Cipher Mining exceeds Q2 hashrate guidance with Black Pearl phase I

NEW YORK - Cipher Mining Inc. (NASDAQ:CIFR), currently valued at $1.82 billion, announced Wednesday that Phase I of its Black Pearl facility is now delivering approximately 3.4 EH/s of self-mining capacity, exceeding the company’s previous guidance of 2.5 EH/s for the second quarter of 2025. According to InvestingPro data, the stock has shown strong momentum with a 27% return over the past week.

The company’s total self-mining hashrate has reached approximately 16.8 EH/s, with plans to scale to about 23.1 EH/s upon completion of installation, according to a press release statement. Hashrate at the Black Pearl site is expected to continue increasing through the third quarter as new mining rigs replace legacy units. With analysts projecting profitability this year, InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently trading near its Fair Value, with 12 additional exclusive insights available to subscribers.

Cipher also released its unaudited production and operations update for June 2025, reporting approximately 160 bitcoin mined during the month. This figure includes power sales estimates equivalent to about 5 bitcoin and approximately 19 bitcoin mined at joint venture data centers representing Cipher’s ownership.

The company sold about 58 bitcoin in June as part of its treasury management process, ending the month with a balance of approximately 1,063 bitcoin. Operating with a moderate debt level and a current ratio of 1.11, Cipher maintains a stable financial position despite the volatile nature of cryptocurrency mining.

June production numbers reflect Cipher’s strategic decision to implement more deliberate curtailment as part of its 4CP (Four Coincident Peak) avoidance strategy, which the company states allowed it to avoid costly penalties while maintaining low power costs.

As of the end of June, Cipher had 104,000 deployed mining rigs with a month-end operating hashrate of 16.8 EH/s and a fleet efficiency of 20.8 J/TH.

Cipher Mining focuses on developing and operating industrial-scale data centers for bitcoin mining and high-performance computing hosting.
