HOUSTON, April 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digihost Technology Inc. (“Digihost” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: DGHI; TSXV: DGHI), an innovative U.S. based blockchain technology and computer infrastructure company, is pleased to provide a summary of the Company’s audited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2023 (all amounts in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated), and a 2024 year-to-date update on operations.

Michel Amar, Chairman and CEO of Digihost, commented, “Despite a challenging 2023, the Company is very pleased to announce that is has reported an increase in revenue over the prior year as well as an increase in Adjusted EBITDA. 2023 was a transformative year for Digihost as we completed the acquisition of a 60 MW power plant in North Tonawanda, NY, and entered into agreements with established partners that enabled us to differentiate our revenue steams.”
Amar continued, “Looking forward to 2024, the Company is positioned to significantly increase its hashing power by the end of the year, with the goal of reaching approximately 6 EH. Digihost will continue to target locations and markets with low-cost, under-utilized renewable energy where the Company can help support local communities. The Company also expects to continue to expand its electrical infrastructure and data centers to provide operational control and security over its assets.”

The growth generated by Digihost during 2023 has continued into the first quarter of 2024. To date, operational achievements of the Company for 2024 are the following:
Operations Update
Presently, Digihost’s consolidated operating capacity across its three sites represents approximately 90MW of available power and is mining at hashrate of 2 EH/s.
Outlook
Digihost’s strategic growth plan is to continue to diversify its mining operation while accessing clean sources of energy. The Company plans to execute on this plan by expanding its current operational footprint in New York and Alabama and is working towards accessing power and building infrastructure in other locations by the end of 2024 that would lead to an increase in the Company’s hashing power by approximately 4EH.
