Mawson Self-Mining and Hosting Co-location installed operational capacity at 3.5 Exahash as at the end of July, expected to rise to approximately 3.7 Exahash by end August 2022
Mawson produced 90 Self-Mined Bitcoin in July 2022, as the company participated in its Energy Demand Response Program over the month for which it will receive additional unaudited revenue estimated to be approximately $1.8M
Mawson now has approximately 44,000 ASIC Bitcoin Miners deployed at its facilities across its Self-Mining and Hosting Co-location businesses
Approximately 1039 Self-Mined Bitcoin produced in FY 2022 year to date
Atlanta, Georgia and Sydney, Australia — August 25, 2022 — Mawson Infrastructure Group Inc. (NASDAQ:MIGI) (“Mawson”), a digital infrastructure provider, announces unaudited Bitcoin production and operational update for July 2022.
Mawson Self-Mining and Hosting Co-location installed operational capacity at approximately 3.5 Exahash as at end of July, expected to rise to approximately 3.7 Exahash by end of August 2022.
Bitcoin Self-Mining Update:
| ● | In July Mawson produced 90 Bitcoin, as the company participated in its Energy Demand Response (“EDR”) Program, resulting in lower Bitcoin production as a result of participation in the energy curtailment program |
| ● | The EDR program generated an estimated $1.8M in unaudited revenue. $1.8M is equal to approximately 84 Bitcoin (assuming the July average Bitcoin price of $21,539) |
| ● | Mawson’s participation in its EDR program generated revenue, and in addition lowered overall costs of production |
| ● | July average hash rate at approximately 0.7 Exahash, with an installed operational capacity of 1.7 Exahash |
| ● | Mawson Self-Mining delivered and fully paid for operational capacity at approximately 2.3 Exahash, anticipated to be online in Q4, 20221 |
| 1 | Assumes all equipment deployed and 100% online, plus the construction of all contracted sites on time, actual results are likely to vary in a negative manner. Construction delays are common and it is rare for all equipment to be deployed and 100% online, however accurate historical downtime averages are difficult to calculate and also may not provide an accurate picture due to differences moving forward. Investors should consider all risk factors related to uptime when considering these figures, which are a best case scenario. The above information is for general information purposes only, and are forward looking statements which should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. Please see our Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 21, 2022, under the Sub-Heading Risks Relating to Our Business and Management for important risks related to our Self-Mining. |
Hosting Co-location Update:
| ● | Mawson Hosting Co-location installed capacity at 1.8 Exahash (equating to approximately 54 megawatts) as at end of July |
| ● | Hosting Co-location expected to rise to approximately 2.0 Exahash (64 megawatts) as at the end of August, as Mawson continues deployment |
| ● | Hosting Co-location continues to be a profitable business, with major hosting customer Celsius Mining LLC making a payment for July Hosting Co-location services in August as anticipated |
| ● | Mawson will continue its focus on Hosting Co-location services, as it provides an additional revenue stream for the company, paid in USD, in addition to Mawson’s Bitcoin Self-Mining revenue and Energy Demand Response Revenue. |
Energy Demand Response:
| ● | In response to movements in energy markets Mawson is actively engaging in Energy Demand Response Program at its operations, which involve curtailed uptime in exchange for energy demand response revenue and avoided energy costs. When energy prices are low, Mawson engages in Bitcoin Mining and generates revenue by selling Self-Mined Bitcoin daily, as it has from inception. When energy prices are high, and where available, Mawson engages in Energy Demand Response Programs, receiving revenue and reducing overall energy costs. |
| ● | In the month of July, Mawson generated unaudited revenue of approximately $1.8M from these activities. $1.8M is equal to approximately 84 Bitcoin (assuming the July average Bitcoin price of $21,539). |
Operational Update:
In July Mawson continued its operational deployments and continued its participation in its Energy Demand Response Program. Mawson now has over 44,000 ASIC Bitcoin Miners deployed at its facilities across its Self-Mining and Hosting Co-location businesses, which is anticipated to be operating at 5.3 Exahash by Q4, 2022.2
