Digihost Provides May 2024 Production Update and Operations Update
May 31 2024 - 6:00AM
Digihost Technology Inc. (“
Digihost” or the
“
Company”) (Nasdaq / 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 May
31, 2024, combined with an operations update. All monetary
references are expressed in USD unless otherwise indicated.
Monthly Production Highlights for May
2024
- The Company held cash, BTC and cash
deposits of approximately $6.0 million as of May 30, 2024 (based on
a BTC price of $68,500 as of May 30, 2024 per CoinMarketCap), as
compared to $6.7 million as of April 30, 2024 (based on a BTC price
of $60,970 as of April 30, 2024 per CoinMarketCap).
- Between self-mining and hosting
agreements, miners at the Company’s facilities produced
approximately 50 BTC during the month of May, as the full impact of
the Bitcoin halving event that occurred during the month of April,
which reduced the rewards available for mining, were experienced
this month.
- Spent approximately $2.2 million on
capital expenditures, mining infrastructure support equipment and
deposits. Digihost continues to monitor its capital expenditures
closely with self-funding to limit equity dilution for its
shareholders.
- Consistent with management’s
ongoing commitment to minimize equity dilution for its
shareholders, the Company has continued to monetize a portion of
its BTC production to fully fund its energy costs.
NASDAQ Notification
On May 24, 2024, the Company received a notice
(the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC
(“Nasdaq”) indicating that, as a result of not
having timely filed its Annual Report on Form 20-F (the
“Form 20-F”) for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2023 (“Fiscal Year 2023”), the Company is not
in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires
timely filing of all required periodic reports with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company does not expect that the Notice will
have any immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s
securities, which are expected to continue to trade on Nasdaq,
subject to the Company’s compliance with the other continued
listing requirements of Nasdaq. Under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the
Company has 60 calendar days from the date of the Notice to submit
a plan of compliance to Nasdaq. If Nasdaq accepts the plan, Nasdaq
can grant the Company an exception of up to 180 calendar days from
the original due date of the Form 20-F to regain compliance.
However, there can be no assurance that Nasdaq will accept the
Company’s plan to regain compliance or that the Company will be
able to regain compliance within any extension period granted by
Nasdaq. If the Company fails to timely regain compliance with the
Nasdaq Listing Rules, the securities of the Company may be subject
to delisting from Nasdaq.
The Company was unable to file its Form 20-F for
Fiscal Year 2023 prior to the deadline therefor because the
Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (the
“Auditor”) is continuing its work to complete an
audit under the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) of the Company’s
financial statements to be included in the Form 20-F following the
Company’s request therefor. The Company expects to file the Form
20-F as promptly as practicable following the completion of the
Auditor’s PCAOB audit of the Company’s financial statements for
inclusion in the Form 20-F and delivery of the Auditor’s report
with respect thereto.
Operations Update
Presently, Digihost’s consolidated operating
capacity across its three sites represents approximately 90MW of
available power and is mining at hashrate of 2 EH/s.
