The company blamed its $405.9 million net loss and a $387.8 million Adjusted EBITDA loss for “non-cash losses including unrealized losses on digital assets, digital assets pledged, and equity securities, accreted interest, and stock-based compensation.” Despite the red ink, the company claims “a strong balance sheet” and that it will be “...
