New York-based <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/crypto-mining-faces-backlash-in-new-york-greenidge-generation-in-hot-waters/">Greenidge</a> Generation Holdings, a key player in the power generation and Bitcoin mining sectors, has announced a major strategic shift. The company will now retain a significant portion of the Bitcoin it mines, moving away from its previous strategy of selling most of its mined Bitcoin immediately. This new approach aims to strengthen Greenidge's liquidity position and capitalize on the long-term potential of Bitcoin as a valuable asset. 
Until now, Greenidge has maintained a policy of liquidating almost all of its mined Bitcoin to secure immediate cash flow. As of March 31, the company's digital asset holdings were limited to just $301,000. However, the company is now adjusting its strategy to better align with its growth objectives and the broader market trend of Bitcoin accumulation. 
Greenidge's CEO, Jordan Kovler, emphasized the strategic importance of this decision. He stated, "As we continue to expand our mining operations across the country, retaining more of the Bitcoin we earn from our <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/riot-battles-texas-heat-to-produce-410-btc-and-stabilize-energy-grid/">self-mining</a> activities is a logical evolution of our strategy and aligns with our belief in both Bitcoin and Greenidge’s long-term growth prospects." This move reflects a broader industry trend where firms are increasingly viewing Bitcoin not only as a source of immediate revenue but also as a long-term investment asset, according to <a href="https://theminermag.com/news/2024-08-01/bitcoin-greenidge-hodl-raise/">TheMinerMag</a>. 
Greenidge boasts a robust infrastructure, with 122 megawatts of total energy capacity, allowing it to generate revenue through power sales, Bitcoin mining, and <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/bitcoin-mining-reshaping-landscape-amid-global-interest-surge/">hosting</a> services. In the first quarter, the <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/terawulf-soars-to-record-revenue-with-330-btc-mined-in-july-2023/">company mined</a> 134 BTC for itself and an additional 275 BTC on behalf of NYDIG. The average cost of revenue across its three business segments was approximately $59.8 per megawatt-hour (mWh). This competitive cost structure allows Greenidge to maintain profitability while adapting its strategy to changing market dynamics. 
In addition to its operational shift, Greenidge has entered into a stock purchase agreement with B. Riley Principal Capital to support its expansion and new Bitcoin retention strategy. The agreement provides Greenidge with the option to sell up to $20 million of its Class A common stock to B. Riley, thereby securing financial backing for its growth plans.
