DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (TSX-V: DMGI) (OTCQB: DMGGF)
(FRANKFURT: 6AX) (“DMG” or the “Company”), a vertically integrated
blockchain and data center technology company, announces it has
signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with an undisclosed
counterparty (“Counterparty”) to purchase the infrastructure for a
prefabricated 10-megawatt air-cooled data center (“PDC”) that meets
Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) specifications
(which is generally a military requirement) for its deployment of
Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) computation facilities.
DMG and Counterparty have agreed to work towards a definitive
agreement within the next 90 days, during which time DMG will
perform its due diligence as a follow-up to its already performed
initial inspection of the PDC at Counterparty’s site. DMG will
issue an additional news release related to the final structure and
terms of the potential transaction, and other material information
if and when it becomes available.
Upon execution of the definitive agreement, DMG
would pay Counterparty for the PDC US$5 million as an upfront
payment and the balance of the to-be-agreed-upon price based on
future DMG revenue resulting from Gen AI computing off-take
agreements as part of vendor financing being offered to DMG.
Revenue from off-take agreements may be derived from either GPUs
that DMG purchases or the colocation of customer-purchased GPUs.
DMG is currently focused on securing off-take agreements, which may
be sourced from entities that require SCIF requirements, such as
federal government agencies/departments, non-governmental entities
(potentially with enterprise SCIF requirements), Counterparty
and/or with other parties with whom the Company has a relationship
to develop Gen AI business opportunities, which may be outside of
Canada.
DMG intends to deploy the PDC at one or more
locations, as the PDC can be partitioned into smaller units due to
its modular nature. While the infrastructure forms the basis for a
Gen AI data center, it does not include medium-voltage power
distribution, battery storage or backup power generation, the
configuration and amount of which have yet to be determined.
Additionally, the PDC is not facilitated with computing, networking
nor storage systems, all of which will need to be installed to
realize revenue from off-take agreements.
DMG’s CEO Sheldon Bennett stated, “This MOU
catalyzes our entry into Generative AI in a very meaningful way.
Not only does the PDC shorten our time to deployment by at least a
year, but it also gives us the needed credibility as a new AI
entrant to secure off-take agreements in a timely manner. Given the
SCIF (military-grade) nature of the infrastructure, we will be
focused on off-take opportunities that prioritize this need, as we
believe we can garner a revenue premium for offering this
capability. This MOU also enables us to proceed with our Gen AI
strategy in a most-capital efficient manner, helping us to maximize
our return to shareholders.”

thereof or similar variations. The reader is cautioned that
assumptions used in the preparation of any forward-looking
information may prove to be incorrect. Events or circumstances may
cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted, as
a result of numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and
other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company,
including but not limited to, market and other conditions,
volatility in the trading price of the common shares of the
Company, business, economic and capital market conditions; the

achieve its plans, projections, or expectations. Such statements
and information are based on numerous assumptions regarding present
and future business strategies and the environment in which the

will be no regulation or law that will prevent the Company from
operating its business, anticipated costs, the ability to secure
sufficient capital to complete its business plans, the ability to
achieve goals and the price of bitcoin. Given these risks,
uncertainties, and assumptions, you should not place undue reliance
on these forward-looking statements. The securities of DMG are
