Digihost Expands Bitcoin Mining Operations with 11,000 S21s Increasing Hashing Rate to 3.2 EH/s
June 11 2024 - 5:00AM
Digihost Technology Inc. (“
Digihost” or the
“
Company”) (Nasdaq / TSXV: DGHI), a cutting-edge
U.S.-based blockchain technology and computer infrastructure
company, is thrilled to announce it has entered into a
transformative profit-sharing agreement with a strategic partner.
This collaboration will harness the Company’s robust infrastructure
to accommodate new digital currency mining servers. All financial
references herein are in USD unless stated otherwise.
Under the executed agreement, Digihost will
integrate 11,000 state-of-the-art S21 miners (200/TH) (the
“S21 Miners”) into its facilities, translating to
approximately 44MW of hosting. This deal also includes a
profit-sharing component, whereby Digihost will receive 60% of the
daily Bitcoin mining rewards earned from the S21 Miners in exchange
for providing the agreed upon capacity and electrical
infrastructure support.
Alec Amar, President of Digihost, expressed,
“This agreement marks another milestone for Digihost, structured to
enable us to diversify our revenue streams, solidify our financial
standing and enhance our hashing capacity. Our goal is to scale our
computing power while staying debt-free, ultimately transitioning
our fleet to the latest generation of miners and achieving a
targeted hash rate of 5 EH/s by the end of 2024. Remarkably, we are
increasing our hash rate by nearly 50% without increasing our
energy consumption. Additionally, we are very excited to be
developing our first Tier 3 site for high-performance computing,
further expanding our technological capabilities. The Company will
be utilizing its existing infrastructure in this endeavor, which we
expect will provide cost efficiencies.”
The deployment of these next-generation,
energy-efficient miners will be completed phases, with an expected
hash rate increase of 1.2 EH/s, to a targeted total of 3.2 EH/s, by
the end of Q3 2024.
Sustainability Update
Luke Marchiori, the Company’s Chief
Sustainability Officer, stated, “The Company remains committed to
environmental stewardship as well as demonstrating real
decarbonization efforts in accordance with our DigiGreen
initiative. In addition to the 93% zero-emissions power that is
already physically supplied to our East Delevan Facility, in 2024
Digihost will be procuring Renewable Energy Certificates to offset
the additional 7%, to achieve 100% carbon-free energy. This is
in addition to the Company’s long-term commitment to be the anchor
subscriber to a 5MW community solar project in Angola, New York,
which is expected to go live this month. New York State has
some of the most ambitious renewable energy and GHG goals in the
country. The Company is excited to be operating in a state that has
such abundant zero carbon resources, while still offering reliable
and low-cost electricity.”
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 EH/s.
