July Mining Update (unaudited)

In July, extreme weather and storms affected our Mining Center One, leading to several power distribution outages. Additionally, the mining difficulty increased by 3.3% from June to July. These factors combined to result in a 1.33% reduction in BTC produced per EH/s compared to the previous month.

Key Highlights of the Transition to 100% Self-Mining through Miner Acquisitions

• 4,419 new generation miners acquired and already plugged-in on site;
• One of the lowest renewable energy cost at approximately USD$0.0288/kWh (equivalent CAD$0.03830). The Company also pays monthly demand charge of CAD$13.63 per kilowatt, on its Contracted Reserve. The total energy cost aggregates to USD 0.043 per kWh.
• Average asset book value per running PH (excluding cash on hand and digital assets hodl) of US$32,850⁽¹⁾

“We transitioned to a 100% self-mining model, boasting one of the industry’s best book values for operating our mining power.
