September 04 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
August 31, 2024, combined with an operations update. All monetary
references are expressed in USD unless otherwise indicated.
Monthly Production Highlights for August
2024
- The Company held cash, BTC and cash
deposits of approximately $10.4 million as of August 31, 2024
(based on a BTC price of $58,970 as of August 31, 2024 per
CoinMarketCap), as compared to $6.9 million as of July 31, 2024
(based on a BTC price of $65,100 as of July 31, 2024 per
CoinMarketCap).
- Between self-mining and hosting
agreements, miners at the Company’s facilities produced
approximately 55 BTC during the month of August, representing an
increase of approximately 30% as compared to July 2024.
- As previously disclosed in its news
release of June 11, 2024, Digihost entered into a new agreement
pursuant to which the Company will integrate 11,000
state-of-the-art S21 miners (200/TH) (the “S21
Miners”) into its facilities, translating to approximately
44MW of shared revenues. The deployment of those next-generation,
energy-efficient miners has commenced and will be completed in
phases, and the Company is targeting to be at a total of 3.2 EH/s
by the end of September 2024.
- The Company spent approximately
$0.8 million on capital expenditures, mining infrastructure support
equipment, and deposits. Digihost continues to monitor its capital
expenditures closely, using self-funding to limit equity dilution
for its shareholders when viable.
Financing
In August, the Company closed its previously
announced private placement of its equity securities (the
“Private Placement”). The Private Placement was
for gross proceeds of US$4 million and consisted of the sale of
3,636,363 units of the Company (“Units”) at a
purchase price of US$1.10 per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of one
subordinate voting share of the Company (a
“Share”) and one warrant (a
“Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder
to purchase one additional Share. The Warrants have an exercise
price of US$2.00 per Share and an exercise period of three years
from February 15, 2025.
Operations Update
Presently, Digihost’s consolidated operating
capacity across its three sites represents approximately 90MW of
available power, and Digihost is mining at hashrate of 2.75 EH/s.
The Company is currently exploring opportunities to build its
initial Tier 3 data center with a target completion date of end of
2025.
