HIVE Announces Transformative Acquisition of 8.6 EH/s of Bitmain S21+ Hydro Chips, Projecting 15 EH/s by Summer 2025, Driving $300 Million Revenue and 2% of Global Bitcoin Mining Network
This news release constitutes a "designated news release" for the purposes of the Company's prospectus supplement dated October 3, 2024 to its short form base shelf prospectus dated September 11, 2024.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 3, 2024) - HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. (TSXV: HIVE) (NASDAQ: HIVE) (FSE: YO0) (referred to as the "Company" or "HIVE"), a global leader in sustainable blockchain infrastructure, is thrilled to announce a transformative step forward with the acquisition of 8.6 EH/s of Bitmain S21+ Hydros. This purchase will increase HIVE's Bitcoin mining hashrate to 15 EH/s of high-margin, self-mining capacity by summer 2025. These state-of-the-art miners deliver an industry-leading efficiency of 15 J/TH and 319 TH/s per unit, which will be powered by HIVE's green energy infrastructure in Paraguay (all amounts in US dollars, unless otherwise indicated).
Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman of HIVE, stated: "Once fully deployed, our strategic expansion to 15 EH/s will propel HIVE to over $300 million in annualized revenue and deliver more than $200 million in mining margin, based on current mining economics. At 2% of the Bitcoin network's total hashrate, we expect to produce approximately 9 Bitcoin per day at the current difficulty level, supporting HIVE's clear vision for scaling our operations while sourcing green hydro energy and driving significant value for shareholders."
Order Summary
HIVE's initial order comprises 13,480 units, representing 4.3 EH/s of hashrate capacity, scheduled for delivery in April and May 2025. This acquisition was secured at an exceptionally competitive price of $14/TH.
Additionally, the Company has a call option to purchase an additional 13,480 units within one year, bringing the potential total order to 26,960 units, or 8.6 EH/s of cutting-edge mining capacity.
By Q1 2025, HIVE will achieve a hashrate of 6.4 EH/s following the internal upgrades of its existing 30 J/TH fleet and the installation of 11,500 Canaan Avalon units. These upgrades will elevate the Company's global mining efficiency to 19.5 J/TH. Upon full execution and installation of the Bitmain order, HIVE will reach 15 EH/s of global hashrate capacity, with a blended fleet efficiency of 17 J/TH.
Optimized Mining Economics
HIVE's CEO and President, Aydin Kilic, commented: "Our primary focus is delivering exceptional ROI for our shareholders. This strategic purchase and deployment of highly efficient 15 J/TH miners in Paraguay will significantly enhance our profitability and substantially lower our Bitcoin mining break-even point at current difficulty levels."
Mr. Kilic continued, "With this deployment, we project an ROI of approximately 10 months, taking into account current hashrate economics of $60/PH per day after accounting for electrical and direct operating costs. This positions HIVE for strong profitability and sustainable long-term growth."
Field Research and Regional Efficiency
Comprehensive field analysis confirms that hydro ASIC miners perform exceptionally well in Paraguay's environmental conditions of heat and humidity. Bitmain's innovative hydro cooling technology has demonstrated strong reliability while reducing capital expenditure per megawatt of new infrastructure development. This strengthens the ROI of HIVE's green-energy-powered mining initiatives in Paraguay.

- Bitcoin Valuation: HIVE's Bitcoin holdings were valued at over $261 million as of November 30, 2024, based on a BTC closing price of approximately $96,400.
Strategic Developments:
In November, HIVE announced a significant upgrade to its mining fleet by purchasing 11,500 state-of- the-art Avalon ASIC miners from Canaan Inc. The Company has also acquired 8.6 EH/s of Bitmain's S21+ Hydro machines, aiming for a total Bitcoin mining capacity of 15 EH/s by summer 2025. This purchase is fully funded through the company's at-the-market equity program, highlighting HIVE's commitment to scaling its operations while maintaining industry-leading low G&A and ensuring the best return on investment for its shareholders.
Once fully deployed, this strategic expansion is expected to generate over $300 million in annual revenue and deliver more than $200 million in mining margin, based on current mining economics.
Executive Commentary:
Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman of HIVE, stated, "November has been a monumental month for HIVE, marking a significant step in our journey to capture 2% of the global Bitcoin network. This expansion underscores our team's commitment to efficient, eco-conscious operations and positions us strongly for sustainable long-term growth while maximizing cash flow return on invested capital."
Aydin Kilic, HIVE's President and CEO, added: "We are extremely proud of the advancements made over the past month and remain focused on having the best unit economics in the Bitcoin mining industry. We expect to reach 15 EH/s of global hashrate capacity with a blended fleet efficiency of 17 J/TH upon full execution and installation our Canaan and Bitmain orders."
Mr. Kilic continued: "These strategic orders position HIVE with one of the most efficient Bitcoin ASIC mining fleets in the industry, significantly reducing our Bitcoin production costs and increasing our operating margin. They demonstrate our commitment to delivering outstanding shareholder value and return on investment from our growth capital."
