve for power starting to soften
