Soluna Holdings' CEO John Belizaire Shares Vision for Scalable Renewable Computing in 2025 Shareholder Letter
A longer version of the letter and updated investor presentation can be found on Soluna's Investor Relations webpage. Additionally, we will release an update to our Earnings Power Presentation in the coming weeks.
Soluna's annual shareholder meeting is scheduled for August 18, 2025 at 10:00am EDT.
Open Letter to Shareholders from John Belizaire, CEO of Soluna Holdings, Inc.
Dear Shareholders,
2024 was a defining year for Soluna. We grew revenue by more than 80%, reached $38 million, and achieved positive cash flow from our Bitcoin Hosting business — proof that our model is working.
We brought Project Dorothy 1A and 1B into full-year operation and launched our Demand Response Services (DRS), generating $2.1 million in new revenue. Project Dorothy 2, a 64% hosting capacity expansion, is now energized and is expected to reach 48 MW by year-end.
We simplified our capital structure, secured flexible funding through a $25 million SEPA facility, and made the strategic decision to exit the HPE contract, redeploying resources toward dedicated AI and HPC infrastructure, which is in high demand and where we have a clear advantage.
With the addition of Project Annie (75 MW), our first solar-powered site, Soluna's development pipeline now exceeds 773 MW across wind, grid, and solar-powered computing projects. Project Kati (166 MW) is shovel-ready, with Project Rosa (187 MW), Project Hedy (120 MW), and Project Ellen (100 MW) in active development. Soluna is no longer just proving its concept — we're scaling it.
Looking Ahead: Building the Future of Renewable Computing
In 2025, we plan to:
Ramp Project Dorothy 2 to full capacity and increase recurring revenue from Bitcoin Hosting.
Break ground on Project Kati, a flagship site for hybrid Bitcoin and AI workloads.
Advance Project Rosa, a 187 MW site designed for large-scale computing.
Expand and de-risk our pipeline, now exceeding 2.8 GW of AI and Bitcoin hosting capacity.
Form new joint ventures to deploy capital efficiently and enter the AI infrastructure market with industry leaders.
Strengthen our balance sheet, reduce debt, and own larger stakes in high-performing projects.
We are building more than data centers. We are laying the foundation for the future of computing. Our ability to turn curtailed renewable energy into reliable, low-cost power for Bitcoin and AI workloads sets us apart.
Soluna is positioned to lead this next era of energy and computing. We look forward to accelerating our growth, deepening our impact, and delivering strong returns for our shareholders.
Thank you for your continued belief in our mission.
Warm regards,
John Belizaire
Chief Executive Officer

Bitcoin Depot Profits Jump 183% as BTC Holdings Rebound
Bitcoin Depot reported a second-quarter profit of $12.3 million on Tuesday, attributing the 183% increase compared to a year ago partly to an increase in the value of its Bitcoin holdings. The Atlanta-based firm, which operates over 8,800 crypto kiosks across North America, said the value of its Bitcoin holdings increased $2.3 million in the second quarter. As of June 30, the company held 100 BTC worth $11.5 million, a 666% increase compared to a year ago. Revenue rose 6% year-over-year to $172 million, as a result of increased kiosk deployment and a higher median transaction size among customers exchanging cash for Bitcoin, the firm said. Bitcoin Depot's stock price fell 14.4% on Tuesday to $4.14, according to Yahoo Finance. The company's shares have still popped 155% year-to-date. 'Rogue' Police Are Destroying Bitcoin ATMs: Bitcoin Depot Legal Chief On an earnings broadcast, Bitcoin Depot CEO Brandon Mintz said that 3,300, or nearly a third of the company's active machines, had been installed for less than a year. He later noted that the company has 1,700 kiosks in inventory that could later be deployed. The company raised $12 million in the second quarter through an at-the-money offering program, selling common shares in a similar way to Bitcoin-buying firm Strategy. CFO David Gray signaled that the Bitcoin ATM operator could use funds raised to accumulate Bitcoin—it bought 6 BTC in Q2—pay down debt, or pursue strategic mergers and acquisitions. With several Bitcoin ATM operators across the U.S., Mintz said that the firm is trying to 'consolidate a fragmented market,' acquiring the assets of Telecoin, a Louisiana-based Bitcoin ATM operator in the second quarter. Solana Meme Coins Slump as Investors Rotate into ETH & 'Quality-Focused' Altcoins The company has relocated the position of its kiosks in light of regulatory shifts, such as a law passed last year in California that imposed limits on daily transactions and the spread that Bitcoin Depot charges. Mintz said the company has around 200 kiosks left in the region. At the same time, the company is also expanding overseas, deploying 200 kiosks in Australia this year, which 'continues to emerge as a global hot spot for Bitcoin adoption, Mintz said. Bitcoin was recently trading at about $119,700, down slightly over the past 24 hours but up 6% during the last week. Sign in to access your portfolio

Anthropic's Claude AI model can now handle longer prompts
Anthropic is increasing the amount of information that enterprise customers can send to Claude in a single prompt, part of an effort to attract more developers to the company's popular AI coding models. For Anthropic's API customers, the company's Claude Sonnet 4 AI model now has a one million token context window — meaning the AI can handle requests as long as 750,000 words, more than the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy, or 75,000 lines of code. That's roughly five times Claude's previous limit (200,000 tokens), and more than double the 400,000 token context window offered by OpenAI's GPT-5. Long context will also be available for Claude Sonnet 4 through Anthropic's cloud partners, including on Amazon Bedrock and Google Cloud's Vertex AI. Anthropic has built one of the largest enterprise businesses among AI model developers, largely by selling Claude to AI coding platforms such as Microsoft's GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, and Anysphere's Cursor. While Claude has become the model of choice among developers, GPT-5 may threaten Anthropic's dominance with its competitive pricing and strong coding performance. Anysphere CEO Michael Truell even helped OpenAI announce the launch of GPT-5, which is now the default AI model for new users in Cursor. Anthropic's product lead for the Claude platform, Brad Abrams, told TechCrunch in an interview that he expects AI coding platforms to get a 'lot of benefit' from this update. When asked if GPT-5 put a dent in Claude's API usage, Abrams downplayed the concern, saying he's 'really happy with the API business and the way it's been growing.' Whereas OpenAI generates most of its revenue from consumer subscriptions to ChatGPT, Anthropic's business centers around selling AI models to enterprises through an API. That's made AI coding platforms a key customer for Anthropic, and could be why the company is throwing in some new perks to attract users in the face of GPT-5. Last week, Anthropic unveiled an updated version of its largest AI model, Claude Opus 4.1, which pushed the company's AI coding capabilities a bit further. Generally speaking, AI models tend to perform better on all tasks when they have more context, but especially for software engineering problems. For example, if you ask an AI model to spin up a new feature for your app, it's likely to do a better job if it can see the entire project, rather than just a small section. Abrams also told TechCrunch that Claude's large context window also helps it perform better at long agentic coding tasks, in which the AI model is autonomously working on a problem for minutes or hours. With a large context window, Claude can remember all its previous steps in long-horizon tasks. But some companies have taken large context windows to an extreme, claiming their AI models can process massive prompts. Google offers a 2 million token context window for Gemini 2.5 Pro, and Meta offers a 10 million token context window for Llama 4 Scout. Some studies suggest there's a limit to how large context windows can be, and AI models are not great at processing massive prompts. Abrams said that Anthropic's research team focused on increasing not just the context window for Claude, but the 'effective context window,' suggesting that its AI can understand most of the information it's given. However, he declined to reveal Anthropic's exact techniques. When prompts to Claude Sonnet 4 are over 200,000 tokens, Anthropic will charge more to API users, at $6 per million input tokens and $22.50 per million output tokens (up from $3 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens).

AAON (AAON) Tumbles 10.49% as Earnings Disappoint
We recently published . AAON, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAON) is one of the best-performing stocks on Monday. AAON tumbled by 10.49 percent on Monday to close at $72.07 apiece following a disappointing earnings performance in the second quarter of the year. In its updated report, AAON, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAON) said net income declined by 70 percent to $15.5 million from $52 million in the same period last year. Net sales slightly dipped to $311 million from $313 million year-on-year, dragged down by an 18-percent decrease in net sales from its Oklahoma segment. In the first half of the year, net income decreased by 50.9 percent to 44.78 million from $91.2 million in the same comparable period, while net sales increased by 10 percent to $633.6 million from $575.7 million year-on-year. 'Our second quarter results fell short of our expectations and do not reflect the high standards we set for ourselves as an organization,' said AAON, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAON) CEO Matt Tobolski. Pixabay/Public Domain 'The underperformance was primarily driven by poor operational execution, mainly associated with the implementation of our new ERP system at our Longview, [Texas] facility. The April go-live of the new system directly impacted production of both finished products and coils at Longview. Since Longview supplies coils to our Tulsa, [Oklahoma] facility, this also limited Tulsa's expected production ramp. We are taking immediate and targeted actions to address these issues, strengthen execution, and ensure we are better positioned to deliver consistent results in the future,' he added. While we acknowledge the potential of AAON as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
