Cipher Mining Inc. (CIFR) saw its stock surge 6.55% in the pre-market trading session on Tuesday, February 25, 2025, following the company's impressive fourth quarter and full-year 2024 financial results and expansion plans.
The bitcoin mining and data center operator reported Q4 2024 net earnings of $18 million and adjusted earnings of $51 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, beating analyst estimates. The strong financial performance was driven by the company's continued execution of growth and expansion plans.
