Sphere 3D (NASDAQ:ANY) has secured the release of an additional 2,946 S19j Pros of its 4,026-unit batch from U.S. Customs.

"Now that we have successfully secured release of our 4,026-unit batch of miners, we are focused on their efficient installation and activation, which is expected to increase our production capacity over 400% compared to our August production levels announced on September 8, 2022. The miners are enroute to Compute North's Granbury, Texas facility and, upon delivery, will join the queue for installation in October. We are looking forward to reporting our results once the machines are operational. I am proud of our team and all those who provided support and worked tirelessly to secure their release."  said Patricia Trompeter, CEO of Sphere 3D.  Earlier in the month, the company announced August production numbers.

Sphere 3D Seeks Bitcoin Miner Ramp As Gryphon Merger Deal Ends

Sphere 3D recently mutually terminated its proposed merger with Gryphon Digital Mining. Despite this, the company intends to work with Gryphon to ramp up its Bitcoin mining capacity. Sphere expects to receive delivery of at least 60,000 miners by the end of 2022. The stock will largely follow the ups and downs of Bitcoin's price; I'm on Hold for ANY until we see miner installation progress. A Quick Take On Sphere 3D Sphere 3D (ANY) recently reported its Q1 2022 financial results on May 16, 2022 after mutually agreeing to terminate its proposed merger with Gryphon Digital Mining. The company is seeking to grow its Bitcoin (BTC-USD) mining operations and will continue to work with Gryphon as it builds out its mining capabilities. Until we see more data on the firm’s installation of additional miners and on the outlook for a rally in the price of Bitcoin, I’m on Hold for Sphere in the near term. Sphere 3D Overview Toronto, Canada based Sphere 3D was founded to provide a range of data center products and services. It has since changed its focus to become a net carbon neutral Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency mining company with operations in North America. The firm is headed by Chief Executive Officer Patricia Trompeter, who was previously co-founder and Managing Partner of Ceres Capital Ventures. The global market for Bitcoin mining is currently in significant flux, with the recent bans on mining in China having caused a large amount of that country's hashpower to exit the network while those operators look for more suitable locations. Many mining concerns have relocated to the United States, due to its largely predictable regulatory and legal environment and pro-business approaches in a number of states. The market value for mining depends on the price of Bitcoin, since the majority of value going to the miner is a function of the current Bitcoin reward rate of 6.25 Bitcoin per successfully mined block. At a price of $25,000 per Bitcoin, the annual mining rewards for the entire industry would be approximately $8.21 billion. Major industry participants include: Bitfarms (BITF) Argo Blockchain (ARBKF) DMG Blockchain (DMGGF) Hive Blockchain (HIVE) Hut 8 Mining (HUT) HashChain Technology DPW Holdings Layer1 Technologies Riot Blockchain (RIOT) Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA) Others Sphere 3D’s Recent Financial Performance Total revenue by quarter has been uneven as the firm has operated a relatively small number of mining computers: 5 Quarter Total Revenue (Seeking Alpha) Gross profit by quarter has followed approximately the same trajectory as that of total revenue: 5 Quarter Gross Profit (Seeking Alpha) Selling, G&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue by quarter have remained quite high: 5 Quarter Selling, G&A % Of Revenue (Seeking Alpha) Operating losses have worsened as the firm has pursued capital and expense intensive cryptocurrency mining operations: 5 Quarter Operating Income (Seeking Alpha) Earnings per share (Diluted) have remained negative as the chart shows below: 5 Quarter Earnings Per Share (Seeking Alpha) (All data in above charts is GAAP) In the past 12 months, ANY’s stock price has fallen 80.7% vs. the U.S. S&P 500 index’s drop of around 5.9%, as the chart below indicates: 52-Week Stock Price (TradingView) Valuation And Other Metrics For Sphere 3D Below is a table of relevant capitalization and valuation figures for the company: Measure Amount Enterprise Value $56,690,000 Market Capitalization $40,000,000 Enterprise Value / Sales [TTM] 13.65 Revenue Growth Rate [TTM] -13.10% Operating Cash Flow [TTM] -$43,500,000 Earnings Per Share (Fully Diluted) -$0.64 (Source - Seeking Alpha) Commentary On Sphere 3D In its last earnings announcement (Source - Seeking Alpha), covering Q1 2022’s results, management highlighted its expansion plans for receiving contracted delivery of 60,000 Antminer S19j Pro mining computers by the end of 2022. It’s likely the company will receive these miners on time as the overall supply of miners has increased in recent months due to a downturn in Bitcoin price reducing demand in some respects. At the earnings announcement date (May 16, 2022), the firm had not received its initial test shipment of 12 NM440 Bitcoin miners as part of its 60,000 NM440 order. The company has contract termination rights.

Based on a bitcoin price of $19,889 on June 30, 2022, the equivalent approximate valuation of Sphere 3D's production totaled $242,500 for the month.

Sphere 3D operated at 128 BTC/EH efficiency in the month, with an average 97.0% uptime.

"August 2022 production should increase significantly due to the addition of approximately 400 PH/s of production to our mining operation between now and the end of August, 2022,", the company stated. Shares are up 9.5% after-hours.

Sphere 3D: Pivoting To Crypto Mining With Leadership Ambitions And Key Differentiators

Sphere 3D, an IT play with experience in GPU-based solutions is merging with Gryphon Digital Mining to create one of the leaders in Bitcoin production. In addition, utilization of green energy as part of the ESG rationale makes a lot of sense with mining activities widely viewed as being power-hungry. Sphere will also use its proprietary business solutions to optimize Gryphon's processes to provide more vertical integration synergies to the merger. On a cautionary tone, the crypto market remains volatile stemming from regulatory threats. Currently, at the $3.88 price level, Sphere is a buy because the way it is proceeding looks like it is setting the bar for the mining companies of the future.

If Sphere 3D Gets Into Cryptomining, The Upside Potential Is More Than 25%

ANY offers information technology solutions and the ability to connect to cloud services, like Microsoft Azure, among other hybrid cloud capabilities. In 2021, everybody seems to be buying shares of ANY because of the announcement of a merger with Gryphon Digital Mining, Inc. In order to follow the steps of the cloud service industry, I expect that the management will be able to design new products and services. ANY may not only grow because of its cloud services, the management may also grow because of the global cryptocurrency market growth. I believe that ANY could deliver 18.5% sales growth, and FCF/Sales would grow from 25% to 45%. My assumptions are very optimistic. Notice that I am using a WACC of only 5%, a terminal FCF of $15 million, and an exit multiple of 57.5x, which imply a target price of $10.

Is Sphere 3D A Buy Ahead Of Merger With Gryphon Digital Mining?

Sphere 3D is merging with Gryphon Digital Mining to focus on bitcoin mining operations. The deal is expected to close in Q4 with current Sphere 3D shareholders retaining a 23% ownership of the combined company now valued at over $1 billion. While we believe Gryphon Digital Mining benefits from a positive long-term outlook, shares of ANY appear expensive following the recent rally.
