The miner's shares rose 6% in Wednesday morning trading on the Nasdaq.

Fourth-quarter revenue of $23.4 million was driven mainly by selling energy to the power grid rather than crypto mining. The miner owns two coal plants in Pennsylvania that use coal refuse, or piles of the fossil fuel left behind from the physical mining process.

Bitcoin mining revenue dropped 35% from the previous quarter as Stronghold returned equipment to lenders to lower debt. It also curtailed operations at times of high energy demand to sell power to the grid.

Speaking on the earnings call, Chief Financial Officer Matthew Smith explained that the boosted use of renewable energy has the effect of increasing electricity pricing during some periods and decreasing it during others, and how Stronghold is attempting to work this to its advantage.
