Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this Report, including those made
in the Investor Presentation attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report, that are not statements of historical fact may be
forward-looking statements that reflect management’s current expectations, assumptions and estimates of future performance and
economic conditions. Such statements are made in reliance on the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act and
Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,”
“expects,” “intends,” “will,” “potential,” “hope” and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The assumptions and expectations expressed in these forward-looking
statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties and, therefore, may never materialize or may prove to be incorrect. Actual
results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of
various risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements about the benefits
of our acquisitions, including our financial and operating results following these acquisitions, and Riot’s plans, objectives,
expectations and intentions for the future. Among the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those
expressed in forward-looking statements, include, without limitation, risks related to: our estimates of bitcoin mining production
are not audited; our future hash rate growth (expressed in terms of exahashes per second (“EH/s”)); our anticipated
benefits of immersion-cooling; our expected schedule of new miner deliveries; our ability to successfully deploy the new bitcoin
mining computers we acquire; the timely completion of our expanded megawatt capacity in the City of Rockdale, Milam County, Texas;
the development of our one (1) gigawatt (“GW”) expansion in the City of Corsicana, Navarro County, Texas; the
integration of acquired businesses may not be successful, or such integration may take longer or be more difficult, time-consuming
or costly to accomplish than anticipated; failure to otherwise realize anticipated efficiencies and strategic and financial benefits
from our acquisitions; future economic conditions, performance or outlook; future political conditions; the outcome of
contingencies; the impact of COVID-19 and the ongoing global supply chain crisis that has resulted, the ongoing war in Ukraine, the
growing public awareness of Climate Change and the negative media attention given to the energy consumption of cryptocurrency
mining, regardless of our efforts to control the climate impact of our operations, and the consequences of future geo-political
events on us, our customers, or on our suppliers in connection with our estimated timelines. Detailed information regarding other
factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by statements in this Report, including
the documents incorporated by reference herein, may be found in Riot’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”), including under sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” of Riot’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021,
as filed with the SEC on March 16, 2022, as amended, including, but not limited to the
additional risk factors set forth in Riot’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2022, as filed with
the SEC on May 10, 2022, as well as the our other filings with the SEC, copies of which may be obtained from the SEC’s

and, as applicable, the date of the other documents we file with the SEC. Riot disclaims any intention or obligation to update or
revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that subsequently occur, or of which Riot hereafter becomes
aware, except as required by law. Persons reading this Report, the Investor Presentation, and the other documents we file with the
SEC are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
