AgriFORCE installs test miners at new Alberta site for expansion

VANCOUVER/OYEN - AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ:AGRI), currently trading at $0.76 and showing concerning financial metrics according to InvestingPro data, announced Wednesday it has successfully installed and commissioned mining equipment at its future Oyen, Alberta site for load testing purposes.

The installation represents progress in the company’s Power & Compute Initiative, following its first decentralized site launch in Berwyn, Alberta. The Oyen location is part of a binding Letter of Intent with BlueFlare Energy Solutions Inc. and is one of two new Alberta sites identified for expansion.

According to the company, the miners will test optimal performance and integration with AgriFORCE’s modular, natural gas-powered compute infrastructure. Full operation of the site will require additional steps including completion of miner acquisitions.

"The commissioning of miners at our Oyen site underscores our commitment to expanding our decentralized computing capabilities," said Jolie Kahn, CEO of AgriFORCE. "By utilizing underused natural gas resources, we not only enhance our operational efficiency but also contribute to our Bitcoin treasury through self-mined BTC."

The development aligns with the company’s strategy focused on Bitcoin treasury accumulation, modular compute infrastructure, and energy-first monetization. AgriFORCE stated the Oyen site development helps establish relationships with gas providers, potentially enabling access to larger sites.

The company indicated it plans to continue growing its fleet of power-efficient mining rigs, leveraging underutilized natural gas, and exploring additional avenues to increase its Bitcoin holdings.

AgriFORCE describes itself as a technology company operating at the intersection of clean energy, digital assets, and infrastructure. The announcement was based on a company press release.

In other recent news, AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd. has announced a new strategic framework centered on bitcoin treasury development, modular compute infrastructure, and integration with off-grid energy systems.
