Dividend coverage

Not assessed — last reported dividend predates the accounts. The most recent fiscal year in which RIOT reported a dividend payment is FY2017, while its reported financial statements run through FY2025. Coverage is therefore not assessed for the latest year — an FY2017 ratio would not describe RIOT today.

Coverage is derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures, comparing dividends paid against net income and free cash flow for the SAME fiscal year. It is not shown here because the latest fiscal year with a reported dividend payment (FY2017) is older than the latest year of reported financial statements (FY2025), so any ratio would describe an out-of-date year.

How RIOT PLATFORMS INC looks technically

RIOT PLATFORMS INC (RIOT) is trading 12.5% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 106 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal. There is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 17, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though sellers have been pushing harder than buyers lately — pressure, not a trend. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 32, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 8 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative). It just made a new 20-day low, its first since 2026-04-29, breaking below its recent trading range. It is 44.5% below its highest point of the past year.

Position in its 14-day rangeit is trading near the bottom of its 14-day range ($16.36 to $25.39) — its "stochastic" reading is 5 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle.

Bearish technical signals4 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: trading below its 200-day average, a fresh 20-day low, MACD momentum is negative, trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast4 of 9

Trend (Ichimoku cloud)

1
Vs the Ichimoku cloudtrading 17% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-09-01 and projected forward over today's price, the side traders read as an established downtrend, with the band above acting as the level that would have to be cleared. The band itself is thick, spanning 21.0% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that has held for a while and takes effort to cross.-17.3%

Volume-weighted price

Vs this year’s average price paidthe price is 14% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $19.50 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 188 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP.-13.6%
Vs the average paid since it last reportedthe price is 18% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-10 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water.

Wave structure

Its recent swings can be read as a three-part upward correction — the A-B-C shape chartists use for a pullback — now complete.

This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes above $25.39.

It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones.

This reading has stood for 8 trading days, since 2026-09-29.

Only open-market purchases (SEC code P) and sales (code S) are counted here. Option exercises, vesting/awards, gifts, and shares withheld for taxes are excluded — they are compensation or mechanical, not open-market conviction. Sales may be planned and non-discretionary (e.g. a Rule 10b5-1 plan) and are not necessarily bearish; open-market buying is not a recommendation to buy. Informational only — not financial advice.

reported quarterly holdings change (2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30): 1 new, 4 increased, 0 decreased, 0 exited. Change counts cover only managers that filed 13F reports in BOTH quarters, derived between two quarter-end snapshots — not same-day trades; a single manager is never said to have "bought" or "sold".

Institutional holdings are quarter-end long positions reported on SEC Form 13F-HR, filed up to 45 days after the quarter ends — they are delayed, are not real-time trades, exclude short positions and most non-US securities, and are not investment advice. Any increase/decrease is a reported change between two quarterly snapshots, not a same-day purchase or sale. These are quarter-end snapshots from the 13F filings on SEC EDGAR, filed within 45 days — not real-time, and any change is a difference between two quarterly reports, not a same-day trade.

Short interest (FINRA)

RIOT had 51,105,102 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).

RIOT had 13.6% of its shares outstanding sold short as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (percent of FLOAT would be higher — float is not disclosed in the source). FINRA reported 3.6 days to cover at the same settlement.

  • Short interest (% of shares outstanding) 13.6%
  • Prior settlement (shares) 51,866,945
  • Reported change -1.47%
  • Days to cover (reported) 3.6

Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-09-15 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
