Riot confirmed that the capital will support expansion efforts and other corporate priorities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"841\" data-end=\"1098\">The loan terms include an annual interest rate based on the higher federal funds rate upper limit or 3.25%, plus an additional 4.5%. The credit line matures in 364 days, but Riot can request an extension for another year, pending Coinbase\u2019s approval.<\/p>\n<p>The facility is unique in its structure because Riot leverages its sizable Bitcoin treasury, currently totaling 19,233 BTC, worth nearly $1.8 billion, as collateral. The holdings make the firm one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holders in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Riot Platforms CEO Jason Les <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riotplatforms.com\/riot-platforms-announces-100-million-credit-facility-with-coinbase\/\">said<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Riot has entered into its first B<span class=\"\" title=\"\">itcoin<\/span>-backed facility, which provides us with non-dilutive funding at an attractive cost of financing. This credit facility is a key part of our efforts to diversify sources of financing to support our operations and strategic growth initiatives, with a view towards long-term stockholder value creation.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Bitcoin miners face headwinds<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1575\" data-end=\"1823\">While Riot explores new funding options, the broader mining industry faces serious challenges. A recent Bitwise <a href=\"https:\/\/etc-group.com\/blog\/regular-updates\/Bitwise_Crypto_Market_Compass_2025_17\/?data=32crypto392news2367\/\">report<\/a> outlines two major issues confronting miners, especially those in the US.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1825\" data-end=\"2009\">According to the report, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/tariffs-trade-tensions-and-the-bitcoin-mining-industry\/\">US tariffs<\/a> on mining equipment imported from Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia have significantly increased hardware costs. These import duties range from 24% to 46%, making upgrades costly and <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/insights\/bitcoin-miners-struggle-seek-derivatives-for-risk-management-amid-bitcoin-revenue-decline\/\">cutting profit margins<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2120\" data-end=\"2432\">At the same time, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/insights\/bitcoin-mining-difficulty-reach-all-time-high-on-us-election-day\/\">mining difficulty<\/a>, a measure of how hard it is to mine a block, has surged to record highs.\u00a0As a result, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/bitcoin-hashprice-stabilizes-after-hitting-quarterly-low-but-miner-risk-remains\/\">hashprice<\/a>, a key indicator of miner earnings, has dropped to around $48, down from over $60 earlier in the year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2011\" data-end=\"2190\">Adding to the challenge, investor focus is gradually moving elsewhere. The rising popularity of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and corporate treasury holdings firms like Strategy and Metaplanet, which offer simpler exposure to the top crypto, has resulted in waning interest in BTC mining stocks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin miner Riot Platforms has entered into a $100 million credit agreement with Coinbase, using its BTC holdings as collateral.
