market opportunity and expectations, the Company’s ability to scale
and grow its businesses, implement its business strategy, source
necessary electrical energy, the advantages and expected growth of

statements may include words such as “aim,” “estimate,” “plan,”
“project,” “forecast,” “goal,” “intend,” “will,” “expect,”
“anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target” or other similar
expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or
that are not statements of historical matters. All forward looking
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause
actual results to differ materially, including: our ability to earn
digital assets profitably and to attract customers for our current
and future expected hosting infrastructure; our ability to maintain
our competitive position in our businesses; our ability to raise
additional capital to continue our expansion efforts or other
operations; our need for significant electric power and the limited

critical systems, facilities or services we provide; the physical
risks and regulatory changes relating to climate change; potential
significant changes to the method of validating blockchain
transactions; our vulnerability to physical security breaches,
which could disrupt our operations; a potential slowdown in market

blockchain hosting market; the identification of material
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
that insufficient awards from digital asset mining could
disincentivize transaction processors from expending processing
power on a particular network, which could negatively impact the
utility of the network and further reduce the value of its digital
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
digital assets and digital asset intermediaries; increasing
scrutiny and changing expectations with respect to our ESG
