Digihost Provides September 2024 Production Update and Tier 3 Data Center Initiative
October 01 2024 - 6:00AM
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
September 30, 2024, combined with an operations update. All
monetary references are expressed in USD unless otherwise
indicated.
Monthly Production Highlights for
September 2024
The Company held cash, BTC and cash deposits of
approximately $9.2 million as of September 30, 2024 (based on a BTC
price of $63,900 as of August 31, 2024 per CoinMarketCap), as
compared to $10.4 million as of August 31, 2024 (based on a BTC
price of $58,970 as of August 31, 2024 per CoinMarketCap).
- Between self-mining and hosting
agreements, miners at the Company’s facilities produced
approximately 35 BTC during the month of September. The decrease in
BTC produced as compared to the prior month’s production was due to
a temporary outage at Digihost’s power plant located in North
Tonawanda for turbine repair and maintenance. The Company
anticipates an increase in mining efficiencies, greater asset
longevity and a reduction of downtime in the future at that
facility as a result of the completed maintenance.
- Officers and directors of the
Company entered agreements to acquire 685,038 subordinate voting
shares of the Company in private transactions.
- The Company spent approximately
$0.3 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 when commercially viable.
Tier 3
The Company is in the process of building its
initial Tier 3 data center with a target completion date at the end
of 2025 or Q1 2026.
Alec Amar, President of Digihost, commented, “We
are excited to announce the launch of a new strategic initiative of
the Company focused on developing Tier 3 infrastructure. By
utilizing the high-voltage assets from our current operations, we
expect to significantly lower development costs and shorten the
time to bring this infrastructure to market, driving innovation and
growth in high-performance computing.”
Purchase of shares
The Company is pleased to announce that Michel
Amar, director and Chief Executive Officer of Digihost, and Alec
Amar, director and President of Digihost, entered into share
purchase agreements with a seller to acquire 150,000 and 535,038
subordinate voting shares of the Company, respectively, increasing
their personal holdings of Digihost. The shares are being acquired
by way of a private transaction at a price of $1.18 per share
pursuant to share purchase agreements, and closing remains subject
to the fulfillment of certain conditions.
Operations Update

capacity across its three sites represents approximately 90MW of
available power, and Digihost is mining at a hashrate of 2.75
EH/s.
