Riot Blockchain third quarter revenue falls short of analyst estimates

Bitcoin mining company Riot Blockchain fell short in the third quarter, missing analyst targets for revenue. Riot posted a net loss of $36.6 million, or 24 cents a share, compared to $15.3 million, or 16 cents a share, from a year earlier, the company said. Revenue dipped 28% to $46.3 million, missing what Bloomberg said was a $54.2 million analyst expectation. Despite the decreasing revenue, Riot is still in relatively strong shape compared to other mining firms. Iris Energy faces default claims, Core Scientific warned it might have trouble paying its debts and Argo said it was in a similar position.
