04 Marzo 2024 - 5:00AM
Digihost Technology Inc. (“
Digihost” or the
“
Company”) (Nasdaq: DGHI; 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 February 29, 2024, 2024, combined with an operations update.
All monetary references are expressed in USD unless otherwise
indicated.
Monthly Production Highlights for
February 2024
- The Company held cash, BTC and cash
deposits of approximately $3.9 million as of February 29, 2024
(based on a BTC price of $61,198 as of February 29, 2024 per
CoinMarketCap), an increase compared to Digihost’s cash, BTC and
cash deposits of $3.7 million as of January 31, 2024 (based on a
BTC price of $42,583 as of January 31, 2024 per
CoinMarketCap).
- Mined approximately 95 BTC. Daily
BTC mined during the month decreased by 11% compared to January
2024, as overall BTC difficulty increased by approximately 16%
during the month due to the surge of prices of certain
cryptocurrencies during the month of February. Despite the increase
in mining difficulty, the Company’s ending BTC position increased
over the previous month by approximately $0.3 million.
- On a year-over-year basis, the
Company increased its daily BTC mined by 45% compared to February
2023.
- Spent approximately $1.3 million on
capital expenditures, mining infrastructure support equipment,
energy credits and collateral deposits, an increase of 333% over
January 2024. Digihost continues to monitor its capital
expenditures closely with 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.
Michel Amar, CEO of Digihost, stated: “We are
excited to be in a position to capitalize on the surging BTC
market, as our company has the mining infrastructure in place to be
able to rapidly expand, if necessary, in order to optimize our
resources in an environmentally conscious manner and continue to
provide value to our shareholders.”
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 EH/s.

depreciating Bitcoin prices on working capital; regulatory and
other unanticipated issues that prohibit us from declaring or
paying dividends to our shareholders that are payable in Bitcoin;
continued effects of the COVID19 pandemic may have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s performance as supply chains are
disrupted and prevent the Company from operating its assets;
development of additional facilities and installation of
infrastructure to expand operations may not be completed on the
timelines anticipated by the Company, or at all; ability to access
additional power from the local power grid; a decrease in
cryptocurrency pricing, volume of transaction activity or
generally, the profitability of cryptocurrency mining; further
improvements to profitability and efficiency may not be realized;
the digital currency market; the Company’s ability to successfully
mine digital currency on the cloud; the Company may not be able to
profitably liquidate its current digital currency inventory, or at
all; a decline in digital currency prices may have a significant
negative impact on the Company’s operations; the volatility of

profitable use of the Company’s assets going forward; the Company’s
ability to profitably liquidate its digital currency inventory as
required; historical prices of digital currencies and the ability
of the Company to mine digital currencies on the cloud will be
consistent with historical prices; the ability to maintain reliable
and economical sources of power to run its cryptocurrency mining
assets; the negative impact of regulatory changes in the energy
regimes in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates; the
ability to adhere to Digihost’s dividend policy and the timing and
quantum of dividends based on, among other things, the Company’s
operating results, cash flow and financial condition, Digihost’s
current and anticipated capital requirements, and general business
conditions; and there will be no regulation or law that will
prevent the Company from operating its business. The Company has
also assumed that no significant events occur outside of the
Company's normal course of business. Although the Company believes
