Sphere 3D (NASDAQ: ANY) Q1 loss, liquidity strain and Cathedra deal
Filing Impact
Filing Sentiment
Form Type
10-Q
Sphere 3D Corp. reported another quarterly loss and raised going concern doubts. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Bitcoin mining revenue was $1.9 million, down from $2.8 million a year earlier, as older miners were removed and replaced and Bitcoin prices weakened.
The company recorded a net loss of $4.1 million versus $8.8 million in the prior-year quarter, helped by lower hosting costs, reduced legal expenses, and no repeat of a prior $3.7 million investment loss. Cash and cash equivalents were $3.1 million and working capital was $5.0 million as of March 31, 2026.
Management states there is “substantial doubt” about the ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months without additional funding. Sphere 3D is mining with 0.84 EH/s and held 26.2 Bitcoin valued at about $1.8 million. The company executed a 1‑for‑10 reverse stock split in February 2026 and continues to raise equity through an $8.0 million at‑the‑market program, issuing 256,142 shares for $0.4 million in Q1 and another 389,865 shares for $0.6 million after quarter‑end. It also agreed to acquire Cathedra Bitcoin Inc. in an all‑stock deal expected to close in the second quarter of 2026.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Going concern risk: Management states there is substantial doubt about Sphere 3D’s ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months without additional funding, reflecting recurring losses, negative operating cash flow and limited cash resources.
- Revenue decline: Bitcoin mining revenue fell to $1.9 million from $2.8 million year over year as fewer machines mined and Bitcoin fair values decreased, highlighting sensitivity to both operational capacity and crypto pricing.
- Thin liquidity and dilution: Cash of $3.1 million and $5.0 million of working capital are being supplemented by small but ongoing share issuances under an $8.0 million at-the-market program, increasing reliance on equity markets.
Insights
Recurring losses, tight liquidity and going concern language heighten financial risk.
Sphere 3D generated Q1 2026 revenue of $1.9 million from Bitcoin mining but still posted a net loss of $4.1 million. Cash was $3.1 million and working capital $5.0 million, limiting flexibility while the business remains unprofitable.
Management explicitly notes “substantial doubt” about the ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months absent new capital. Operations are exposed to Bitcoin price volatility, hosting and power costs, and the need to keep hashpower competitive through new equipment.
The company is addressing funding needs via an at-the-market equity program, raising $0.4 million in Q1 and $0.6 million after March 31, 2026, and by refreshing its mining fleet. The all‑stock acquisition of Cathedra Bitcoin Inc., expected to close in Q2 2026, may alter the combined entity’s scale and cost structure once completed.

6 terms
going concern financial
"there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months"
A going concern is a business that is expected to continue its operations and meet its obligations for the foreseeable future, rather than shutting down or selling off assets. This assumption matters to investors because it indicates stability and ongoing profitability, making the business a more reliable investment. Think of it as believing a restaurant will stay open and serve customers, rather than closing down suddenly.
at the market offering financial
"an aggregate offering price of up to $8.0 million (the “Placement Shares”). The ATM Agreement"
An at-the-market offering is a way a company raises cash by selling newly issued shares directly into the open market at prevailing prices, rather than all at once in a single deal. Think of it like turning a faucet on to drip shares into trading at current prices when needed; it gives the company flexibility to raise funds over time but can dilute existing shareholders and potentially affect the stock price, which investors should monitor.
reverse stock split financial
"to effect a share consolidation (also known as a reverse stock split) of our issued"
A reverse stock split is when a company reduces the number of its shares outstanding, making each share more valuable. For example, if you own 100 shares worth $1 each, a 1-for-10 reverse split would turn your 100 shares into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to boost their stock price and appear more stable to investors.
hashrate technical
"we have a total hashrate capacity of 0.84 exahash per second"
Hashrate is a measure of how quickly a computer network can process and verify transactions, often expressed as the number of calculations it can perform in a second. Think of it like the engine power of a car; the higher the hashrate, the more work the network can do in a given time. For investors, a higher hashrate generally indicates a more secure and robust network, which can influence confidence and the value of related digital assets.
Full Pay Per Share financial
"entitled to Full Pay Per Share (“FPPS”), which is a fractional share of the fixed Bitcoin award"
temporary equity financial
"the Series H Preferred Shares are presented as temporary equity"

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1.Organization and Business
Sphere 3D Corp. was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on May 2, 2007 as T.B. Mining Ventures Inc. On March 24, 2015, the Company completed a short-form amalgamation with a wholly-owned subsidiary. In connection with the short-form amalgamation, the Company changed its name to “Sphere 3D Corp.” Any reference to the “Company”, “Sphere 3D”, “we”, “our”, “us”, or similar terms refers to Sphere 3D Corp. and its subsidiaries. In January 2022, the Company commenced operations of its Bitcoin mining business and is dedicated to becoming a leader in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry. The Company has established and plans to continue to grow an enterprise-scale mining operation through the procurement of mining equipment and infrastructure, and partnering with experienced service providers.
Business Combination
Share Consolidation
On February 9, 2026, the Company filed an Articles of Amendment to effect a share consolidation (also known as a reverse stock split) of its issued and outstanding common shares in the ratio of 1-for-10. The share consolidation was effective on February 9, 2026. The Company’s common shares began trading on an adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) at the opening of trading on February 10, 2026. All share and per share amounts have been restated for all periods presented to reflect the share consolidation.
Going Concern
6
Significant changes from our current forecasts, including but not limited to: (i) shortfalls from projected mining earning levels; (ii) increases in operating costs; (iii) decreases in the value of cryptocurrency; and (iv) if we do not maintain compliance with the requirements of Nasdaq and/or we do not maintain our listing with Nasdaq it could have a material adverse impact on our ability to access the level of funding necessary to continue operations at current levels. These factors, among others, should they occur may result in our inability to continue as a going concern within 12 months from the date of issuance of our financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), applied on a basis consistent for all periods. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for a complete set of financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2026. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year. These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been appropriately eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
Foreign Currency Translation
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Highly liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk and original maturities of three months or less, when purchased, are classified as cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are composed of money market funds. Cash and cash equivalents that exceed federally insured limits are maintained with financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses related to these balances and believes credit risk to be minimal.
7
Bitcoin
Bitcoin is included in current assets in the consolidated balance sheets as the Company has the ability to sell it in a highly liquid marketplace, and the sale of Bitcoin is used to fund operating expenses to support operations. Bitcoin is expected to be realized in cash or sold during the Company’s normal operating cycle. Bitcoin held are accounted for as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Bitcoin awarded to the Company through its mining activities was included within operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The proceeds from the sale of Bitcoin are included within operating or investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows depending on the length of time the Bitcoin is held. Bitcoin is valued at fair value at the end of each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of Bitcoin is measured using the period-end closing price from the Company’s principal market. When Bitcoin is sold, the gains and losses from such transactions are measured as the difference between the cash proceeds and the carrying basis of the Bitcoin as determined on a first in-first out (“FIFO”) basis and are recorded within the same line item, Change in Fair Value of Bitcoin, in the consolidated statements of operations.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment primarily consists of mining equipment and infrastructure and is stated at cost, including purchase price, shipping and custom fees, and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three years to ten years .
The carrying amounts of property and equipment are reviewed when events or changes in circumstances indicate the assets may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the fair value of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any.
Intangible Assets
For intangible assets purchased in a business combination, the estimated fair values of the assets received are used to establish their recorded values. For intangible assets acquired in a non-monetary exchange, the estimated fair values of the assets transferred (or the estimated fair values of the assets received, if more clearly evident) are used to establish their recorded values. Valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and/or cost approach are used to measure fair value.
Impairment of Intangible Assets
Regular reviews of intangible assets are performed to determine if any event has occurred that may indicate that intangible assets with finite useful lives and other long-lived assets are potentially impaired. Triggering events for impairment reviews may be indicators such as adverse industry or economic trends, restructuring actions, lower projections of profitability, or a sustained decline in the Company's market capitalization. Intangible assets are quantitatively assessed for impairment, if necessary, by comparing their estimated fair values to their carrying values. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the difference is recorded as an impairment.
Warrants
Warrants are accounted for as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance. Warrants that meet the definition of a derivative financial instrument, and that also meet the equity scope exception criteria, are classified as equity. Equity classified warrants are recorded at their initial fair value and are not subject to fair value remeasurement provided that the criteria for equity classification continues to be met. Warrants that are classified as liabilities are accounted for at fair value, subject to fair value remeasurement at each balance sheet date with changes in fair value recognized in other income, net. The classification of warrants is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of both equity-classified and liability-classified warrants are determined using the Black-Scholes options pricing model (“Black-Scholes model”) which includes Level 3 inputs.
8
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is accounted for pursuant to ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments (“Topic 606”). Under Topic 606, an entity is required to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, and contract consideration will be recognized on a “sell-in basis” or when control of the purchased goods or services transfer to the distributor.
The Company is engaged with Bitcoin mining pool operators, its customers, to provide a service to perform hash calculations for the mining pool operator, which is the Company’s only performance obligation. Providing hash calculation services is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The Company has a service agreement with Foundry Digital LLC, a cryptocurrency mining pool operator, to provide a service to perform hash calculations. In exchange for providing the service, the Company is entitled to Full Pay Per Share (“FPPS”), which is a fractional share of the fixed Bitcoin award the mining pool operator receives, plus a fractional share of the transaction fees attached to that blockchain less net Bitcoin fees due to the mining pool operator over the measurement period, as applicable. The pay-outs received are based on the expected value from the block reward plus the transaction fee reward, regardless of whether the mining pool operator successfully records a block to the blockchain.
The Company’s fractional share is based on a contractual formula, which primarily calculates the hashrate provided to the mining pool as a percentage of total network hashrate and other inputs. The contracts, which are less than 24 hours and continuously renew throughout the day, are terminable at any time by either party without compensation and the Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when the Company starts providing the service to the mining pool operator, which begins daily at midnight Universal Time Coordinated (“UTC”). The terms, conditions, and compensation are at the current market rates, and accordingly the renewal option is not a material right. The contract arises at the point that the Company provides hash calculation services to the mining pool operator, which is the beginning of the contract day at midnight UTC time (contract inception), as customer consumption is in tandem with daily earnings of delivery of the service. According to the customer contract, daily earnings are calculated from midnight-to-23:59:59 UTC time, and the payout is made one hour later at 1:00 AM UTC time.
The Company satisfies its performance obligation over time with daily settlement in Bitcoin. The Company’s performance is completed as it transfers the hashrate computations over the continuously renewed contract periods, which are less than 24 hours. The Company has full control of the mining equipment utilized in the mining pool and if the Company determines it will increase or decrease the processing power of its machines and/or fleet (i.e., for repairs or when power costs are excessive) the service provided to the customer will be adjusted.
The transaction consideration the Company receives is noncash consideration in the form of Bitcoin, which the Company measures at fair value at contract inception, midnight UTC time. The noncash consideration is variable, since the amount of block reward earned depends on the amount of hash calculation services, the amount of transaction fees awarded, and operator fees over the same period. The Company does not constrain this variable consideration because it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of revenue recognized from the contract will not occur when the uncertainty is subsequently resolved and recognizes the noncash consideration on the same day that control is transferred, which is the same day as contract inception. The fair value used to calculate the noncash consideration is based on the Bitcoin spot price in the Company’s principal market at the beginning of the day (midnight UTC time) at contract inception. Expenses associated with running the Bitcoin mining operations, such as hosting, operating supplies, utilities, and monitoring services are recorded as cost of revenues.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) and its components encompass all changes in equity other than those arising from transactions with shareholders, including net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments, and is disclosed in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
9
Concentration Risk
The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalent balances with three major commercial banks. Deposits held with the financial institutions exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of a default by the financial institutions holding the cash and cash equivalents to the extent recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. The accounts offered by the custodian of the Company’s Bitcoin are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). There have not been any losses in such accounts.
Revenue is concentrated with one mining pool operator, Foundry Digital LLC, and all Bitcoin resided with one custodian.
The Company is dependent on a small number of Bitcoin mining equipment suppliers to provide a supply of new generation Bitcoin mining machines. The growth in the Company’s business is directly related to increased demand for hosting services and Bitcoin which is dependent in large part on the availability of new generation mining machines offered for sale at a price conducive to profitable Bitcoin mining. As more companies seek to enter the mining industry, the demand for machines may outpace supply and create mining machine equipment shortages. Currently there is not an agreement with suppliers to purchase additional machines, and therefore there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to purchase machines on terms acceptable to it.
Share-based Compensation
Share-based awards, and similar equity instruments, granted to employees, non-employee directors, and consultants are accounted for in accordance with the authoritative guidance for share-based compensation. Share-based compensation award types may include stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”), restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), and performance stock units (“PSUs”). Share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-lined basis over the requisite service period (usually the vesting period) except for options with graded vesting which is recognized pursuant to an accelerated method. Share-based compensation expense for an award with a performance condition is recognized when the achievement of such performance condition is determined to be probable. If the outcome of such performance condition is not determined to be probable or is not met, no compensation expense is recognized and any previously recognized compensation expense is reversed. Forfeitures are recognized as a reduction of share-based compensation expense as they occur.
Operating Segment
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In September 2025, the FASB issued accounting standards update (“ASU”) No. 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Scope Clarification and Accounting for Certain Contracts and Customer Share-Based Consideration (“ASU 2025-07”), which narrows the types of contracts subject to derivative accounting by excluding those whose payouts depend solely on an entity’s own operational metrics, rather than market-based variables, and clarifies that share-based or warrant consideration received from a customer is accounted for under Topic 606 until the right to retain the instrument is unconditional, after which the guidance in Topic 815 and 321 applies. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, which early adoption permitted, and may be applied prospectively or on a modified retrospective basis with an option to elect or revoke the fair value option for certain instruments upon transition. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-07 but does not expect it to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity, which amends existing guidance to allow entities to apply the same principles used in other business combinations when determining the accounting acquirer in a transaction involving a variable interest entity (VIE) that is a business and where consideration is primarily in the form of equity interests. This update addresses comparability concerns and provides for more consistent application of acquisition accounting principles. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the standard but does not anticipate that it will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2025, the FASB also issued ASU 2025-04, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Clarifications to Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer, to address diversity in practice and improve the operability of accounting for share-based consideration granted to customers. The amendments clarify how to distinguish between service and performance conditions for vesting, require entities to estimate forfeitures for all share-based consideration payable to customers, and specify that variable consideration guidance in ASC 606 does not apply when measuring such awards. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The guidance is to improve the disclosure of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The new guidance requires a public entity to provide tabular disclosure, on an annual and interim basis, of amounts for the following expense categories: (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation and (4) intangible asset amortization, as included in each relevant expense caption. A relevant expense caption is an expense caption presented on the face of the income statement that contains any of the expense categories noted. The guidance is effective for 2027 annual reporting, and in the first quarter of 2028 for interim reporting, with early adoption permitted, to be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. The Company will adopt the guidance when it becomes effective, in its 2027 annual reporting and each quarter thereafter, on a prospective basis. The Company is evaluating the impact the updated guidance will have on its disclosures.
3.Fair Value Measurements
The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
11
Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Financial instruments include cash equivalents, Bitcoin, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. Fair value estimates of these instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information. These estimates may be subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amount of cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are generally considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments.
The following tables provide a summary of the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Non-financial assets such as property and equipment and intangible assets are recorded at fair value when an impairment is recognized or at the time acquired in an asset acquisition or business combination measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, there were no

5. Note Receivable
Rainmaker Promissory Note
In September 2020, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note with Rainmaker Worldwide Inc. (the “Rainmaker Note”). The Rainmaker Note is secured as a registered lien under the Uniform Commercial Code and the Personal Property Security Act (Ontario) against the assets of Rainmaker. In January 2025, the Company and Rainmaker entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Rainmaker Note and the principal amount was revised to $4.6 million and the due date was extended to January 14, 2026 .
In January 2026, the Company and Rainmaker entered into a settlement agreement to the Rainmaker Note and both parties agreed the outstanding amount would be settled by a one-time payment of $0.5 million by February 27, 2026 (the “Settlement Date”). Such payment was not received by the Settlement Date, and based on the settlement agreement, the amount increases by $50,000 the first business day of each month following the Settlement Date.

8.Preferred Shares
Series H Preferred Shares
On October 1, 2021, the Company filed articles of amendment to create a series of preferred shares, being, an unlimited number of Series H Preferred Shares and to provide for the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching thereto. The Series H Preferred Shares are convertible provided (and only if and to the extent) that prior shareholder approval of the issuance of all Sphere 3D common shares issuable upon conversion of the Series H Preferred Shares has been obtained in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq, at any time from time to time, at the option of the holder thereof, into 14.286 Sphere 3D common shares for every Series H Preferred Share. Each holder of the Series H Preferred Shares, may, subject to prior shareholder approval, convert all or any part of the Series H Preferred Shares provided that after such conversion the common shares issuable, together with all the common shares held by the shareholder in the aggregate would not exceed 9.99 % of the total number of outstanding common shares of the Company. Each Series H Preferred Share has a stated value of $1,000 . The Series H Preferred Shares are non-voting and do not accrue dividends. These features include, in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, deemed liquidation or any other distribution of the assets of the Company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs, the Series H Preferred Shares shall entitle each of the holders thereof to receive an amount equal to the Series H subscription price per Series H Preferred Share, as defined in the agreement, to be paid before any amount is paid or any assets of the Company are distributed to the holders of its common shares.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance for distinguishing liabilities from equity, the Company has determined that its Series H preferred shares carry certain redemption features beyond the control of the Company. Accordingly, the Series H Preferred Shares are presented as temporary equity.
9.Share Capital
At-the-Market Offering Program
On January 3, 2025, the Company entered into a sales agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Sales Agent”). In accordance with the terms of the ATM Agreement, the Company may offer and sell from time to time through or to the Sales Agent, as agent or principal, the Company's common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $8.0 million (the “Placement Shares”). The ATM Agreement can be terminated by either party by giving two days written notice.
Neither the Company nor the Sales Agent are obligated to sell any Placement Shares pursuant to the ATM Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the ATM Agreement, the Sales Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal law, rules and regulations and the rules of Nasdaq, to sell the Placement Shares from time to time based upon the Company’s instructions, including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions the Company may
14
impose. Sales of the Placement Shares, if any, will be made on Nasdaq at market prices by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, under the ATM Agreement the Company issued 256,142 and 21,045 common shares, respectively, for $0.4 million and $0.1 million of net proceeds, respectively.

10.Equity Incentive Plan
Stock Options
The fair value of option awards are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. Expected volatility was based on historical volatility of the Company’s common shares. The expected term of options granted was based on the simplified method. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant. The dividend yield assumption was based on the expectation of no future dividend payments. Option awards can be granted for a maximum term of up to 10 years. There were no options granted for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

The estimated fair value of RSUs was based on the closing market value of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant. RSUs typically vest over a period of 12 months to three years from the original date of grant. The total grant date fair value of RSUs vested during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was approximately $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The fair value of RSUs vested during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was approximately $51,000 and $0.2 million, respectively.
Restricted Stock Units with a Performance Condition
In July 2025, the Company entered into a financial advisory agreement and issued to non-employees RSU grants with a performance condition, of which 50% of the RSUs were vested on the date of grant and the common shares issued. The remaining outstanding will vest upon achievement of a specific performance condition and expire 12 months from the date of grant. See Note 12 Commitments and Contingencies for more information on the related financial advisory agreement.

11.Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common share purchase warrants, options and RSUs outstanding, and preferred shares are considered common stock equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share when net income is reported and their effect is dilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.
Anti-dilutive common share equivalents excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share were as follows:

20
Share Consolidation
On February 9, 2026, we filed an Articles of Amendment to effect a share consolidation (also known as a reverse stock split) of our issued and outstanding common shares in the ratio of 1-for-10. The share consolidation was effective on February 9, 2026. Our common shares began trading on an adjusted basis on Nasdaq at the opening of trading on February 10, 2026. All share and per share amounts have been restated for all periods presented to reflect the share consolidation.
Overview
In January 2022, we commenced operations of our Bitcoin mining business and are dedicated to becoming a leader in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry. We have established and continue to grow an enterprise-scale mining operation through the procurement of mining equipment and infrastructure, and partnering with experienced service providers.
We obtain Bitcoin as a result of our mining operations, and when necessary, we sell Bitcoin to support our operations and strategic growth. We mine Bitcoin in states that do not have any material state-specific regulatory restrictions on the mining of Bitcoin. However, it is possible that these states or other states in which we may seek to operate may create laws that would impede Bitcoin mining. We do not currently plan to engage in regular trading of Bitcoin other than sales to convert our Bitcoin into U.S. dollars. Decisions to hold or sell our Bitcoin is currently determined by management by analyzing forecasts and monitoring the market in real time. We have a hybrid treasury strategy to hold Bitcoin when possible and sell to fund working capital requirements.
As of March 31, 2026, we have a total hashrate capacity of 0.84 exahash per second (“EH/s”). We are strategizing for our future growth and have refreshed a significant portion of our fleet with newer-generation machines to bolster efficiency. In February 2026, we completed the sale of older generation mining equipment not in service for proceeds of $1.2 million, which was applied to the purchase of new mining equipment. As of March 2025, we have a self-owned 8 megawatt facility in Iowa (“Iowa Site”). Vertically integrating with self-owned facilities, such as our Iowa Site, allows us to reduce our reliance on third-parties and decrease our overall cost to mine a Bitcoin. As a result of our recent strategic changes, mining production has decreased as we focused on our long-term goals of (i) transitioning to lower-cost hosting sites, (ii) vertically integrating to own our own sites, and (iii) refreshing our fleet with newer-generation machines.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we mined 25.3 Bitcoin, which represented a decrease of 17.0% over the 30.5 Bitcoin we mined during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to our transition to lower-cost hosting sites and refreshing our fleet with newer-generation machines. Based on our existing operations and expected deployment of miners we have purchased, we anticipate continuing to increase exahash throughout 2026. We do not have scheduled downtime for our miners. We periodically perform both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance on our miners. Depending on the type of repair, the miner may run at a reduced speed or be taken offline. We use software programs to monitor the performance of our machines. The miners operating as of March 31, 2026 have an average efficiency (joules per terahash – “J/th”) of 17.1 J/th. The miner efficiency is an indication of how efficiently we can earn Bitcoin and minimize cost to run the miner. Currently, we intend only to mine Bitcoin and we hold no other cryptocurrency other than Bitcoin. We do not have any power purchase agreements for the supply of power.
As of March 31, 2026, we held approximately 26.2 Bitcoin. The fair value of our Bitcoin as of March 31, 2026 was approximately $1.8 million on our consolidated balance sheet.

Results of Operations
The First Quarter of 2026 Compared with the First Quarter of 2025
Revenue
During the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, we had revenues of $1.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively. The $0.9 million decrease in revenue is primarily due to the process of removing older mining equipment and replacing it with newer generation machines resulting in fewer machines mining and less Bitcoin mined, and a decrease in the fair value of Bitcoin. The refreshing of our mining equipment is substantially complete as of the end of the first quarter of 2026. During the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, all of our revenue was derived from Bitcoin mining.
Operating Expenses
Cost of Revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense)
During the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, direct cost of revenues were $1.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The $0.6 million decrease in cost of revenue was primarily due to lower hosting fees related to older machines taken offline, sold, and replaced with newer generation machines, as well as lower cost of revenue at our Iowa Site.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expenses were $2.5 million and $3.2 million for the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The $0.7 million decrease was primarily due to a $1.1 million decrease in legal fees related to a resolved litigation, and a $0.1 million decrease in insurance expense. These decreases were offset by a $0.3 million increase in costs related to strategic business growth efforts, and a $0.2 million increase in share-based compensation.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense was $1.1 million and $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Loss on Disposal of Property and Equipment
Loss on disposal of property and equipment was $0.2 million and $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively, and related to the sale of mining equipment.
Change in Fair Value of Bitcoin
Change in fair value of Bitcoin was a loss of $0.6 million and $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The loss was the change in fair value of Bitcoin held, as well as the loss from when Bitcoin was sold.
Non-Operating Income and Expenses
Investment Loss
Investment loss was nil and loss of $3.7 million for the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively, and related to unrealized losses on our equity investment in Core Scientific Inc.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are our existing cash and cash equivalents. We expect to fund our operations going forward with existing cash resources, revenue from our Bitcoin mining operation, and cash that we may raise through future financing transactions. At March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3.1 million compared to cash and cash equivalents of $3.7 million at December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, we had working capital of $5.0 million, reflecting a decrease of $1.9 million since December 31, 2025.

At-the-Market Offering Program. On January 3, 2025, we entered into a sales agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Sales Agent”). In accordance with the terms of the ATM Agreement, we may offer and sell from time to time through or to the Sales Agent, as agent or principal, the Company's common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $8.0 million (the “Placement Shares”). The ATM Agreement can be terminated by either party by giving two days written notice. We expect that any proceeds received from the facility will be used primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes and in furtherance of our corporate strategy which may include to accelerate efficiency, for the purchase/upgrade of the Company’s mining fleet, and vertical integration of infrastructure.
Neither us nor the Sales Agent are obligated to sell any Placement Shares pursuant to the ATM Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the ATM Agreement, the Sales Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal law, rules and regulations and the rules of Nasdaq, to sell the Placement Shares from time to time based upon our instructions, including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions we may impose. Sales of the Placement Shares, if any, will be made on Nasdaq at market prices by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, under the ATM Agreement the Company issued 256,142 and 21,045 common shares, respectively, for $0.4 million and $0.1 million of net proceeds, respectively. Subsequent to March 31, 2026, under the ATM Agreement we issued 389,865 common shares for $0.6 million of net proceeds.
Management has projected that based on our recurring losses, negative cash flows from operating activities, and our hashing rate at March 31, 2026, cash on hand may not be sufficient to allow us to continue operations and there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months from the date of issuance of our financial statements if we are unable to raise additional funding for operations. We expect our working capital needs to increase in the future as we continue to expand and enhance our operations. Our ability to raise additional funds for working capital through equity or debt financings or other sources may depend on the financial success of our business and successful implementation of our key strategic initiatives, financial, economic and market conditions and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. We require additional capital and if we are unsuccessful in raising that capital at a reasonable cost and at the required times, or at all, we may not be able to continue our business operations in the cryptocurrency mining industry or we may be unable to advance our growth initiatives, either of which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. In an effort to mitigate these risks we are taking steps to lower our cost of mining and have refreshed our mining fleet to increase our mining efficiency.
Significant changes from our current forecasts, including but not limited to: (i) shortfalls from projected mining earning levels; (ii) increases in operating costs; (iii) decreases in the value of cryptocurrency; and (iv) if we do not maintain compliance with the requirements of Nasdaq and/or we do not maintain our listing with Nasdaq it could have a material adverse impact on our ability to access the level of funding necessary to continue operations at current levels. These factors, among others, should they occur may result in our inability to continue as a going concern within 12 months from the date of issuance of our financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The following table shows a summary of our cash flows (used in) provided by operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities (in thousands):

Net cash used in operating activities. The use of cash during the first three months of 2026 was primarily a result of our net loss of $4.1 million, offset by $2.3 million in noncash items, which primarily included depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, loss on disposal of property and equipment, and change in fair value of Bitcoin.
Net cash provided by investing activities. During the first three months of 2026, we received $2.8 million from proceeds from the sale of Bitcoin. During the first three months of 2025, we received $2.1 million of proceeds from the sale of Bitcoin, and $0.2 million of proceeds from the sale of older mining machines, offset by $1.0 million of payments for the purchase of property and equipment consisting of newer generation mining machines.
Net cash provided by financing activities. For the first three months of 2026 and 2025, we received $0.4 million and $0.1 million of net proceeds from the issuance of common shares through our ATM Agreement.
Off-Balance Sheet Information
During the ordinary course of business, we may provide standby letters of credit to third parties as required for certain transactions initiated by us. As of March 31, 2026, we have no standby letters of credit outstanding.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We review our estimates on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management has determined that there are no critical accounting estimates that require disclosure. Our significant accounting policies are outlined in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Sphere 3D reported Bitcoin mining revenue of $1.9 million and a net loss of $4.1 million for Q1 2026. This compares with $2.8 million of revenue and an $8.8 million net loss in Q1 2025, reflecting lower revenue but a narrower loss.
What going concern risks does Sphere 3D (ANY) highlight?
Management states there is substantial doubt about Sphere 3D’s ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months. This is based on recurring losses, negative operating cash flows, current hashing rate, and the need to raise additional capital to fund operations.
What is Sphere 3D’s Bitcoin mining scale and holdings as of March 31, 2026?
Sphere 3D reports total hashrate capacity of 0.84 exahash per second and held approximately 26.2 Bitcoin as of March 31, 2026. The fair value of these Bitcoin holdings was about $1.8 million on the consolidated balance sheet at quarter end.
How is Sphere 3D (ANY) funding its operations and growth plans?
Sphere 3D is using existing cash, Bitcoin sales and an $8.0 million at-the-market equity program. In Q1 2026 it issued 256,142 common shares for $0.4 million of net proceeds, and after March 31, 2026 issued another 389,865 shares for $0.6 million.
What major corporate actions did Sphere 3D undertake in early 2026?
Sphere 3D executed a 1-for-10 reverse stock split effective February 9, 2026 and agreed to acquire Cathedra Bitcoin Inc. in an all-stock transaction. The Cathedra deal, subject to customary approvals, is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026.
How are Sphere 3D’s costs and operating cash flows trending?
Cost of revenue fell to $1.6 million from $2.2 million year over year, mainly from lower hosting costs. Net cash used in operating activities improved slightly to $3.7 million from $4.1 million, but operations still consumed cash during the quarter.
