Depreciation is recognized in General and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
• Mining equipment 3 – 5 years
• Data center infrastructure 15 – 25 years
• Corporate assets other than leasehold improvements 3 – 10 years
• Leasehold improvements The shorter of the lease term or useful life of the assets
The following table represents property and equipment balances and accumulated depreciation as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:

About PP&E Disclosures

The PP&E disclosure details a company's physical asset base — land, buildings, machinery, and equipment — along with the depreciation methods and useful life assumptions that determine how these costs flow through the income statement. Capitalization policy thresholds reveal management's judgment on the boundary between expense and asset, directly affecting both reported earnings and asset values.

Key signals: changes in estimated useful lives or depreciation methods can materially shift reported earnings without any operational change. Compare capital expenditures against depreciation expense — when capex consistently trails depreciation, the asset base may be aging and underinvested. Watch for large asset impairments or write-downs that signal overvalued carrying amounts. Asset retirement obligations reveal future environmental or decommissioning costs that are often underappreciated. Compare PP&E intensity (PP&E-to-revenue) against industry peers to assess capital efficiency and competitive positioning.
