How we checked this
Checked on September 29, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The 10-K confirms the three power and hosting arrangements. It describes the at-least-five-year access at about 2.7 c/kWh as something Cipher 'expects', not as a guaranteed contract outcome.
Confirmed in the source:
- Cipher entered into separate power and hosting arrangements with Standard Power, WindHQ and Luminant.
- These arrangements are intended to provide Cipher with hosting and power services.
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- The arrangements provide access to electricity for at least five years at an average cost of approximately 2.7 c/kWh. The filing presents this only as an expectation, not as an established term of the agreements.
That does not mean it is false — only that this source does not establish it, as of the date above. If we find a source that settles it, we will re-check and update this page.
What we did: Read our cached copy of SEC EDGAR (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1819989/000095017022002861/cifr-20211231.htm) in full (509,143 characters, retrieved September 27, 2026) and checked each assertion in the claim against it.
