VANCOUVER -- April 25, 2018 -- InvestorsHub
NewsWire -- HashChain Technology
Inc. (“HashChain” or the
"Company") (TSXV: KASH; OTCQB: HSSHF)
announced today that the Company has entered
into a binding letter agreement (the "Binding
Agreement") to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of a
company (“Target”) in consideration for the
issuance of 55 million HashChain shares at a deemed price of $0.35
per share (the “HashChain Shares”) equivalent to
$19.25 million.
The
Purchase Price will be allocated as follows:
- 5,000 new S9 Antminer Rigs
(“Rigs”) at $1,500 CDN per Rig equals
$7,500,000;
- 7.5
Megawatts (“MW”) installed for $700,000 per MW
equals $5,250,000;
- 5
year commitment from existing Target management at $300,000 per
year equals $1,500,000;
- 15
MW facility commitment for 4 years equals $2,000,000;
and
- Goodwill equals $3,000,000
The
HashChain Shares will be subject to escrow and will be released as
follows:
- 22,000,000 on the closing date of the
acquisition (the “Closing
Date”);
- 11,250,000 on installation of the 5,000 Rigs in
the facility the Target currently has an agreement
with;
- 5,250,000 in 90 days from the Closing Date;
and
- 16,500,000 in 120 days from the Closing
Date
The
acquisition is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange
and due diligence by HashChain.
The
Company expects the additional 5,000 rigs will be fully operational
by the end of June 2018. This will be added to the 4,870 rigs that
HashChain has already purchased and committed pending its recent
announcement of the acquisition of a company with 1,000 Rigs,
bringing total rigs to 9,870, which is the equivalent of
approximately 15 megawatts.
Based on
770 Rigs currently operating, the Company mined 27.92 Bitcoins in
38 days of operations, equivalent of .735 Bitcoin per day and has
not exchanged any Bitcoin into Fiat to date. According
to coinmarketcap.com on April 25, 2018,
Bitcoin was valued at CAD $11,737. The mined value of Bitcoin at
that price equates to CAD $327,697 over 38 days for the Company
which is the equivalent of CDN $11.20 per day per
Rig.
HashChain notes there are material costs
associated with mining and it will need to complete its next
quarterly financial statements to have complete details on
such costs. The Company will report full details on its costs
associated with mining in its financial statements. At this
time the Company has not converted the Bitcoin and Dash into fiat
currency.
"HashChain continues to fulfill our commitment
to investors with fast-scaling cryptocurrency mining operations in
ideal low-cost data centres, even as we continue to grow our
business in other areas of the blockchain market," says Patrick
Gray, CEO and founder of HashChain. "In under a month, the Company
has increased our Rig count by 6,000 and we will continue to build
on this momentum and increase the revenue stream from our core
mining business.”
