Bitcoin (BTC) miner Greenidge Generation (GREE) posted fourth-quarter revenue of $44.3 million, up 617% from a year ago, and roughly in line with the FactSet consensus of analysts at $44.5 million.

Greenidge reported adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of $19.1 million, up from $1.2 million a year ago, and matching analyst estimates.
The company mined 609 bitcoin in Q4, a 167% rise from 228 in the same quarter in a year earlier. For all 2021, Greenidge mined 1,866 bitcoin versus 1,146 in 2020.
As of Dec. 31, Greenidge had approximately 17,300 miners with an aggregate hash rate capacity of about 1.4 exahash per second (EH/s), and in the earnings release reiterated hashrate guidance of 4.7 EH/s by the end of 2022.
The miner this month agreed to a request by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for the agency to extend, for a second time, the deadline to complete its review of the renewal application for the Title V Air Permit at the company’s New York facility. The new date is June 30.
“Greenidge continues to operate in New York without interruption during this period and intends to continue to work constructively with the Department to finalize a permit renewal,” the company said in the statement. “It is not uncommon for renewal applicants to operate for extended periods of time, sometimes years, prior to finalizing a permit renewal and additional future extensions may be requested," the miner added.
Greenidge shares are lower by nearly 50% year to date, and down 2.2% in after-hours action on Thursday evening.
