About Creek Road Miners, Inc.

Creek Road Miners, Inc. is a US-listed company whose corporate history reflects a major strategic pivot rather than a stable, long-duration operating model. Incorporated in Delaware on May 2, 2001, the business originally operated in live pop-culture events under names such as Wizard Entertainment, Wizard World, and Wizard Brands before adopting the Creek Road Miners name in July 2021. That rebrand signaled a shift toward digital assets and cryptocurrency mining, with the company describing plans to develop “bitcoin manufacturing” facilities powered by natural gas in order to benefit from lower-cost energy and a potentially more favorable operating structure. The SEC record also places the company’s business address in Park City, Utah, and shows a history rooted in the United States market, where it was followed as a very small-cap, high-volatility issuer. Historically, the company spent years building and promoting pop culture conventions across North America. The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted that legacy business, forcing management to suspend live shows, reduce reliance on events, and explore adjacent digital monetization strategies such as virtual events, e-commerce, NFTs, and then crypto mining. In June 2022, company communications emphasized the economics of fixed or low-priced energy as a source of competitive advantage for bitcoin mining, underlining the centrality of power access to the investment case. A second, even more consequential transformation occurred in 2023. SEC filings show that on May 3, 2023, Creek Road Miners completed a merger and changed its name to Prairie Operating Co. The company then described itself as operating in two segments: E&P, focused on oil, natural gas, and NGL development, exploration and production, and cryptocurrency mining. That means the story is now best understood as an energy platform with a legacy crypto component, rather than a pure digital-asset miner or media company. The company also moved through multiple trading symbols and ultimately began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market in December 2023, after a transition period on OTC markets. For French, Belgian, and Swiss investors, Creek Road Miners is best viewed as a special-situation micro-cap with a complex corporate past, a US domicile, and a business profile that has evolved from entertainment to crypto mining and then into broader upstream energy exposure. Its competitive position is less about scale leadership and more about strategic repositioning, asset optionality, and management’s ability to execute across changing capital-intensive segments in the United States.
