  • filed its Form 40-F with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, fulfilling a significant milestone for a listing on Nasdaq;
  • closed approximately $70 million in total equity financings during the first half of 2021;
  • acquired 9,900 BTC miners from Northern Data AG to increase Digihost’s hashrate by 925PH;
  • formed a strategic collaboration with Bit Digital USA, Inc. to increase the Company’s combined hashrates by 400PH;
  • announced industry leading green energy consumption with over 90% of the energy consumed by the Company originating from sources that create zero carbon emissions and more than 50% of the energy consumed by the Company generated from renewable sources;
  • announced the launch of the DigiGreen initiative to create sustainable, environmentally and economically sound in-house practices for BTC mining that will distinguish the Company as an industry leader in maintaining profitability, while lowering or eliminating its carbon footprint;
  • became a signatory to the Crypto Climate Accord, an initiative modeled on the Paris Climate Agreement, which aligns with the Company’s own DigiGreen initiative;
  • appointed a new Chief Renewable Energy Officer to oversee the management of the Company’s DigiGreen initiative;

Michel Amar, the Company’s CEO, stated: “We are extremely pleased to report the continued success achieved by Digihost during the second quarter of 2021. Having mined an additional 110 BTC during the second quarter, we have increased the balance of BTC and ETH held by the Company to a total 351.36 BTC and 563.89 ETH at the end of June, which is a testament to our efficient operations and highly skilled operations team. While there can be no guarantee of future market conditions, we are optimistic that our BTC output rate will increase considerably over the next several months as a result of the recent and significant reduction in mining difficulty rates, combined with the delivery and deployment of our recently acquired BTC miners. The significant milestones achieved during the second quarter of 2021 are an indication that as a company, we continue to explore every opportunity to expand our BTC mining operations through the acquisition of new miners, vertical integration, improved operational efficiencies, and ensuring that the Company is always in a position to attract the financial resources to achieve these goals.”
