Corporate Highlights for April 2023

• In April 2023, the Company earned 86.1 bitcoins, a 28% decrease compared to the prior month. The decrease in production was primarily driven by the relocation of approximately 6,500 mining units from facilities previously operated by Compute North to different hosting sites that commenced during the month, and to a lesser extent, an increase in the bitcoin network difficulty.

• The BTC equivalent^[1] of our digital asset holdings as of April 30, 2023 (defined as if all ETH, sETH-H, LsETH and USDC holdings were converted into BTC as of that date and added to our BTC holdings) was approximately 1,558.3, or approximately $45.5 million.
• The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $21.9 million as of April 30, 2023.
• As of April 30, 2023, the Company held approximately $6.2 million in USDC, up from approximately $0.5 million of March 31, 2023.
