Exhibit 99.1
Gryphon Digital Mining Expands Bitcoin Mining Fleet by 22% and Evaluates Creation of a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Designed to Strengthen Balance Sheet
Las Vegas, NV — January 27, 2025 – Gryphon Digital Mining, Inc. (Nasdaq: GRYP) (“Gryphon” or the “Company”), an innovative venture in the bitcoin and AI space dedicated to helping bring digital assets to the market, today announced the acquisition of 1,900 S19JPro series machines with an extended warranty from RepairBit LLC (“RepairBit”) at a 20% discount to market rates provided by Hashrate Index.
This purchase will increase Gryphon’s mining fleet by approximately 22%, from 8,500 to 10,400 machines, strengthening the company’s position in the bitcoin mining sector.
“This acquisition perfectly exemplifies our strategic approach – bold when transformative opportunities arrive, as with our power agreements with Wildboy and Captus, and scrappy when acquiring equipment and deploying capital,” said Steve Gutterman, CEO of Gryphon Digital Mining. “Our developing relationship with RepairBit has enabled us to secure these machines at excellent, below-market prices.”
Gryphon is also analyzing the creation of a strategic bitcoin reserve that could strengthen the Company’s Balance Sheet. Said Gutterman, “We are dedicated to advancing our core strategic initiatives by building out our power assets. We believe that adding Bitcoin to our balance sheet, if done deliberatively and with the correct structure, could assist in that. We expect to make further announcements as we complete our evaluation.”
