Thank you, Leo. Good morning, everyone. Now I would like to present our third quarter 2025 financial and operating results. This quarter marked the highest revenue quarter in BitFuFu's history, with total revenue reaching $180.7 million, representing 100% year-over-year growth. This achievement is particularly encouraging because it was delivered against the challenging backdrop of steadily increasing global hash rate and network difficulty despite an approximately 88% increase in the average price of Bitcoin compared to the same period last year.
In terms of the bottom line, third quarter 2025 net income increased to $11.6 million from a $5 million loss in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA was $22.1 million compared to $5.8 million in the same period last year. For the 3 months ended September 30, 2025, basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share were $0.07 compared to a $0.03 loss per share in the same period of 2024, this performance demonstrates the resilience of our business model and our disciplined execution.
Looking at the segments. Cloud mining revenue increased to $122.9 million, a 78% year-over-year increase and a 30% increase compared to the second quarter. For the quarter, cloud mining revenue accounted for 68% of total revenue. Self mining revenue was $20.1 million, down slightly year-over-year, but up almost 36% from the second quarter and represented 11% of total revenue. We experienced a sharp increase in mining equipment sales, with revenue increasing to $35.8 million, representing almost 20% of total revenue.
Since Leo thoroughly covered the revenue by business line, I will keep this brief and highlight a few metrics. In the cloud mining sector, customer demand for cloud hash rate grew strongly again this quarter with demand exceeding supply. New customers contributed approximately 33% of cloud mining revenue in the third quarter, while existing customers contributed approximately 67%. A standout metric I'd like to emphasize is our exceptional net dollar retention rate of nearly 120% for the third quarter of 2025, a clear indicator of the robust health and growth within our existing client base.
In the third quarter, we produced a total of 1,207 Bitcoins, including 174 Bitcoins from self mining and 1,033 Bitcoins generated through client cloud mining activities. Total quarterly costs were $173.5 million, which included depreciation and amortization expense of $7.5 million. This represents an increase of 94% compared to the same period in 2024 and is commensurate with the 100% increase in revenue. Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2025 declined 52.6% year-over-year due to lower stock compensation expense of $0.2 million versus $4.3 million in 2024.
Excluding the impact of stock compensation expense, total third quarter 2025 operating expenses as a percentage of revenue improved by 91 basis points year-over-year and 94 basis points sequentially, demonstrating our focus on controlling costs while maintaining strong top line growth. As of September 30, 2025, the company held $32.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $222.1 million in digital assets compared to $38.2 million and $129.9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024. The 71% increase in digital assets was primarily driven by the company's treasury management strategy and a 22% increase in the price of Bitcoin from December 31, 2024 to September 30, 2025.
In addition, the company held $68 million in digital asset collateral receivables, which represents Bitcoin pledged to lenders in exchange for borrowings. The company's balance of cash and digital assets are sufficient to meet working capital requirements. We also proactively maintain suitable financing options to support future capital expenditures. In June 2025, we established a $150 million at-the-market ATM equity program.
Over the past few months, we have issued approximately 1.5 million shares for $6 million from this program at a measured pace, mindful of dilution to existing shareholders. These smaller periodic issuances have also effectively enhanced the trading liquidity of our stock. We are pleased to note that the average daily trading volume of the stock in the third quarter increased by 138% and 9.5% compared to the first and second quarters of 2025, respectively.
The strong third quarter results underscore our ability to drive solid top line growth regardless of broader macro conditions. We continue to expand capacity and partnerships with measured CapEx, preserve ample liquidity and maintain a strong balance sheet. We remain committed to increasing our owned capacity footprint and tapping into new areas of growth to drive long-term value for our shareholders. This concludes my remarks. I will now turn the call back to Leo.
