Company Will Hold Investor Update Call on Thursday May 17, 2018
DURHAM, NC, May 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (OTCQB: MGTI) announced the filing of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2018 with the Securities and Exchange Commission yesterday. The entire document can be viewed at the Company’s website or at www.sec.gov.
MGT reported revenues from bitcoin mining of $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2018 versus $312,000 in the same quarter of 2017 and compared to $1.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2017. As previously disclosed, the Company transitioned the vast majority of its mining operations to Sweden from Washington state beginning in late December 2017 and as a result had lower Bitcoin production. In addition, the sharp decline in the price of Bitcoin compounded the sequential decline in our revenue.
Net loss was $4.5 million for the first quarter of 2018 compared to $5.9 million for the first quarter of 2017. Balance sheet metrics included cash of $461,000 as of March 31, 2018 with zero debt. In this year’s period, the Company invested approximately $8.0 for additional Bitcoin miners and prepayments of electricity and hosting. On March 31, 2018, stockholders’ equity stood at $9.9 million.
Robert Lowrey, Chief Financial Officer of MGT will host an investor update call on Thursday May 17, 2018 at 4:30 pm EDT. Details can be found on MGT’s investor relations page of its corporate website.
