Operational Update
Digihost is pleased to announce that planning is well under way at the Company’s new Alabama site (please refer to Digihost’s news releases dated June 14 and June 22, 2022) with mining operations projected to commence in Q4. Based upon power rates currently being negotiated by management with Alabama Power, Digihost projects its operational breakeven point will occur at a BTC price of approximately $12,000. The Company’s move to Alabama and the opening of a new head office in Houston, Texas earlier this year are milestones consistent with Digihost’s strategic plan to diversify jurisdictional risk.
Although Digihost’s operations are currently located in Buffalo and North Tonawanda the Company does not intend to open any new mining facilities in New York State (“NYS”). Due to the recent material rise in energy costs in NYS the Company anticipates curtailing operations during peak hours at current BTC prices. Additionally, Digihost will continue its practice of drawing less power from the grid when consumer demand periodically spikes as a result of hot weather conditions expected over the next several months.
