AgriFORCE Expands Acquisition Strategy with Focus on Sustainability and Digital Innovation
December 10 2024 - 8:30AM
AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: AGRI), a technology-driven
company committed to sustainable innovation, has signed a Letter of
Intent (LOI) to acquire a Bitcoin mining facility in Madison
Township, Ohio. The facility is powered by sustainable energy,
advancing AgriFORCE’s mission to integrate innovative technologies
that promote environmental stewardship while generating significant
financial returns.
The 5MW facility mirrors a recently announced acquisition in
Sturgeon County, Alberta, Canada. It features five 1MW natural gas
generator power plants that support Bitcoin mining activities.
AgriFORCE plans to optimize the facility’s operations by
repurposing heat and carbon offsets, driving revenue
diversification through sustainable agribusinesses like premium
crop cultivation and aquaculture.
Expanding Bitcoin Mining with a Vision for
SustainabilityDavid Welch, AgriFORCE Chairman, emphasized
the importance of addressing food insecurity in Ohio, stating,
"With Ohio ranking 13th in the nation for food insecurity,
affecting 13.7% of households—approximately 640,000 families—we see
an opportunity to make a meaningful impact. By integrating carbon
capture and heat reuse technologies with the cultivation of premium
crops and aquaculture, we aim to produce nutrient-dense foods such
as white-legged shrimp, microgreens, and red seaweed. These efforts
are not only designed to offset emissions from Bitcoin mining but
also to contribute to food security and drive economic development
in the region, helping communities access fresh, sustainable, and
locally sourced food options. These sustainable practices are
further designed to offset the greenhouse gas emissions associated
with high-energy Bitcoin mining, demonstrating a replicable model
for our future growth.”
Merging Digital Currency and Sustainable
SolutionsAgriFORCE CEO Jolie Kahn emphasized the financial
and environmental benefits of the project, stating, "As
demonstrated by our Sturgeon County acquisition, we are advancing a
strategy that combines the potential of Bitcoin and other digital
currencies to facilitate sustainable financial transactions. At the
same time, we are repurposing carbon and heat offsets to create new
business lines and revenue streams with environmentally conscious
practices. This approach supports the local economy and aligns with
our goal of addressing critical challenges in energy and food
production.”
AgriFORCE anticipates that the acquisition will generate
immediate cash flow upon closing, scheduled for early Q1 2025.
