All monetary references are expressed in USD unless otherwise indicated.

Operational Update

Digihost is pleased to announce that planning is well under way at the Company’s new Alabama site (please refer to Digihost’s news releases dated June 14 and June 22, 2022) with mining operations projected to commence in Q4. Based upon power rates currently being negotiated by management with Alabama Power, Digihost projects its operational breakeven point will occur at a BTC price of approximately $12,000. The Company’s move to Alabama and the opening of a new head office in Houston, Texas earlier this year are milestones consistent with Digihost’s strategic plan to diversify jurisdictional risk.

Although Digihost’s operations are currently located in Buffalo and North Tonawanda the Company does not intend to open any new mining facilities in New York State (“NYS”). Due to the recent material rise in energy costs in NYS the Company anticipates curtailing operations during peak hours at current BTC prices. Additionally, Digihost will continue its practice of drawing less power from the grid when consumer demand periodically spikes as a result of hot weather conditions expected over the next several months.

In the current inflationary environment management has introduced additional internal control measures to ensure adherence to its aggressive cost control program. Zero-based budgeting has been implemented on a line-by-line base regardless of the expense category. This cost control program has already resulted in material savings.

Don Christie, Chief Operating Officer, commented, “We are pleased to report on our progress in diversifying our operations on a jurisdictional basis. We will continue this strategy as we constantly monitor changes in the political environment within which our industry operates. I would also like to thank our employees for supporting the implementation of our cost control program as we work our way through this challenging time for our industry and the economy as a whole. I am confident, that as a result of these cost savings and further actions we have taken to strengthen our balance sheet, Digihost will emerge from this inflationary period as a stronger more disciplined and profitable company”.
