New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of American stocks, typically moving 17% a week.

It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$22m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (17% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (45% increase in shares outstanding).

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 44% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$24m free cash flow). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (44% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$10m (US$5.73m market cap).

The Company had a period of180 calendar days, or until January 23, 2023, to regain compliance with the Listing Rule. On January 24, 2023, the Company received notification from Nasdaq indicating that the Company will have an additional 180-day grace period, or until July 24, 2023, to regain compliance with the Listing Rule's $1.00 minimum bid requirement. The notification indicated that the Company did not regain compliance during the initial 180-day grace period provided under the Listing Rule. In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company is eligible for the additional grace period because it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company's written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company does not regain compliance by July 24, 2023, or if the Company fails to satisfy another Nasdaq requirement for continued listing, Nasdaq staff could provide notice that the Company's common shares will become subject to delisting. In such event, Nasdaq rules permit the Company to appeal any delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. Accordingly, there can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to maintain its Nasdaq listing. The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price for its common shares and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Listing Rule.

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.

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. Seeking Alpha • Jul 08
