Cipher Mining Inc. (Nasdaq: CIFR) has received a $50 million private placement from SoftBank Group Corp. to further bolster its position in the bitcoin mining and high-performance computing (HPC) markets.

As part of the deal, SoftBank will buy 10.4 million shares of Cipher’s common stock. The proceeds will be used to scale Cipher’s industrial scale data centers to support the growing pipeline of mining and computing projects.

Cipher CEO Tyler said “This is a huge milestone”

“This is a big moment in Cipher’s growth story as we are adding more sites and solutions for industrial scale data centers.”

The deal further cements Cipher’s position in the market as it scales to meet the growing demand in bitcoin mining and digital infrastructure

Strategic Expansion of Cipher’s Operations

Cipher Mining has been building out its infrastructure to increase its bitcoin mining capacity. In Nov 2024 it announced the Stingray site, a 100MW facility which will have front of the meter capacity.

Key elements of Cipher’s growth strategy:

  • More efficient mining through industrial scale computing.

  • Renewable powered data centers for sustainable BTC mining.

  • Operational resilience to market volatility.

With SoftBank’s support Cipher can accelerate these initiatives and further solidify its position in the HPC and blockchain space.

Financial and Legal Advisors in the Deal

The deal was a PIPE. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods Inc. was Cipher’s financial advisor and Latham & Watkins LLP was legal counsel.

SoftBank is increasing its focus on digital infrastructure and new tech which is tied to AI, blockchain and cloud.

As bitcoin mining companies face higher energy costs and changing regulations this type of investment will be key to who comes out on top.
