Management Commentary

Michel Amar, the Company’s CEO, stated: “We are extremely pleased with the continued success achieved by Digihost and are proud to report that in Q3 2021 we successfully mined a higher fair market value of Bitcoin than in any previous quarter since the Company’s inception. Our operations delivered a record number of coins this quarter despite voluntarily giving up peak hours of mining for five days during the month of August during peak community energy demand.” Amar continued, “As a Company, we are prepared to begin receiving a large quantity of new generation miners in Q4 2021. We remain especially well situated to scale up and thrive in the current mining environment and to increase our hashrate to up to 1.5 EH in by Q1 2022. We are committed to operating our business growth in an environmentally conscious way and our priority is to sustain our focus on green energy and ESG initiatives.”
