Executive Commentary

Frank Holmes, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of HIVE, commented: "In May, we scaled at an exceptional pace-adding nearly 1 Exahash per week. This rapid growth demonstrates our operational strength and the effectiveness of our dual-engine model, which integrates rapid scaling high-efficiency Bitcoin mining with our Buzz HPC cloud division which is generating record cash flow. HIVE is at the forefront of building sustainable, high-performance digital infrastructure data centers. As fast as new ASIC miners arrive, we deploy them-often within six hours-turning hardware into cash flow with lightning speed and precision."

With our fleet targeting 18 EH/s this summer, we're on track to exceed 8 BTC per day. With 25 EH/s by Q4, we expect to produce over 12 BTC per day and lower our production cost to under $50,000 per Bitcoin, with Bitcoin difficulty at 127T and a target fleet efficiency of 17.5 J/TH.
