DMG Announces Preliminary Q1 2021-2 Revenue Guidance of $13.5 – $14 Million
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (TSX-V: DMGI) (OTCQB US: DMGGF) (FRANKFURT: 6AX) (“DMG” or the “Company”), a vertically integrated blockchain and cryptocurrency technology company, has released select preliminary revenue guidance for the three-month period ending Dec. 31, 2021 (first quarter). All financial information in this press release is unaudited and reported in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.
With the receipt of additional crypto miners throughout Q1, DMG’s mining capacity increased resulting in expected consolidated revenue for Q1 2021-2 to be in the range of $13.5-14 million, compared with $3.5 – $4 million in Q4 2021, an approximately 260% increase quarter over quarter.
The Company expects to file its interim financial statements and accompanying management’s discussion and analysis for the three-month period ended December 30, 2021 during the month of March 2022.
Core Operations
DMG’s coin production for Q1’s mining operations are estimated to be 175-180 BTC, depending on network difficulty and overall mining hashrate, a significant gain of just over 260% from Q4’s production numbers of 47 – 50 BTC. As well, the Company estimates an average hashrate ending Q1 of approximately 410 Ph/s compared to the end of Q4’s hashrate of 280 Ph/s, which is a 46% gain.
As previously reported, DMG has ordered 7,850 S19j Pros and 1,800 S19 XPs Bitcoin miners from Bitmain for a total hashrate of 1,037 PH/s. Currently DMG is operating an average of 510 PH/s and has received approximately 50% of its hashrate orders.
Core+ Operations
DMG’s previously announced Core+ strategy continues to take shape. Its pool services for MaraPool found 194 blocks by the end of Dec 2021 from its start in early Q1. As well, DMG has started beta testing Terrapool through Q1 which has found 15 blocks so far in testing, all with renewable energy.
“This is an important quarter for DMG as it marks the first where the company is deriving significant revenue from its investment in self mining and a new fleet of crypto mining equipment. Our strategy to move from a primarily hosting focused company to greater focus on self-crypto mining is progressing well with approximately 50% of our purchased exahash in place and running now. Along with our Core strategy gains, our Core+ team has made significant progress in software platforms over Q1. Our pooling software is continuing to find blocks in line with expected luck and we are continuing to work on other platforms to help diversify DMG’s revenue,” comments Sheldon Bennett, DMG’s Chief Executive Officer.
