Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
NATURE OF OPERATIONS	NATURE OF OPERATIONS Stronghold Digital Mining, Inc. ("Stronghold Inc." or the "Company") is a low-cost, environmentally beneficial, vertically integrated crypto asset mining company focused on mining Bitcoin and environmental remediation and reclamation services. The Company wholly owns and operates two coal refuse power generation facilities that it has upgraded: (i) the Company's first reclamation facility located on a 650-acre site in Scrubgrass Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania, which the Company acquired the remaining interest of in April 2021, and has the capacity to generate approximately 83.5 megawatts (“MW”) of electricity (the "Scrubgrass Plant"); and (ii) a facility located near Nesquehoning, Pennsylvania, which the Company acquired in November 2021, and has the capacity to generate approximately 80 MW of electricity (the "Panther Creek Plant," and collectively with the Scrubgrass Plant, the "Plants"). Both facilities qualify as an Alternative Energy System because coal refuse is classified under Pennsylvania law as a Tier II Alternative Energy Source (large-scale hydropower is also classified in this tier). The Company is committed to generating energy and managing its assets sustainably, and the Company believes that it is one of the first vertically integrated crypto asset mining companies with a focus on environmentally beneficial operations. Stronghold Inc. operates in two business segments – the Energy Operations segment and the Cryptocurrency Operations segment. This segment presentation is consistent with how the Company's chief operating decision maker evaluates financial performance and makes resource allocation and strategic decisions about the business. Energy Operations The Company operates two qualifying small power production facilities under the provisions of the Public Utilities Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 and sells its electricity into the PJM Interconnection Merchant Market ("PJM") under a Professional Services Agreement (“PSA”) with Customized Energy Solutions (“CES”), effective July 27, 2022. Under the PSA, CES agreed to act as the exclusive provider of services for the benefit of the Company related to interfacing with PJM, including handling daily marketing, energy scheduling, telemetry, capacity management, reporting, and other related services for the Plants. The initial term of the agreement is two years, and then will extend automatically on an annual basis unless terminated by either party with 60 days written (or electronic) notice prior to the current term end. The Company’s primary fuel source is waste coal which is provided by various third parties. Waste coal tax credits are earned by the Company by generating electricity utilizing coal refuse. Cryptocurrency Operations The Company is also a vertically integrated Bitcoin mining business. The Company buys and maintains a fleet of Bitcoin miners, as well as the required infrastructure, and provides power to third-party Bitcoin miners under hosting agreements. The Bitcoin mining operations are in their early stages, and Bitcoin and energy pricing mining economics are volatile and subject to uncertainty. The Company’s current strategy will continue to expose it to the numerous risks and volatility associated with the Bitcoin mining and power generation sectors, including fluctuating Bitcoin-to-U.S.-Dollar prices, the costs and availability of Bitcoin miners, the number of market participants mining Bitcoin, the availability of other power generation facilities to expand operations, and regulatory changes.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024, the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and stockholders' equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, have been prepared by the Company. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented, have been made. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), have been condensed or omitted. Certain reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in order to conform to current presentation. Additionally, since there are no differences between net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), all references to comprehensive income (loss) have been excluded from the condensed consolidated financial statements. On May 15, 2023, following approval by the Board of Directors and stockholders of the Company, the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split ("Reverse Stock Split") of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and Class V common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The par values of the Company's Class A and Class V common stock were not adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. All share and per share amounts and related stockholders' equity balances presented herein have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. Bitfarms Merger Agreement On August 21, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Bitfarms Ltd., a corporation incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act and continued under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “OBCA”) (“Bitfarms” or “Parent”), Backbone Mining Solutions LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of Parent (“BMS”), and HPC & AI Megacorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned, direct subsidiary of BMS (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “merger”), with the Company surviving the merger as an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Bitfarms. The Merger Agreement has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of the Company and Bitfarms and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025, subject to the receipt of Stronghold stockholder approval, applicable regulatory approvals, certain third-party consents and other customary closing conditions. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon the closing of the merger, holders of Class A common stock (including holders of Series C Preferred Stock and holders of Class V common stock whose shares will convert into or be exchanged for shares of Class A common stock immediately prior to the closing of the merger) will receive 2.52 Bitfarms common shares for each share of Class A common stock they own. Refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for risks associated with the Company's proposed merger with Bitfarms. Correction of Immaterial Error During the third quarter of 2024, the Company corrected an error in its revenue recognition policy to be consistent with GAAP, which requires an entity to measure noncash consideration using the estimated fair value of the consideration at contract inception. Instead of measuring the noncash (Bitcoin) consideration at the time of each hosting contract’s inception, the Company has measured the noncash (Bitcoin) consideration in prior periods on a daily basis, as each Bitcoin was awarded. The Company has two hosting contracts with customers that are currently in operation, for which the quoted price of Bitcoin in the Company’s principal market at the time of each contract’s inception was approximately $23,000 and $30,000. The resulting impact of correcting the error in the Company’s revenue recognition policy to be consistent with GAAP is reflected in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the third quarter of 2024. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections , the Company evaluated the materiality of this error on the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarters and year-to-date periods ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, September 30, 2023, March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2024. The Company determined that this error did not result in a material misstatement (quantitatively or qualitatively) to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity for any of the current year or prior year periods. The cumulative impact of correcting this error in the current year for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, using the approaches described in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, results in a $0 adjustment to net loss for those periods. There is also no impact to the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024, and no change to net cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company notes that, had it corrected this error in the prior year as of December 31, 2023, its adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASU 2023-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60) , which requires crypto assets to be recorded at fair value, would have been different. The Company adopted ASU 2023-08 in the current year as of January 1, 2024, and recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to increase the opening balance of retained earnings by $99,292; but including the impact of correcting this error, the cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings would have increased by $192,237. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2023-08 in the current year, however, corrected the cumulative balance sheet impact of this error. For this reason, there is no adjustment to correct the prior periods during the third quarter of 2024. Additionally, given the immaterial nature of this error (quantitatively and qualitatively) for all current year and prior year periods, the Company has not corrected this immaterial prior-period error in the current year presentation of comparative financial statements. Further information regarding the Company’s corrected revenue recognition policy is described below. Revenue Recognition Accounting Policy The following disclosure represents the Company’s corrected revenue recognition policy specific to its cryptocurrency hosting revenues. Except for the updates noted below, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, for a detailed discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies. Cryptocurrency Hosting Revenue The Company has entered into customer hosting contracts whereby the Company promises to unload, install, provision, maintain, and operate the hosted Bitcoin mining machines located at the Company’s premises, which includes hosting services comprised of electrical power, internet access, racking infrastructure, general maintenance and operations as instructed in writing by the customer, ambient cooling, and miner reboots. Each of these promises is not separately identifiable from the other promises in the Company’s hosting contracts and, therefore, represents a single performance obligation to provide an integrated hosting service. The Company has two customer hosting contracts that are currently in operation for initial terms of 24 months ending December 31, 2024, and April 30, 2025, that automatically renew for additional one-year periods unless one party notifies the other in writing at least 60 days prior to the conclusion of the then-current term. Neither the Company nor the customers can cancel or terminate the hosting agreements without penalty before the initial terms of 24 months elapse. Therefore, the accounting duration of the hosting contracts is two years. The Company has determined the renewal options do not provide a material right to the hosting customers because the price charged for the Company’s integrated hosting service approximates the standalone selling price in total. Because each contract’s renewal option does not provide a material right to the hosting customers, the Company has concluded that the renewal option is not a performance obligation that requires an allocation of the transaction price. Therefore, the Company will recognize revenue for the integrated hosting service to be provided during the additional one-year renewal periods only if and when the Company provides those services. The consideration of the Company’s hosting contracts is comprised of (i) the variable cost-of-power fee, denominated in cash, and (ii) a portion of the Bitcoin mined by the customers’ Bitcoin mining machines that the Company hosts, denominated in Bitcoin. The promised amount of consideration does not include a significant financing component and, therefore, is not adjusted for the effects of the time value of money in determining the transaction price. i. The variable cost-of-power fee is directly tied to the energy used by the hosted Bitcoin mining machines and calculated as 50% of the energy used by the Bitcoin mining machines multiplied by a formulaically derived rate. This rate is calculated by dividing (1) all fuel costs, operations and maintenance expenses, general and administrative expenses, and financing charges incurred (subject to certain adjustments), multiplied by 110%, by (2) the total number of megawatt hours generated and purchased from the grid to supply the data center. All estimates associated with the variable cost-of-power consideration are fully constrained. The Company only includes the variable cost-of-power consideration in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Therefore, each quarterly reporting period when the uncertainty is resolved, the Company includes in the transaction price the actual amount of the variable cost-of-power-fee and, at that point, reassesses the estimated transaction price to determine whether an estimate of the variable consideration over the remaining two-year contract term is fully constrained. ii. The Company’s portion of the Bitcoin mined by the customers’ Bitcoin mining machines that the Company hosts, or 50%, is also variable but in the form of noncash (Bitcoin) consideration. All estimates associated with the Company’s portion of the variable Bitcoin mined by the customers’ hosted Bitcoin mining machines are fully constrained. ASC 606 requires an entity to measure noncash consideration using the estimated fair value of the consideration at contract inception. The Company has two hosting contracts with customers that are currently in operation, for which the quoted price of Bitcoin in the Company’s principal market at the time of each contract’s inception was approximately $23,000 and $30,000. The Company only includes the variable noncash (Bitcoin) consideration in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Therefore, each quarterly reporting period when the uncertainty is resolved, the Company includes in the transaction price the noncash (Bitcoin) consideration equal to the product of (1) the Company’s portion of the Bitcoin mined by the customers’ hosted Bitcoin mining machines during the reporting period, and (2) the quoted price of Bitcoin in the Company’s principal market at the time of each contract’s inception. At the end of each quarterly reporting period, the Company also reassesses the estimated transaction price to determine whether an estimate of the variable consideration over the remaining two-year contract term is fully constrained. Subsequent changes in the fair value of such noncash consideration that are due to the form of the consideration (i.e., fluctuations in the value of Bitcoin) are excluded from the transaction price. Because there is only one performance obligation – to provide an integrated hosting service to the Company’s hosting customers – all of the transaction price described above is allocated to the single performance obligation for revenue recognition purposes. The Company recognizes revenue for the transaction price over time as the Company satisfies its performance obligation to provide an integrated hosting service. Throughout the two-year term of the hosting contracts, the hosting customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Company’s performance of its integrated hosting service. The Company has a right to consideration from its hosting customers in amounts that correspond directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date. Therefore, the Company has adopted the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-55-18, which permits an entity to recognize revenue in the amount to which the entity has a right to invoice. The amount to which the Company has a right to invoice, and therefore recognize revenue, includes the actual cost-of-power and Bitcoin mining components of the transaction price that are updated each quarterly reporting period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized cryptocurrency hosting revenues of $1,266,097 and $4,399,662, respectively, for the cost-of-power component of the transaction price, and $645,513 and $6,793,776, respectively, for the Company’s portion of Bitcoin mined by the customer’s hosted Bitcoin mining machines. Advance payments and customer deposits are recorded as contract liabilities, within other noncurrent liabilities or accrued liabilities as applicable, in the consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had contract liability balances of approximately $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively, associated with its two customer hosting contracts that are currently in operation. In September 2024, the Company entered into a third hosting contract that resulted in an additional contract liability balance of approximately $8.0 million as of September 30, 2024, comprised of a customer deposit of $7.8 million and an advance payment of approximately $0.2 million. This third hosting contract is not currently in operation but will become operational during the fourth quarter of 2024. Additionally, refer to Note 21 – Subsequent Events for information about a fourth hosting contract the Company entered into after quarter end on October 29, 2024. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized cryptocurrency hosting revenues of approximately $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, that were included in contract liabilities at the beginning of each respective period. The Company had no accounts receivable balances as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, associated with its two customer hosting contracts that are currently in operation. Recently Implemented Accounting Pronouncements In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses , which adds a new impairment model, known as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model, that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes an allowance for its estimate of expected credit losses at the initial recognition of an in-scope financial instrument and applies it to most debt instruments, trade receivables, lease receivables, financial guarantee contracts, and other loan commitments. The CECL model does not have a minimum threshold for recognition of impairment losses, and entities will need to measure expected credit losses on assets that have a low risk of loss. Since the Company is a smaller reporting company, as defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), the new guidance became effective on January 1, 2023. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2023, but the adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other - Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60) , which requires all entities holding crypto assets that meet certain requirements to subsequently measure those in-scope crypto assets at fair value, with the remeasurement recorded in net income. Among other things, the new guidance also requires separate presentation of (i) the gain or loss associated with remeasurement of crypto assets on the income statement and (ii) crypto assets from other intangible assets on the balance sheet. Before this new guidance, crypto assets were generally accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets, which follow a cost-less-impairment accounting model that only reflects decreases, but not increases, in the fair value of crypto assets holdings until sold. Although early adoption is permitted, the new guidance becomes effective on January 1, 2025, and should be applied using a modified retrospective transition method with a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2023-08 as of January 1, 2024, and the cumulative adjustment increased the opening balance of retained earnings by $99,292. See Note 2 – Digital Currencies for more information. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements During the first nine months of 2024, there have been no recently issued accounting pronouncements applicable to the Company. However, the Company continues to evaluate the impact of the following accounting pronouncements issued during the prior year. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure , which requires public entities to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Additionally, public entities with a single reportable segment will be required to provide the new disclosures and all the disclosures required under ASC 280, Segment Reporting . Although early adoption is permitted, this new guidance becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its interim and annual consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures, particularly in the rate reconciliation table and disclosures about income taxes paid. Although early adoption is permitted, this new guidance becomes effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its interim and annual consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

DIGITAL CURRENCIES	NOTE 2 – DIGITAL CURRENCIES As of September 30, 2024, the Company held an aggregate amount of $613,949 in digital currencies comprised of unrestricted Bitcoin. Changes in digital currencies consisted of the following for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 Digital currencies at beginning of period $ 253,710 $ 1,429,653 $ 3,175,595 $ 109,827 Additions of digital currencies (1) 9,535,291 15,069,008 51,963,137 43,778,958 Realized gain on sale of digital currencies 719,795 131,706 1,100,214 725,139 Unrealized (loss) gain on digital currencies (33,783) — 113,438 — Impairment losses — (357,411) — (683,241) Proceeds from sale of digital currencies (9,861,064) (15,630,957) (55,837,727) (43,288,684) Impact of ASU 2023-08 as of January 1, 2024 (2) — — 99,292 — Digital currencies at end of period $ 613,949 $ 641,999 $ 613,949 $ 641,999 (1) Additions of digital currencies were related to mining activities. (2) See Note 1 – Basis of Presentation for more details regarding the Company's adoption of ASU 2023-08 as of January 1, 2024. As previously disclosed, the Company adopted ASU 2023-08 effective January 1, 2024, using a modified retrospective transition method, with a cumulative-effect adjustment of $99,292 recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. Following the adoption of ASU 2023-08, realized gains (net of realized losses) on the sale of digital currencies were $719,795 and $1,100,214 and unrealized (losses)/gains (net of unrealized gains/losses) on digital currencies were $(33,783) and $113,438 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Furthermore, with the adoption of ASU 2023-08, the Company no longer accounts for digital currencies as indefinite-live intangible assets, and therefore, no impairment losses have been recognized in the current year period. The Company used a first-in, first-out methodology to determine its cost basis for computing realized gains and losses on the sale of digital currencies. The Company’s Bitcoin mining activities are conducted in the ordinary course of business, and the digital currency assets awarded to the Company by mining pool operators are converted nearly immediately into cash. As such, the Company has classified such cash flows derived from its Bitcoin mining within operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. As of September 30, 2024, the Company's crypto asset holdings consisted of approximately 9.7 Bitcoin with a fair value and carrying value of $613,949. None of these digital currency assets are subject to contractual sale restrictions as of September 30, 2024. The cumulative realized gains and losses from dispositions that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, totaled $1,637,590 and $537,376, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the Company's crypto asset holdings consisted of approximately 76.7 Bitcoin with a carrying value was $3,175,595 and fair value of $3,274,887.

Upon closing, the Credit Agreement consisted of $35.1 million in term loans and $23.0 million in additional commitments. The financing pursuant to the Credit Agreement (such financing, the “WhiteHawk Refinancing Agreement”) was entered into by Stronghold Digital Mining Holdings, LLC ("Stronghold LLC"), as Borrower (in such capacity, the “Borrower”), and is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and is guaranteed by the Company and each of its material subsidiaries. The WhiteHawk Refinancing Agreement requires equal monthly amortization payments resulting in full amortization at maturity. The WhiteHawk Refinancing Agreement has customary representations, warranties and covenants including restrictions on indebtedness, liens, restricted payments and dividends, investments, asset sales and similar covenants and contains customary events of default. On February 6, 2023, the Company, Stronghold LLC, as borrower, their subsidiaries and WhiteHawk Capital Partners LP ("WhiteHawk Capital"), as collateral agent and administrative agent, and the other lenders thereto, entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) in order to modify certain covenants and remove certain prepayment requirements contained therein. As a result of the First Amendment, amortization payments for the period from February 2023 through July 2024 were not required, with monthly amortization resuming July 31, 2024. However, in December 2023, the Company made two amortization payments of the WhiteHawk Refinancing Agreement that were otherwise due on July 31, 2024, and August 31, 2024. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company resumed the required monthly amortization payments of the WhiteHawk Refinancing Agreement with its payment of the September 2024 amortization payment. Beginning June 30, 2023, following a five-month holiday, Stronghold LLC began to make monthly prepayments of the loan in an amount equal to 50% of its average daily cash balance (including cryptocurrencies) in excess of $7,500,000 for such month. Consistent with the First Amendment, the Company made loan prepayments of $0 and $217,800 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The First Amendment also modified the financial covenants to (i) in the case of the requirement of the Company to maintain a leverage ratio no greater than 4.00:1.00, such covenant will not be tested until the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2024, and (ii) in the case of the minimum liquidity covenant, modified to require minimum liquidity at any time to be not less than: (A) until March 31, 2024, $2,500,000; (B) during the period beginning April 1, 2024, through and including December 31, 2024, $5,000,000; and (C) from and after January 1, 2025, $7,500,000. On February 15, 2024, the Company and WhiteHawk Capital, as collateral agent and administrative agent, and the other lenders thereto, entered into a Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Third Amendment") which, among other items, amended the Company’s minimum liquidity requirement to not be less than: (A) until June 30, 2025, $2,500,000 and (B) from and after July 1, 2025, $5,000,000. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the WhiteHawk Refinancing Agreement as of September 30, 2024. The borrowings under the WhiteHawk Refinancing Agreement mature on October 26, 2025, and bear interest at a rate of either (i) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 10% or (ii) a reference rate equal to the greater of (x) 3%, (y) the federal funds rate plus 0.5% and (z) the term SOFR rate plus 1%, plus 9%. Borrowings under the WhiteHawk Refinancing Agreement may also be accelerated in certain circumstances. The average interest rate for borrowings under the WhiteHawk Refinancing Agreement approximated 15.54% and 15.10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. As noted above, the Company's Credit Agreement with its primary lender matures on October 26, 2025. The Company has entered into a merger agreement that is subject to final closing conditions. The merger is considered probable as both the Company's Board of Directors and the acquiring company’s Board of Directors have approved the merger. The plan of merger will pay off the Company's current outstanding borrowings, thereby reducing liquidity needs to enable continuation of operations, as a wholly owned subsidiary of the acquiring company, for the foreseeable future. Convertible Note Exchange On December 30, 2022, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with the holders (the “Purchasers”) of the Company’s Amended and Restated 10% Notes (the “Amended May 2022 Notes”), providing for the exchange of the Amended May 2022 Notes (the “Exchange Agreement”) for shares of the Company’s newly-created Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”). On February 20, 2023, the transactions contemplated under the Exchange Agreement were consummated, and the Amended May 2022 Notes were deemed paid in full. Approximately $16.9 million of principal amount of debt was extinguished in exchange for the issuance of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock. As a result of this transaction, the Company incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $28,960,947 during the first quarter of 2023. Bruce & Merrilees Promissory Note On March 28, 2023, the Company and Stronghold LLC entered into a settlement agreement (the “B&M Settlement”) with its electrical contractor, Bruce & Merrilees Electric Co. (“B&M”). Pursuant to the B&M Settlement, B&M agreed to eliminate an approximately $11.4 million outstanding payable in exchange for a promissory note in the amount of $3,500,000 (the "B&M Note") and a stock purchase warrant for the right to purchase from the Company 300,000 shares of Class A common stock (the "B&M Warrant"). The B&M Note has no definitive payment schedule or term. Pursuant to the B&M Settlement, B&M released ten (10) 3000kva transformers to the Company and fully cancelled ninety (90) transformers remaining under a pre-existing order with a third-party supplier. The terms of the B&M Settlement included a mutual release of all claims. Simultaneous with the B&M Settlement, the Company and each of its subsidiaries entered into a subordination agreement with B&M and WhiteHawk Capital pursuant to which all obligations, liabilities and indebtedness of every nature of the Company and each of its subsidiaries owed to B&M shall be subordinate and subject in right and time of payment, to the prior payment of full of the Company's obligation to WhiteHawk Capital pursuant to the Credit Agreement. This subordination agreement became effective on March 28, 2023, with the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the B&M Note, the first $500,000 of the principal amount of the loan was payable in four equal monthly installments of $125,000 beginning on April 30, 2023, so long as (i) no default or event of default has occurred or is occurring under the WhiteHawk Credit Agreement and (ii) no PIK Option (as such term is defined in the WhiteHawk Refinancing Agreement) has been elected by the Company. The principal amount under the B&M Note bears interest at seven and one-half percent (7.5%). As of September 30, 2024, the Company has paid $500,000 of principal pursuant to the B&M Note. Canaan Promissory Notes On July 19, 2023, the Company entered into a Sales and Purchase Contract with Canaan Inc. ("Canaan") whereby the Company purchased 2,000 A1346 Bitcoin miners for a total purchase price of $2,962,337. The purchase price was payable to Canaan via an upfront payment of $1,777,402 on or before August 1, 2023, which the Company paid on July 25, 2023, and a promissory note of $1,184,935 due to Canaan in ten (10) equal, interest-free installments on the first day of each consecutive month thereafter until the remaining promissory note balance is fully repaid. The miners were delivered and installed during the third quarter of 2023 at the Company's Panther Creek Plant. As of September 30, 2024, the Company fully repaid the promissory note due to Canaan. On December 26, 2023, the Company entered into a second Sales and Purchase Contract with Canaan whereby the Company purchased 1,100 A1346 Bitcoin miners for a total purchase price of $1,380,060. The purchase price was payable to Canaan via an upfront payment of $828,036 on or before December 26, 2023, which the Company paid on December 26, 2023, and a promissory note of $552,024 due to Canaan in six (6) equal, interest-free installments on the first day of each consecutive month thereafter, beginning in 2024, until the remaining promissory note balance is fully repaid. The miners were delivered and installed during the first quarter of 2024 at the Company's Scrubgrass Plant. As of September 30, 2024, the Company fully repaid the promissory note due to Canaan.

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]
CONCENTRATIONS	NOTE 9 – CONCENTRATIONS Credit risk is the risk of loss the Company would incur if counterparties fail to perform their contractual obligations (including accounts receivable). The Company primarily conducts business with counterparties in the cryptocurrency mining and energy industry. This concentration of counterparties may impact the Company’s overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that its counterparties may be similarly affected by changes in economic, regulatory or other conditions. The Company mitigates potential credit losses by dealing, where practical, with counterparties that are rated at investment grade by a major credit agency or have a history of reliable performance within the cryptocurrency mining and energy industry. Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents customarily exceed federally insured limits. For accounts receivable, the Company’s significant credit risk is primarily concentrated with CES. CES accounted for approximately 92% and 100% of the Company's Energy Operations segment revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and approximately 88% and 100% of the Company's Energy Operations segment revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Additionally, approximately 17% and 21% of the Company's total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and approximately 19% and 19% of the Company's total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively, were derived from services provided to two customers. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company purchased approximately 0% and 41% of waste coal, respectively, from two suppliers. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company purchased approximately 40% and 49% of waste coal, respectively, from the same related parties. See Note 8 – Related Party Transactions for further information.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Commitments : As discussed in Note 4 – Equipment Deposits , the Company has entered into various equipment contracts to purchase miners. Most of these contracts required a percentage of deposits upfront and subsequent payments to cover the contracted purchase price of the equipment. Details of the outstanding purchase agreement with MinerVa are summarized below. MinerVa Semiconductor Corp On April 2, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the "MinerVa Purchase Agreement") with MinerVa for the acquisition of 15,000 of their MV7 ASIC SHA256 model cryptocurrency miners with a total terahash to be delivered equal to 1.5 million terahash. The price per miner was $4,892.50 for an aggregate purchase price of $73,387,500 to be paid in installments. The first installment equal to 60% of the purchase price, or $44,032,500, was paid on April 2, 2021, and an additional payment of 20% of the purchase price, or $14,677,500, was paid on June 2, 2021. As of September 30, 2024, there were no remaining deposits owed. In December 2021, the Company extended the deadline for delivery of the MinerVa miners to April 2022. In March 2022, MinerVa was again unable to meet its delivery date and had only delivered approximately 3,200 of the 15,000 miners. As a result, an impairment totaling $12,228,742 was recorded in the first quarter of 2022. Furthermore, in the fourth quarter of 2022, the difference between the fair value of the MinerVa equipment deposits and the carrying value resulted in the Company recording an additional impairment charge of $5,120,000. As of September 30, 2024, MinerVa had delivered, refunded cash or swapped into deliveries of industry-leading miners of equivalent value to approximately 12,700 of the 15,000 miners. As disclosed below, the Company is pursuing legal action through the dispute resolution process, and as a result, the Company no longer expects equipment deliveries. Contingencies: Legal Proceedings The Company experiences litigation in the normal course of business. Certain of these matters are discussed below. The Company accrues for estimated costs related to existing lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings when it is probable that it will incur these costs in the future and the costs are reasonably estimable. McClymonds Supply & Transit Company, Inc. and DTA, L.P. vs. Scrubgrass Generating Company, L.P. On January 31, 2020, McClymonds Supply and Transit Company, Inc. (“McClymonds”) made a Demand for Arbitration, as required by the terms of the Transportation Agreement between McClymonds and Scrubgrass Generating Company, L.P. ("Scrubgrass") dated April 8, 2013 (the “Agreement”). In its demand, McClymonds alleged damages in the amount of $5,042,350 for failure to pay McClymonds for services. On February 18, 2020, Scrubgrass submitted its answering statement denying the claim of McClymonds in its entirety. On March 31, 2020, Scrubgrass submitted its counterclaim against McClymonds in the amount of $6,747,328 as the result of McClymonds’ failure to deliver fuel as required under the terms of the Agreement. Hearings were held from January 31, 2022, to February 3, 2022. On May 9, 2022, an award in the amount of $5.0 million plus interest of approximately $0.8 million was issued in favor of McClymonds. The two managing members of Q Power have executed a binding document to pay the full amount of the award and have begun to pay the full amount of the award, such that there will be no effect on the financial condition of the Company. McClymonds shall have no recourse to the Company with respect to the award. Allegheny Mineral Corporation v. Scrubgrass Generating Company, L.P., Butler County Court of Common Pleas, No. AD 19-11039 In November 2019, Allegheny Mineral Corporation ("Allegheny Mineral") filed suit against the Company seeking payment of approximately $1,200,000 in outstanding invoices. In response, the Company filed counterclaims against Allegheny Mineral asserting breach of contract, breach of express and implied warranties, and fraud in the amount of $1,300,000. After unsuccessful mediation in August 2020, the parties again attempted to mediate the case on October 26, 2022, which led to a mutual agreement to settlement terms of a $300,000 cash payment, and a supply agreement for limestone. Subject to completion of the settlement terms, this matter has been stayed in Butler County Court, and the outstanding litigation has been terminated. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") Matters On November 19, 2021, Scrubgrass received a notice of breach from PJM Interconnection, LLC alleging that Scrubgrass breached Interconnection Service Agreement – No. 1795 (the “ISA”) by failing to provide advance notice to PJM Interconnection, LLC and Mid-Atlantic Interstate Transmission, LLC pursuant to ISA, Appendix 2, section 3, of modifications made to the Scrubgrass Plant. On December 16, 2021, Scrubgrass responded to the notice of breach and respectfully disagreed that the ISA had been breached. On January 7, 2022, Scrubgrass participated in an information gathering meeting with representatives from PJM regarding the notice of breach and continued to work with PJM regarding the dispute, including conducting a necessary study agreement with respect to the Scrubgrass Plant. On January 20, 2022, the Company sent PJM a letter regarding the installation of a resistive computational load bank at the Panther Creek Plant. On March 1, 2022, the Company executed a necessary study agreement with respect to the Panther Creek Plant. PJM’s investigation and discussions with the Company regarding the notice of breach at the Scrubgrass Plant and the Panther Creek Plant are ongoing, including with respect to interim procedures, until the Company receives revised Interconnect Service Agreements for the Scrubgrass Plant and the Panther Creek Plant. Stronghold does not expect to make any material payments related to any resettlements of prior billing statements. The Company continues to expect to source electricity for its computational load banks from the Scrubgrass and Panther Creek Plants; however, Stronghold expects that, until the revised Interconnect Service Agreements are finalized and potentially thereafter, the Company will pay retail rates for electricity that is imported from the grid should it be unable to fully supply power to the computational load banks. On May 11, 2022, the Division of Investigations of the FERC Office of Enforcement (“OE”) informed the Company that the OE was conducting a non-public preliminary investigation concerning Scrubgrass’ compliance with various aspects of the PJM tariff. The OE requested that the Company provide certain information and documents concerning Scrubgrass’ operations by June 10, 2022. On July 13, 2022, after being granted an extension to respond by the OE, the Company submitted a formal response to the OE's request. Since the Company submitted its formal response to the OE's request, the Company has had further discussions with the OE regarding the Company's formal response. The OE's investigation, and discussions between the OE and the Company, regarding potential instances of non-compliance is continuing. The Company does not believe that the PJM notice of breach, the Panther Creek necessary study agreement, discussions regarding other potential issues related to the computational load bank, including power consumption and potential resettlements of billing statements for certain prior months, or the preliminary investigation by the OE will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s reported financial position or results of operations, although the Company cannot predict with certainty the final outcome of these proceedings. Shareholder Securities and Derivative Lawsuits On April 14, 2022, the Company, and certain of our current and former directors, officers and underwriters were named in a putative class action complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Winter v. Stronghold Digital Mining, Case No. 1:22-cv-3088). On August 4, 2022, co-lead plaintiffs were appointed. On October 18, 2022, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, alleging that the Company made misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material facts in violation of Section 11 of the Securities Act, 15 U.S.C. §77k and Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 related to its initial public offering, and when subsequent disclosures were made regarding these operational issues when the Company announced its fourth quarter and full year 2021 financial results, the Company’s stock price fell, causing significant losses and damages. As relief, the plaintiffs are seeking, among other things, compensatory damages. The amended complaint also alleged violations of Section 12 of the Securities Act based on alleged false or misleading statements in the Company’s prospectus related to its initial public offering. On December 19, 2022, the Company filed a motion to dismiss, which the court largely denied on August 10, 2023. On September 8, 2023, the Court entered a Case Management Order, which set a number of case deadlines, including the completion of all discovery by April 21, 2025. On January 19, 2024, the Court granted the motion of one co-lead plaintiff to withdraw from the case, leaving one plaintiff remaining. Plaintiff filed a motion for class certification on February 19, 2024, and defendants’ response to that motion is due on June 10, 2024. The defendants continue to believe the allegations in the complaint are without merit and intend to defend these suits vigorously. On September 5, 2023, and September 15, 2023, respectively, purported shareholders of the Company filed two derivative actions in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Wilson v. Beard, Case No. 1:23-cv-7840, and Navarro v. Beard, Case No. 1:23-cv-08714) against certain of our current and former directors and officers, and the Company as a nominal defendant. The shareholders generally allege that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties by making or failing to prevent the misrepresentations alleged in the putative Winter securities class action, and assert claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, corporate waste, and for contribution under Section 11 of the Securities Act and Section 21D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The two cases were consolidated on October 24, 2023, under the case name In Re Stronghold Digital Mining, Inc., Stockholder Derivative Litigation (the “Consolidated Derivative Action”). On November 21, 2023, the Court entered an order staying the Consolidated Derivative Action pending a ruling on the motion for class certification in the putative Winter securities class action. The defendants believe the allegations in the Consolidated Derivative Action are without merit and intend to defend the suits vigorously. On November 14, 2023, and February 4, 2024, respectfully, purported shareholders of the Company filed two additional derivative actions in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Parker v. Beard, Case No. 23 Civ. 10028 and Bruno v. Beard, Case No. 24 Civ. 798) against certain of our current and former directors and officers, and the Company as a nominal defendant. These lawsuits assert substantially the same claims and allegations as the Wilson and Navarro complaints. Plaintiff in the Bruno action had previously served a books and records demand, as well as an investigation/litigation demand, on the Company making similar allegations. On April 24, 2024, the Parker and Bruno cases were consolidated with the Consolidated Derivative Action by agreement of the parties. As a result, the Parker and Bruno cases are also stayed pending further proceedings in the putative Winter securities class action. Representatives for the Company and plaintiffs executed a Memorandum of Understanding reflecting the terms of their agreement in principle on July 18, 2024. On November 8, 2024, counsel for all parties to the Class Action executed a Stipulation of Settlement (the "Stipulation") which contains the terms of the settlement of the Class Action. Among other terms, the Company has agreed to pay an amount equal to $4.75 million payable in cash on the first day of the month following entry by the District Court of an order preliminarily approving the Stipulation (the "Preliminary Approval"). The Preliminary Approval is expected to be entered into within ninety (90 days) of November 8, 2024. $2.5 million is expected to be covered in full by the Company's insurance providers and paid directly at the time of Preliminary Approval. The terms of the Stipulation also include the Company paying the cash value of twenty-five (25) Bitcoins, one of which will be paid monthly for two years beginning on the first day of the month following Preliminary Approval, and two of which will be paid in the final month. The cash value of each Bitcoin is expected to be calculated monthly according to a price set by the Nasdaq Bitcoin reference price index. The Company expects District Court to enter the Preliminary Approval Order and to schedule a Final Hearing, at which time the shareholders may raise objections to the terms of the settlement as set forth in the Stipulation. The Company expects the final hearing to be scheduled approximately 120 days after the District Court enters the Preliminary Order. The Company has not executed a Memorandum of Understanding with respect to the Consolidated Derivative Actions to date. The Company has agreed to settle the claims in order to avoid the cost, risks and distraction of continued litigation, as the expected costs of defense likely exceeded to amounts agreed to in the Stipulation. The Company continues to deny all allegations of wrongdoing and the Stipulation is not an admission of guilt. However, given the inherent risk of any trial and the potential cost of an adverse resolution of the litigation, the Company believes that the Stipulation is in the Company’s best interest and in the best interests of its stockholders. Mark Grams v. Treis Blockchain, LLC, Chain Enterprises, LLC, Cevon Technologies, LLC, Stronghold Digital Mining, LLC, David Pence, Michael Bolick, Senter Smith, Brian Lambretti and John Chain On May 4, 2023, Stronghold Digital Mining, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, was named as one of several defendants in a complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama Eastern Division (the "Grams Complaint"). The Grams Complaint alleges that certain Bitcoin miners the Company purchased from Treis Blockchain, LLC ("Treis") in December 2021 contained firmware that is alleged to have constituted “trade secrets” owned by Grams. Principally, the Grams Complaint included allegations of misappropriation of these alleged trade secrets. The Company believes that the allegations against it and its subsidiaries in the Grams Complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the suit. To that end, the Company has entered into a joint defense agreement with Treis and the other named defendants. The Company has also entered into a tolling agreement with Treis. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the case for lack of personal jurisdiction on June 23, 2023. On October 6, 2023, Grams filed an Amended Complaint, to which the Company filed a renewed Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction, or in the Alternative to Transfer the Case to the District of South Carolina, in addition to a renewed Motion to Dismiss several causes of action alleged in the Amended Complaint. On December 8, 2023, the Company filed its reply to Plaintiff’s response to the Company's Motion to Transfer or Alternatively to Dismiss pursuant to Rule 12(b)(2). On April 12, 2024, Grams filed an opposition to the Company’s previously filed motion to dismiss. On April 22, 2024, the Company filed a reply in support of its motion to dismiss. A ruling on the pending motions is expected to be forthcoming in the foreseeable future. On July 8, 2024, the Court denied the Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction, or in the Alternative to Transfer the Case to the District of South Carolina. It further requested the Defendants to refile their Motion to Dismiss several causes of action alleged in the Amended Complaint so that the court could consider that motion separately. Defendants filed their Motion to Dismiss on July 22, 2024. The Company does not believe the Grams Complaint will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s reported financial position or results of operations. MinerVa Purchase Agreement On July 18, 2022, the Company provided written notice of dispute to MinerVa pursuant to the MinerVa Purchase Agreement. Under the MinerVa Purchase Agreement, the Company and MinerVa were required to work together in good faith towards a resolution for a period of sixty (60) days following this notice, after which, if no settlement had been reached, the Company could end discussions, declare an impasse, and adhere to the dispute resolution provisions of the MinerVa Purchase Agreement. As the 60-day period has expired, the Company is evaluating all available remedies under the MinerVa Purchase Agreement. On October 30, 2023, the Company sent MinerVa a Notice of Impasse. On October 31, 2023, the Company filed a Statement of Claim in Calgary, Alberta against MinerVa for breach of contract related to the MinerVa Purchase Agreement. On October 18, 2024, the Company filed an Amended Statement of Claim that adds additional misrepresentation allegations against MinerVa and Chong Chao Ma, MinerVa’s former Chief Executive Officer and Director. The Claim is ongoing before the Alberta courts. John W. Krynock v. Panther Creek Fuel Services, LLC c/o Olympus Power On June 2, 2023, Panther Creek Fuel Services, LLC, an affiliate of the Company was named as a defendant in a Federal Black Lung Case under Title IV of the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969. The Plaintiff previously settled a state law claim with a predecessor in interest of the Company. The Company denies any liability in connection with the claim and intends to defend the suit vigorously. The Company does not believe that the claim will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s reported financial position or results of operations, although the Company cannot predict with any certainty the outcome of these proceedings. Department of Environmental Protection On November 9, 2023, the Company entered into a Consent Order and Agreement (“COA”) with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection (“DEP”). Pursuant to the COA, the DEP found that a July 5, 2022, inspection of the Company’s Scrubgrass Plant observed that coal ash at the Scrubgrass Plant exceeded the capacity of the permitted ash conditioning area as approved by the DEP on September 12, 2007. The COA found that the Scrubgrass Plant’s storage of excess waste coal ash violated certain provisions of the Solid Waste Management Act and Pennsylvania Code, among other items. Pursuant to the COA, Scrubgrass must pay a civil penalty in the amount of $28,800, in two equal installments within ninety (90) days of entry into the COA. The Company made the first payment to the DEP on November 10, 2023. The terms of the COA also require the Company to remove (i) a minimum of 80,000 tons of excess waste coal ash by November 9, 2024, (ii) 160,000 aggregate tons of excess waste coal ash by November 9, 2025, (iii) 220,000 aggregate tons of excess waste coal ash by November 9, 2026, and (iv) all remaining excess waste coal ash by November 9, 2027, such that the ash conditioning area is consistent with the specifications accepted by the DEP on September 7, 2007. Beginning on January 24, 2024, the Company is to provide quarterly progress reports to the DEP. On December 15, 2023, the Scrubgrass Creek Watershed Association and Citizens for Pennsylvania’s Future filed a Notice of Appeal to the Environmental Hearing Board regarding the COA (the “COA Appeal”). The Company has removed in excess of 80,000 tons coal ash from the Scrubgrass Plant during the time period from November 9, 2023 until November 9, 2024. The Company has been made aware that waste coal ash from one transporter may not have arrived at its contracted location. The Company is currently investigating this situation. This waste coal ash represents a small percentage of the waste coal ash to be removed under the COA. Previously, in connection with the COA, in 2023 the Company had discussions with the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission (“PUC”) and the DEP regarding potential resettlement or forfeiture of Pennsylvania Tier II Alternative Energy Credits during any period of non-compliance, between July 5-22, 2022. In February of 2024, the Company retired 25,968 Alternative Energy Credits reflective of the amount of credits generated during the period of non-compliance from July 5-22, 2022. At this time, the Company does not believe the COA, COA Appeal or discussions with the PUC will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s reported financial position or its operations. Save Carbon County On March 26, 2024, the Company, Panther Creek Power Operating, LLC, Stronghold and Stronghold LLC were named as defendants (collectively, the “Stronghold Defendants”) in a complaint filed in the Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia County by Save Carbon County (the “Complaint”). In addition to the Stronghold Defendants, Josh Shapiro in his capacity as the Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Jessica Shirley in her capacity as the Interim Secretary for the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, and the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission were named as defendants. Pursuant to the Complaint, Save Carbon County alleges certain public nuisance, private nuisance, products liability, and negligence claims against the Stronghold Defendants and demands compensatory and punitive damages, together with costs of suit, interest, and attorney’s fees. On July 30, 2024, the parties stipulated to the transfer of the litigation to the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania, where the litigation will resume in the initial pleading stage, including resolution of preliminary objections to dismiss or narrow the scope of the Complaint's claims. The Commonwealth Court processed the transfer on October 8, 2024, and the Company filed its preliminary objections on October 28, 2024. The Company believes the Complaint is without merit. The Company does not believe that the claim will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s reported financial position or results of operations, although the Company cannot predict with any certainty the outcome of these proceedings.

Refer to Note 12 – Noncontrolling Interests for more details. The Company classifies its Class V common stock as redeemable common stock in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as, pursuant to the Stronghold LLC Agreement, the redemption rights of each unit held by Q Power for either shares of Class A common stock or an equivalent amount of cash is not solely within the Company’s control. This is due to the holders of the Class V common stock collectively owning a majority of the voting stock of the Company, which allows the holders of Class V common stock to elect the members of the Board, including those directors who determine whether to make a cash payment upon a Stronghold LLC unit holder’s exercise of its redemption rights. Redeemable common stock is recorded at the greater of the book value or redemption amount from the date of the issuance, April 1, 2021, and the reporting date as of September 30, 2024. The Company recorded redeemable common stock as presented in the table below.

Upon the fifth anniversary of the Series C Preferred Stock, each outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock will automatically and immediately convert into Class A common stock or pre-funded warrants. In the event of a liquidation, the Purchasers shall be entitled to receive an amount per share of Series C Preferred Stock equal to its stated value of $1,000 per share. The Exchange Agreement closed on February 20, 2023.

As a result of the Series D Exchange Transaction, the Company recorded a deemed contribution of $20,492,568 resulting from the extinguishment of 15,582 shares of Series C Preferred Stock associated with the Series D Exchange Transaction. The deemed contribution represented the difference between the carrying value of the existing Series C Preferred Stock and the estimated fair value of the newly-issued Series D Preferred Stock.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE	NOTE 17 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Basic EPS is computed by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) by the weighted average number of Class A shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. The following table sets forth reconciliations of the numerators and denominators used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023. Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 Numerator: Net loss $ (22,670,592) $ (22,311,913) $ (38,095,300) $ (80,664,604) Less: net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest (3,181,407) (5,188,727) (5,588,300) (26,663,731) Net loss attributable to Stronghold Digital Mining, Inc. $ (19,489,185) $ (17,123,186) $ (32,507,000) $ (54,000,873) Denominator : Weighted average number of Class A common shares outstanding 14,594,955 7,569,511 14,319,202 6,047,891 Basic net loss per share $ (1.34) $ (2.26) $ (2.27) $ (8.93) Diluted net loss per share $ (1.34) $ (2.26) $ (2.27) $ (8.93) Securities that could potentially dilute earnings (loss) per share in the future were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2024, the potentially dilutive impact of Series C Preferred Stock not yet exchanged for shares of Class A common stock was 1,497,500 , the potentially dilutive impact of Class V shares not yet exchanged for shares of Class A common stock was 2,405,760, and the potentially dilutive impact of outstanding warrants (excluding those with a $0.01 exercise price) was 3,865,910.

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES	9 Months Ended

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	NOTE 18 – INCOME TAXES Tax Receivable Agreement The Company entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) with Q Power and an agent named by Q Power on April 1, 2021 (to which an additional holder was subsequently joined as an additional "TRA Holder" on March 14, 2023), pursuant to which the Company will pay the TRA Holders 85% of the realized (or, in certain circumstances, deemed to be realized) cash tax savings attributable to the tax basis step-ups arising from taxable exchanges of units and certain other items. During 2022 and 2023, taxable exchanges of Stronghold LLC units, together with a corresponding number of Class V common shares by Q Power for Class A common stock of the Company, resulted in adjustments to the tax basis of Stronghold LLC’s assets. Such step-ups in tax basis, which were allocated to Stronghold Inc., are expected to increase Stronghold Inc.’s tax depreciation, amortization and/or other cost recovery deductions, which may reduce the amount of tax Stronghold Inc. would otherwise be required to pay in the future. No cash tax savings have been realized by Stronghold Inc. with respect to these basis adjustments due to the Company’s estimated taxable losses, and the realization of cash tax savings in the future is dependent, in part, on estimates of sufficient future taxable income. As such, a deferred income tax asset has not been recorded due to maintaining a valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred income tax assets, and no liability has been recorded with respect to the TRA in light of the applicable criteria for accrual. Estimating the amount and timing of Stronghold Inc.'s realization of income tax benefits subject to the TRA is imprecise and unknown at this time and will vary based on a number of factors, including when future redemptions actually occur. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any deferred income tax asset or liability associated with the TRA. TRA Waiver and Termination Agreement On August 21, 2024, concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the Company, Parent and each of the TRA Holders entered into a TRA Waiver and Termination Agreement (the “TRA Waiver”), pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, subject to and effective upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, to (i) terminate the TRA, dated April 1, 2021, as amended November 9, 2022, by and among the Company and the TRA Holders and (ii) waive the Early Termination Payment (as defined in the TRA) pursuant to the TRA, which would have otherwise become payable to the TRA Holders in connection with the consummation of the merger, and any other amounts to which the TRA Holders would have otherwise been entitled under the TRA. The TRA continues to be in effect prior to the completion of the Merger Agreement, but due to the TRA Waiver discussed above, the TRA is not recorded and is not currently expected to have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Provision for Income Taxes The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, was zero, resulting in an effective income tax rate of zero. The difference between the statutory income tax rate of 21% and the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, was primarily due to pre-tax losses attributable to the noncontrolling interest and due to maintaining a valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred income tax assets. The determination to record a valuation allowance was based on management’s assessment of all available evidence, both positive and negative, supporting realizability of the Company’s net operating losses and other deferred income tax assets, as required by ASC 740, Income Taxes . In light of the criteria under ASC 740 for recognizing the tax benefit of deferred income tax assets, the Company maintained a valuation allowance against its federal and state deferred income tax assets as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE	NOTE 20 – FAIR VALUE In addition to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, such as digital currencies pursuant to ASU 2023-08 as described above in Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Note 2 – Digital Currencies , the Company also measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The Company's non-financial assets, including operating lease right-of-use assets and property, plant and equipment, are measured at fair value when there is an indication of impairment and the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s projected undiscounted cash flows. These assets are recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Adverse changes in business climate, including decreases in the price of Bitcoin and resulting decreases in the market price of miners, may indicate that an impairment triggering event has occurred. If the testing performed indicates the estimated fair value of the Company’s miners to be less than their net carrying value, an impairment charge will be recognized, decreasing the net carrying value of the Company’s miners to their estimated fair value.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	NOTE 21 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Matthew Smith Resignation On October 25, 2024, the Company announced that Matthew Smith, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, will resign from such position effective November 15, 2024. Mr. Smith will also resign from the Company's Board at such time. Mr. Smith’s resignation was not because of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices, including accounting principles and practices. At this time, the Company does not intend to fill the vacancy on the Board that will be created following the effective date of Mr. Smith’s resignation. Simultaneous with his departure, the Company and Mr. Smith entered into a Consulting Agreement (the "Consulting Agreement") pursuant to which Mr. Smith will provide assistance with the Company’s finance function, and a transition from Mr. Smith's prior employment with the Company, as requested by the Company. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, Mr. Smith will be paid $400 per hour, and a minimum of $8,000 per month representative of twenty (20) hours per month. The Consulting Agreement has a three (3) month term and may be terminated at any time by either party upon five (5) days' notice. Second Bitfarms Hosting Agreement On October 29, 2024, Stronghold Digital Mining Hosting, LLC (“Stronghold Hosting”), a Delaware limited liability company and indirect subsidiary of the Company entered into a Hosting Agreement (the “Second Hosting Agreement”) with Backbone Mining Solutions LLC (“BMS”), a Delaware limited liability company and a subsidiary of Bitfarms Ltd., a corporation organized under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (“Bitfarms”), pursuant to which BMS will deliver approximately 10,000 Bitmain T21 or similar miners owned by BMS (the “BMS Miners”) to the Company’s mining facilities, and the Company will provide power to, maintain, host and operate the BMS Miners. The initial term of the Second Hosting Agreement will commence on November 1, 2024 and remain effective until December 31, 2025, after which it will automatically renew for additional one year periods unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal to the other party at least sixty days prior to the expiration of the then-current initial term or renewal term, as applicable. Upon the occurrence of an event of default that is not cured within fifteen days, the non-breaching party may terminate the Second Hosting Agreement. Pursuant to the Second Hosting Agreement, BMS will pay Stronghold Hosting a monthly fee equal to fifty percent (50%) of the profit generated by the BMS Miners, subject to certain monthly adjustments between the parties to account for the upfront monthly payment due from BMS to Stronghold Hosting in an amount of $600,000, and for taxes and the net cost of power associated with the operation of the BMS Miners. In connection with the execution of the Second Hosting Agreement, BMS deposited with Stronghold Hosting $7,800,000 (the “Second Deposit”), equal to the estimated cost of power for three months of operations of the BMS Miners, which will be refundable in full to BMS within one business day of the end of the initial term expiring on December 31, 2025. The Second Deposit will bear interest at a floating rate equal to the forward-looking term secured overnight financing rate as administered by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited for the applicable interest period plus 1.0%, payable in kind on the last day of each calendar quarter by capitalizing and adding such interest to the then-outstanding amount of the Second Deposit. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default under the Second Hosting Agreement, the principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the Second Deposit shall bear interest from the date of such event of default, until cured or waived, at a rate equal to 24.0%. Given the Company's efforts to high-grade its fleet, including through the First Hosting Agreement and Second Hosting Agreement with Bitfarms, we are exploring alternatives for a portion of our current fleet of Bitcoin miners. Fourth Amendment to the Cantaloupe Hosting Agreement On November 4, 2024, Stronghold Digital Mining Hashco, LLC and Cantaloupe Digital, LLC ("Cantaloupe") entered into a fourth amendment (the "Fourth Amendment") to the Hosting Agreement dated April 27, 2023. Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, Cantaloupe is to deliver 4,000 Model A1446 Bitcoin miners, to replace the previously delivered 4,000 Model A1346 Bitcoin miners, to the Company's Panther Creek facility by December 31, 2024.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Policies

BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), have been condensed or omitted. Certain reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in order to conform to current presentation. Additionally, since there are no differences between net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), all references to comprehensive income (loss) have been excluded from the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition Accounting Policy	Revenue Recognition Accounting Policy The following disclosure represents the Company’s corrected revenue recognition policy specific to its cryptocurrency hosting revenues. Except for the updates noted below, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, for a detailed discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies. Cryptocurrency Hosting Revenue The Company has entered into customer hosting contracts whereby the Company promises to unload, install, provision, maintain, and operate the hosted Bitcoin mining machines located at the Company’s premises, which includes hosting services comprised of electrical power, internet access, racking infrastructure, general maintenance and operations as instructed in writing by the customer, ambient cooling, and miner reboots. Each of these promises is not separately identifiable from the other promises in the Company’s hosting contracts and, therefore, represents a single performance obligation to provide an integrated hosting service. The Company has two customer hosting contracts that are currently in operation for initial terms of 24 months ending December 31, 2024, and April 30, 2025, that automatically renew for additional one-year periods unless one party notifies the other in writing at least 60 days prior to the conclusion of the then-current term. Neither the Company nor the customers can cancel or terminate the hosting agreements without penalty before the initial terms of 24 months elapse. Therefore, the accounting duration of the hosting contracts is two years. The Company has determined the renewal options do not provide a material right to the hosting customers because the price charged for the Company’s integrated hosting service approximates the standalone selling price in total. Because each contract’s renewal option does not provide a material right to the hosting customers, the Company has concluded that the renewal option is not a performance obligation that requires an allocation of the transaction price. Therefore, the Company will recognize revenue for the integrated hosting service to be provided during the additional one-year renewal periods only if and when the Company provides those services. The consideration of the Company’s hosting contracts is comprised of (i) the variable cost-of-power fee, denominated in cash, and (ii) a portion of the Bitcoin mined by the customers’ Bitcoin mining machines that the Company hosts, denominated in Bitcoin. The promised amount of consideration does not include a significant financing component and, therefore, is not adjusted for the effects of the time value of money in determining the transaction price. i. The variable cost-of-power fee is directly tied to the energy used by the hosted Bitcoin mining machines and calculated as 50% of the energy used by the Bitcoin mining machines multiplied by a formulaically derived rate. This rate is calculated by dividing (1) all fuel costs, operations and maintenance expenses, general and administrative expenses, and financing charges incurred (subject to certain adjustments), multiplied by 110%, by (2) the total number of megawatt hours generated and purchased from the grid to supply the data center. All estimates associated with the variable cost-of-power consideration are fully constrained. The Company only includes the variable cost-of-power consideration in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Therefore, each quarterly reporting period when the uncertainty is resolved, the Company includes in the transaction price the actual amount of the variable cost-of-power-fee and, at that point, reassesses the estimated transaction price to determine whether an estimate of the variable consideration over the remaining two-year contract term is fully constrained. ii. The Company’s portion of the Bitcoin mined by the customers’ Bitcoin mining machines that the Company hosts, or 50%, is also variable but in the form of noncash (Bitcoin) consideration. All estimates associated with the Company’s portion of the variable Bitcoin mined by the customers’ hosted Bitcoin mining machines are fully constrained. ASC 606 requires an entity to measure noncash consideration using the estimated fair value of the consideration at contract inception. The Company has two hosting contracts with customers that are currently in operation, for which the quoted price of Bitcoin in the Company’s principal market at the time of each contract’s inception was approximately $23,000 and $30,000. The Company only includes the variable noncash (Bitcoin) consideration in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Therefore, each quarterly reporting period when the uncertainty is resolved, the Company includes in the transaction price the noncash (Bitcoin) consideration equal to the product of (1) the Company’s portion of the Bitcoin mined by the customers’ hosted Bitcoin mining machines during the reporting period, and (2) the quoted price of Bitcoin in the Company’s principal market at the time of each contract’s inception. At the end of each quarterly reporting period, the Company also reassesses the estimated transaction price to determine whether an estimate of the variable consideration over the remaining two-year contract term is fully constrained. Subsequent changes in the fair value of such noncash consideration that are due to the form of the consideration (i.e., fluctuations in the value of Bitcoin) are excluded from the transaction price. Because there is only one performance obligation – to provide an integrated hosting service to the Company’s hosting customers – all of the transaction price described above is allocated to the single performance obligation for revenue recognition purposes. The Company recognizes revenue for the transaction price over time as the Company satisfies its performance obligation to provide an integrated hosting service. Throughout the two-year term of the hosting contracts, the hosting customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Company’s performance of its integrated hosting service. The Company has a right to consideration from its hosting customers in amounts that correspond directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date. Therefore, the Company has adopted the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-55-18, which permits an entity to recognize revenue in the amount to which the entity has a right to invoice. The amount to which the Company has a right to invoice, and therefore recognize revenue, includes the actual cost-of-power and Bitcoin mining components of the transaction price that are updated each quarterly reporting period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized cryptocurrency hosting revenues of $1,266,097 and $4,399,662, respectively, for the cost-of-power component of the transaction price, and $645,513 and $6,793,776, respectively, for the Company’s portion of Bitcoin mined by the customer’s hosted Bitcoin mining machines. Advance payments and customer deposits are recorded as contract liabilities, within other noncurrent liabilities or accrued liabilities as applicable, in the consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had contract liability balances of approximately $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively, associated with its two customer hosting contracts that are currently in operation. In September 2024, the Company entered into a third hosting contract that resulted in an additional contract liability balance of approximately $8.0 million as of September 30, 2024, comprised of a customer deposit of $7.8 million and an advance payment of approximately $0.2 million. This third hosting contract is not currently in operation but will become operational during the fourth quarter of 2024. Additionally, refer to Note 21 – Subsequent Events for information about a fourth hosting contract the Company entered into after quarter end on October 29, 2024. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized cryptocurrency hosting revenues of approximately $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, that were included in contract liabilities at the beginning of each respective period. The Company had no accounts receivable balances as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, associated with its two customer hosting contracts that are currently in operation.
Recently Implemented Accounting Pronouncements/Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Implemented Accounting Pronouncements In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses , which adds a new impairment model, known as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model, that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes an allowance for its estimate of expected credit losses at the initial recognition of an in-scope financial instrument and applies it to most debt instruments, trade receivables, lease receivables, financial guarantee contracts, and other loan commitments. The CECL model does not have a minimum threshold for recognition of impairment losses, and entities will need to measure expected credit losses on assets that have a low risk of loss. Since the Company is a smaller reporting company, as defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), the new guidance became effective on January 1, 2023. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2023, but the adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other - Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60) , which requires all entities holding crypto assets that meet certain requirements to subsequently measure those in-scope crypto assets at fair value, with the remeasurement recorded in net income. Among other things, the new guidance also requires separate presentation of (i) the gain or loss associated with remeasurement of crypto assets on the income statement and (ii) crypto assets from other intangible assets on the balance sheet. Before this new guidance, crypto assets were generally accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets, which follow a cost-less-impairment accounting model that only reflects decreases, but not increases, in the fair value of crypto assets holdings until sold. Although early adoption is permitted, the new guidance becomes effective on January 1, 2025, and should be applied using a modified retrospective transition method with a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2023-08 as of January 1, 2024, and the cumulative adjustment increased the opening balance of retained earnings by $99,292. See Note 2 – Digital Currencies for more information. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements During the first nine months of 2024, there have been no recently issued accounting pronouncements applicable to the Company. However, the Company continues to evaluate the impact of the following accounting pronouncements issued during the prior year. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure , which requires public entities to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Additionally, public entities with a single reportable segment will be required to provide the new disclosures and all the disclosures required under ASC 280, Segment Reporting . Although early adoption is permitted, this new guidance becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its interim and annual consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures, particularly in the rate reconciliation table and disclosures about income taxes paid. Although early adoption is permitted, this new guidance becomes effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its interim and annual consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
