The CEO’s Message
Our second fiscal quarter of operations was the most active period to-date for DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. The
Company continues to build its presence both in Japan and North America thanks to its expanding mining operations and development
of blockchain analytics tools. Following our Q1 announcement of a Mining-as-a-Service (MaaS) agreement with the Bitmaster Financial
network in Japan, DMG received an order in excess of $3 million from Japanese based Forside Financial Service (“Forside”) for
mining hardware purchases and set-up.
The majority of DMG’s current revenues are derived from our MaaS business (hosting and management of Bitcoin
mining facilities on behalf of third parties globally), which uniquely insulates DMG from fluctuating Bitcoin spot price
volatility. During Q2, we purchased an additional 2,650 Bitmain S9 mining rigs to fill orders from our MaaS customers, servicing
them with approximately 4 megawatts of power. DMG’s flagship mining facility is 27,000 square feet of industrial space which can
host over 30,000 mining rigs. DMG is working with its energy utility partner to deliver over 150 megawatts of hydroelectric power
to multiple sites over the next 18 months.
DMG also completed its acquisition of Blockseer, developers of industry-leading crypto-analytics and artificial
intelligence (A.I.) software. Blockseer’s roadmap of analytics tools includes Bitscore, a risk-scoring tool for analyzing cryptocurrency
holdings, Graph Intelligence, which traces bitcoin flows through the blockchain, and Market Factors, a blockchain
data feed for market trading algorithms. Existing Blockseer clients include the US Department of Homeland Security, F.B.I., and
I.R.S.
The Company also announces it has issued a total of 125,000 stock options to an employee and an officer of the
Company at an exercise price of $0.80 with an expiry date of June 30, 2021.
