We are a Bitcoin mining company. We build, own and operate data center and electrical infrastructure for the mining of Bitcoin primarily powered by renewable energy. We target entry into regions where there are low-cost, abundant and attractive renewable energy sources. In January 2020, we acquired our first site in British Columbia, Canada (“BC”), from PodTech Innovation Inc. and certain of its related parties. This site is connected to the British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority (“BC Hydro”) electricity transmission network (69 kV grid-connection) on which the electricity, as of 2021, was 98% sourced from clean or renewable sources. The data center site, which has been operating since 2019, has approximately 30 MW of capacity and operating hashrate capacity of approximately 0.7 EH/s, as of October 1, 2021. In addition to our first site in BC, as of September 30, 2021, we have conditional and unconditional rights to a number of sites across BC, Texas (USA) and Asia-Pacific, over which we are currently pursuing development activities. These sites are anticipated to support our operating and contracted nameplate hashrate capacity of 15.2 EH/s, equating to approximately 530 MW of data center capacity when online and fully operational.
