Shares of bitcoin mining and data center firm Riot Platforms (RIOT.O) jump 5.3% to $15.42 premarket

Activist investor Starboard Value urges RIOT to show a renewed sense of urgency to get more “material” AI deals completed

Starboard says RIOT’s shares have underperformed peers who have signed sizable AI deals

“The recently announced transaction with Advanced Micro Devices is a positive signal and confirms our views regarding the intrinsic value of Riot’s key sites, but it is a small proof of concept deal, and we, like you, expect significantly more,” Starboard says

RIOT did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment
