in the coming months as we advance our high-performance computing
hosting strategy and other key strategic initiatives. I look
forward to supporting the Board and management team in their work
to identify the right financial leader for the Company’s next phase
of growth.”

weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting; price
volatility of digital assets and bitcoin in particular; the
“halving” and other reduction of rewards available on the Bitcoin
network, affecting our ability to generate revenue; the potential

assets;; potential changes in the interpretive positions of the SEC
or its staff with respect to digital asset mining firms; the
increasing likelihood that U.S. federal and state legislatures and
regulatory agencies will enact laws and regulations to regulate
