HIVE Digital exceeds 18 EH/s bitcoin mining capacity ahead of schedule

SAN ANTONIO - HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. (TSXV:HIVE) (NASDAQ:HIVE), a cryptocurrency mining company with a market capitalization of $674.54 million and strong recent performance, announced Wednesday it has completed Phase 2 of its Yguazú facility ahead of schedule, exceeding 18 exahash per second (EH/s) of global Bitcoin mining capacity. According to InvestingPro data, the company has demonstrated impressive momentum with a 55% price return over the past six months.

The company is currently mining over 8.5 Bitcoin per day globally, according to the announcement. HIVE’s operations in Paraguay are powered by renewable hydroelectric energy from the Itaipú Dam, the largest hydroelectric power facility in the Western Hemisphere. The company maintains strong financial health with a current ratio of 3.42, indicating robust liquidity to support its operations.

With the completion of Phase 2 at Yguazú, HIVE has achieved its goal of reaching a total global hashrate of 18 EH/s by Summer 2025. The company now operates 200 megawatts (MW) of hydroelectric power in Paraguay, with a global fleet efficiency of approximately 18.5 joules per terahash.

HIVE also reported that transformers in Phase 3 at its Valenzuela site have been energized, marking the third 100 MW of green energy infrastructure the company has built in Paraguay. ASIC installation at the site is expected to begin next week, as construction is substantially complete.

Upon completion of the Valenzuela site, expected by U.S. Thanksgiving, the company projects daily Bitcoin production will reach approximately 12 BTC, based on current network difficulty. At that scale, HIVE’s global operations would represent approximately 3% of the global Bitcoin mining network.

The company stated that all Phase 3 ASICs destined for Valenzuela have been paid for and shipped, with initial batches already received on site. HIVE noted that capital expenditures for expansion have been deployed, and actual results may vary depending on network difficulty and Bitcoin prices.

The information was disclosed in a company press release.
