CEO Comments:
"May presented new dynamics for SATO and Bitcoin Miners as we all entered the 5th epoch of the Bitcoin halving," commented Romain Nouzareth, CEO and Chairman of SATO. "As planned, our power cost per Bitcoin nearly doubled, but remains less than current Bitcoin price due to our leading efficiency and low cost of power. Since I co-founded SATO in 2017, we have seen three halvings epochs and we have long anticipated and prepared for this adjustment. Now, we are more excited and prepared than ever to drive continued growth following the footsteps of our peers who were at our size during the last Bitcoin cycle."
On behalf of the board,
Romain Nouzareth,
SATO CEO and Chairman
