Riot Blockchain, Inc. Announces Corporate Rebranding to Riot Platforms, Inc.

Castle Rock, CO, Jan. 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIOT) (“Riot,” “Riot Platforms, Inc.” or “the Company”), (formerly Riot Blockchain, Inc.) an industry leader in Bitcoin mining and data center hosting, announces that it has rebranded its corporate name from Riot Blockchain, Inc. to Riot Platforms, Inc. 

Riot’s rebranding underpins the Company’s growth strategy to continue expanding its increasingly diversified business operations and reflects a renewal of its corporate vision to become the world’s leading Bitcoin-driven infrastructure platform.  

"This is a significant milestone for Riot and comes as a result of our unique strategic position in the market,” said Jason Les, CEO of Riot. “Our successful acquisitions of Whinstone U.S., which developed and operates North America’s largest dedicated Bitcoin mining data center facility, and ESS Metron, which enhanced our electrical component engineering and supply chain capabilities, have formed the foundation on which our teams have built, and will continue to develop, business platforms for further growth. The scope and scale of our businesses continues to expand, and this rebranding better reflects our position as strategic allocators of capital to increasingly broaden the scope of our Bitcoin-focused operations.” 

Riot remains focused on securing opportunities to enhance the Company’s expansion projects across its growing, vertically integrated business lines. Riot and Whinstone U.S. will brand together under Riot Platforms, Inc., while Riot’s electrical equipment manufacturing business will continue to operate under the ESS Metron brand in order to support its long-established client base.  

Riot’s common stock continue to be listed for trading on NASDAQ Capital Market under the same ticker symbol ‘RIOT’. The Company’s common stock was not assigned a new CUSIP as a result of the name change and remains 767292105.
