The Bitmain S17+ miners are scheduled for delivery in early April and will be deployed immediately.
The addition of the 700 Bitmain S17+ miners, based on the current price of Bitcoin and level of mining difficulty, would increase Digihost’s monthly mined BTC by approximately 9 BTC, which would translate to an additional US$400,000 of operating profit per month.
The new miners will be installed at Digihost’s existing mining facility in Upstate New York.
Michel Amar, the Company’s CEO, stated,
“We continue to aggressively pursue every new opportunity that aligns with our goal to expand operations through the strategic acquisition of Bitcoin miners and low-cost sources of clean energy.”
“We are excited to implement our plan to utilize the expanded 3EH hashing capacity from our recently announced acquisition of a 60MW power plant, where it is expected that the Company’s energy cost would be further reduced by up to 40 per cent,” added Amar.
The total purchase price of US$4,025,000 will be comprised of cash consideration of US$2.975 million and issuance to the vendor of 533,781 common shares of Digihost with a deemed value of US$1,050,000.
