Riot Platforms announced the sale of 1818 BTC worth $161,6 million at an average price of $88,870 per coin as part of its transition from Bitcoin mining to monetizing its infrastructure through data centers. According to the mining company, the sale took place in December 2025.
According to Bitcointreasuries.net, Riot ranks seventh among publicly traded companies by the amount of Bitcoin in reserves.
As of December 31, Riot Platforms’ Bitcoin reserves totaled 18,000 BTC. This is down from November’s total, when reserves exceeded 19,360 BTC.
The company also announced that the December report will be its last, as Riot Platforms is transitioning to a quarterly disclosure schedule. Every three months, it will report on overall business metrics, strategy, and progress in data centers and Bitcoin mining.
Last October, the company announced that cryptocurrency mining was no longer its ultimate goal. The organization decided to repurpose its energy infrastructure to support a 1-gigawatt AI-powered data center.
Recently, mining companies have increasingly sought additional sources of income beyond BTC mining. This is due to the reduction in rewards following the 2024 halving. For example, in November 2025, IREN signed a five-year, $9,7 billion agreement with Microsoft to deploy Nvidia GB300 GPUs in its data centers.
