SATO Technologies Corp. (TSXV:SATO) (OTCQB: CCPUF) (the "Company", or "SATO") a provider of high-density compute infrastructure, today announced its unaudited financial results for Q2 2025. Please refer to the Company's Financial Statements and the accompanying Management's Discussion and Analysis for full details and discussion of the results, copies of which have been filed and are available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and are available on the Company's website (www.bysato.com). All amounts are in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated.
Q2 2025 - Transitioning Through Industry Headwinds
The second quarter of 2025 reflected the impact of the April 2024 Bitcoin halving and record-high network difficulty. The halving reduced block rewards by 50%, while global competition drove hashrate to approximately 920 EH/s, lowering the amount of BTC earned per unit of compute.
Despite this, SATO maintained strong uptime, experienced no Q2 load shedding, avoided downtime, and continued to run one of the most efficient fleets in the sector. Our average realized Bitcoin price was ~50% higher than last year, helping offset reduced production.
Key Results
Positive mining profit: Gross profit before depreciation and amortization (non-IFRS measure): Center One operations generated $431,505 for the three months and $1,267,170 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
Cost discipline: Decreased site opex, repairs, and depreciation year-over-year.
Operational gains: Downtime cut to ~1% in Q2 from 12% in Q1.
Digital Asset Treasury Strategy: The Company is evaluating a strategy to increase its Bitcoin holdings and leverage them to mine additional Bitcoin, with the objective of enhancing mNAV and Bitcoin per share over time.
AI Factory: SATO also advanced its AI transition and for the six months ended June 30, 2025, management estimates that approximately $427,000 has been invested in this initiative.
These efforts are focused on:
AI Factory design at Center One with top-tier contractors.
Financing, where the Company has received non-binding expressions of interest for up to $25 million in equity and up to $100 million in debt from institutional parties, while also advancing Federal and Provincial grant applications.
Client development, actively engaging with prospective customers for GPU hosting opportunities.
"Q2 marks an inflection point: halving headwinds are visible, but so is our shift toward sustainable, contracted AI cash flows. Our core strengths -- low-cost clean hydro energy, operational discipline, and adaptability -- now underpin SATO's next phase of growth. While we have not yet achieved net profitability, our operations remain cash flow positive, and we are deliberately reinvesting into AI infrastructure and digital asset strategies that we believe will drive long-term shareholder value," said Romain Nouzareth, Chair and CEO of SATO.
