The Riot Platforms Thesis: The company not only has more cash and equivalents than other miners but is also completely debt-free, Todaro said in the initiation note.

Riot Platforms is among the largest “vertically integrated miners in terms of MW capacity, hash rate, and BTC production,” the analyst wrote. “We expect industry leaders like RIOT to gain share as miners experience an inflection at the Halving in '24."

Riot Platforms is a lower-cost bitcoin miner, and its balance sheet offers the company operational flexibility and lowers its risk profile, Todaro further mentioned.

RIOT Price Action: Shares of Riot Platforms had lost 0.76% to reach $6.59 in the premarket session on Tuesday.
