 “Our team continues to showcase unrelenting commitment to maximizing uptime for our total fleet of more than 206,000 miners,” said Adam Sullivan, Core Scientific’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are proud to deepen our strategic relationship with Bitmain, securing 27,000 new, more efficient miners to fuel our near-term hash rate growth plans.”
 Month over month bitcoin production remained level while average daily bitcoin production increased, despite a significant increase in network difficulty and unplanned downtime associated with maintenance at Core Scientific’s Grand Forks data center.
 The Company continues to work through the Chapter 11 reorganization process and aims to emerge in the fourth quarter.

 Data Centers
 As of month-end, the Company operated approximately 206,000 bitcoin miners for both self-mining and colocation, representing a total energized hash rate of 22.3 EH/s at its data centers in Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, North Dakota and Texas.
 Self-Mining
 Core Scientific produced 965 bitcoin in September from its owned fleet of miners. As of month end, the Company operated approximately 145,000 owned bitcoin miners, accounting for approximately 70% of its total number of miners and representing a total energized hash rate of 15.0 EH/s.
 Colocation Services
 In addition to its self-mining fleet, Core Scientific provided data center colocation services, technology and operating support for approximately 62,000 colocated, customer-owned bitcoin miners, representing approximately 30% of the bitcoin miners operating in the Company’s data centers as of September 30. Customer-owned bitcoin miners produced approximately 461 bitcoin in September, including bitcoin rewards paid to the Company pursuant to proceeds sharing agreements.
 Grid Support
 The Company reduced the consumption of power at its data centers in response to extreme temperatures in September, delivering 11,294 megawatt hours to local grid partners. By supporting the grid in such a fashion, Core Scientific helps grid operators keep power flowing to their customers when temperatures rise and air conditioning use increases, and when temperatures drop and heating use increases. Core Scientific works with utility companies and the communities in which it operates to enhance electrical grid stability.
