Cipher Digital Inc. posted its third‑quarter 2026 earnings, recognizing its first high‑performance computing (HPC) lease revenue of about $5.9 million. The company also amended the Barber Lake data‑center lease to a 20‑year term, raising total contracted revenue at the site to roughly $9.1 billion. It completed an $850 million zero‑coupon convertible notes offering and retired $165.9 million of existing convertible debt. Net income turned positive at $31.6 million while adjusted EBITDA remained a loss of about $10 million.
