AgriFORCE Growing Systems Secures Acquisition of Bitcoin Mining Facility in Columbiana County, Ohio
January 23 2025 - 9:15AM
AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: AGRI), a leading
technology-driven innovator, is pleased to announce the acquisition
of a state-of-the-art 5 MW bitcoin mining facility located in
Columbiana County, Ohio. Purchased for $4.5 million in cash, this
acquisition is a pivotal step in AgriFORCE’s commitment to
integrating sustainable energy solutions, advanced data operations,
and innovative agricultural initiatives to create long-term value
for shareholders.
Strategic Opportunity with Scalable Growth
Potential
Powered by 5 MW of natural gas energy, the
facility is currently operational with over 900 bitcoin mining
units and has the capacity to scale up to 1,200 units. Utilizing
energy derived from flare natural gas, the facility not only
generates consistent revenue but also minimizes its environmental
footprint. Plans are in place to enhance operations by repurposing
waste heat and implementing carbon capture technology, enabling
diversified revenue streams through sustainable agricultural
practices, such as premium crop cultivation and aquaculture
systems.
Driving Efficiency and Sustainability
David Welch, Chairman of AgriFORCE, underscored
the strategic advantages of the acquisition:
"This facility is a testament to our ability to
execute on a scalable business model that delivers dual
benefits—sustained revenue from cryptocurrency mining and
operational cost efficiency from agricultural integration. By
combining advanced cryptocurrency applications with our
groundbreaking agricultural solutions, we are poised to deliver
exponential value to our investors while contributing to a
sustainable and forward-looking economy. The convergence of
memecoin frenzy, regulatory reform, and energy innovation opens
unparalleled avenues for growth, and AgriFORCE is ready to lead the
charge in this transformative era."
A Vision for Growth and Innovation
Jolie Kahn, CEO of AgriFORCE, highlighted the
facility’s transformational potential:
"This acquisition reinforces our leadership in
blending advanced technology, environmental sustainability, and
agriculture. By utilizing waste energy from natural gas
flare-powered generators, the facility represents an innovative
approach to reducing environmental impact while driving financial
growth through bitcoin mining and integrated agricultural
solutions, such as microgreens and aquaculture. It’s a replicable
model that optimizes both resource efficiency and profitability,
setting a new benchmark for sustainable industry practices."
Kahn added, “As Bitcoin surges to unprecedented
all-time highs, fueled by President Trump’s transformation into a
crypto advocate and the meteoric rise of $TRUMP coin, we are
witnessing what we believe is a pivotal moment in the evolution of
digital assets. With the administration’s promise to position the
United States as the ‘crypto capital of the planet,’ reduce
regulatory barriers, and promote widespread adoption, the crypto
market is on the cusp of mainstream integration. At AgriFORCE, we
see this as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to align innovative
blockchain technologies with our mission of sustainable
development.”
Financing Initiatives
As previously disclosed, the Company has also
closed on the first tranche of an up to $50 million financing
facility with institutional investors. The Company utilized a
portion of the first $7 million tranche to pay for the acquisition
of the assets. The Company is grateful to its investors for the
confidence placed in its ability to execute its business plan with
the closing of the third acquisition in six months, which as with
the Redwater acquisition is providing immediately cash flow to the
Company.
