AgriForce reports preliminary Bitcoin mining costs

VANCOUVER, BC - AgriForce Growing Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ:AGRI) disclosed preliminary data on Friday regarding its Bitcoin mining operations. The company, known for its prefabricated metal buildings and currently valued at $3.1 million in market capitalization, has provided an early look at its costs for mining the cryptocurrency, based on initial estimates and subject to further review. According to InvestingPro data, the company’s stock has shown significant volatility, with analysts projecting substantial revenue growth exceeding 5,000% for the current year.

The unaudited figures suggest that AgriForce’s average cost to mine one Bitcoin is approximately $41,000. This cost calculation is a weighted average from its operations in Alberta and Ohio, which have only been operational for a few months. The company cautions that these numbers may fluctuate due to a variety of factors, including weather conditions and maintenance issues. Financial metrics from InvestingPro indicate the company faces challenges with a weak gross profit margin of -118.3% and a concerning current ratio of 0.3, suggesting potential liquidity constraints.

Specifically, the Alberta site takes an average of 112.4 days to mine a single Bitcoin at a daily cost of $518.40, totaling around $58,000 per Bitcoin before optimization. Meanwhile, the Ohio facility mines one Bitcoin every 26 days at a cost of $1,350 per day, equating to roughly $36,000 per Bitcoin.

AgriForce’s Bitcoin mining efficiency statistics show a median efficiency of 99.86% and an average downtime of 24 hours per month across all facilities, which includes both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance.

The company’s disclosure is based on a press release statement and is part of an amendment to its Form S-1 registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial data provided is preliminary and may be subject to change following the completion of AgriForce’s financial closing procedures for the first quarter of 2025. InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently undervalued, with 17 additional key insights available to subscribers, including detailed financial health scores and growth projections.

Investors should note that the company’s independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed, or compiled the preliminary financial data, and therefore no opinion or assurance is expressed on the figures. AgriForce emphasizes that the information should not be seen as a substitute for comprehensive financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

In other recent news, AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd. announced the completion of a significant expansion of its cryptocurrency mining operations, with the purchase of 500 S19j Pro Antminers set to be fully installed by May 2025 at its second Ohio facility. This expansion will increase the company’s total hash rate to 166.62 petahashes per second across its facilities. Additionally, AgriFORCE has optimized its Bitcoin mining facility in Sturgeon, Alberta, which now operates at a hash rate of 35.22 petahashes per second. The company has also been awarded a U.S. patent for a crop protection system that generates hydroxyl radicals without chemicals, aimed at extending the shelf life of produce. Furthermore, AgriFORCE has expanded its mining capabilities with three sites in Ohio and Alberta, achieving a combined capacity of 5 megawatts. The company acquired a 5 MW bitcoin mining facility in Ohio for $4.5 million, powered by natural gas flare energy. AgriFORCE secured up to $50 million in financing, with $7 million already allocated for recent acquisitions. CEO Jolie Kahn emphasized the company’s focus on integrating sustainable energy with agricultural practices for future growth.
