Soluna Reports Revenue Growth of 80.5% to $38 million for 2024

Project pipeline growth, cash growth, and capital structure simplification highlight the focus and execution in core business.

ALBANY, NY, April 1, 2025 - Soluna Holdings, Inc. (“Soluna Holdings” or the “Company”), (NASDAQ: SLNH), a developer of green data centers for intensive computing applications including Bitcoin mining and AI, announced financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2024.

“Our 2024 results reflect continued momentum and strong execution across our core businesses of Bitcoin hosting, mining, and demand response services,” said John Belizaire, CEO of Soluna Holdings.

“We broke ground on Project Dorothy 2, which will increase our Bitcoin Hosting capacity to 123 MW when fully ramped. We significantly expanded our project pipeline and launched our AI/HPC business to meet the growing demand for sustainable AI compute. These milestones mark a pivotal phase of growth and validate our long-term strategy to lead the next wave of clean, efficient infrastructure for Bitcoin Hosting and AI,” continued John Belizaire.

“We terminated our HPE GPU-as-a-Service contract to mitigate losses seen in the second half of 2024 and enable us to focus on the growth of our substantial pipeline of projects into AI/HPC data centers during 2025, beginning with Project Kati,” said John Tunison, CFO of Soluna Holdings.

“Additionally, we have made substantial progress towards simplifying our capital structure, including reducing our Convertible Loan Notes to zero and securing modifications to the terms of our Series B Preferred Stock, which we believe strengthens our ability to raise the growth capital needed to execute on our strategic plan and has resulted in positive cash flow from our core business for the first time,” continued John Tunison.

2024 Operational and Corporate Highlights:

	●	Record revenue grew by 80.5%, reaching $38.0 million, compared to $21.1 million in 2023.

	●	Our sites operated at a high operational efficiency and produced strong financial results despite the “halving” of Bitcoin in April 2024.

	●	Project Dorothy 1A and 1B were online for the full year of 2024, generating $13.7 million and $17.0 million in Bitcoin hosting and mining revenue, respectively.

	●	Demand Response Services (“DRS”) commenced in December 2023 and generated $2.1 million in revenue in 2024, following substantial development and preparation over the prior year.

	●	Total revenue grew by 9.9% to $8.3 million in Q4 2024 compared to Q3 2024, driven by higher hash price and change in customers with higher profitability.

	●	Capital raised at Soluna Holdings and at the Data Center Projects exceeded $31.5 million - $2.3 million in warrant exercises and $29.2 million between Soluna AL CloudCo, LLC (“CloudCo” or “Project Ada”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Soluna Cloud, Inc. (“Cloud”), and Project Dorothy 2 in the form of debt and equity, respectively.

	●	Soluna Digital achieved a quarterly gross profit of $2.6 million, or 31.0%, in Q4 2024 compared to $1.5 million, or 19.9%, in Q3 2024.

	●	Current & Restricted Cash maintained at $10.5 million at the end of 2024, while unrestricted cash grew by 23.2% to $7.8 million from the end of 2023.

	●	We simplified our capital structure by fully converting Convertible Loan Notes and significantly restructuring the Preferred B equity.

	●	Construction of Project Dorothy 2 started in the third quarter of 2024, and the initial phase of powering up is underway, which aims to increase our Bitcoin hosting capacity by 64.0%, reaching a total of 123 MW, which is expected to be fully completed by Q4 2025.

	●	Project Kati successfully exited the ERCOT planning phase, which is expected to unlock up to 166 MW of new Bitcoin hosting and AI joint venture opportunities for the Company.

	●	Term Sheets for Power for Project Rosa in 2024 and a land agreement were subsequently secured in early 2025, which is expected to unlock up to 187 MW of new Bitcoin hosting and AI joint venture opportunities for Soluna Holdings.

“I am honored to lead this team,” John Belizaire continued. “Their dedication and grit have been the driving force behind our continued momentum and success.”

	●	Growth Capital Secured by entering into the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (SEPA) - In Q4 2024, the Company filed a registration statement for the resale of the shares of common stock in connection with the $25 million SEPA entered into with Yorkville Advisors Global L.P. in August 2024. In early 2025, the registration statement was declared effective by the SEC, enabling us to raise capital to pay debt, invest in data center projects, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

	●	CloudCo completed a strategic termination of the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (“HPE”) contract - Recognizing the 2024 downtrend in market pricing and softening demand for GPU-as-a-Service in small clusters, in March 2025, the Company’s indirect subsidiary, CloudCo terminated the HPE contract to access Nvidia GPUs and recorded a loss on contract of $28.6 million which is the sum of future payments due under the contract and the full write down of the prepaid asset. The strategic termination of the contract enables us to refocus on Bitcoin and the future development of AI data centers at our Projects. Following CloudCo’s termination, HPE terminated the contract for cause, effective immediately.

Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results :

	●	Steady Revenue Growth – Revenue grew to $8.3 million compared to Q3 2024 revenue of $7.5 million, a 9.9% increase due to higher hash price and change of customers with higher profitability.

	●	Strong Cash Balance Continues – Current Cash & Restricted Cash as of December 31, 2024, was $10.5 million, while unrestricted cash grew by 23.2% to $7.8 million from the end of 2023.

	●	Continuous Growth of Gross Profit – excluding Project Ada / Cloud, gross profit improved over Q3 2024 by $1.1 million, driven by higher hash price and lower electricity costs.

	●	Selling, General & Administrative Expenses – was relatively flat quarter over quarter in 2024 and fourth quarter year over year, excluding a quarterly bonus true up.

Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results:

	●	Strong Revenue Increase – Driven by the first full year with Project Dorothy 1A/1B online, FY 2024 revenue reached $38.0 million, compared to $21.1 million FY 2023, a $16.9 million or 80.5% increase. Additionally, in 2024, DRS delivered $2.1 million of revenue.

	●	Gross Profit Resilience in Core Business – Excluding the loss of $5.7 million related to the costs of the Project Ada / Cloud business, annual gross profit grew by $9.9 million from $5.2 million in FY 2023 to $15.1 million in FY 2024, driven by the full year with Project Dorothy 1A/1B online and DRS.

	●	Consistent Gross Margin – For 2024, the business demonstrated its core strength as gross margin growth from Bitcoin Mining and Hosting, and Demand Response Services essentially offset losses related to Project Ada / Cloud, resulting in a flat year-over-year consolidated gross margin of 25.0%.

	●	Resilient Adjusted EBITDA – 2024 Adjusted EBITDA is $0.9 million, compared to the 2023 loss of $3.5 million; an increase of $4.4 million driven by continued revenue growth despite downward market pressure on price and volume from the scheduled Bitcoin halving and early phase, pre-revenue, Project Ada / Cloud losses.

	●	Unrestricted Cash Growth – Unrestricted cash increased 23.2% from the end of FY 2023, reaching $7.8 million.

FY 2024 Revenue & Cost of Revenue by Project Site

FY 2023 Revenue & Cost of Revenue by Project Site

	●	Selling, General & administrative expenses grew by $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, as expected, through expanded hiring of key talent, consulting, and compliance costs - driven by company growth and progressing the company’s strategy.

	●	Salary and wages increased by approximately $0.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 due to an increase in resources and salaries.

	●	Stock Compensation Expense increased by $1.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. We issued grants in April, June, September, and December of 2024, in which some of the grants provided for immediate vesting, therefore further increasing the expense compared to prior comparable periods. In addition, some of the expenses were due to the cancellation and replacement of certain options.

	●	Credit provisioning of bad debt expenses increased by $0.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, which was attributable to the termination of a customer hosting contract, which included the settlement expense and a reserve for a note receivable following the sale of Soluna Computing, Inc was recorded.

For more detail on the HPE contract termination, see 8-K filing dated March 28, 2025. The audited financial statements and 10K are available online.
