vANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digihost Technology Inc. (“Digihost” or the “Company”) (TSXV: DGHI; Greys: HSSHD) is pleased to provide a corporate update following the completion of the reverse takeover transaction (the “RTO”), previously disclosed in the Company’s press release of February 14, 2020. Following completion of the RTO, the Company has realized its strategy to vertically integrate the Company’s operations with the hosting services previously provided to the Company through the colocation facilities agreements dated May 20, 2018 (the “Colocation Agreements”) and create a vertical operation.

Termination of the Colocation Agreements

Pursuant to the completion of the RTO, the Colocation Agreements, whereby the Company was paying a fee of US$0.10/kWh for the electricity used in its cryptocurrency operations, have been terminated and the Company has been released from its accrued liabilities owing under the Colocation Agreements. Following the vertical integration of the Company’s operations with the hosting infrastructure and equipment, lease agreement for a facility and a 115,000 KVA outdoor substation, and power contract for the supply of electricity to the facility, all acquired in connection with the RTO, the Company expects to be able to conduct its operations with electricity at an average cost of USD$0.038/kWh. Given the significant reduction in electricity costs and the current price of Bitcoin, the Company expects that it will be profitable this quarter.

Access to Capital

As previously disclosed in the Company’s press release of February 14, 2020, immediately prior to the completion of the RTO, the Company completed a concurrent financing for gross proceeds of C$5.4 million. As a result of the increased access to capital, the Company is looking into opportunities to acquire new Bitcoin miners with greater hash rates to expand its total computing power and operate more efficiently.

“The completion of the reverse takeover has provided a great opportunity for the re-structured Company to reduce its cost of mining and seek out new opportunities to acquire some of the latest miners to expand our capabilities,” said Michel Amar, CEO of Digihost. “New management of the Company is very excited by the opportunities in front of us and we look forward to working towards helping the Company reach its full potential. None of the directors, including myself, are receiving directors’ fees or salaries and we are dedicated to increasing the long-term value of the Company.”
