"Starboard urges Riot Platforms to accelerate its transformation into an AI/HPC data center operator, outlining a path to $23-$53 per share by monetizing its 1.7GW power footprint."
Executive Summary
Starboard Value's letter to Riot Platforms highlights the immense, unrealized value in Riot's power capacity assets. While acknowledging Riot's recent 25 MW deal with AMD as a positive proof of concept, Starboard argues that Riot must act with far greater urgency to monetize its remaining 1.4GW of capacity. Given high market demand and severe power constraints, monetizing these assets in-line with peers could translate to a sum-of-the-parts equity value between $9 billion and $21 billion ($23 to $53 per share), far exceeding Riot's current market valuation.
