# Riot Platforms, Inc.

> Riot Platforms is a publicly traded digital-infrastructure company that mines Bitcoin, develops and operates large power-dense data centers, and manufactures and deploys electrical infrastructure through ESS Metron and E4A Solutions. Its defining asset is not a coin or a server but access to large blocks of grid-connected power: a 2.0 GW approved pipeline, more than 1,300 controlled acres, and operating campuses in Texas and Kentucky. That base now serves two markets - variable Bitcoin rewards and long-term high-performance-computing leases - with AMD as a named tenant and a 191 MW frontier-AI lease announced in August 2026.
