Digihost Provides April 2023 Production Update
May 02 2023 - 6:00AM
Digihost Technology Inc. (“
Digihost” or the
“
Company”) (Nasdaq: DGHI; TSXV: DGHI), an
innovative U.S. based blockchain technology and computer
infrastructure company, is pleased to provide unaudited comparative
Bitcoin (“
BTC”) production results for the month
ended April 30, 2023, combined with an operations update. All
monetary references are expressed in USD unless otherwise
indicated.
Monthly Production Highlights for April
2023
- Mined approximately 75 BTC,
resulting in total holdings of 19.28 BTC at the end of April valued
at approximately $0.6 million based on a BTC price of $29,269 as of
April 30, 2023.
- Of the 75 BTC mined, approximately
61 were self-mined with the remainder under JV hosting
partnerships.
- Production of BTC mined is expected
to continue to ramp up in Q2, as the Company completes the
infrastructure setup at its recently acquired site. Infrastructure
installation has been completed at the Company’s other two
sites.
- The Company is currently self
mining at a rate of approximately 2.1 BTC per day. Assuming a
continuation of the current level of network difficulty and
completion of existing infrastructure work, the Company expects to
produce approximately 5.5 BTC per day by the end of Q2 2023 thereby
increasing its current hashing power from approximately 900 PH to 2
EH.
- The Company held cash, BTC and cash
deposits of approximately $2.7 million as of April 30, 2023.
- Consistent with management’s
ongoing commitment to avoid equity dilution for its shareholders,
the Company has continued to monetize a portion of its BTC
production to fully fund its energy costs.
Operations Update
As a result of the Company’s recent site
acquisition in Q1 2023, Digihost’s consolidated operating capacity
across its three sites has increased to approximately 100MW,
representing approximately 2 EH of computing power. The Company
projects that total capacity will be fully deployed by the end Q2
2023. The plant will continue flexible operations to ensure that
24/7 dispatchable electrical supply is made available to upstate
New York area residents, businesses and industry to mitigate
impacts of power interruptions.
