Miami, Florida--(Newsfile Corp. - March 29, 2021) - Miami-based United American Corp (OTC Pink: UAMA) ("UnitedCorp") announced today 2019 year-end financial results and provided an initial corporate update for 2019 and 2020. Year-end 2020 results will be released on April 5, 2021, as well as management's plans for the future of the company.
The Company also announced that primary Heat Station Dome operations were resumed on February 12th of this year after suspending them in May 2020 due to poor market conditions. With the resurgence in prices and with more institutional recommendations that cryptocurrency be included in investment portfolios as well as the mainstreaming of currencies such as Bitcoin by companies like Tesla, the Company believes that the time is right to re-enter the mining sphere. The Company is also encouraged by an overall push to more green mining initiatives such as Jack Dorsey's announcement that Square has created a fund to support companies driving the adoption of renewables in their mining activities.
"It was important for UnitedCorp to wait until there were sufficient signs of market stability before deciding to re-start operations," stated UAMA Vice President, Lawry Trevor-Deutsch. "We are now of the belief that the cryptocurrency market has been well tested and that its long-term importance as a financial instrument looks very promising. We also believe that the pandemic has emphasized the need for a higher level of local food security and we will renew our efforts in using the heat generated from operations to supply greenhouses that can operate year-round. Our goal has always been to go beyond simply being carbon neutral and towards a completely green closed-system which reuses its energy as much as possible."
Operations are currently at approximately 6 megawatts of the site's 8.4-megawatt capacity. The Company also intends to complete its 2018 and 2019 financial audits as well as commencing the audit for 2020. It will also begin to assess options to upgrade its servers to allow for more efficient mining.

About the BlockchainDome
The UnitedCorp BlockchainDome was designed to provide heat for agricultural operations using ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit chip) mining operations where efficiency and low-cost operations are a priority. The BlockchainDomes, which utilize a proprietary passive cooling ground-coupled heat-exchanger technology, are particularly suited for situations where rapid cluster deployment is required as they can be erected and commissioned in a matter of weeks rather than up to a year using the traditional "Bricks and Mortar" approach. BlockchainDomes can be configured in a wide range of sizes to service any type of greenhouse operation.
