Management Commentary

Michel Amar, the Company’s CEO, stated: “The increase in BTC production in October 2021 signifies continued operational success for Digihost and demonstrates the preliminary incremental mining rewards being generated as result of the arrival and deployment of new advanced machines at our data center. With additional miners expected to arrive in the weeks ahead, we will focus on optimizing our mining fleet as older machines are cycled out of production and replaced with cutting-edge models, which should enable us to substantially grow our hashrate and continue our strategy of increasing monthly coin production.”
