Operations Update
During April 2022, Digihost successfully completed electrical testing phases at the Company’s infrastructure buildout in North Tonawanda. The Company demonstrated the ability to sustain aggregate operating levels at approximately 1 EH/s while meeting all internal assessment qualifications. The testing was completed in an efficient manner by temporarily accessing power from the local electrical power grid.
As previously disclosed, the Company awaits approval from the New York Public Service Commission to complete the acquisition of this 60 MW power plant in North Tonawanda. The Company anticipates its hashing power will decrease in May 2022 until the acquisition is finalized, and in the interim, has submitted a request to the utility provider for a permanent allocation of power at the North Tonawanda location.
Operational Expansion
The Company has recently acquired, in escrow, 25 acres of land in North Carolina in conjunction with ongoing negotiations to access a 200MW power infrastructure program that would be expected to be completed and ready for operation by the end of Q3 2023.
Green Energy
A hallmark of Digihost’s strategic growth plan has been its accessing of clean sources of energy while also being agreeable to on-demand programs with utilities that allow the Company to provide urgent power needs for local communities during extreme weather conditions. The Company is pleased to report that during April 2022 while its BTC mining operation was running at over 1 EH/s, over 90% of the energy consumed by its operations was derived from sources that create zero carbon emissions.
At-the-Market Financing Update
On March 4, 2022, the Company entered into an offering agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC as agent, pursuant to which the Company established an at-the-market equity program (the “ATM Program”). From the commencement of the ATM Program through to the date hereof, the Company has not issued any securities pursuant to the ATM Program.
