Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Energization and deployment of approximately 11,298 additional Bitmain S21 XP ASIC miners at the Drumheller facility, adding roughly 3.05 EH/s to the active operational hashrate.
Expected impact: Pushed the company's total operational fleet to approximately 25.0 EH/s (and total owned capacity to 28.1 EH/s) across nearly 59,000 active machines, shifting focus toward optimizing output and lowering average production costs.
Integrating scaled, low-cost self-mining operations with disciplined, opportunistic open-market Bitcoin purchases to build a massive strategic reserve without selling mined rewards.
Expected impact: Aims to maximize 'Satoshis Per Share' (SPS) and compound long-term shareholder value by producing Bitcoin at costs significantly below spot prices (e.g., Q1 2026 cost of ~$36,200 per coin).
