From July 1 to September 30 of this year, Greenidge earned revenue between $33 million and $37 million and reported a net loss between $16 million to $19 million. In addition, the firm had earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) between $18 million and $22 million. 

The company reports that much of its net loss resulted from the merger with NASDAQ-listed technical support company Support.com. The merger was announced in March of 2021 and finalized on September 14

Greenidge had also announced plans to expand its bitcoin mining operations into South Carolina on July 2. However, the firm doesn't expect the Southeastern mining operation to be operational until late 2021 or early 2022.
