Shares of BitFuFu fell after the company widened its loss and logged lower revenue in the first quarter.

The stock slipped 15%, to $1.70, Friday, extending its more than 50% decline over the past year.

The bitcoin miner before the bell reported a loss of $35 million, compared with a loss of $16.9 million a year earlier.

The quarterly loss came out to 20 cents a share. Analysts polled by FactSet had expected earnings of three cents a share.

Revenue fell 6.8% to $72.7 million and missed Wall Street models for $93.3 million.

Chief Executive Leo Lu said lower bitcoin prices weighed on the recent-quarter's results through a fair value loss. BitFuFu was able to offset some of the pressure by staying disciplined with regards to cost, procurement and capital allocation, he added.

"Operationally, we continued improving fleet efficiency and optimizing our mining portfolio, including disposing of older-generation machines and managing our bitcoin position in line with our treasury strategy, as we work toward refreshing capacity over time with newer, more energy-efficient equipment," Lu said.
