HOUSTON, Aug. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digihost Technology Inc. (“Digihost” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq / TSXV: DGHI), an innovative U.S. based blockchain technology and computer infrastructure company, is pleased to provide unaudited comparative Bitcoin (“BTC”) production results for the month ended July 31, 2024, combined with an operations update. All monetary references are expressed in USD unless otherwise indicated.
Monthly Production Highlights for July 2024
- The Company held cash, BTC and cash deposits of approximately $6.9 million as of July 31, 2024 (based on a BTC price of $65,100 as of July 31, 2024 per CoinMarketCap), as compared to $7.1 million as of June 30, 2024 (based on a BTC price of $62,678 as of June 30, 2024 per CoinMarketCap).
- Between self-mining and hosting agreements, miners at the Company’s facilities produced approximately 42 BTC during the month of July.
- As previously disclosed, Digihost entered into a new agreement in which the Company will be integrating 11,000 state-of-the-art S21 miners (200/TH) (the “S21 Miners”) into its facilities, translating to approximately 44MW of shared revenues. The deployment of these next-generation, energy-efficient miners has commenced and will be completed in phases. After July’s installations of S21 Miners, Digihost’s hash rate has increased to 2.75 EH/s and the Company is targeting to be at a total of 3.2 EH/s by the end of August 2024.
- The Company spent approximately $0.8 million on capital expenditures, mining infrastructure support equipment, and deposits. Digihost continues to monitor its capital expenditures closely, using self-funding to limit equity dilution for its shareholders.
- Consistent with management’s ongoing commitment to minimize equity dilution for its shareholders, the Company has continued to monetize a portion of its BTC production to fully fund its energy costs.
Operations Update
Presently, Digihost’s consolidated operating capacity across its three sites represents approximately 90MW of available power and is mining at hashrate of 2.75 EH/s.
