Management Insights
Frank Holmes, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of HIVE, commented, "In Fiscal 2025, we continued our track record of disciplined growth. We expanded our operational hashrate from approximately 4.5 EH/s in March 31, 2024 to 6.3 EH/s in March 31 2025—a 40% increase achieved even as the post-halving landscape compressed industry economics. Further, we acquired 300 MW of hydro-powered green-energy sites in Paraguay that management believes has deepened our leadership bench with visionaries like Lieutenant General (Ret.) John R. Evans Jr, Gabriel Lamas, and cloud-computing pioneer Craig Tavares and will transform HIVE's growth in both the mining and HPC businesses. We are extremely excited about the remainder of this year as we scale our Bitcoin mining business to the Company's goal of 25 EH/s by December 31, 2025 and continue the strong growth in our Buzz HPC Business. I'd like to thank our dedicated employees and shareholders for their continued support. Looking forward, our mandate remains the same as it always has been: compound strong shareholder value through disciplined, high-return on invested capital ("ROIC") growth powered by green energy."
Aydin Kilic, President & CEO of HIVE, stated, "The foundation we set in Fiscal 2025 with the acquisition of our 100 MW site in Valenzuela, Paraguay and the 200 MW site in Yguazú, Paraguay has set the stage for what management believes will be the most transformative chapter in HIVE's history. Since the end of Fiscal 2025, HIVE commissioned the first 100 MW at Yguazú two weeks ahead of its projected schedule, which nearly doubled our hashrate to 11.5 EH/s as of today, with 5.5 Bitcoin being produced daily. The announced exahash growth with the Paraguay expansions and the continued growth path for our Buzz HPC division, gives HIVE two high-revenue engines of growth. With Paraguay ramping weekly, new Bitmain S21+ Hydro machines, and our diversified infrastructure strategy firmly in place, management's focuses are driving lower production costs, expanding cash flow, and delivering sustainable long-term value for our shareholders, all while maintaining our green energy focused strategy. We have been strong in the sector when it comes to ROIC as well, with 22% ROIC achieved over the past 12 months, while keeping low general and administrative expenses per Bitcoin mined as well. I am incredibly proud of our team. 2025 is a transformative year for HIVE."
Darcy Daubaras, CFO of HIVE, added, "This reporting period marks a significant milestone for our Company as we have transitioned our financial reporting framework from IFRS to US GAAP. This change aligns with our strategic objectives, enhances comparability with U.S.-listed peers, and supports our potential growth ambitions in U.S. capital markets. We remain committed to transparency and will continue to provide clear, consistent reporting as we move forward. With every megawatt and associated mining hardware for our 300 MW Paraguay expansion now fully funded, we are excited to be on track to deliver our target of 25 EH/s by US Thanksgiving—more than quadrupling our hashrate from March 2025. We believe the scale and efficiency gains from this expansion will significantly enhance our unit economics and drive significant shareholder returns. The initiatives launched in Fiscal 2025 represent the beginning of HIVE's transformation from a modest digital mining company into a globally scaled, sustainability-focused leader in Bitcoin infrastructure."
